Astro-Hydro 127% Plans & Build Project

[AstroBoy]

In order to prevent confusion, i've started another build thread on the larger version of the Astro-Hydro. This plans are scaled up to 127% of original "Astro-Hydro 2" plans. Please note that there are 2 distintive differences between the 2 plans, this one has a larger central rudder and the rear top wing shape is slightly different and larger.

This larger Hydro plan is for those who have AXI 2212 class or Himax 2025/4200kv 4:1 gearbox type of BL motors and 1250mah 3S lipo and above power setup only, 20C DISCHARGE RATE strongly recommended.

Feel free to download and build

I have to stress that these FREE plans from me are for individual use and not to be re-packaged and sold somewhere else discreetly. I do not wish to profit any monies from this plans, as they were not my original idea anyway.

Credits always goes to the original designers who came up with this craft, they are Michael Connally and Earnest Butler.

2nd August 2005 Update

You can use the Adobe Acrobat software and print to "TILED" mode. Sorry about that.

wah i relly not good in computer.ive been searching for the tiled function to print tiled put still cannot find.can someone tell me how

[AstroBoy]

Heli Friend,

You have Acrobat software right, just click print, change your current printer to "Adobe PDF", then choose page scaling to "Tile All Pages", Tile scale = 100%, cut marks change to "Western-Style", and that's it.
