Morphine Build Pictures

Slightly odd photo, but here is the finished fuse and wing mounted on my first morphine. Tail is already cut and covered.

The fuse can now be covered but I still need to cut the ailerons in the wing and mount servos before the wing can be done.

Aiming to have it done by the end of Feb.

Nearly done......

Ooooooooooo Nice!

Looks great!
I'm about to start covering mine....YAY!

I'm about to start building my next one! A slightly improved version - there are a few things I'm gonna change on the fuselage. It will be like a Morphine II.

Hey Robert, or others, question for you.....

Not for Piker class racing, but how much power do you think a well built morphine fuse could take without failing?

Just in case someone fancies trying to see how fast one would go?

I'd worry about the wing before I worry about the fuse. Why don't you try and let us know

Well, not quite build pictures but they are re-build pictures!

Had a bad day today, completely smashed the nose of my Morphine. But once I got home, after some coaching from Glenn, I managed to get the fuse back together again. In fact, I think it looks better now!

Just got to fix the wing leading edge now.

Use Dark Brown on the nose that way the clay won't show next time.

LOL

Wing repair has started.....

Oh, and I did a static amp test to see why I was having problems with it cutting out.

25-26A static!!!!

sihinch · April 16, 2015, 09:31:01 PM

Finished! Again.

I knew you were running that last year!

But that old ESC never cut out!

Stephan told me that old CC18A ESCs can take 30A, so I found some old ones to buy on RCGroups!

It's still the same ESC boys!

I'm pretty sure a little cooling is critical.
