Noiseplane

This page is for the yellow remote-controlled airplane at noisebridge.

current status

the plane is taken apart somewhat, it still has a hole in the wing and a broken rib, but it looks like all it needs is some tape over the hole and don't worry about the broken rib.

jake and evan took out the batteries and are making a new pack for the plane out of some non-dead rechargables.
The remote needs about 9.6 volts rechargable pack, and we need dedicated chargers for the plane and remote, preferably powered by the lead-acid 12v battery in the toolbox / stand.
The toolbox stand has a non-dead 12v lead-acid gel-cell battery in it now, and a wall-wart trickle charger made by evan.

The servo that mounts on the wing, and makes the ailerons move, was removed by someone and the bracket for it is in a bag. There is another servo there to replace it, but the connector is different and it doesn't have the right pulley mounted on its output shaft.
