Found this link that might interest some. The site is in Japanese so I have
no idea what it's all about other than R/C aircraft. Scroll to the bottom of
the page and click on the Enterprise for a movie.

The plan was published in one of Traplet mags a year or so ago.
I kept my copy.

Surf to
https://www.traplet.com/pages/store/action.lasso?-token.cust=12826910&-database=
Products.fp3&-layout=CGI&-response=/pages/store/detail.html&id=3594&-search


Since the URL will probably come through bollixed, go to
http://www.traplethouse.com/
then go to
"Aircraft Plans"
then go to
"Miscellaneous Plans".

It's at the bottom of the second page.

IIRC it's designed for a .40 glow engine.

According to the original article, the model flies very well albeit
without much roll authority - it flies flat turns by design.

Lands very slowly with a decidedly high AOA.

The designer had to fudge a bit about the 'warp nacelles'.  They're
physically linked to the dish, but it's not all that noticeable.  

Besides, you won't likely run into anyone who's seen the rider scale
version . . .

Interesting model.

URL seems good, but the site seems b0rked ...

| IIRC it's designed for a .40 glow engine.

The movie looks like it's an electric.  Probably a GWS IPS power
system?  You can see the battery up front, underneath the saucer right
up front.

I'm guessing that the saucer section does all the flying, with elevons
at the back of it, and everything else is kept as light as possible
because it doesn't do anything (except that the vertical parts will
act like a vertical stabilizer) except muck with the CoG and look
cool.

In this movie it's definately banking to turn.  It doesn't have lots
of roll authority, but it seems to have enough.

| Lands very slowly with a decidedly high AOA.

The AoA is very high all the time in the movie.  It must have lots of
power compared to it's weight to fly at all :)

I don't think that's the case in this movie.  Or at least you can't
see them even before it's launched.

| Interesting model.

Yup.  I'm tempted to try and make a similar one ...

i.e. never :)

Site is up as of 22:47 UTC 052504.

Mayhap I mis-read the original query.  I thought the respondent wanted
to know where to get plans for such a model.

The model in the movie doesn't look like it was derived from the
Traplet plans, it looks a good bit smaller.  The Traplet design is 23"
across . . . wingspan, they call it.

The Traplet design appeared to meander about with a good bit more
oomph, and the turns were indeed quite flat.

Which is what one would expect with the inertial dampeners in
operation . . . for a change.

   If building such a project....and thinking Vulcan. Would it be
logical to assume that a brushless warp core would be a good choice???

   After seeing this........mine just got cleared!!!
I think a Romulan Praetor Heavy Dreadnought would be cooler looking or
even a Klingon Bird of Prey..........but I need some help; how much
mAh would disruptor banks draw????.....NiMh or lipos???     :-)

    Seriously, this is would make a cool project. I clicked on
airplane plans on the page......but.....comes up dead. Any help or
links ect. would be appreciated.

          TY

Drat !

I hate it when that happens.

The URL worked earlier today, now it's down.

Oh, well.

The main URL is http://www.traplethouse.com/

Try it again maybe tomorrow.

The route to the  >'Nterprise < plan is via "Aircraft Plans", then
"Miscellaneous Plans", and it's on the second page at the bottom.

As far as building one goes, I think Photon torpedoes would be against AMA
regs but technically Phasor Cannons aren't really projectiles...............
