[@TheDaddy187]

new project... go big... real big... build a 1:1 replica of the wright brothers plane that achieved the first powered flight... needs to be as acurate as possible... so the control surfaces they had will be the only way to control it... you can use more than 1 motor for thrust, but no differential thrust allowed... then show us all what the design was capable of... that, fellas, is going to be a challenge...

[@glumpy10]

Wouldn't be an accurate demonstration. The power to weight ratio of any modern engine would be many times better than what the Wright brothers had at their disposal.... unless your goal was to over power it and fly it till it came apart :0).

[@carmatic]

@@glumpy10 theres nothing which prevents a stipulation from being added which sets a limit on the available power output.... but more than that, our modern materials would outclass the wood and fabric they had during their time, a 1:1 reconstruction of the wright flyer would probably weigh a fraction of the original

[@carmatic]

not only that, but radio control didnt exist back then, and without a human onboard , a wright flyer built with modern materials would almost have positive buoyancy in air... i think a good challenge is to see just how small a modern power pack you can carry in a replica wright flyer, while still mantaining controlled flight, covering a minimum of 120 feet like the original first flight, and using the original control scheme of pulling wires

Thanks for the awesome video. 😀

[@BlazeLeiton]

Well, this truly redefines the term "Aviation Battleship"

[@pinchflat]

I have not had much luck with motors on canards. My hypothesis is that the thrust creates lift. This in turn pitches the nose up. If it were mine i would mount the motors on the "mid wings" closer to cg. That way the thust does not induce a pitching action. My 2 cents

[@lumusaurus9572]

Exactly what I thought.

[@delukxy]

Where is the CG? Approx inline with the leading edge of the middle wing? The battery can be used as moveable ballast.

[@harley1200davidson]

[@leira9246]

One thing I noticed could be a rather simple priblem to fix. The battleship is tilted backwards, which can be remedied by adding weight to/displacing weight towards the front. This would also improve the speed of the boat, by focusing propulsion forward, rather than up. Still cool to watch, though. Good job.

On the battleship, add a matching pair of motors blowing over the rear wing to equalize lift and add a second battery forward. Blown wings fore and aft should give near STOL performance and weight forward should reduce the nose down control deflection required for level flight trim.
