Title: RC plane using XPS foam (insufoam) Post by: manu on May 04, 2024, 12:48:14 PM Hi everyone,
I was able to get some time to design a plane on fusion. I am trying to fabricate the same using extruded poly styrene (XPS) , locally called insufoam, using a hotwire cutter and other tools Technical details airfoil : Clark y Span : 1000mm Chord : 166mm Aspect ratio :1:6 Fuse : 625 mm V tail servo 4*9gms Cubic wing loading : 6.65 Power plant : yet to be decided (70-100 Watts 2210-2212, 1200-1400kv) prop: 7045 Battery : 1500mah 3s Stall speed : 6.6m/sec Ps : named it after one my good friends 😅 Title: Re: RC plane using XPS foam (insufoam) Post by: manu on May 04, 2024, 01:01:15 PM Hot wire cutting and progress till now.
Need to buy a 6*4 mm cf hollow tube for the Spar and a motor to power the model. DYS d2822 1450 (overkill) is on my mind. Last image is of a scaled down 1:10 3d Printed model Should I go for the pultruded or the roll wrapped CF???

Ditched the idea of CF tube as it's pretty costly Used beading wood instead. (20 rs 😅) Power plant : dys 2822 1450kv , 3s Title: Re: RC plane using XPS foam (insufoam) Post by: manu on May 18, 2024, 12:06:33 AM Finally got it in the air. It's a good flier.

You should look up posts of Free Flight, and Gilidiator, to know who these guys are and what they represent. It’ll we worthwhile. Title: Re: RC plane using XPS foam (insufoam) Post by: manu on May 18, 2024, 10:02:09 PM @free flight, Sir, thank you for the words of appreciation. @Iyer Sir, , I will definitely try to know more about them.
