Nice wing build! I've been working on a semi armin style wing for a hotliner electric sailplane. But I dont like the weight that all the tape covering adds. Ive been trying to get a more aerodynamic version of the lightweight flighttest foam board wings without the headaches of a full hotwired foam core covered in carbon. I'll definitely use your superior trailing edge in my own design. I love the double tapered foam with the paper meeting at a sharp edge. So much better than what I've tried so far. I also like the basswood doubler to the foam spars. I'll be redrawing my plans again in the near future, and buying some more foamboard to experiment with

[@ChrisMisMYhandle]

I used a similar technique to this on a mini scratch build and the wing is great. I'm upscaling it now and adding a lot more power. wingspan will be around 45in. I think I'll be around 1000 grams with a graphene 4s and a aerodrive 3542 1250kv. this flap design looks really neat. looks like I'll be butchering another plane for 2 more servos ^^

[@nerdnic]

Do it!

[@ChrisMisMYhandle]

Nic Lechner it's already under way. I keep saying I'll build a chipmunk but I'm really enjoying designing / developing my own planes at the moment.

[@ChrisMisMYhandle]

Nic Lechner I have finished the build. there's a thread on the forum. mini speed wing pylon racers bigger brother. I hope the maiden goes well

[@RCP-1136]

this channel should get more recognition! as far as i understand you were/are part of FT community and startet to improve the designs and now develop your own? thats awesome! what about working with FT? keep it up!!!!

[@nerdnic]

Thanks for the kind words :)

[@Timless2]

Thanks for your set of videos on designing and building using the computer. This video is a nice compliment to those.

[@nerdnic]

Glad it helped!

[@Jack2Japan]

Very excellent video. Can't wait for Ki-61 release!!

[@nerdnic]

Plans are here! www.nerdnic.com/nnki-61.html

[@Jack2Japan]

Well presented. Easy to understand. And useful.

[@nerdnic]

Thanks!

[@avelkm]

Spars like this should(could) be added to FT designs as well, especially for larger wings. Thanks!

[@nerdnic]

You can definitely add these spars to any foam wing. Even if you don't want to go fast, the extra strength helps in longevity and even crashes.

[@jamich1]

you are 100% right. I learned hard way. Few weeks ago I totaled my FT spitfire because I did not add any spar there. Wings just folded and plane went down full speed head on :(

[@devineutsler7286]

Hey Nic. You have some awesome designs. So far, I have only built some FT designs. I have also built a VAS micro wraith style dtfb plane that I have not had a chance to fly yet due to the wet weather we are currently having in Northern California. I am really not sure how it is going to fly. It is really heavy for the surface area of the wing. I do have a request for you. I would love to see a DTFB design that is a 4 channel fpv pusher style plane, similar to something like the VAS Specter. I think your wing design would marry well into a design like that.

[@nerdnic]

Great suggestion, that would be a fun DT plane!

[@ototheo2740]

Can you make a build guide for the DLG in the background ?

[@nerdnic]

Definitely! It's on the list :-)

[@ivanabraham8145]

Is it ok to use foam board that doesn't have an extra brown layer in it? I can't found one in my area

[@nerdnic]

Yes. The brown is just a special flite test version that's water resistant.

[@Kiromos]

Still Superb!

[@mwbev]

Wow Nic, from what I've seen so far, your planes are amazing! Can you mount one of your speedwings on the FT Spitfire fuselage? Thanks in advance.

[@nerdnic]

Yes it can be done. You'll need to make changes to the wing slot though. I'm working on a mod that would allow others to do this!

[@Sandokans]

Hi, nice work Better then flite test explantation and concept.. How many watt have the glue gun, I see you don't melt the foam.. Cheers

[@nerdnic]

Thanks, Rohan! My glue gun is 100 watts. It will melt the foam, though. You just have to move quick and apply the appropriate amount of glue as needed. Lower watt glue guns will prevent some foam melting, but you won't be able to do long glue lines that are required on the wing.

[@antonblebann6823]

Your Wing looks really great👍🏻, is it possible to build a Wing with Washout❓ many thanks in advance..

[@millerrc5829]

Hey nerdnic,do you have to have a basswood or aluminum spar even if you had a 3s setup?

[@nerdnic]

Nope, you'll be fine on 3s at around 250w with just the foam spar. If your setup is over 250w then you might want to look at the basswood.

[@buttahfpv4312]

Where can i get the plans for this? i cant find it on your website.... i really wanna build the speedwing :)

[@arika.8926]

I agree where can we get this plan?

[@vicman579]

Me 3! Plans link?

[@dutchloveRC]

good info

[@kingmankingkongman9875]

Do you have a simple cub design?

[@elijahf111]

hey nick quick question, i saw the ft podcast where they talk about the 2 versions of your nn mig 3. will one of the versions be the same as your design just drawn differently?

[@nerdnic]

Hi! The FT version is based on my design and I worked with Josh to dial it in. My nn version is the only one with the speedwing but won't be available through FT. I am working on a v2 and speed build kit for my nnMiG 3, so keep an eye out for that!

[@elijahf111]

will the ft version have the high speed like yours?

[@nerdnic]

The FT version will not have my speedwing. The wing is more sleek than a normal FT wing but not as advanced as my design.

[@elijahf111]

OK

[@unixoid33]

can I use this wing for nnmig3?

[@sirjasim4469]

nice work bro

[@nerdnic]

Thanks!

[@CabralWolverine]

olá eu queria mais detalhe sobre o DLG

[@footduck6681]

Can you sell kits?

[@holski77]

Quality.

[@nerdnic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@THE_SXMPLER]

Do you work for flight test🧐

[@nerdnic]

Viper Jets I don't. In the past I did design work for them (MiG 3) but I am not involved with FT anymore.

[@THE_SXMPLER]

Did you make any models with them

[@nerdnic]

Viper Jets yes, I designed the FT MiG 3. Check the store page on their site and it gives some details: store.flitetest.com/flite-test-mig3-electric-airplane-kit-1067mm-flt-1052/p673716

[@THE_SXMPLER]

You should make chuck gliders

[@PS-nf3xw]

Hey, you need to put more vids

[@javieruriel]

Hey dude where can I get your kits?

[@nerdnic]

www.nerdnic.com/store.html

[@javieruriel]

Thanks nic, do you have more projects.

[@nerdnic]

More are coming!
