the Armin Wing: part 8 - Wingtip Caps & Improved Trailing Edges

[@ThomasMTube]

Beautiful Wing! I hope to make one.

[@RCDawg]

thanks for sharing! Would like to see your design/build of a Armin wing flying wing.

[@ExperimentalAirlines]

I like the 9g size for all applications. There is an $8 digital metal gear EXI and a $4 standard plastic EXI I get from HobbyPartz and use depending on the force needed and the abuse expected. TPro and HXT900 are hard to beat for price in small planes and non-critical uses. Virtually all the rest of the parts I order are from HobbyKing.

Hi Ed,love your vids started my first build,was wondering how come you don’t apply the tape to the bottom of the wing first.

[@ExperimentalAirlines]

Those are starting to come out from some other guys. I will be building one soon. Have a look at the scratchbuilding contest video for two great versions of an Armin wing flying wing.

Beautiful Wing!

I enjoy all the verbs you use :P

[@ExperimentalAirlines]

That's a great idea as long as you're working with 100% tape-on-tape. If there is any exposed foamboard then water is unfortunately a no-no.

[@daggius]

is it waterproof if i am making a sea plane?

[@AlexSwavely]

I just watched your 'improved fuselage' video and noted the use of water there, so - - you need only spray one surface, you can mist just the foam-side tape. - you'd be pushing the water out and away while applying - It's likely that very little water will contact the paper edge Of course, this is just theory at this point. When I get to that step, I'll give it a shot and tell you how it turns out.

In my discussion with others concerning the Armin wing, I am giving you credit for the invention of this wing design, then I found out your last name is not "Armin" but that of a sponsor? It's a very clever and simple design that has excellent characteristics. Can you give us the history on this wing?

[@AlexSwavely]

Your concern about the tape sticking together prematurely can be helped with a fine mist of water on the sticky side, which will get squeegeed out with the card. It's a vinyl sign/decal maker's and window tinter's trick. Use plain tap water in a misting spray bottle - you can get big ones from the plant section of a hardware store, or small ones near the window tint at the auto parts store.

I build one was very fast used a 1500 kv brushless outboard motor and a 30 amp speed controller.. First flight ended in a tree minor repair ..lol Awesome plane thanks for sharing was wondering what place you order parts from and servo's used... Thanks

[@mohan.hathi1]

Hobbyking.com is a good place to order parts.

[@3Davy]

Hello can i ask you what did you use for the fluo yellow ?Is it tape ore ora cover?

[@ExperimentalAirlines]

nice, thanks, I do tend to go overboard with the vocab

[@ExperimentalAirlines]

Armin is my 4 year old son, and he is clever and excellent too, so I wanted to honor him with the name of the wing design. You might check the "Intro to Ed @ Experimental Airlines" video for more random details about me and EA. Glad to hear you're spreading the word. Be sure to send some videos my way when you can.

[@yanchumchom6861]

Good job.I like

[@benjaminpoulin7171]

I know it's kind of a simple question, but are you using a hot glue gun, or a low temp gun? I am using a hot glue gun, and every once in a while it melts part of the foam. I wasn't sure if a low temp would adhere as well as a high temp one.

[@FPVTrond]

Geat video! The Armin Wing is fantastic :)

[@rogersanish]

como desearia que hables en español. estan muy bueno lo que haces sos un genio

[@waltergreen252]

Thanks for the demo, you saved me a lot of time!

[@tinkerrbill]

How Ironic! Your posting on part8 which is the tail end of a eight part series showing the exact thing you are asking for! 8-| Start with Ed's video label "The Armin Wing: Part 1"
