Title: Build log: 3ch Twin boom pusher plane Post by: VTOLkarthik on October 31, 2013, 07:21:15 PM After my almost successful scratch build glider "DREAMER" -----> http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/beginner-plane-%27dreamer%27-1-5-meter-coro-glider/ which was traction so as you all know it, motor always gets screwed after 5 to 6 so called good flights I learnt how to handle the planes and moved to make a pusher plane.
After getting lot of suggestions I planed to make this.Thanks for everyone who helped to do it. :hatsoff: Here is the the progress and i will maiden once I finish it. after a lot of thinking I named it "VAAYU" to have an INDIAN name is better than funky names(for me!). Here is the build log: just to say my electronic components are same as the above plane since am not buying anything for now. wing construction: Wing is made of 5mm laminated depron airfoil: kfm2 reinforced with 4mm cf rod and depron of 1inch width throughout the step to get chord length: 8inch since the cf rod was 1mtr in length and I dint want to cut it,I made the center wing of 1mtr in length. the polyhedral is 8.5 inch. any suggestionsin anyway can help! will keep posted thank you Title: Re: Build log: 3ch Twin boom pusher plane Post by: umayash1 on October 31, 2013, 07:40:31 PM Wish you all the best with the build!!

used a 12mm beading for twin booms of length 21inches. I used zip ties for mounting the boom to the wing since its easier to attach and detach during transportation. Title: Re: Build log: 3ch Twin boom pusher plane Post by: VTOLkarthik on October 31, 2013, 11:35:11 PM close up images of the booms

the AUW was 935gms! I had only quad prop so i couldn't fly it. some or the other way i need to reduce the weight. I have SF prop 10x7 which is nt recommended fr the motor but ill try tmrw and test it.

Title: Re: Build log: 3ch Twin boom pusher plane Post by: VTOLkarthik on November 05, 2013, 09:15:21 AM i made use of 12mm wood beading which was lying around in my home....
I also tested the another wing which was lesser wingspan and tried to fly it, but wasn't successful. |
