Draken Maiden! Amazing!

behold the DRAKEN!

[@hechodecaca]

EPIC! we need a printable Su-27/37!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Make some slits or other type openings in the bottom of the plane to allow more intake volume. Maybe even a large opening with a mesh to hide it? I wouldn't open up the inlets any more than you have or else you'll lose that Draken look. Great work and video.

[@lewiemotorsports3616]

That thing flys good as hell!! It also looks easy to print despite having to do surgery on it

[@dennismatovich8411]

great job! I was thinking move the servo pockets back a little to c/g a 1500 battery.

[@dr.gernotwehsner9662]

Really great 👍👍 To solve the intake volume problem, I would either scale it up until the area fits to the 50mm fan or easier try to use a 40mm fan, I think the trust should be enough... 😉👍 I really love your videos ☺️

[@rudkratz3907]

Wow wat a beauty!!! Cant you put a Naca ram air intake extra in the belly… Or make the plane totally bigger? Love your channel

[@saberwulfSC]

Great build! Love it! Will be buying the files upon release . Game changer😉

[@kenternfridsson6527]

Amazing. Draken is my childhood. We had an airbase just outside town and Draken was the first supersonic plane. No restrictions then and load bangs were often heard. Windows sounded near to crack and I think it happened sometimes. 😂

[@hotlapkyle]

Very cool! What a beautiful plane right

[@shawndubay4050]

You are an awesome aircraft builder. I would love to see you build a fighter of your choice. Seven foot Wingspan and a kerosene burning turbine. I believe you could do it. Just build it strong and would have to figure something out for the heat inside the fuselage. But I think it would be the finest built RC jet out there. One thing for sure she would be fast.

[@bushhawkrc3223]

yes yes we're looking we're looking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 well done thou man, looks fantastic

[@hotlapkyle]

Haha 🤣

[@dl5672]

add thrust vectoring - will add weight aft too..

[@peterboy209]

Classic Elegance 👍

Here is a challenge for you: F-104 Starfighter!

[@mr.taylor711]

There's a version of the Starfighter on 3dlabprint which is very scale. Flies great.

[@rudolfarenstorff3326]

Cool plane , I will def. buy it. Why not place the servos more back ?

[@hotlapkyle]

Thickness in the wing. When you get too close to the opposing surface the print. May fail or show a hole

[@dl5672]

@@hotlapkyle let them stick out more.... no problem

HOLY COW MAN!!!!!! This is INCREDIBLE!!!!! It looks AMAZING and flies EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!😍😍

now the little brother saab 210

[@MrMindaSchmit]

oh man were do i begin. this plane looks so incredible!! please release the STL's because i will be dying for a rc Draken

[@hotlapkyle]

I’m sending V2 off to the printer. Should be available by the weekend 👍🏻

[@dbtest117]

You could probably run this from a even smaller fan.

[@hotlapkyle]

Needs every oz of thrust I get get

[@madera412]

I love it. I'll be a beta flyer if needed!

[@maverick6606]

That's something!!! An awesome looking plane with awesome flight characteristics.Once it is refined, I surely have to buy the files! ;-) About the intakes: Why not leave the intakes scale but make some cheater holes in the belly? I have so many 50mm EDFs and a lot have cheater holes, but it never bothered me, but the flying silhouette looks freaking awesome scale... If you really need a challenge in the future, why not try to make an F5E Tiger II 50mm EDF??? ;-)

[@TecraTube]

it needs more electricity

[@ssur44]

Nice design and great flying plane. One question. Isn`t removing weight from the tail making it nose heavy instead of tail heavy?

[@MrMagoo321]

You're on it Kyle everything you said should improve it. More intake and exhaust then just make a note of the cg on that last flight ✈️✈️✈️. Love the high alpha and overall forgiving performance along with high performance you are getting.

[@hotlapkyle]

It’s shocking how natural this airframe feels

[@dbtest117]

Set up a battery telemetry system so you don't need to be afraid to kill your batteries. Could have a watt meter based upon consumed current and voltage, or just a simple volt meter. I haven't yet made a consumed watt meter but got the parts. Not flied for some years now, but I have a voltage measurement telemetry so my radio speaks the voltage to me when it goes below a certain value.

[@hotlapkyle]

I know I’m too lazy to set it up. I haven have the hardware

[@malakiblunt]

swept wings act as dihederal - but im still impressed it doesnt wing rock

[@GoosebumpRacing]

Nice! Will she be able to do the cobra maneuver? 😁

[@hotlapkyle]

@@GoosebumpRacing absolutely 👍🏻

Is that a battery in your pocket or are you just happy to fly me?

So, you finally made it anyway.

Man you are killing it

Sweet.

Draken means Dragon in Swedish.

[@michalvantroba4357]

Grippen next?

[@hotlapkyle]

I made a wonderful flying 64mm Gripen, i will revisit it

[@Dhouston1125]

@@hotlapkyle with trust vectoring please

[@akaFrits1]

For the CG: isn’t moving the fan a little backwards an option?

[@hotlapkyle]

I wish! It’s as far back as I could make it before it would be too close to the tail pipe. The galaxy 50mm fan is super light weight and the Draken airframe is front heavy by nature with small wings and small vertical stab

[@Johnellenberger1]

First R/C Draken that actually flies let alone flies great!

[@mr.taylor711]

Hardly. A very well-flying and significantly more scale version has been available on 3dlabprint for quite a while.

[@thomasmusolff-7050]

X29 please

[@benni87248]

what about cheater holes for more intake volume

[@akaFrits1]

Exactly my point, just like the Gripen. That way you can retain the beautiful scale looks

[@hotlapkyle]

Anything’s possible. Cheater holts fill the fan with junk and sometimes after enough landings the fan will need to be cleaned

[@benni87248]

@@hotlapkylefair point

[@mr.taylor711]

The very beautiful Draken on 3dlabprint has no cheater holes and manages well with the unmodified and very scale intakes on a 50mm fan🤓

[@akaFrits1]

@@mr.taylor711 That’s right. It doesn’t fly as fast as Kyle’s I think, but as a scale plane it wouldn’t have to. Mine still has to make it’s maiden flight

[@vrosi1963]

Print the exhaust nozzle out of solid reg pla to add weight

Good idea
