Boomerang Atom Square Build
With the help of our friends at Boomerang RC Jets, we are in the process of building the Tiger-schemed Atom Squared.
After a quick trip up to Muncie yesterday, we are the proud owners of an Atom Squared.
We will share some build photos along the way, in addition to showcasing many of our 3D printed products.
Component-wise we will be utilizing a Kingtech K-235 Turbine and Advanced Radio SF-20 Flight System with Gyro.
We will also utilize of SF20 Flush Mount, an Xicoy LGC-25 Surface mount and many of our fuel system mounts.
Building the Tail Feathers
First up is the installation of the servos in the horizontal and vertical stabs.
Here we are installing a TORQ servo in one of the horizontal stabilizers. Note, we use lacing twine to pull the servo lead over to the access hole once the servo is installed. The long 3mm bolt aids in handling and aligning the servo into the opening, which is further in on the stab.
All of the tail feathers now have servos and pushrods installed. We can now move on to the wing servo installations.
The landing gear, flap, and aileron servos were installed next. We chose the Unilight Uniconnect 9P4S connectors. These are low profile, which was helpful since the intention is to have connectors in the wheel well.
These do require soldering skills to assemble. The primary control surfaces have redundant connections on the edge card.
