For Long wanted to Build big Flying wing, which will fly gently, stable and can ride on thermals.......

so decided to go for 50" flying wing....then Praddy gave me idea of making ALULA instead of traditional flying wing....and i like this bird...

it has slightly forward swept and dihedral of around 1 degree.......

Decided to make own plan..downloaded few pics from original website and some forum and started creating Vector drawing in CorelDraw.......after completing took print out in A4 size, stick  it together and cut the main wing.

Decided to make KF2 airfoil.. main wing was cut in 8 mm Biofoam, KF2 step airfoil in 5mm and control surfaces in 5mm.

planning to keep it as light as possible...so planning to use 2208, 1800 kV motor with may be 1000mAh 2s Lipo and 7" prop.. power system is not yet finalized...will have to experiment....motor will be mounted in the front in puller config..

here are few pics

over the weekend was able to make removable rudder, control surfaces and able to mount servo.....

to make rudder detachable, i used 2 cm long, 5x3 mm hollow Cf pipe and fixed it on the fuse, and used 3 mm CF rod in the Rudder so that it can be easily inserted/attached to fuse..here are few pics

Nice build Ash!! The detachable fin is good. Did you consider Nylon bolts instead of CF Rods ? you can get M4/M6 bolts long as 2 inches.

That looks like a good slope soarer
Isn't the original design supposed to be a sloper or a combat wing ?

@Ujjwaana,
thanks yaar, i was also thinking same, it was better option but would have taken more time in getting it so thought of completing it with CF tube and rod

@xantos,
original design is a soarer, but thought of putting little power to it...lets see how it fly...

Cheers

Finally completed and was able to maiden it on sunday.... Clap

thanks to Praddy and SLS...to successfully maiden it...test pilot was praddy and launcher was SLS...

initially used CF 2805/1600, with 6" prop and 2s 1000mAh battery to keep setup light.

but during maiden we realise than it is just able to fly level....so changed setup to 2208/1800 motor with 6" prop and 3s 1000mAh battery..and wow it started climbing pretty decent.....

it was really wonderful day.. praddy, SLS and me enjoyed flying this bird... it was gentle....pretty stable.....

unfortunatly i forgot my camera so video this time..but next time will surely do it...

now planning to upgrade it with folding prop and to build canopy to reduce drag...

here are few pics

cheerss
