12/15/2025 - ATTENTION EVERONE

So after consulting with some of my friends and some admins ,ive finally reached to this point that i'll post journals about only those steps and hrs looged after i joined the blueprint.And i'm doing this only because of Honesty.

REGARDS😑😑😑

12/16/2025 3:26 PM - ADDING LANDING FRONT LANDING gear and improving the FUSELAGE

After i joined the bueprint i had already made the nose sec fuselage to a much largerextent .
IN this journal im gonna talk about the landing gears .

THE PROCESS:-

                So ,for a sample of front landing gear i downloaded a 3d cad model of one from **Grab cad** imported it in the file ,adjusted it to the size i was requiring .

For holding the gear in the position i had to make a section in the nose sec with slots and a base where i had to fix the gear with screws . the section where the landing geear sits looks like an arrow head though .the sec tion is split in half to open while deploying the landing gear .

Now about improving fuselage.
The improvement i did in the fuselage is the intake and the trailing edge that was goin way to steep .SO for smoothening the elevation i edited the frame sections with increasing the heights of the base in away that makes the elevation smooth .The problem with the intake was that it was supporting the duct type i had chosen for the design .So i lowered the upper edge a bit a more and tilted it to few points down .Similarly with lower edge i elevated a bit and tilted it to that extent that it macthes the upper dege perfectly.

12/16/2025 3:45 PM - Adding AEROFOILS FOR THE WINGS ,ALOS THE SPARS AND RIBS

Its time to talk about the aerofoils ive addedd for designing the Wing
And using loft tool for sketching out the surface skin for further utting the the spars and the ribs

THE PROCESS:-

                  IN this process ive took help of ai just for making me AERO dat file of the aerofoils ,After prompting copilot for making me root and tip setions i imported them in the the file 

edited the individual section
So the combo of the aerofoils is a supersonic supportive and a bit weight lifting capability .
With spars and ribs making a triangle shape for suppressing the stress it'll face .
And for cutting out the ris and spars ive jsut made a patch made rectangular pattern with almost 9 ribs and spars sitting in the wing for support .
THE wings have a span of 92.3 cm ** swept back at aggresive angle of *45 degrees * with each wing having an impressive area of *1.85x10^5 mm2 * or **856 cm2

12/17/2025 1:35 PM - Added the Stabilators

Added the stabilators,
What are stabilators?Well stabilators are horizontal tails that can tilt up and down instead of a small part that provides pitch and dive .Stabilators allow more control area for pitching up and down and decrease the threat of drag.

### THE PROCESS:-
AFter finishing the wings and cutting out the flaps and ailerons my next goal was to add the stabilators.So opened the another sketched sketched a line parallel to the sideways trailing edge (right side)so that the stabilator can be eaily positioned without giving out sharp edges of fuselage .So yes the stab is a swept back profile a bit similar to the one of f16 and yes its tilted downwards making anhederal profile which increases moblity but also increase instability of the plane .
Used loft tool for carving out the skin and for cutting the spars and ribs for support .
The reason of placing spars and ribs is to allow the turning rod to easily lok into the stab and provide some sort of support .

And done

12/17/2025 1:45 PM - Added the vertical tail

well i added the tail ,but dont think it looks gud for my type of model

THE PROCESS:-

              First of all sketched out the base for the tail as i wanted to make one similar to the f16s .Used the basic sections that i used to carve out the nose and the fuselage.used them as a primary tool .Added the base perfectly and sketched out the tail skin ,after carving it out by using loft tool

i looked at it from the right side it was looking awesome but just as soon as i shifted to front face
all of the happiness went away after seeing that ,lol
It was looking funny and not even slighty suitable for the jet so I planned to delete it ,yes delete it 😥 it was kinda hard after spending that much time sketching it ,but whatever

12/17/2025 2:09 PM - Added the new tails

After removing the old tail i stepped towards double tilted tails
the double tails have an advantage over the single one ,they allow better air flow ,give more control surface and dont need to be tall can be short,

THE PROCESS:-

                 so I took the idea of su57 f35 and f22 for sketching this tail .

Having 20 cm long base these tails are swept back at an aggressive angle of 50-55 degrees
standing almost *16 cm tall *
so the for starting i opened sketch panel .chose the curved line tool drew two curved lines made an aerofoil type configuration for better air flow and less drag connected the base with tip with two staright lines ,finished the sketch and for carving out the skin again used the loft tool
got the skin ,placed two simple patches ,splitted 'em using the split body tool got two nice and smooth spars for giving the necessary support

And done

12/17/2025 2:19 PM - Added the air duct

Now after finalizing every surface it was time to add the duct
That directs the air flow

THE PROCESS:-

                For my project i chose the **S-duct** just for studying started with broken sketches 

drawing every rectangle and circle on every basic sketch ,shifting them up ,down right ,left every where
to perfectly adjust the duct to the max limit i could ,after finalizing the rectangles i chose the curved line tool connected every rectangle by every corner And closed the fusion Cuz the time then was goin 11:59 pm and i had to rest so completed half of the task .Next morning opened the fusion and started from where i left ,finalized the lines connecting them path .
And opened the loft tool surfaced every face and got this

Asked copilot for analysis ,did my own one too.
Got a positive result now heading towards ending this project.
ive entered 12 hrs cuz this journal is based on two days with 6hrs both.

12/17/2025 2:23 PM - Importing few electronics into the file

After completing the duct it was time to head towards real time precison fitting of the electronics ,like servos edf and other

So for these i searched through the grab cad web ,found perfect models and downloaded em
btw this is one of my art work

12/17/2025 3 PM - Starting work on eletronics And mechanisms

So this journal is written on present time

THE PROCESS:-

                Imported all the electronics including 

• 80 mm EDF.
• Sg-90 180 degree rotating servo
• pitot tube .Actually for measuring the speed . Started with edf ,grabbed it and placed it into the place where it was supposed to be and to my happiness the edf fitted acuratetly where it was supposed to sit. Grabbed the servo for inserting or adding the turning mechanism of the stab . added a 3mm rod (supposed to be carbon fibre rod) added a support where it was gonna slide into the bearing for easy rotating placed the servo at a bit distance from the rod ,made a hinge type module for putting in the steel rod that is used to turn the hinge mounted on the rod which in turn rotates the rod ,effectively rotating the stabilator , the mechanism had been added to both stabs A cutaway look is below

THE WORKING:-

                 ![Screenshot (239)](https://blueprint.hackclub.com/user-attachments/blobs/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjkyMDcsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--38287a1e6c86c8abb0c915e1d076a0026647d227/Screenshot%20(239).png)as u can see in the pic ,the servo is mounted a bit far from the stabs rod and has a steel rod connected to a hinge mounted on the rod .

as the servos main hinge rotates it rotates the hinge on the rod too simultaneously ,and makes the stab
rotate up and down providing picth up and down controls.

For ailerons and flaps:-
here as u can see in the img two servos are mounted on each wing ,with one for flaps and one for aileron
so the mechnism is simple the servo rotates the flaps rotate .providin banking controls

12/19/2025 - All finished

                                          ### **THE END**

WELL AFTER MANY HARDSHIPS AND DIFFICULT LEVELS OF DESIGNING ,I HERE BY ANNOUNCE THE END OF THE DESIGNING PHASE OF THE *X-26 GREYWOLF PT-1 *
I HOPE Y'ALL GUYS LIKED IT.
REGARDS
WOLF LEAD OUT!

12/26/2025 - Decicded to add some on-board

So as a reviewer said ,to qualify for tier 1 project im gonna add some electronic systems
The ideas tht im working on are:-

• .A combo of a Tx and Rx , tht collects info of the plane like Altitude,speed,and location. Sends it back to the ground where the receiver collects it back and shows it on the display . also allows to show the location on google map.

Here is a refined form of the idea ,also gpt hepled me in collecting some info abt this stuff
NOTE:-😑this image is not tht much refined and may pprovide some premade stuff its for idea only'

12/28/2025 - Finished the pcb of Transmitter module

THE COMPONENTS:-

                  - .ESP32 devkit
                  - .MAX-M10s
                  - SX1278.

WORKING:-

               The **MAX-M10s** collects the info of the plane .like the current location ,speed and altitude of the plane .Sends it to the **ESP** ,where it encodes it converts the and sends to **SX1278** which amplifies the signals for long range transmition.

Here is a pic of the Scematic diagram of the pcb and connections .

1/2/2026 11:00 PM - Finalizing the Transmitter pcb

Finalized the connections of the chips ,tht are SX1278 lora chip ,AN esp32 devkit board ,and MAX_M10s gps module .
The last schematic included some issues in the RF part ,
The path tht i made was pretty nonsense one and not according to the reference design ,which it should have been so replaced mine path with the one from reference design ,cross checked all of the pins connections. And finally ended the transmitting part of the project.

1/2/2026 11:19 PM - Added the voltage regulator to the borad for extra safety

Added a 5v to 3.3v regulator to the transmitter module for extra safety ........................................................................................

1/11/2026 - made net labeled tranmsitter boards schematic

So for reviewers ease i made the schematic with net lables ,putting tags of each taret pin in fornt of the reciver pin , with each chip seprated , i didnt did tht for the rf switch cuz it only requires RFI_LF and RFO_LF and buch of capacitors and henry inductors ,following is a ss of the schematic

1/17/2026 - Reciver board half done

COmpleted the reciver part of the spotter board ,(display remains).
so its gonna get the signals form the transmiter part , decode em and show all the info on the oled screen.
With a triangular minimap on right bottom corner showing the location of the plane . and distance from the controlling person.
WEll the reciver is supposed to be like the one in TOP GUN:MAVERICK ,where darkstars info is being displayed. But not same like it .
The display is like ,with the wolf in mid alt,speed n one side of display and a triangular minimap on other side bottom.
The board will use an esp32-devit-m1 board an SX1278 lorachip for recieving the signals .and an 320×480 (ILI9488) or 240×320 (ILI9341) oled display for showing the info ,the schematic looks like following

1/19/2026 - Converted the transmitter board to pcb

so for converting the schematic to a pcb ,first of all i requested my few of friends to do that for me as I was facing a lot of difficult in doing that ,but they had exams coming up or currently going on so ,I decided to make it on my own ,
so i opened the pcb editor ,updated the pcb from schematic , returned to the schematic after detecting missing footprints ,assigned the missing footprints to their respective components , again returned to the pcb editor did the same , i repeated these two steps untill i got no error on footprint not found so i placed all of the components in their right places . routed em ,discovered the vias option for routing wires going under the other , made the pcb ,finalized it ,and did the thing tht was appreaing most hard to me . also the board appears to be like a space craft lol 😂!

Transmitter board

1/21/2026 - Completed the receiver boards schematics

So recently ive completed the schematics part of the receiver board ,comprising of and
esp32 devkitm1 module
lora SX1278
2 ILI9341 320x240 display screens

heres the last final netlabeled schematic of the receiver board
Ah,it'has some pins uncontested like the XTA and XTB ,I'll update em in next schematic and upload em

1/25/2026 - completed the Receiver pcb

SO i've completed the Receiver boards pcb ,genrated gerber and drill files
The board components are described earlier. so ill explain the finalized planned working of the board
Working
so the reciver catches the signals from the transmitter , decodes 'em to electrical signals ,shows the info like speed ,altitude of the plane ,with a borderless triangular minimap in right bottom corner ,showing the location and co-ordinates of the plane on the minimap.on two ILI9341 tft displays .
the pcb looks like this the gerber view is like this

1/26/2026 - STARTED WORK ON RADAR

WELL DID SOMEWHAT WORK ON THE NOSE RADAR BOARD ,IT USES
A RADAR MODULE (WHICH IVE NOT STILL DECIDED)
AN ESP32 DEVKIT M1 FOR READING AND COMPLINIG RADARS Data
A LORA SX1278 ,FOR TRANSMITTING DATA TO GROND STATION
,
well im making it as a backup plan if the project doesnt quilfy as a tier1 project
also ive did some schematics work for it
