Granddaughter Katya came for summer vacation. Once I sat and looked at drawings with ekranoplans, at one time I “sat down” on them. Katya came up, silently looked over the drawings from her shoulder, pointed at one of them with her finger and stated categorically: “I’ll build this one!”
From an early age, she helped me in the construction and launch of aircraft models.
I had to print a picture on a printer, make a drawing and draw details on the ceiling.
Then Katya did everything herself, only helped her make an inscription and a drawing. By the way, I should note that girls build models better than boys. They are more accurate and attentive.
The work began to boil.
Katya had already glued a lot together when, looking at the drawing, she said: “I’m building something wrong! I have two keels, but here one ”
This is my mistake! I had to help, redo it.
Immediately installed the NHT900 servo on the pH.
The front edge was reinforced with a wooden slat.
Katerina glued together modelpretty quickly, that’s what agile girl pens mean.
And she tied it with color adhesive tape very neatly. I made an inscription and a cockpit with pilots.
The model can be tested.
Motor trials on the grass.
I tested the model on the water.
A small video. Tested the motor.
A strong, gusty wind did not allow to conduct tests in full. Broke the screw. Everything is wet.
