Bigger Slow Delta RC First Flight

[@bobthompson4918]

You have an amazing talent for building and flying these aircraft. You have inspired my next build. If I can get it as good as this I will be totally satisfied. 😆👍

[@sr71afan]

Albert, the holes in the landing skids were necessary to reduce the side area in front of the CG to keep the plane from swapping ends. Gary

[@weldslag]

Wow, what a flyer! Reminds me of a sting ray in the water by the slow eloquent maneuvering. Does exactly what you tell it to do. Looks like you did everything right with this one! Very inspiring.

[@sr71afan]

I've noticed that some batches of fanfold are a lot wavier than others.There are no "spars" for stiffening. All that external bracing with skewers does the job. And they're cheap! On the bottom of the skids I hot glued some 14" zip ties with the locking heads cut off.

[@scootersdenver]

Masterful! flying! Amazing delta. Thank you for posting.

[@sr71afan]

Thank you Scooters!

[@juliannortheast2271]

Love the shape of this plane and noise

[@dtsmychnl]

It looks beautiful.... Is there any plan?!

[@sr71afan]

Hi Marty, I hot glued 14-inch zip ties (without the locking heads) on the bottom of the skids. They will last longer than the model. Yep; the holes are to reduce area in front of the CG so it won't try to swap ends. I should rename it the "Swiss Cheese Delta". 8-)

[@adityabaghel729]

please can you give me dimensions and some details about components(motor's rating , MAH of battery , propeller size ) you used , actually I am a beginner and don't have enough money for experimental usage ..........lol

[@sr71afan]

As a beginner, perhaps you should try a more traditional model. More info on this model at the end of this video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKS8aaugfs-kaas

[@adityabaghel729]

​@@sr71afan thanks

[@bigjoker4u]

I cant get this model out of my head thanks again. would love to have some still images to build from .

[@sr71afan]

The "latches" are glued to the foam, leaving the smooth surface to slide across the ground.

[@sr71afan]

Sorry Les, I have no plans, but you can scale-up the measurements shown at the end of my video titled "Big Slow Delta RC Indoors". Those measurements are for the 40 inch span. The 48 inch version uses an Exceer RC Rocket Series 2215-1500 which is a 300 watt 480 size motor available at Hobby Partz Dot Com.

[@247ottawa2]

Wow that amazing A1 very good to protect the prop Wow awesome that's a very good design 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍📡😉

[@rayondinanath4536]

Still a big fan of this vid. Thanks again!

[@sr71afan]

Glad You like it!

[@kingelingie]

Very nice. And nice design :). Seems like it flies very well :d

[@av8153]

Another nice design ! I love the Swiss cheese landing skids !

[@Teloexplicojss]

hello i would like you to give me the measurements of that delta wing and the material from which it is made. Thank you

[@TirauHallMayPublicMeeting]

put a link of where we can buy the plans

[@adit1001able]

plans?

[@mickclitheroe8585]

Nice design and great flying, well done !

[@sr71afan]

Thank You!

[@hfe1833]

very nice plane awesome,can you share the drawing or details?

[@michaelwhinnery164]

That just looks fun

[@JDGomezB]

Hey do you have the plans or something? that's small and slow enough to fly it in my backyard and maybe my kids can start learning the basics with it Thanks

[@yakobubaid]

can I have the plan please..

[@JFrazer4303]

Herr Lippisch would love it :-) Lots of low-aspect-ratio and delta planes share elements.

[@cmacneill439]

nice, very nice you make it look easy

[@sr71afan]

+C Macneill Thank you! Easy comes after lots of stick time.

[@adamchess4543]

Excellent design

[@andrededecker6200]

bonjour a tout le monde : quelqu'un pourrait me dire ou se trouve le centre de gravité.j'ai une vive intention de construire cette aile. je vous remercie. hello everyone: someone could tell me where the center of gravity is. I have a strong intention to build this wing. Thank you.

[@sr71afan]

CG is 45% back on the centerline.

[@vista2611]

Enjoy a lot ..Pls advise how to get the plan

[@sr71afan]

I can send photos with measurements of similar model if you provide your email.

[@vista2611]

+sr71afan [e-mail]

[@gisall8205]

Option 1. Buy a kit for $30 to $150. Electronics not included. Build it and hope to works as good as what they show in their advertisements. Option 2. For less than $4 build your own. Brilliant design. great piloting. You definitely got a thumbs up.

[@steelspacecat]

Perfect design

[@anthonyperkins5856]

plans please

[@dr1llb1t8]

do you have plans for this bird. looks like a great flier?

[@ozzzy2000]

Greetings, Does this delta have a kf profile or just a flat sheet of foam with dihedral breaks? regards, OZ

[@sr71afan]

Oz man flat

[@sadekjaffer7433]

hi there ! great job! ..its simply balancing........amaging. !! i just wonder how 700 gms landed so smoothly....!! may i have some idea about your plan nd materials..??can i use my 800 kv for this? what is the prop size? well done man!!

[@rossf5945]

Hi Gary,what have you been up to ? Havent seen you post anything since covid ,hope you are o.k. .

[@DanielGarcia-hp8gt]

Hi was wondering if I could get the plans and materials list?

[@sr71afan]

I'll need your e-mail address.

[@georgenessman4257]

[@baadindyan]

Hey do you know if I can put a pixhawk on this? Any idea on wing loading or speed range of this guy? I need to fly it indoors for an experiment.

[@sr71afan]

+baadindyan Can't see any reason why you couldn't. Wing loading is light; don't have any numbers. Made for slow flight; not very fast. Will fly in a single-court gymnasium.

[@sr71afan]

We modellers are SO innovative! 8-)

[@lwill53951]

what powerplant? plans? please

[@dr.osmangonimbbsmsorthonit5097]

I have been watching this video for last one year.I tried several times to make something like it, but they don't fly smoothly like yours.I would be grateful if you kindly disperse your knowledge and skill.please send me the photos and size in metric.Thanks a lot.

[@bryanobst6271]

Could I get a copy of plans?

[@mudassarbebji835]

plz send me ur measurements of difeerent parts

[@ozzzy2000]

Greetings, Well i couldn't resist any longer, would be of great privilege to obtain the plans if you are willing to share. Regards

[@sr71afan]

I don't have plans, but I could send photos with measurements. Do you prefer metric or SAE? Need your e-mail.

[@ozzzy2000]

sr71afan Greetings, SAE would be fine. [e-mail] Thank you and many regards.

[@cnibble5689]

I'd love imperial photos at [e-mail]. Love the slow flight for parks.

[@chrisdodge65]

@@sr71afan please send me photos with measurements sae? Thanks [e-mail]

[@MrMrtt313]

Great plane and thanks for sharing. Why a puller motor instead of a pusher? Can it be built completely from Dollartree foam? Good videos!

[@sr71afan]

Tractor motor gets better cooling, and I needed the ESC behind the CG when carrying the GoPro in the front.

[@MrMrtt313]

sr71afan and the dollar tree is ok for a 40 incher? I have never used foamboard, blue or pink. Cooling makes sense.

[@sr71afan]

MrMrtt313 Dollar Tree foam will work, but it's heavier, than the fanfold I used.

[@Bobbys-here]

Gary, Another winner! Your the Man :)

[@wordreet]

That is too much fun man! I'll cut out my copied version of the airframe tonight. (It's only .... ten thrity seven! Maybe I can even finish the glueing too!

[@wordreet]

It's going to be a 30" one sheet plane as I have 30x40 inch x 6mm foam.

[@sr71afan]

wordreet My first one was 30" span. Awesome flier!

[@wordreet]

Ah. Mines in pieces right now. :¬( LoL!

[@ozzzy2000]

Greetings, I've noticed you mount the motor at mid ship. Is this the preferred way or is front motor mounting acceptable?

[@sr71afan]

+Oz man Just personal preference. On the front should be fine.

[@ozzzy2000]

+sr71afan Thanks for the fast response! Love the Delta wing design.

[@ozzzy2000]

Greetings, Is it me or does the span of the wing show a bit of an angle? nice delta btw Regards

[@sr71afan]

Oz man There are two dihedral breaks to make the model hands-off stable.

[@Lucar30260]

why put the battery left ?

[@sr71afan]

ESC out on the right past prop slot... to balance left and right.

[@sr71afan]

Oops it's an Exceed RC, not Exceer. 8-(

[@robflyrc]

It is amazing :)

[@rlachermeier]

Love this design.

[@raj261166]

Its 480 Heli Motor ?

[@sr71afan]

No, only about 1400kv. Been so long ago, I forgot. Maybe 1500kv.

[@GioBen68]

Great plane. I have put it on my todo list! Will have a swiss cheese flying in the swiss alps ;-)

[@sr71afan]

LOL Have fun!

[@mikengo100]

It is very good. Can you let me know weight total ?

[@sr71afan]

+Mike Ngo 24 ounces.. 681 grams with 3S 2200 LiPo.

[@branislavkorosic8917]

moze li se kupiti vas model i kolika je cijena, pozdrav, bane.

[@sr71afan]

Ne, ovaj model nije za prodaju. No, this model is not for sale.

[@bessybessy]

Gosp Bane to su sve rucni radovi. Imam jedan gotov ali ne tako spor. Uskoro ce bit jedan jednako spor kao ovaj u videu pa cemo vam dati da ga upravljate preko ucenicke stanice.

[@bessybessy]

Mr. Afan, I'm working a slow plane for Mr Branko. We'll give him a channel (rudder) on the student controller and he'll be happy. (He is 85 )

[@sr71afan]

Yep: I might have to keep this one. 8-)

[@dr.osmangonimbbsmsorthonit5097]

amazing rc...nicr creation

[@sr71afan]

Thank you!

[@dr.osmangonimbbsmsorthonit5097]

It's one of the best deltas I've ever seen.it's well balanced..

[@karoma7898]

I did NOT know wings can fly this slow

[@sr71afan]

Because of the light wing-loading; lots of area, and low weight.

[@anthonyperkins5856]

that is crazy!!

[@vista2611]

I sent my email and yet not receive any plan

[@sr71afan]

+Reza Mohit I sent photos/measurements to [e-mail]

[@sr71afan]

I have some photos of a smaller version with measurements you could scale up. PM me with your e-mail address.

[@surjitsinghdeo6533]

Hi , could you send the measurements on [e-mail] please

[@projectbradley]

Nice

[@jakecrist6389]

YA HAVE ANY PLANS GOOD JOB

[@Blackbird8023]

Very nice work. Love the aircraft. Currently making something similar. Hope it turns out half as fun as yours.

[@sr71afan]

Thanks! Have fun.
