Yo ppl, i will be flying off tonight to Qatar, Doha.

Been keeping myself busy all this while, so that the time can pass faster for the trip. Will be taking 2am flight, but have to be in airport by 12am. Before going to airport, im going for a badminton game with my family and my dad's friends. Try to make myself tried so i can sleep in the plane. Its a long journey, 8hours flight, and its a night flight.

Alright thats all, cya when i see u at JK chalet.

Qatar Here I Come!!!

Cheers!

Just came back from medical checkup at AMK for the NYP. Theres already many ppl there even though its in the morning 9am. They open at 8.30. Did x-ray test, blood pressure test, height/weight, eye test and urine test. LOL...

Regarding my scratch build F16, it crashed ytd again~!.. Dunno what happened to it. Gonna decom it liao, probably build another one.

Alright gtg, leaving to gym.. Cheers!

Yeah! I passed my final theory trial test, 46/50. Below 45 consider fail, lol.. Next will be my final theory test on 2 april and my practical course which i will be chionging straight 10days, 2hours each day. Hopefully all goes smoothly and i can get my license ASAP.

WOOT! :)

Wow.. Been busy these few days, so got no time to update the progess of my jet and whats happening along these few days. Actually i had finished building the jet on sat night, and had maiden it on sun morning. First flight was a success, thrown by Alex. however, my maiden flight was scary, onces it was been thrown, it tends to roll right and i need to hold on to left alieron, preventing it to crash. After trimming it, the flight became much better and smoother, it quite a nice plane to fly. On the 2nd attempt, i tried to launch the plane myself, split second after launch the plane roll full right and crashed head first to the ground 10-20m infront of me. Luckily the damage was not so bad, the nose session and the wing session broke. Went back home and i spammed CA and accelerator on the broke sessions. It came back to life again. Will try flying it again this weekend.









Oh ya, last sat was the celebration of my bro and cousin, 17 and 3 respectively. Happy Birthday Larry and Asher!

Amazing, i passed my basic theory test on my first attempt ytd. Many ppl took the test, many bangala, middle age ladies and foreigners. I finished my test rather fast, 15mins out of 50mins for 50 questions. But i didnt end the test, i went back to double check my answers. And while im checking, many left the test room, some failed, some passed. one lady beside me failed and she still can laugh, LOL. Hopeless leh. After that, i went to apply for PDL(provisional driving license), advantage theory trial test and lastly my driving lesson, booked 10 lessons. Hopefully 10 lessons and let me take the driving test. Tmr, i will be taking my advantage theory test, so wish me luck. kekeke..

Next sat, i will be leaving to Doha, Qatar for 3days 2 nights for an event. Looking forward to this trip, as i had nva been to a middle east country. Will be leaving in the morning when u guys are slping, 2am. And its a 8hrs flight. Can slp soundly in the plane. hahaha.. Will reach Doha, Qatar at 5+am their time. Their time is 5hrs behind ours. which means theres no scenery for me to see, nevertheless, i will try to choose window seats. Will be taking Qatar Airways for this trip on a Airbus A330-300, QR639. Back on A330-300, QR638, all at T3. Awesome!

What a tiring day today. Went flying with Jackson, Wei Jing and Berry in the morning. Weather was good, calm wind. Got home after 1-2hours of flying, onces i got home, i straight away ask my maid whether my items had arrived, she said yes, i immediately open up the parcel, first thing i saw was air bags, its a great idea to protect the stuffs. Then i saw a turnigy neckstrap, it was a free gift, how good is that. All my stuffs are in good condition, thank you HobbyCity. LoL!

First of the day was soldering the gold connectors and dean connectors onto the ESC. In this order, i ordered a pack of dean connectors, cheap and nice. The connectors are like virgins, super tight. hahahaha...!.. Okay, then i went on to install my motor onto my zero fighter which is given by my friend. Built a firewall for my F16 jet afterwards with a 1/16 plywood, i am happy with it, looks to me its strong.










Last of the day, i installed the servos onto the wing for alierons control. I ordered ez linkage and arms from HC just for this F16. Firstly, i cut out the flaps and trimmed it alittle, so as it will not touch the sides. Second, i glued my Diamond precision mirco servo onto the wing, 3cm from the TE without flaps on. I think this servos is overkill for this, but i had these for spare given by a friend of mine for my birthday present, so i just used it. ITS LIGHT!! Fixing up the linkages was kinda easy, and TA DA!! I placed the servos on top of the wing is because i afraid that if i place the servos below, it might became loosen or drop off went i land, also by gravitational force.




To be continued...

Building continues...

Today, i did the fuselage. First part of the day is cutting the curve shape support, i trace it out from the plan and cut it out. This process is repeated till the last one. I used HobbyKing foam-safe CA(BSI) and Mercury Accelerator, clean and quick job. After doing so, the shape of F16 is almost out, as u can see.

I cut out 2 different length of foam, 2 length each. These are for the sides, up and bottom, to support the cardboard when i bend it to shape, u will see the results later. This is also a simple task, took me 10mins or so.


Okay finish with the structure of the fuselage. Now its time to cut out the cover for the fuselage. What they recommend me is 3mm depron foam, but i couldnt find it from Art Friend, so no choice, i chose cardboard instead. Firstly i cut out the shape of the cover, and i cut the shape out by placing the plan on top of the cardboard is cut it by the outline. There are 4 parts for the fuselages, cut out 4 parts and had cut out some for spare, just in case i destroy the another one. kekeke.. For today, i only glued the bottom covering to the fuselage, as i am waiting for my electronics to be shipped to me from HobbyCity. I will place all my electronics on top. I will need to buy some carbon rods, both hollow and solid for the elevator session and some reinforcement.




Look at the mess i done to my balcony. LoL!


A test fit of the upper layer. Damn it beautiful! Cant wait to glue the coverings on and paint it.

Hi all, i had been slagging all along. Nowadays, i was kinda bored and thought of building something like planes. So i went online to airplane forum and search for plans of jets. There are many different models to choose from. Finally i chose one of my favourite jet of all time, the F16C. I chose it because it is small and looks good. Okay, after i downloaded the plans and printed them out on A4 size paper. After which i tape them together, so i can look at the full scale of the plan. Like i said, its small. All these stuffs was done yesterday BTW.

Today, i went to Art Friend at Bras Brasah to buy some compressed foam and UHU por. The plan recommend me to buy 6mm and 3mm compressed foam, but they do not have 6mm and 3mm ones, so i bought the nearest one, 5mm ones, got 3 big pieces. And for the 3mm ones, i replaced it with cardboard, hope it works. Went home, settle down for awhile before i start work on my F16 project.

Firstly, i cut out the shape from the plan of the F16 fuselage, following the outlines of the fuse. After which, i transfer the result onto the 5mm compressed foam. To start out the outlines on the foam, i used a pencil to trace the outlines on the compressed foam, spent 5-10mins doing it. After doing so, i start cuting using a hobby knife, just before i cut, i changed the blade, as i want a clean cut. It took me another 10mins though.







Now, after cutting the main fuselage out. I need to cut the vertical fuselage into half, so as to put the horizontal fuselage together. Cutting the lines is rather simple, as its the same job as cutting the fuse, as method. 10mins passed while cutting. Follow after that is glueing the top vertical fuselage to the horizontal fuselage. I used HobbyKing Foam-safe CA (also known as BSI) with Mercury accelerator. I aline them properly and start spamming CA and accelerator. This job is quick and clean. And then, something got to my mind, i think i forgotten to add some carbon rods to strengthen the whole fuse, so i went on to find some used carbon rods, i am luck i had some left over ones and its long enough. So i went on and spam CA and accelerator. At first i glued the first rod on the main wing, then i thought, the LE might be weak, so i decided to glue a thin carbon rod onto the LE, now i felt much more stronger. Awesome! Damn, after that, i found out that the missile thingy are also freaking weak, and i had no more carbon rods left. Few minutes of searching and thinking, i took out 2 ice-cream sticks, cut them inside half and stick them on the side of the missile thingy. I am impressed with my first attempt of my scratch build from plan. Thats all for this, stay tune for the next part.
