    This, sir, is mind-blowing.

    I can think of sooo many better ways of spending the same amount of money.

    Allow me to add a small video review:
  4. Sariel
    Oh, right. Too many black pieces, I guess :)

    I'm no physicist, but shouldn't we favor long blades over wide blades? I mean, the longer the blade, the greater the angular speed of its tip, which has rather large impact on total thrust, right?

    Sure, my Paypal account is shown on page 2 of the instruction. Thank you.
  7. Sariel
    Nope. I've put weeks of work into this instruction already.

    The full building instruction finally: http://sariel.pl/down/mb540k-bi.pdf Enjoy, and thanks for your patience.

    I fear this one is a bit controversial. While Zblj's machine is fully self-contained except for a power source, some people may point that you just made a couple of propellers that detach from the motors. I mean no offense, but probably many people see a huge difference between your creation and Zblj's one.

    It's a convenient way, not necessarily the best one. Personally, I've built a bunch of Model Team creations with Technic functions included without using any software. Actually, when it comes to functions, I consider trial&error building vastly superior to using computer.

    Impressive. Are you running the RC motors on 18V all the time? Are they OK?

    1. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=71075 2. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x85 I have put a list with parts numbers here: http://sariel.pl/down/mb540-parts-list.html

    Sorry for refreshing this topic again, but the instruction for the model is getting near, and I already have a total parts list for you: http://sariel.pl/dow...-parts-list.png

    Is it just me, or does the top of the "nose" on that thing looks uglier than any other set I've seen in recent years? The part above the front suspension, it looks just like something a designer left halfway through development and forgot to finish.

    There are two answers to your need for chromed pieces: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Aurimax http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=ChromeBricks And that's pretty much all there is to be said :)

    Since by "difficult" I mean "I had to go back several times to correct my own mistakes". There's plenty of intricate linkages inside that rely on very specific connections which are not shown clear enough in the instruction. That, or it's my getting older :)

    The big rotor blades from the 9396 helicopter you asked about are exactly 14 grams each, 31 studs long and 2.5 studs wide (19 mm to be exact). They seem to have a good profile, very smooth and narrower on the "back" side, just like a real rotor blade. But you would need to mount them at angle, because they are not "twisted" relatively to their connecting part.
  18. Sariel
    Very clever.

    I'd love to see this work, but I doubt it will. If you take a look at how RC helis, there's a vast difference between their performance and that what you can achieve with LEGO. For instance, a small heli can house motors that go 18,000 RPM while its total weight is 20 grams - there's no way to beat this with LEGO. Anyway, did you try overdriving the main rotor? Looks like the RC motor may have some spare torque to convert into speed.

    Allow me to drop a little video-review here. With hamsters & stuff :)
  21. Sariel
    Just some old RC car.
  22. Sariel
    Correct, although the latter is not really useful.
  23. Sariel
    Look at the central joint.
  24. Sariel
    Yes, down to every single piece.

    It's almost Christmas, so time for some dashing through the snow - Russian style! More info & photos: http://sariel.pl/2012/12/vityaz-dt-10/ Merry Christmas and find some nice Technic sets under the tree!
