I was able to find time this week to perfect my ping pong launcher a bit more. I updated the launching wheel, motor mount, I built a ‘ball limiter’, and I found a hopper to use. It’s still needs more work, but it’s a start. The old motor mount was big and bulky. Although […]
On my Minnie Mambo build thread over on RCGroups.com, we were discussing what kind of battery that should go into the plane to power the receiver and servos. A normal sized flight pack is way too heavy for this size of plane, so one guy suggested using a BEC and a 2s Lipo battery. […]
