Łukasz GlińskiWatching, got one in the cupboard too - let's see how bad it is😉

Andy BallGonna watch this one!!, in the stash for the last 16 years....never found the "mojo" to build it....so interested!!!

Nikolaos KouzinisDesign of electrical parts.
Two circuits.
Parallel connections to have constant power on all individual components
1st circuit
A 9 volt battery with a resistor
For engines and expedition lights.
Two 16,000 rpm / min motors will be included in a separate circuit. I will try to stick on this circuit the two expedition lights (green red) at the ends of the wings with very small cmds. Because the wing is not thick, I will have to pass the very fine threads by drilling on the outside under the wing about 2 cm before the edge. That amount of volts in the motor circuit in parallel, I believe, to power those two power-hungry LEDs. The prerequisite is the success of a very thin gluing because their size is about twice the head of a pin.
Second circuit
A 4.5 volt battery without resistance
Exterior and interior lighting
Exterior lighting.
Landing-take-off lights
An SMD LED will be inserted into the nasal wheel. I will drill the front wheel cover as the instructions say and I will glue the round clear plastics which are the lights. From behind will enter a strong smd led which with the diffusion will reveal the transparent round plastics which they illuminate. Space is limited.
Search-Rescue Wing Lighting
There will be two leds on wings
Red light at the top of the fuselage.
I don't have a card to flash it independently. A steady red LED will be inserted. For information, if a flashing LED is installed without a special card, the entire circuit will be interrupted depending on the switching on and off of this LED. Everything will flash. The upper bouts featured two cutouts, for easier access to the upper frets. I thought about putting optical fiber but the interior space is limited to place the fiber infrastructure as well as its angle which should be 90 degrees
Armory warehouse light
A led will be placed on its ceiling and it will light up towards the tarmac
Interior lighting.
An smd white led immediately behind the cockpit and placing red jelly in the access opening to the forward viewing area. This is done to illuminate spaces differently with a LED in order to reduce the demand for power. One led in the main space of the fuselage and one led at the rear of the fuselage at the rear entry opening.
Circuit terminals
The two circuits will have two wires respectively, for the positive pole and one for the negative. left wheels. A pair parallel inside the fuselage along the longitudinal axis which will result in a connection to the right wheel socket (via the right wing). Each pair of cables will end up in each wheel system. We do not put them all in the same circuit (lights, motors) because the amount of energy that will be demanded from these motors will not leave any excess for the lights, especially the SMD LEDs.
I believe they will work. We will see in practice why electricity is a little unpredictable

Nikolaos KouzinisI am waiting Erik de Smet, my advisor, to give me his OK to begin the work

Erik De SmetIt looks a bit complicated, Nikolaos. At first sight, you risk to burn the leds if you put them on a circuit without a resistor. I will check further. I recommend you should build the whole system outside the model first to test it, but with the propellers fixed on the motors to have the correct lower load on each circuit. Maybe the 9V battery can supply everything if you can balance the circuits with proper resistors. Btw I like your interior layout very much.

Nikolaos KouzinisThank you EriK. I' ll follow your advices. You have right about the propellers, to check them on the motors for the correct lower load.

Nikolaos KouzinisThe fuselage closed. With the WHIP. German "precision" rational design

Clifford KeeslerMan that is alot of wiring, but it is looking very nice. It is sure to be a beauty when finished.

Nikolaos KouzinisThank you Lukasz, Eric, Cliff. Final electric test. The kit has many application problems in basic pieces. I became big surgeon. The Revell' s design is bad. The quality of plastic reminds me VEB plastikart. Wood. They cannot understand that some pieces have and thickness.

Clifford KeeslerYou are doing wonders with it. It is going to be very impressive.

Nikolaos KouzinisThe front window entered. Minor defects from the painting were corrected. Two pairs of thin sheet of aluminum soft drink were placed in the front intakes. The kit does not have them. The motor shafts were glued to the propeller bases. Fortunately, the strong gluing succeeded without leaking glue to the motor shafts. Terminals were installed in the cables. Because this aircraft has a larger wheelbase than the rest and so the wooden tram that I have for an airport runway representation would like to be pierced from the beginning, I decided to put cables with terminals. The rest of the aircraft I have the terminals are mounted on their wheels. The styrofoams at the ends of the wings protect the SMD leds lest my awkwardness damage them and then no repairs can be made. The SMD leds of the wings are glued with fine gluing and with bare very thin cables. Because they come from the inside of the wing and then outside from the bottom to be glued to the edges, in order not to short-circuit the glued from below with insulating tape which was painted in the color of the lower surface of the wings.

Nikolaos KouzinisFor the presentation of the aircraft I made a wheeled elevated workbench for engineers from thin wire. Of course, to protect them from the Mediterranean sun, I added a beach umbrella made of wire and colored strips of insulating tape. The staircase will also serve as a decor. It also takes a little humor to lighten the "rational" modelist dogmatism.

Gordon SørensenGreat looking maintanence stand, Nikolaos! Knowing your work, surprised it isn't motorised or have working lights, too!
3 December 2020, 11:56
Nikolaos KouzinisThank you Bernd and Gordon. Gordon it has both lights and motors in action.It has lights inside(back door and cockpit), landing-take off, navigation ,and classical on wings I 'll share video when it will be ready.
4 December 2020, 12:02
Gordon SørensenI was saying the maintenance stand doesn't lights or a motor...

Clifford KeeslerYou out did your self this time, I think this is your best yet.
7 December 2020, 16:08
Erik De SmetYes! running engines too. A great Nikolaos built. Félicitations, mon ami.
