I didn't end up going with the F-117 body styling. However I did keep it in mind when re-doing the Hydro.
As you can see not that much has changed. Just the "capsule" with all the electronics.
Here's some quick snap shots of the progression:
As you can tell I kept it pretty simple. I did get rid of the "spoilers" from the second revision. I have been thinking. An I think if I use Y-splitters for the already mixed servos. Plug them One end of the splitter into channel six as well. then I may be able to make Flaper-ons in the back. Along with my already mixed Elevons. So then I'll end up with better results then the spoilers I had in the front.
As of right now I don't have any Y-splitters unless I make some from then extentions that I have.
How ever with this new setup with the big intakes on the sides. I do not think I am going to put this baby in the water. The last thing I want is a couple hundred dollars of electronics going up in smoke.
So maybe you can see how I kept the idea of the stealth with the intakes and the triangle-ness of the body? I also am going to possibly be making the outside verticles have small rudders as well. I know V1 and V2 were really sharp on turns. But with the amount of throw that the Elevons and Rudder have The collide and get in the way of eachother. So by making the outer stablizers rudders as well. Im hoping to have the same sharp tunrs with softend throws.
To do this I am going to set it up like speed boats with thriple and quad outdrives. Where they are all connected with a pivioting rod.
When the Weather decides to cooperate I'll try to get a VID up.
