Model Aircraft Design - Part 3

It's time to build a successor to my original Arduino glider: the perfect excuse for me to geek out on the topic of aircraft design.
In this video I go over the basics aircraft performance, and in particular the factors that govern the size and shape of my aircraft's wing.

Amazing project!

Very well explained, many thanks. Also qudos for the tsr2 footage, I'm not at all surprised:-)

I've been doing research on English Electric/BAC circa 1965 for an upcoming video. As you'd imagine it comes up quite a bit.

@@Thumblegudget I look forward to it! I'm currently researching the Northrop flying wings of the 1940s.

Wow I just started to design my airplane and this videos are AMAZING! I really am excited how you will design tail and other control surfaces. Will you explain in the future videos why do you prefer v tail over classical rudder-elevator tail?

Hi, when are you releasing the next video? would love to see the next part! What were the settings on your original glider? also what code did you use?

[@Thumblegudget]

@@TheYFMer I will try to get back to this sometime. Bit busy these because my wife and I have a baby to look after. I wrote the code for the original glider myself. It was a bit janky tbh and I don’t think I’ll be sharing it.

@@Thumblegudget Hi thanks for getting back to me! Yes I am interested to see how you carry on with this project! I am trying to do something similar with a pre-designed RC frame and a custom designed flight controller with an Arduino connected via i2c to a Raspberry Pi. This is what I have so far! kzbin.infoZ7XARVU6pO4

Will the series continue?

[@Thumblegudget]

Hopefully. I've been a bit sidetracked with a few things.

[@Joe-zw9ep]

When complete could you share the .stl files? Thanks.

[@Thumblegudget]

I'm definitely considering it. I'll finish the design first and decide.
