That's very nifty! Mine was simpler; the axle was about 50 mm above the Mobius, so the Mobius was the weight swinging from side to side, making the footage hard to watch: th-cam.com/video/RHYNoXHdXhA/w-d-xo.html My sailboat doesn't have the room on deck for the more elaborate version you made, but I could give it a try in a smaller form on my Kyosho Seawind, which has a bit more room under the boom. I have a two axle gimbal available, but the extra weight and need for a powersource, with the electronics just above waterlevel, prevented me from testing that.
Hi. The gimbal is very basic, just one axis with Mobius cam on a base that pivots on a wire, with a weight hanging down. Home made. The trick is to have it almost balanced with just enough out of balance to get it to hang vertically. That way you slow down the swinging rate and should be more stable. It's not stable like a gyro but OK. Video link of testing. Cheers. th-cam.com/video/78zqyIOzGOo/w-d-xo.html
A very fine Volmer Project. I operated my VJ 22 for 4 years using an 0220B Cont., engine. Produced 2600 R.P.M. on Take -off in a pusher configuration. The landing gear, wheels!. The Harbour master in my area advised me that down wind of my Volmer people could here the profanities while doing the take-off run and keeping the gear up. On approach and landing on the land. I used a Tibetan prayer wheel to assist. It worked very well.
I love the care you take. One thing is puzzling me - I see you spray/glue the paper template onto the foam, but don't see it from that point on in the build. If you removed it, how did you do it without damaging the foam, please? This video hAS INSPIRED ME TO BUILD ONE, ALTHOUGH i DON'T HAVE A 3D PRINTER, IT WILL BE A TRADITIONAL APPROACH, BUT i STILL WANT TO GET IT RIGHT. tHANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TROUBLE TO SHOW US YOUR BUILD, AND LOVELY AIRCRAFT, dEN mORAN,sWANSEA. sORRY cAPS LOCK!
Thank you for your kind words about the plane. The adhesive I use is a low tack 'basting' spray used for sewing. A light coat is sufficient to hold the paper template while cutting the foam, then the paper is easily removed without effect on the foam. My first model of this didn't have 3D printed parts, just frames etc made from the same Depron foam. Easily done. Cheers.
Hi! Just a quick word to let you know that the tip you gave me on using the temp spray glue worked a treat on the Polaris I'm building today. I've had to check on finishes etc., because the depron is the new gray colour.I will be starting the Drake as soon as I finish the Polaris.Probably by next Friday.

Brilliant methodology, finish, and flight. Thank you very much for a really cool demonstration of 'how to' built lightweight aircraft. Diolch yn fawr, Den, Wales.
Foam safe CA (cyanoacrylate) - normal CA will dissolve styrene foam. Can also use epoxy (heavy), polyurethane (slow cure), or UHU Por (use as a contact adhesive).
Sorry but I do not know the exact age of this clock. It belonged to my Grandmother who was born very late 19th century. I don't how or when she acquired it. The clock has the crossed arrows of HAC but I cannot find a number. Judging by similar clocks I have seen on the internet, it could be 100 years old. Cheers.
@@generalpurpose31 Thank you for your reply i to inharited a clock similar but have not been able to find an image of the clock anywhere It is a mantle clock with alarm no chimes.i will keep searching Thanks again
She is beautiful - I am looking for a similar video w/ DO-X
Were we find the plans?

Beautiful Art in motion. They are hypnotic. Such a smooth runner, well done!

Any footage of, or link to the pendulum Gimbal? I tried something simple and the camera would swing too much, defeating the purpose.

Just to cool. I subded your site. Great three channel plane!
Great, is it possible to get the stl. files ?

@@generalpurpose31 I'll get some of that! Thanks again, I hope to do the build in January, and will keep you posted? Den

Whew, kinda let that escapement get away from you. Nice animation, it's a really beautiful design.

Thanks for this great video ! What is the glue you use for depron pleas?
Do you happen to know how old this clock is you are working on thanks

I can't build that for my kids
You are a genius.
Beautiful
Excellent spectacular fantástico 😎👍👍
Lots of beautiful technical daeails
Nut
good work, Could you share the plans and the parts in abs to do it?
love the use of depron and the printed parts!
Flying very nicely Gags. Congratulations!!
Boring zzzzzzz
Rode it for the first time the other day. Way less glass ridden when you took this vid lol
Looks like fun!!
