Congratulations to Hope on the award! R.O.W. planes are so graceful. Maybe the aerodynamic profile of these foam floats actually helps to turn that early tendency to stall into that 'sit up and beg for lift' attitude.. I mean, the drag they provide may prevent the full blown stall developing, when the power is ramped up a bit.. Hoping y'all enjoyed the rest of the competition. 👍

Thanks! I think the main factor for Hope's plane has been the great airfoil and very high powered, large propeller. The floats do add some lift and as such make the trim setup rather interesting. I suspect next year with some minor trim changes, this model will have an extremely strong climb pattern. We need to get the glide circle sorted first though because it's tending to wander out of thermals.

Thanks! We skinned the floats with 0.6mil bopp laminating film. Very light, and impervious to water.

Bob, if you're on Facebook I can connect you with a freeflighter in NZ who should be able to help you get supplies. If not on FB, send me an email at joshuawfinn@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do about getting you connected with the right people.

Great video! Will you be at the thermal thumpers event at the sod farm this weekend? I'd love to see your Smoothie. I have dreams of building one of those and trying to add some newer building techniques / high tech materials.
@joshuawfinn
@joshuawfinn 2 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I usually only make it to one meet a year at Whitesburg, but we do fly fairly regularly at the Perry fairgrounds, which frankly is a better field with better retrieval options. Unfortunately the Smoothie is out of service. The motor blew up in flight a number of years ago and trashed the fuselage.

I’ve been wanting to ask this question for a while. How do you do it? How do you get such great looking and flying models right off the bat and almost no trimming needed? (for most of them). Is it more of a patience or skill thing? I’ve always wondered.
@joshuawfinn
@joshuawfinn 2 жыл бұрын
I spend a fair bit of time making sure the planes are built (and covered) straight, smooth, and with the correct warps. I also set my CG based on Don Deloach's tail volume method so that I can focus on a specific strategy of adjusting the plane without having to juggle both CG and incidence adjustments. For indoor flying, it's mainly about warp control since the planes are usually able to operate over a wide CG range.
