Ked maybe a sweep or a delta.

[@abates3747]

@@CJ-jh9ri , sweeping and delta would increase pitch stability, but Ked's talking about the airfoil... basic folded slab foam is draggy

[@sparrowlt]

agreed.. its a flat bottom airfoil.. basically an old clark-Y like and those are good for lift but not for speed..it needs a thin semisimetrical airfoil

There is a guy that hit 160+ with the Strix Nano Goblin, what the FT Goblin was designed to mimic.

[@coolthingswithrob]

I just found your channel....wow! I would describe your whole team and flight/video skills as a "brilliant riot". What strikes me is that I've been into R/C planes since the early 1970s (yes, I can't believe I'm that old either...). Back then - everything was gas, and very expensive. Now with electric power and foam materials (vs balsa) it's incredible what you guys are doing. I've been on R/C hiatus for like 10 years now - but you guys are inspiring me to get back into it. Keep it up!

[@angelofmusic477]

Thank you for sharing. I built many corrugated plastic aircraft with proper airfoil. My suggestion is a delta wing shape with a single vertical fin as oppose to twin fins. The delta wing with tapered chords and single verticals fin and narrow cigar shape fuselage will reduce the drag factor significantly. My 2 cents.

For better radar returns, put a metal corner reflector behind the nose cap on the airplane. Should increase the reflectivity significantly.

This is great, Im doing a FT spitfire 1080mm build and putting twin 2212 2200kv motors on it.id love to see you guys build a twin engine warbird.my brother has been telling me how his drone is so fast looking at 40mph flybys so I was hoping to get my build into the 80-100 mph range but I’m not the best at estimating how fast a certain planes limitations are, I find out the physical way

[@craigw1379]

101mph with plastic spoons holding things together! Bahahaaaa I feel like I’ve found my tribe..

[@EuanTodd]

No the spoons dont do anything structural, they are acting as air scoops to promote better airflow to the prop by decreasing the turbulence in front of the prop + bonus airflow with the coanda effect.

[@mark675]

@@EuanTodd you been watching tom stanton? Lol

[@rcbinchicken]

@@EuanTodd Hmmm, not quite. From what they're saying in the video, it's more to keep air flowing over the *motor*, to keep it from overheating. The net effect on the prop will actually be a negative one as it will create a bit more turbulence through the blade disc, though the tradeoff is clearly worth it given they didn't fry a second motor. Coanda effect would be if, instead of the spoons, they'd just smoothed the rear fuselage gradually down to a smaller diameter, which the air would then follow.

[@azgarogly]

@@EuanTodd it is fun how you throw in random aerodynamics terms into your comment

[@EuanTodd]

@@azgarogly I mean the first part was how I interpreted why they added the spoons (the less turbulence infront of the prop the more thrust and the less the motor has to work) + the bonus bit was preety much just reference to tom Stanton who just made a quadcopter that uses the effect.

[@johnmark9421]

Perhaps you guys should set up a sheet of poly carbonate sheeting to stand behind with the radar gun when taking these speed readings.

[@loddude5706]

Smooth out the leading & trailing edges, a touch of wax (prop too) & a good buff, you should have your speed : )

[@charleslittle458]

7.40 ......that chair.......prop your sponsor. ..... cool chair

[@MrCarmenator8]

Suggestion, could be fun. To test the aerodynamics of your builds could you try building a mini wind tunnel? Pulling the air thru the tunnel with a few large fans. Viewing glass and a little smoke tool to visually see the forces

[@countdown_ok]

Next time give Stephan a knight armor. Like a metal suit.

[@_tyrannus]

If that's the 4.1x4.1 APC prop like I picked on my Nano Goblin, it's going to stall and only produce something like a third of the thrust until you get it up to ~30-40km/h after which it gets a grip and rockets away!

[@zaclee8525]

you should make more vr plane thing just like this one or make another video of the A10 warthog bb gun fight

[@jonathancopley2041]

You guys should make a bf-109 messershmitt with a whistling sound on it so when it dives down it makes that famous noise of a dive bombing bf 109

[@coolmountaineer]

Cutting some holes off the motor mount and get some air flowing through the fuselage should prevent it from happening. Cool video!

[@FLY_WD_RAGHIL]

You two devils almost killed stephen 😂😂😂

[@DaanBrandt]

maybe add a airspeed indicator and make adaptive steering linearity for this to counter the very sensitive steering input at high speeds.

[@justinromang9113]

You know, like those tracking Base Stations for fpv - Why not build one, in order to track the airiel vehicle with the Speed Gun. No more endangering people, or does Stephan not count as one 🤣❤️ ..

[@aaaaaaaaaassssssssdf]

that's some crazy speed on a budget. I've been experimenting with using a monokote iron to flatten the edges of foamboard, it kinda melts and squishes a bit if you get the temp right and i think you can make a more aerodynamic plane out of it for some high speed runs like this...

[@joshuawfinn]

That's what I'm doing. Best so far is 143 mph. Check out the videos on my channel. :)

[@aaaaaaaaaassssssssdf]

@@joshuawfinn very nice. I like that style of plane since seeing the really fast carbon fiber ones, but those are obviously a little expensive

[@joshuawfinn]

@@aaaaaaaaaassssssssdf Yup! And it's my personal mission to find a way to hit 200 mph with foamboard. So far I have burned up a lot of motors, escs, servos, etc. Some crazy stuff, and the power systems are getting progressively more expensive. Spending $135 on a prop and then losing it in a midair was particularly painful!

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Do remember that was a near stock spitfire, all foam, and subsequently nearly disintegrated in the air after its second pack. This Goblin has tons more weight with its ply sub phrame. If a stock Goblin they probably could have hit 120 easy, and destroy the phrame.

[@calebyoung1018]

@@air-headedaviator1805 the spitfire had a better speed airfoil. The goblins airfoil is too thick and unsymmetrical. The camber airfoil on the goblin is good for lift but not for speed

[@nickcarophotography]

Great video as always FT, but why-oh-why is the exposure of the camera shooting all the external stuff so under-exposed?!?!?

I wonder if you modified the ft goblin to be narrower at the back you'd get more efficiency from the propeller. Maybe that would help you gain that extra speed
