Description
Building
on the success of the Wanabee, Impulse and Mayhem
is the Bedlam.Once again the Bedlam is an attractive,
sleek and quick as well as being very aerobatic and a delight to
fly. It is very tough with a number of design features to minimise
any damage should the model have a serious mid-air collision or
a model crunching impact with the ground. The wing spars extend
to the tips to reduce the possibility of damaging the elevons should
the model land on it's wing tip. A bolt on wing system that allows
the wing to become detached from the fuselage in the event of a
serious mishap. This disapates the energy thereby minimising model
damage. In addition there is a very strong EPP clad a ply box fuselage
allowing easy access to the radio equipment.
Due
to it's efficient MH42 wing section and clean lines the Bedlam
is a very cabable aerobatic machine particularly if with the help
of a computerised transmitter. The ailerons are enabled as flapperons
and the flaps are then coupled with the elevators. Loops, rolls,
spin, stall turns etc.etc. are all performed with ease. In addition
there is provision to to add up to 8ouces (230 grams) of ballast
for those windy bumpy conditions. It will also double as a 60 inch
EPP pylon racer for local club events.
Contruction,
like that of the Mayhem consists of a ply box fuselage covered
in EPP and cross weave tape whilst the wing follows the standard
PMP practice of using hardwood spars with additional centre section
bracing and ply/balsa laminated ailerons for stiffness and durability.
The leading edge of The Correx Fin is fitted with a plastic fairing
which also doubles as the Rx aerial conduit. Construction time is
about 1/3 of that of a similar wood / foam model.
The
Bedlam requires 4metal geared micro servos (HS81MG/85MG)and
a 2/3AF size Rx battery with a small receiver (Webra /
JR R700 / Futaba 147F / Hitec Slimline) i.e. an Rx where the
servos and crystal plugs in the end. Bedlam
