<h1>Multiplex Easy Glider Nose-Cam-FPV conversion Kit with 2 Engines</h1> Love the Multiplex EasyGlider for his easy flight characteristics. Ideal RC Airplane to fly Wing FPV. But with propeller at the nose, you always watch through the spinning propeller with anoying artefacts in your view. So i decided (after some hard landings and deformed nose) to cut off the nose behind the motor, convert the easyglider to a 2-engine-FPV-Trainer: Nose replacement with internal Cam-Holder Cam: 22,5mm x 22.5mm case and 17.5mm diameter lense Wing Motor Mount for any FPV Multicopter Motor with 16mm ore 18mm diameter mounts. like this one: https://sunnyskyusa.com/collections/r-motors/products/sunnysky-r2205-brushless-motors There is a ESC cut out to tape the ESC directly under the mount with minimal motor-cable length printed in PETG for better crash and temperature resistance (motor up to 80°C) <h1> This kit converts your Multiplex Easyglider into a high performance 2-Engine FPV Aircraft with top-nose-mounted cam and perfect view. </h1> <ul> <li>No more propeller artefacts in video</li> <li>double power (vertical cruise... :))</li> <li>cheap 5-zoll drone parts</li> <li>Great FPV-wing-fun, easy to build, great flying, amazing undistracted FPV view</li> </ul> My beloved Easygilder experieced some hard landings in the past and over time the nose with the engine got seriously deformed. This is why I decided to cut the propeller/motor area and replace with a 3d printed fuselage replacement with camera mount. Camera is positioned in optimal way, perfect undisctracted view, no propeller in view, safely positioned inside the fuselage. The 2 Engines are now placed onto the wing and the nacelle fits perfectly to the easyglider wing. The 2 Drone Motors produce more than enough power to lift the Easyglider straight up to the sky which makes acrobatic manouvers easy and even the start. To free up space in the fuselage i moved the Rudder and Elevator Servos to the Fuselage Tail To archive optimal Center of Gravity position I placed the 3s 2200mAh Lipo in the printed nose. The nacelle is designed with 0° throttle-line pitch, this results in some nose up moment while accelerating. compensate the pitch moment with a throttle-elevator mix in your remote control. a possible update in the future will be a -2 or -3° pitch line design to compensate the nose up moment in the nacelle design but as the moment heavly depends on your motor, MTOW and other parameters, i guess a 0° design is a good start for the FPV Easy Glider anyway <h1>You need:</h1> 2x 2205 2300KV Drone Motors (or similar Motors with 16mm/18mm mounts) i.e. https://sunnyskyusa.com/products/sunnysky-r2205-brushless-motors 2x ESC (30A or similar) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001859527275.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.736a85d24F9aof&algo_pvid=08b70406-92fd-4e55-9485-c1b98573a6f9&algo_exp_id=08b70406-92fd-4e55-9485-c1b98573a6f9-10 2x 5 Zoll Drone Propeller 1x BEC DC DC Step Down for Reciever/Servo Power I used a LM2596 DC DC power supply module https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32810221195.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.e3084ea3FkAnCX&aem_p4p_detail=202107150140171145885803807500035380293 1x FPV Cam, 21,5mm case fits perfect in Nose-Section, but any other cam and some hot glue will work as well https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32820081956.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1776282bk0HE05&algo_pvid=b76023fa-9218-4c00-8e44-6c0dc0f6f98e&algo_exp_id=b76023fa-9218-4c00-8e44-6c0dc0f6f98e-2 or something like the Razor Mini: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32820081956.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.26d441c1TuOM5y&algo_pvid=389d16a7-b540-4a61-b764-aa2750978f3d&algo_exp_id=389d16a7-b540-4a61-b764-aa2750978f3d-17 <h1>Build:</h1> 1. Print fuselage - cut Nose 2. Print Nacelle - mount engine 3. mount Camera 4. prepare cables and BEC 5. Attention: Check Center of Gravity before flying! 6. add some % nose down to throttle in your mixer 7. enjoy flying
