This is perhaps the first time that someone from abroad, moreover from such a distant country, is setting up their own thread on rcmania in the Helicopters – Scale Models section
.
The spreader, which he planned and built himself, works very nicely, it is effective and efficient. It is a completely original project, which in my opinion no one else in the world has such a functional or rather no one at all. Although there are large models, also used industrially in the chemical treatment of crops, there is used spraying, not granular materials - fertilizers. The machines would be too big and heavy, with liquid chemicals it is possible. Align manufactures machines such as the E-1 or Demeter with internal combustion engines and the necessary GPS navigation.
Like Scott, it occurred to me to make a spray system for my model, and so the Helisica ZK-HIP was created. So we are very similar
.
The ZK-HIP is still flying for Helisika, they are based on the North Island of New Zealand, and Scott wants to provide information about my Helisika model.
Scott's Spreader model is based on the operated equipment conceptually, although it is not an exact copy of a specific type, it lacks nothing fundamental. The use of material such as coal ash required the installation of a vibrating motor so that the flow of material downwards did not stop. To get a good understanding of the device, it would be good to put detailed pictures here, maybe Scott will.
I will use some elements in the production of my device completely identically, we want to try to change others with Zdeněk thanks to the use of 3D printing. And try to apply other materials than ash, but we also count on it.
