Triple Neo Speed - Time Lapse Build

In this video I will show you a time lapse build of the Aeronaut Triple Neo Speed. The fuselage consists of a GRP part combined with a carbon fiber tube. The wings are build as a classic balsa rib construction. The quality of the kit is very good with a fine selection of balsa sheets and a high accuracy of the laser cut parts. As usual for this kind of kits you have some room for own modifications. For example I replaced the original pulltruded carbon tube with a roll wrapped carbon tube to get more torsional strength. The trailing edges of the wings were reinforced with a carbon roving. To have a more carefree handling of the wings during attaching and removing I added 44g glass fiber to the inside of the skin in the area of the inner two rib fields. I strongly recommend to close the brass tube for the torsion rod as shown in the video. This prevents the torsion rod from sliding to one side which in the worst case could pull the rod completely out of the other wing. During flight this would definitely be a catastrophic failure.
All in all I really enjoyed the build and can recommend it for anyone who has some basic experience in balsa building. The good build instructions leave almost no room for mistakes.

Excellent build video, thank you for going to the trouble of publishing it. I have recently purchased a Speed wing kit and the pod and boom fuselage. I'm sure this tutorial will be of much help to me. What is the wall thickness of the CF tube you used for the fuselage? Greetings to all from Harrison, AR, USA.

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks for your feedback! The wall thickness is only 0.5 mm but due to the fibre orientation in 2 directions it can handle the loads quite well. Even though I have to say that the tail looks a bit shaky. But the old rule seems to apply: things that bend don‘t break. The shop where I purchased the CF tube is specialized on such gliders and they recommend this tube for tail designs like on the Triple Neo. Had no issues so far during all the flights. Enjoy your build!

[@christopherleveck6835]

Does it have everything you need to build all three wings? If not, can you build the big wing with removable sections in the middle to make all three usable?

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, you need to decide which version you want to build and buy the respective kit. The kit only contains the parts for the one version. Consequently the Triple Neo can be ordered in 3 different kits. If you also want the other versions then you can order the wing kits separately. I have already bought the thermic wing and will build it during this winter. It can then be combined with my existing fuselage. Building the big wing with removable sections could be possible if you modify it but that will certainly add some weight.

[@OliveiraX]

@@bavarian_rc one other thing: what is that eliptical template you used for the wing? Did it come with the kit? Did you make it yourself? What is it made of?

[@bavarian_rc]

This thing is made of 3mm Depron and was part of the kit. It is used to align the spar and the skins. A quite clever solution that the manufacturer Aeronaut uses in many of their kits.

[@flymachine]

I respect massively anyone who still has the patience and skill to build and cover in this world of ultra ready to fly, I did secretly wish it was a pure glider though but with that speed wing I imagine some high speed passes are in order.

[@bavarian_rc]

There are the ones who like building and there are the ones who like flying. I like both! So the process of building a plane is something I really enjoy. The Triple Neo would also be a great pure glider but the next slope is more than 20 km away whereas my usual flying area is 2 minutes away from home. So having a motor is the most practical setup. Despite being a light weight build the Triple Neo can get pretty fast. Top speed was around 150 km/h in a dive. But due to the low weight it slows down pretty quickly. So typically I don‘t go too fast but just enjoy the great ability to float from one thermal to the other even over greater distances.

[@tobiasschilcher2778]

Vielen Dank! Den Triple Neo kann ich wirklich nur empfehlen, ich fliege ihn immer wieder gerne, sowohl mit den Speed Flächen als auch Thermic Flächen. Der Kleber ist Epoxid Laminierharz. Ich verwende das Epoxidharz L mit Härter L von R&G (www.r-g.de/art/100110)

[@richardbossicard2311]

Belle vidéo👍. En version électrique, j'ai dû rajouter 87g de plomb ☹️ malgré le tube de carbone utilisé dans la vidéo.

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks! A friend of mine had the same issue. The reason was that the balsa wood used for the horizontal and vertical stabilizer was more dense and thus heavier than the one on my Triple Neo. In consequence he used a 2200mAh battery instead of my 1800mAh battery and about 15g of balance weight in the nose. The total weight is about 100g higher than my Triple Neo. Nevertheless the flight performance is quite comparable. The extra weight helps a bit in windy conditions. The main advantage of the carbon tube shown in my video is the greater strength for torsional forces. the lower weight is a nice side effect. I hope you enjoy you Triple Neo!

[@MEDIAWORXstudio]

34:30 I don't understand, why you soldered two servo wires if there is only one servo in the wing?

[@bavarian_rc]

The Triple Neo is a flexible concept. There are 3 different wing types you can combine with the same fuselage. I also want to build the thermic wings and connect them to my existing fuselage. The thermic wings have ailerons and spoilers, meaning 2 servos per wing.

Hi Peter, the new frame doesn’t need tabs. The servo is directly screwed to the frame with one screw on each side. Robert

[@tomtiny]

moin moin. ich möchte mir jetzt auch einen möglichst leichten thermic bauen. hast du irgendwelche probleme mit dem carbon rohr? mitgeliefert wird ja ein 10x8 und du hast da jetzt ein 10x9er eingebaut. hat das bis jetzt alles so gehalten? mfg

[@bavarian_rc]

Servus! Das mitgelieferte Rohr ist ja pulltrudiert, d.h. alle Fasern sind in Längsrichtung. Auf Torsion hat ein solches Rohr natürlich eine geringere Festigkeit als ein gewickeltes Rohr wie das von mir verwendete. Dadurch muss das pulltrudierte eine größere Wandstärke haben als das gewickelte. Soweit die Theorie. Da ich auch noch keinen Flieger mit CFK-Rohr als Leitwerksträger hatte war ich ein wenig skeptisch ob sich die Theorie auch in der Praxis bestätigt. Nach bislang 21 Flügen mit meinem Triple habe ich aber noch keinerlei Festigkeitsprobleme feststellen können. Kann die Lösung also nach wie vor empfehlen. Ich habe mir inzwischen übrigens auch die Thermik-Flächen gekauft und möchte sie mir diesen Winter bauen. Kleiner Tipp noch, schau dass Du das Leitwerk so leicht wie möglich baust. Wenn im Bausatz recht schweres Balsaholz drin ist, dann würde ich fast dazu raten die Beplankung durch leichtes zu ersetzen. Mit dem langen Hebelarm muss Du sonst vorne entweder einen großen Lipo reinpacken oder im schlimmsten Fall sogar Blei. Ein Bekannter hat den Triple ebenfalls gebaut und dort war das Balsa sehr viel schwerer als bei mir. Am Ende ist der Flieger ganze 100g schwerer geworden als meiner bei ansonsten identischem Aufbau.

[@tomtiny]

@@bavarian_rc vielen vielen dank für die schnelle Antwort. Ich hab überlegt aus dem vorhandenen Höhenleitwerk ein V Leitwerk zu bauen und die Teile für das Seitenleitwerk komplett wegzulassen. Der originale Triple hatte ja auch ein V Leitwerk. Außerdem hab ich in die Balsaplatten für die Leutwerkbeplankung schon ein paar Löcher gemacht. Ich hoffe dass er unter 1kg bleibt. Mal schauen :) guten rutsch!

[@tomtiny]

@@bavarian_rc also ich hab hier und da jetzt noch mal etwas rumprobiert. Habe leichteres holz genommen was ich noch rumfliegen hatte. Wenn ich das benutze und noch ein V Leitwerk baue, dann spare ich inkl. leichterem Akku gut 131g. Sollte sich also lohnen

[@bavarian_rc]

Coole Idee mit dem V-Leitwerk. Stimmt, der originale Triple hatte auch ein V-Leitwerk. Mein Triple Neo Speed liegt bei genau 1000g mit einem 1800 mAh 3S Akku. Die Thermikflächen sind aber etwas schwerer als die Speedflächen, so dass Du mit 131g Gewichtseinsparung durchaus eine Chance auf unter 1kg hast. Berichte mal wenn Du den Triple fertig hast, bin jetzt echt neugierig geworden. Dir auch guten Rutsch!

[@scaneagle62]

I bought this kit and wanted the speed like you but they sent me the RES version. I thought you could build what ever version you want in the one package. Wrong, it didn't have the parts to make the speed only the RES. I tried to tell them but all emails were in French so I got no where. So I'm stuck with the res version. Also the motor they recommended I bought and the motor mount holes didn't line up. And the spinner had to be cut way back for the spinner to work. The instrutions are in french so their useless. If it weren't for your video I'd really be up shit creek without a French paddle.

[@bavarian_rc]

Oh man that‘s bad. Wrong version, everything in French and a shop that is not answering. I am happy to see that my video was helpful for you. I also had some difficulties with the motor installation. I used the recommended actro motor which fit nicely to the mounting holes. But it should be positioned at least 1 or 2mm further to the nose to ease the mounting of the prop and spinner. In the meantime I installed the Z-Spinner and props and it was even worse. I don’t know how advanced you are in the build but maybe it helps. The English instructions are available for download on the manufacturer web site (a bit hidden): aero-naut.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/1128-xx-Triple_NEO_instruction_en.pdf Let me know if I can help you for any remaining questions. By the way, you can order the speed wings separately (around 70€). I just ordered the thermic wings so I can switch between wings depending on the conditions. Greetings from Bavaria

[@scaneagle62]

Thank's so much for your help. I looked for the instructions and couldn't find it. I already built the wing tips . They need to tell people that all three models don't come in the box. Maybe we are just to suppose to know.

[@bavarian_rc]

The instructions were really not so easy to find. For the three different versions it depends on how the shop is advertising it. In the shop where I bought mine it was quite well explained that you need to decide which version you want to build and chose the correct one. Finally the triple is a great plane. You will like it. Just one additional tip, try to keep the tail as light as possible. It will be ok if you have light balsa in the kit but if the balsa is a bit on the heavy side you might need a lot of weight in the nose (or a bigger battery).

[@scaneagle62]

Thanks again. And yes some of the tail feathers were heavy stock. I dont like the fact that the res doesn't have ailerons. I was thinking about making some small ones if I can make some fit. Also you blow me away with how clean your work area is! (Unless of coarse, you edit that out!👍).

[@bavarian_rc]

I have never tried a RES plane but I think they are designed to fly well without ailerons… but I have to admit that I prefer planes with ailerons.

HI Robert, Very well done time lapse video of the Shaka design!!! I have made a 3-D print-out for the aero-naut servos. I had to remove about 0.5mm on either inner side of the bracket for a near perfect fit. So if tolerance allows, perhaps increase that measure by 0.5mm or 0.6mm on each side??? the holes for attaching the servo to the bracket are near perfect as is. Hence i am questioning if it is worthwhile widening the measurement or just simply filing away the excess material in order to have a perfect fit. If you do make a modification to the STL file i will certainly give it a trial in having a 3-D print made. Peter Have a Merry Christmas and may all the best wishes touch your life and your loved ones!

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi Peter, thanks for having a look at my Shaka video! Coming back to the servo frames I have a little issue when making the adjustment you proposed (0.5 increase of the space for the servo body on both sides). When I do this it intersects with the holes for the screws (actually cutting them open). Do you think I could increase the distance between the holes also a bit, like 0.5 on both side? I wonder why they made the holes so close to the servo body. In any case I made a new Version V1.1 (drive.google.com/file/d/1bao89wBdQm8YX4Qxk9BGyOjg_ymPBROb/view?usp=sharing) with a wider space for the servo body (0.5 on both sides). Mounting holes moved outwards by 0.1mm. Small doubler (or patch) put next to the holes which you can file down as needed (a lot easier than filing down the whole surface). I hope this works. Also to you and your loved ones all the the best and a merry Christmas. Robert

[@alexmcmeekin2658]

Nice build.... but! At 23.00 the webs for the wing joiner box should be vertical grain! Doing them long-grain is making me very nervous! I'd go so far as to say that they're almost pointless being long grain.

[@bavarian_rc]

You are absolutely right … but 😜! They are not foreseen in the original build kit and are more or less only to cleanly close the box. I noticed when I edited the video that the grain was in the wrong orientation and was hoping that no one else would see it. So it proves that you really watched my video in detail 👍 Greetings from Bavaria!

Hi Peter. Everything is ok for me. I am making progress on the Thermic wings. The basic structure of the LH wing is done. Currently I am in the middle of the RH wing. All in all the progress is slower than I was hoping for but there were so many other priorities in that last couple of weeks that building had to stick back a bit. The build process of the Thermic wings is almost identical to the speed wings. So In case my video will be too late for you then you could still follow the speed wings… at least for the beginning.

Hi Peter, well finally I didn't manage to have the video for the Thermic Wings ready by end of August. But the good news is that the build is now finished. The remaining work will be to finalize the editing of the video which should not take more than 2 weeks from now as I always did some editing in parallel to the build. I hope this will still be ok for your build. What's your current status of your Thermic Wing build? Bye Robert

Hallo Robert , Perfect timing for a complete build!!! I have nearly completed the fuselage . Habr einen schönen Herbst!!! @@bavarian_rc

Thanks Peter, the Thermic Wings go together real nicely but there is a significant portion of additional work compared to the Speed Wings as you have to build inner and outer wing sections.

Very helpful video thankyou. Is there an optimal ratio of thixotropy powder, microballoons and resin ?

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks! I usually mix thixotrophy powder and microballoons 50:50. If I want the resin to stay where I put it and not run away then I add thixo and micro until the resin has a consistency where the little spike that you create when pulling out your mixing stick from the resin is staying as it is and not flowing back. You can see it at 03:51

How you do this with the tape on the bottom site of the wing?

Not sure to catch what you mean. Can you give me the position (time) in the video. I will be happy to answer your question. You can also write in German if you prefer.

[@Rantanplan-0815]

Hi, Thanks for the answer👍. Yes,i must say it direkt what i mean. In german is much easyer for me😅: Ich meine minute 48:43(video). Du klebst das untere klebeband,ohne das ruder ganz um zu klappen. Wie bekommst du das klebeband in den spalt,sodass sich beide seiten berühren? (Ich habe gerade die selbe Prozedur beim flixx😅) Normalerweise lassen sich die ruder ja ganz auf die oberseite umklappen,sodass eine gerade fläche entsteht,wie bei deinen querrudern,dann kann man das band einfach aufkleben. Aber das tesa in einen spalt reindrücken bekomme ich nicht "sauber" hin😅

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, jetzt ist alles klar 👍. Also schon mal vorne weg, das Anscharnieren mit Tesa ist und bleibt eine meiner weniger beliebten Aktivitäten um es mal vorsichtig auszudrücken. 😂 So wie ich das beim Triple Neo Speed gemacht habe, mache ich es heute nicht mehr. Inzwischen mache ich das so, wie es in der FMT Heft 09/2018 beschrieben ist. Wenn Du das Heft nicht hast, dann schicke mir einfach eine Mail and meine Email-Adresse (siehe Kanal-Info / Impressum). Dann kann ich Dir die Info schicken. Eine leicht abgewandelte Version dieser Methode ist in meinem Bauvideo von den Triple Neo Thermic Flächen (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqjYan6Vj56jhNE) zu sehen (1:01:45). Allerdings habe ich dort die 30mm Streifen alle mit der gleichen Orientierung angebracht, also von Oberseite Tragfläche auf Unterseite Querruder. Hier wäre es besser gewesen abwechselnd auch einen Streifen von Unterseite Tragfläche auf Oberseite Querruder anzubringen. Bei meinem letzten Bauvideo vom Maverick (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5TKen9vqb2ir68) sieht man das richtig (1:05:41). Beim Höhenruder bzw. Seitenruder lässt sich diese Methode in gleicher Weise anwenden. Mit etwas Übung funktioniert das recht gut. Ach ja, beim Anbringen des langen durchgehenden Tesastreifen am besten das Ruder leicht auslenken, sonst geht das Ruder später etwas schwer, da der Tesa "spannt". Das sieht man beim Maverick Video bei 1:06:43. Ich hoffe das hilft Dir weiter. Schönen Sonntag noch. Ich werde mich jetzt auch in den Bastelkeller begeben, was soll man sonst bei dem Wetter auch machen... Grüße, Robert

Itt seems as though i have lost the complete string of our questions and answers that we shared, hence i will simply write in the measurements in the numerical order that you had asked. 1. 1.0mm 2. 26.5mm 3. 2.0mm 4. 17.0mm Hoping that this information helps!!! I am having difficulty ordering the Roll-wrapped carbon fibre tube since the site does not translate into English / Italian . Any help would be appreciated.

CORRECTION: 4. 17.4mm

Hi Peter, thx for sending the measures. I will make an adaptation of my new frame design that should fit for your servo. I have also seen that you sent a corrected value for 4. When I am ready I will send you a link to my gdrive to download the STL. Concerning the roll-wrapped carbon tube I contacted the owner of the shop (that I linked in my video description). You can send him an email in English to this address: [e-mail] He is also shipping to Italy (I guess you're from Italy as you were mentioning Italian). Now give me a few days to make the STL design for the servo frame... Greetings from Bavaria

[@bavarian_rc]

OK, that went quicker than I thought. I am not fully trusting the dimensions that I have taken from the Aeronaut website but it is worth a first try. Maybe I should have asked you to measure all dimensions yourself. You can download the STL here: drive.google.com/file/d/1caFB5bnmkaX2z9cBWS7PvestIN6Wr9fQ/view?usp=sharing Let me know if anything needs to be changed. I am a bit worried that there is not so much material between the 2.0mm mounting hole and the servo body (you will see what I mean) but with 26.5 mm distance between the center of the holes and a 23.5mm wide body there is not much left. I made a test print that was quite ok. I printed with 0.20 mm layer height and 25% infill. Weight is below 2g.

Would those be the same as the manufacturer's suggested product? If not, please provide me with details of the servos you have utilized. Thanks!!! On another note...i am working on a project that will have a servo mounted within the figurine of a pilot within the cockpit. The movement & power will be independent from the aircrafts's power supply. Have you had any experience with such a project? I want to keep the weight and size of the servo to a minimum. Since the function is relatively "lightweight": rotation of the pilot's helmet, i am asking for references you may have in mind. Keep up the fine work that you have been producing!!!

Hi, I have already bought the thermic wings for my triple neo and hope to build them during this winter. The build video for these wings will not be available before spring 2023. But the speed wings and the thermic wings are very similar. The servos I used are Graupner DES 428 BB MG. They are not easy to find on the market at the moment. Still an effect of the Graupner insolvency in 2019. Some of their other servo models are back on the market but not the 428. I was lucky that I still had some on stock. Hopefully the 428 will also come back soon. Maybe you can find an alternative with same dimensions. Nice project with the servo animated pilot! I have never done anything like that. Can‘t really help you with ideas there but I think I have seen something like that in some KZbin videos before. Have a great Start into the new week! Bye!

It is strange you needed to saw the nose of the body yourself. This will cause imbalance when it is not done correctly. With the high rpm's of the motor it would damage the motor. Why didn't the manufacturer did it already?

[@bavarian_rc]

It is maybe not so clearly visible in the video. The manufacturer didn’t cut it because you could also build it as a pure glider. But it is not a lot of work to cut the nose. Don’t worry about imbalance, the cut off part is not used as a spinner. The spinner is a separate part that comes fully balanced. I hope this answers you point.

@@bavarian_rc I think he's talking about if you cut the nose off and install the firewall crooked you can have a bad motor thrust line making it fly like crap.

@DaVile Oh yeah I didn't think of that. Actually with the templates they provide in the kit the cutting of the nose and the glueing of the firewall are fairly straight forward and there is little room for mistakes. But I agreed that cutting the nose and fitting the firewall is still not my favourite job on a build :-)

Amazing build. Just one stupid question: it looks like the servo connectors on the fuselage side are wired for 2 servos per side. Is there a plan to use a wing with flaps in the future?

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks, great that you liked it. Well observed, indeed it is wired for 2 servos on each side. The Triple Neo can be combined with 3 different types of wings. The speed version (181cm wing span) which I built, a R.E.S. wing (200cm for the R.E.S. class without ailerons, just rudder, elevator and spoiler) and finally a thermic wing (251cm) with ailerons and spoiler. I already bought the thermic wing kit and will build it this winter. For sure I will also do a build video. There is no option for flaps and I don’t know how well they would work on the Triple. If you are looking for a comparable glider with flaps then have a look at the Helios or Helixx from Aeronaut.

[@thebm0901]

@@bavarian_rc Thanks for the answer. Not sure if I will go for any of those you proposed. I have more things to fly than I would be able to.

[@bavarian_rc]

I started into the hobby when I was a teenager, which was back in the 1980‘s (gosh I‘m getting old). Cutting by hand was just normal. After some years the hobby went into a pause of more than 25 years before restarting. The evolution of the hobby since the late 1980‘s was just amazing. What didn‘t change for me is the fascination of a balsa build. But with laser cut kits this is a completely different level. Last build 18 years ago and still plenty of planes? That could happen to me as well 😂 The thing is that I love building as much as I love flying… Greetings from Bavaria

Thanks for your comment. Sticky tape is a quite simple and efficient way to make hinges. They are quite long lasting and if need be can be easily replaced. There was nothing magic to the CG checking so I didn‘t put it in the video. Basically I assembled the plane before glueing the battery support plate. By moving it forth and back with the battery strapped to it I figured out where to put it to balance without adding weight. I can focus a bit more on this step in my next build video.
