WOODBURN 060522

This is the second flight on my epowered minimum system, I tested a new prop and power used, and new battery's this is part one of two part video.

Danny, way to go! I don't know how you make all these things from scratch, but I'm glad you do. Congratulations! You are a pioneer and I hope you post more flights soon :)

[@onedoodadyoung]

Thanks Chad it is better than our winch days. I hope to soon catch the thermal to cloud base!

Nice setup for unassisted flights in flat terrain! I didn't know battery power could get you up that high! For people with disabilities,such as arthritis,this is fantastic!

[@user-qs7tw1de6u]

Very good, but you didn't think about the fire, if these batteries catch fire on your back, it's dangerous! I am a modeler myself and saw with my own eyes how it happened to my friend.

[@onedoodadyoung]

Thanks for your concern.

[@MrFalcon195]

Very nice. Great job. I think, if the batteries were placed below the upper pipe would give you more room for your harness. It loos like you do not have upward movement for your legs since the batteries are on the way. Just my opinion. I am building a similar system... Thank you for the video. Made me inspired.

Looks good but i prefer my soaring trike. Bit more comfort as i age . Climb looked really good looks stable

[@onedoodadyoung]

Thanks, I have always wanted a soaring trike. maybe someday.

[@whisperingeagle]

@@onedoodadyoung well i truly miss the light wing loading of hang gliding. My soaring trike isnt quite as good. But the plusses are i dont need a driver, i have more options on where i can launch, i can go around as much as i want on a lz. My range is exstended and more comfortable. So alot of safety is built into that. But the advantage of flying a lighter wing loading and taking off prone is really atractive on your video and design. Truth is what all of us glide heads really want are real bird wings on are back. Fly safe my friend

[@angargoy7181]

*Have you thought of mounting the motor in the front part of the front structure where the strong tubes are located so that the propeller pulls in this way you avoid all the mounting in the rear part with two wheels in the triangle you could take off from the ground in the same way. greetings.*

Good build, looks to handle quite nice! Wish someone would sell plans for flphg units. I love building but wouldn't know where to start n the important things to watch for.

[@onedoodadyoung]

Thanks, I used the minimum system to start from and it was a lot of trial and error, batteries, motors, ESCs, and 8 different props. I was determined to make it work and it does a good job for what it is designed for, one shot to thermal altitude!

[@flyingtime5501]

@@onedoodadyoung nice...where can I find any info on the minimum setup. I can't find anything except I think I seen n old vid of it flying years ago. I'm proficient with building all the electronics n even prop stuff, I'm more concerned with airframe imbalances n torque management.

[@onedoodadyoung]

let's talk 7194018256

[@flyndude]

Nice job! Is this something you designed? I'm working on a project to install an electric motor on my glider and would be interested in the component details: batteries, controller, motor, prop manufacturer and diameter.

[@onedoodadyoung]

Hello Rick, The design comes from Europe I think I first saw this setup In the late 70s. and it was called a Minimum system. I just made my own version of it for electric. It is made up of very large RC equipment. the motor is an out runner with 95 KV on 16s or 67 volts fully charged it is rated at 8000 watts output. I am running 110 to 120 amps at 67 volts or 8040 watts. I have a 2.5 to 1 cog belt reduction drive giving my prop 2546 rpm. but it tacks at around 2200 with a 51x26 prop. So far it has worked the best giving a climb rate of around 200'/m. I am making a 52x30 to see if I can improve speed a little. I am climbing best around 20 to 21 mph. The batteries are 4s cells 14.2v at 8000ma, x 4 series =67v x 3 parallels gives me 24AH. I used 6600ma in 10 min at full power and climbed to 1200 in lift and sink. My set up is working and it is not the top of the line my any means, but the paraglider folks are making good power systems and there are lots of things coming along in Eruope. My ESC is 300amp 16s Alian brand but not good service. The Motor is called Watts Big and is out of business. The speed controller is a RC servo tester. If you google Radar Bernstein his ehelp videos shows epower setups and how it all works. If I can help you in any way that I can I will be clad to. If you want to call me Message me and I will give you my #. I carve my own folding props and it comes in handy trying to get the most out on the motor. I hope this helps. Danny

[@Lucassss85]

Hi! Very nice flying. Have you rebuild the original schwarze-minimum system, or you build the unit from scratch? I'm asking because I try to find used original minimum, and now its very problematic :/

[@onedoodadyoung]

Thank you, I had seen that original minimum years ago and liked it. I saw the Flyped and went from there and built this from scratch. This video was the 3rd flight. I have since lengthened the tubes 5" going to the harness to correct the thrust angle to be more parallel with air flow and lowered my hang point. Testing props now. I am very pleased with the unit.

[@ericoschmitt]

I like this idea of attaching the engine to the glider too. But isn't the angle point a bit too downwards? Your hangloop looks quite short, I think that would be the easy fix

[@onedoodadyoung]

You are very observant yes you are correct I have Lengthened the tubes to the harness and also going to Lengthen the hang loop to correct that. downward angle thanks for the observations

Yes Reidar started all this and is my mentor! Good luck with the build.

[@CoIoneIPanic]

Everyone should call the non emergency (annoyance line) or the airport whenever they hear and see one one of these noisy polluters flying around making a racket. Hopefully the FAA will start requiring these guys to follow the same regulations as other motorized aircraft. It's only a matter of time before these guys screw everything up for us air powered pilots.

[@onedoodadyoung]

Sir, I fly under FAA part 103 Regs, and it's silent Electric powered !!

[@CoIoneIPanic]

@@onedoodadyoung I stand corrected.

[@tappan48]

The positive angle of attack 19 to 23 degrees seems a bit much, how close are you to stall speed? Cruise speed?

[@onedoodadyoung]

Bill, thanks for your interest and observations. This flight was one of the first flights and the angle was too high. I lengthen the tubes to the harness and used a streamer to check the angle of thrust. I am happy with the setup although more power and speed would be nice,

[@viralbull8085]

this is absolutely brilliant, i was wondering if this rig existed, it seem like a hustle to go up a mountain to catch wind or being dragged by a truck, not to mention i rather be in a motorized vehicle than one that is hundred percent at the mercy of mother nature, mother nature can be a b0tch some times. do you have videos on how to build one or you sell them?

[@onedoodadyoung]

If you subscribe to my channel I have a video that shows about the system and the components. I do not sell the units, thanks for your interest.

[@user-th8pz9sc4d]

Мотор не должен быть жёстко закреплён. Вектор тяги направлен под углом снизу вверх, а не вдоль направления полёта.

[@onedoodadyoung]

Sir, you are correct in that the motor angle is is pointing up to much. This was the first flight with video, seeing this I corrected by lengthened the tubes to the harness 5" to correct the angle as you can see in the later flights. thanks

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

That's great.

[@onedoodadyoung]

Thanks got todays flight uploading soon.

[@bradbrown2168]

Is this an electric motor? Thrust? Run time? Awesome project!

[@onedoodadyoung]

Yes it is a 8000w 95KV outrunner with 2.5 redrive running on 16s 24AH lipos. I have no way of measuring the thrust but it is enough to climb to thermal altitude 1200 to 1600 with a run time of 10 minutes at 22 mph. Check out my other videos and there is one that explains the whole setup. Glad you liked it.

DJ, I have a Falcon 195 and it works well. I am 72 and I had a U2 160 and I had to get a lighter wing because I have a bad back. any wing will work if you can remove or cut the keel to clear the prop, and handle the extra 50 lbs.
