The Biru Project - Experimental Fleet

This project is a personal project. I will be making very few changes and experimenting, in terms of aerodynamics and avionics to further develop knowledge and skills. 

A simple Eurofighter Typhoon model is made using scaled plans.
However, modification was done to the structure

Goal 
1. Build Biru - ✅
2. Maiden flight test - ✅
3. Add LED lights 
4. Night Fly 
5. Add accessories (Nose extension) - ✅
6. Fly with nose extension - ✅

Building of Biru

Calibration of  Electronic Speed Controller (ESC)
The calibration of ESC is done for the first time after purchasing
1. Turn on the transmitter (remote control)
2. Move the throttle to maximum
3. Make sure there is no propeller attached to the motor
4. Plug in the battery
5. After 2nd tone, quickly reduce the throttle to a minimum

Bind Transmitter to Receiver (For FlySky Model)
Binding is done for the first time after purchasing 
1. Insert the bind key at B/VCC
2. Connect the power to the receiver
3. Press the black button on the Transmitter and ON the Transmitter 

Calibration of Thrust
1. Check the motor direction
2. Check propeller's leading edge(LE) and trailing edge (TE) 
[TE is the sharpest part]
3. Make the LE cut the air followed by TE. Make sure the motor direction follows this rule
4. Install and tighten the propeller
5. Increase a bit of throttle and check the direction 

Motor Selection

I. Criteria

• AC Brushless motor
• Outrunner

II. What does the number on the Brushless motor mean ?
(Example : D2822/12 1450 KV)

• 28 - Motor diameter  > Wider motor, higher torque 
• 22 - Rotor height 
• 12 - Number of wire turns > Smaller number, faster
• 1450 KV - Revolutions per Volt > Higher KV, faster 

Watts - Volt x Amps > Higher Watts, more powerful

Amps -
