Title: Another SPAD Post by: manu on September 23, 2023, 08:11:51 PM Hi everyone,
Here is another SPAD build log SPAN : 48" CHORD: 9" MATERIAL : 3MM CORRO The earlier V Tail I built was not a good flier (crashed a lot) but had me read a lot about v-tails, so attempting another build, this time fully out of corro. power plant would be a DYS D3536 1000kv coupled with a 10*7 I want to build something like this Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on September 23, 2023, 08:21:23 PM Progress so far

Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on September 26, 2023, 09:08:40 PM Thankyou Sanjay sir. fuselage and tail and assembly. ditched the tail boom and vtail. It looks like a spadstick except for the rudder.

Looks much better without the boom! Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on September 26, 2023, 10:28:19 PM 😀. Thankyou Iyer Sir.
Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on September 27, 2023, 08:27:30 PM updates , servo installation pending. Cut the formers on a CNC laser out of aeroply. Glued them to the fuse.
Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on October 06, 2023, 11:23:32 AM Crashed the one in the pics above on last Saturday, built a lookalike this week.
The fuse is 30inches long and the wing has the same dimensions. It looks better now I think. Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on October 10, 2023, 07:40:02 PM video , Maidened by my buddy Nitin Xavier.

Congratulations. Flies well. You need more airspeed to roll safely! Regards Iyer Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on October 10, 2023, 08:24:11 PM Thankyou Sir, It was a 9*7 on 4s, it was flying at around 30% throttle, plus the pilot lost orientation as it was a bit dark but somehow he managed to save it during the roll

Very smooth. But some overcontrol in turns? Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manu on October 11, 2023, 10:44:17 PM Sir, there is automatic rudder assistance to avoid adverse yaw when a roll input is given (the autopilot does it) even if we haven't given any yaw input from the transmitter , may be it's because of that.
Title: Re: Another SPAD Post by: manojswizera on October 24, 2023, 01:33:18 PM Very well build Manuji. SPAD are always great to fly and watch.
