RC Enterprise-D History
The foam RC Enterprise-D was designed by SGTalon, which is his RCGroups screen name. He is well known on RCGroups for his spaceship designs from his “Summer of Space Series”. Ships from Star Trek, Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica are just some of the outstanding flying RC planes he has designed! Well if there is one thing I like as much as WW2 aviation, its SiFi!
And is this plane ever cool! When I discovered this kit on RCGroups, they were hand painting these craft and were doing a great job at it. Coming from an art background I could really appreciate the work and talent involved. However airbrush was never "my media” so to speak.
My background is in color production printing systems, workflow, operations and graphic design. So with that, I did the one thing I could think of doing.
I started to design decals and full coverings (which I called skins) for SGTalons Enterprise D in Adobe Illustrator. At first I used a downloaded “engineering drawing” of the Enterprise D as my guide. When Talons plans became available, I started to design specifically for them.
This kept the weight down to the point that the center of gravity can be corrected buy just increasing the battery size from a 1300 mAh 3S to an 1800 mAh. They look and fly awesome!
