Hello everyone,
I had the guts of a coaxial IR controlled heli lying around, so i thought of building an airframe for them to fit in. Its a dual motor pusher propeller airplane, controlled by differential thrust, designed to fly in a 15'X20' room. (at least this is what i thought before building it:D)

construction material:- 9'' dia. foam plates

powerplant:- 9mm coreless motor+ 1'' dia. prop

wingspan:- 38 cm

fuse length:- 29 cm

airfoil:- undercambered
 
here are the pics

The wing is made up of two sections of 19cm each. It has a chod of 9cm. And has a tip dihedral of 1.5cm

initially i decided to go for a flat plate wing with a little chamber formed by rolling it over a 2'' dia. pvc pipe, but then decided to skeletonise it and cover it with tissue paper in order to reduce weight.

Two balsa ribs and a spar are also added just to provide strength

The plane will be a two channel one with differential thrust, hence no controll surfaces are needed.

I think i got a little libral in the size department and the plane came out to be a little bigger in size:D..........but am not sure about it as i am a nubie........so comments are welcomed friends!!

Arrey Sir, its nothing special, just regular foam plates that are used in marraige cerimonies etc.

I got hold of a couple of them with a diameter of 9'' and cut out the center flat section.

Its thickness is little more than 1mm (didn't have vernier so can't tell you the accurate measurement)........so i joined two such pieces to obtain desired thickness of 3mm for the wing, rest all is just 1mm

Thanx Saurabh sir,
i didn't use any tool for generating the pattern on the wing halves. Just calculated the seperation and angle between the load bearing members of the truss and drew the pattern directly on the wing halves using sketch pen.

This pattern was later on cut by surgical scalpel using a no. 11 blade(which you can actually see in the pic)

Information sharing improves knowledge of both.



Bilal, Good Craftwork.

One long balsa strip required for wing tip to tip to take load of electronics if you put inside. Please check if required.

Thanks

Very neat build Bilal! I admire the neat cuts. How do you plan to mount the motors and when do you plan to do it?  Clap Clap Clap

I'd be glad if you suggest something:)

Since you've already put a strip of wood (?) to create the under cambered win shape, why don't you mount your motors using those spars as reinforcement? What are you using for the 1" props? Heli tail rotors?

Those ribs are cut from some 3mm balsa, i had lying around.....and you caught me right sir, i planned to use heli tail rotors that came with my heli, but now after seeing the size of the plane, am i doubt whether they will provide enuff thrust or not?

And one more thing sir, suppose i hot-glued mu motors to the balsa rib, then won't thry be pointing downwards?

 Hats Off bro, those wing portions are looking like machine cut, excellent finish and great improvisation on wings.  Clap One query... will the tissue paper be strong enough to take the stress on wings..or you are going to stiffen the tissue paper.
