Finally the answer to "What do Brits do when it's raining". We have 55" of rain/year where I live. You're giving me ideas.

Totally correct! The indoor season starts in earnest in a couple of month time.... it's a great format for trying out concepts quickly and simply.

That's not soring it has an electric motor. If you can't launch by hand and have your model stay in the air, it's too heavy!

@miniphase, this is another amazing build of yours ... I know you are a fun of nurflugel or flying wing gliders - not sure how to call them but they are the once with a constant wing chord and wingspan more than 2m. I am now along a build of one of this type of 1.9m wingspan. But, I would like to ask you if I would look for a next project 2-2.5m wingspan and willing to design/build a similar to Horten or even a Horten wing, what would you recommend I should look for?

@@miniphase In the end I decided to build a similar CO8 (from aerodesign_de ) that is scaled down to 1.9m span ( max of my bench without joining wing parts ), 187mm chord a 25deg sweep back and MH60 airfoil. I also added a motor in front . I tried a maiden yesterday but it did not went well. I set CG at 10% of MAC but it behaves like it is really tail heavy. Also motor I installed tilted down 3 deg but I will have to tilt it more. Can you please help, tell what is you CG location on your wings? The motor is 10-12mm below chord line and at 90mm from wing leading edge , can you suggest what should be a correct tit angle? Thanks

So a plank with ailerons and a V tail. I wonder if it could fly with just the V tail? It has enough dihedral to do a rudder only turn.

@miniphase 10 ай бұрын

I wondered that too.... also it's got my itch increasing to do a big pterodactyl or similar!

@lizhikai5587 4 ай бұрын

It could, because the dihedral of the wintip is enough. There's a no-aileron version. And... If you wish, you can change the mounting angle of the motor so it gives a 2-channel model like feeling. Add throttle, it would climb without elevator control and vice versa. More relaxing.

Hi, I know you make foam core wings. Can you please explain how you build the washout in the foam core and sheeting? You may have a build thread on RCU or RCGroups it would be much appreciated if you could share.

@miniphase Жыл бұрын

Hi Cristian, good to hear from you. I just cut the cores with one of the aerofoil templates set at the required angle. When I sheet the wing, I place vacuum bagged layup back in the core outers, to prevent any unwanted twist to creep in as the resin cures.

@mikesrcgarage Жыл бұрын

Hi I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on this comment but it looks like you have some experience with flying wings. I just built a flying wing or plank for slope soaring, it is a wing with no dihedral and is full symmetrical with a very slight swept forward LE. It is repurposed wing from a 3DHS Slick 540 3D plane. I have shorts video of it on my channel. My question is how to tell if the CG is right before throwing it off a cliff into the wind? Lol! I have hand tossed it at a park to see if it flies and I would not call what it does as flying! Although I can control it and bring it down but it really has no glide ratio but this is with no wind. I watched a video of yours about hyperstalling and it seems how that wing flew is what I'm experiencing. It seems to bob up and down very easily. How did you remedy your wing/plank to stop that effect? Thank you!

@miniphase Жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, the best approach is to use one of the online cg calculators as a starting point and then make any adjustments in small increments. Also make sure you don't have too much elevator throw.... best of luck!

@@miniphase Thank you. Just the answer I was hoping for. Looks fantastic. Do you use any dihedreal? What is your opinion on wing taper?

@miniphase Жыл бұрын

@@MrRobbowich Many thanks! This wing had a couple of degrees negative dihedral, but I don't think that's critical for success. At full size scale, taper does have benefits, but for a model I don't think there's any advantage. By reducing the chord at the tip, you just have to introduce more twist to get the same stability. There's a full build thread here- www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1480107-3-2m-thermal-wing though I would suggest using the HS522 wing section rather than the MH45.

@turboromy Жыл бұрын

Awesome, flaps work like a brake. Just curious if you have tested or does it even make sense to use all surfaces down as flaps. I doubt it would work at all.

@miniphase Жыл бұрын

If the flaps were sized differently, yes you could have this arrangement, though I think pitch neutral flaps (as shown here) makes the transition between 'flaps on' and 'flaps off' more convenient.
