Title: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 05, 2013, 08:49:52 PM Built a Flitetest Versa Wing Pusher.
It will be used afterwards for fpv.... Thanks to Aniket for finding the source of biofoam and Flitetest for designing this easybuild wing. I have 2 motors lying around and I cant decide which one to use on the wing. I have the bixler 1.1's 1900 kv motor and a hobbyking 2812/10 1400kv motor.... which one should I use?

Also made a battery pocket and receiver pocket. Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: sanjayrai55 on November 06, 2013, 09:03:31 AM Nice!!
Is that biofoam or foamboard (without or with paper backing) Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: RcGuru on November 06, 2013, 03:53:46 PM Its biofoam without paper backing
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: RCNeil21 on November 06, 2013, 07:12:15 PM great build!!! made by prateek13 but questions answered by rcguru :giggle:
tell us how she flies ;) guru (:|~ Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 06, 2013, 07:58:03 PM Logged into the account on my pc.... anyway the foam is really good!
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: ved on November 06, 2013, 09:16:16 PM Nice build Prateek. Eager to visit your place one day and check out.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 07, 2013, 12:20:11 AM Have you been flying since we last met?
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: ved on November 07, 2013, 12:32:58 PM No flying but had made a few hovercrafts and boats. Now I am building the T-copter again. So I will have to come there.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: aniket210696 on November 07, 2013, 01:40:49 PM dude! use the bixlu ka motor... you can use that chotta 5 inch prop....
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 07, 2013, 01:45:01 PM Using the bixler motor with a 6x4
Btw aniket I was able to remove the godforsaken date stamp ftom the camera :P Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 07, 2013, 07:40:13 PM Has anyone tried waterproofing biofoam? Like flitetest do by using minwax...
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: aniket210696 on November 09, 2013, 09:21:40 PM your cams lens is fine??? put a pic of the carcass!!! :D
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 09, 2013, 09:49:19 PM Will put the pic soon! The plane didn't perform good so I had to put it to rest! :P
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on November 11, 2013, 12:40:11 AM FPV near my place, Vainguinim Valley!
Title: Re: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: aniket210696 on November 11, 2013, 10:17:44 PM you don't need to waterproof biofoam... it's unlaminated... the min wax is for waterproofing the paper....

Title: Re: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: aniket210696 on November 19, 2013, 11:37:23 PM @prateek, it's something.... beggars can't be choosers
Sent from a potato using a lamp - now mashed Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: rcrcnitesh on November 29, 2013, 02:11:31 PM Did this plane fly well and is it good for doing fpv how much was the overall weight of it. A flying video would be great.
Title: Re: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: aniket210696 on November 29, 2013, 02:53:41 PM sorry nitesh.. this plane is "temporarily not operational (forever)" I'm sure prateek would be happy to divulge the details... ::);):P:D;D

Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: ved on November 29, 2013, 03:12:59 PM No. It didnt fly good.... I think.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: kushagrgoyal on March 28, 2014, 01:30:26 PM i only get 8mm biofoam in udaipur. I made versa wing from it, it seems to be too heavy.
2200mah 3s lipo birdie 20A esc hextronik 9g servos prop 8*4.5 hextronik blue wonder 1300kv motor hobbyking 200mw 900mhz fpv system with 500mah 3s lipo the weight without any batteries is 450g. what should i change, prop? motor? any help would be appreciated. Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: Priyum on March 28, 2014, 01:33:53 PM Could you please guide me on how to bend biofoam as i want to build a full airfoil and i have 6mm biofoam.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: kushagrgoyal on March 28, 2014, 01:36:32 PM for the versa wing, i scored it 50% and bent it. Packaging tape was used to make it strong. But, mine is too heavy, i think. I am not sure.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: manojswizera on March 28, 2014, 02:44:28 PM The main problems with Flying wings design is that, they are very difficult to balance. getting right CG is very difficult. The only option left is to put heavy lipo at the front , which further increases the weight and flying characteristics also.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on May 04, 2014, 12:38:32 PM You cannot bend this biofoam. If you want to make an airfoil then simply cut the foam and then keep them together and apply a piece of fiber tape along the cut. Once you have set the desired shape(by making multiple cuts) apply hot glue inside the cavity on the opposite side if the taped edge.
Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: aniket210696 on May 04, 2014, 01:11:13 PM you CAN bend it... if you want a smooth aerofoil, use 3mm biofoam for the top of the wing, and 5mm for the bottom. now glue only the leading edge of the 3mm biofoam, and slowly bend it backwards, while having a friend heat it with a hairdryer (or leave the sheet in the sun for an hour) this will help it curve nice and smooth... dont forget to reinforce the leading edge afterwards with tape!
hope this helps regards aniket Title: Re: FT Versa Wing Build Post by: prateek13 on May 04, 2014, 01:28:03 PM Aniket- I am talking about the one which I used, 5mm.
You cannot bend it |
