Title: Flying wing using styrofoam Post by: Imperial fire on May 01, 2018, 08:11:40 PM Got styrofoam from kwality products in bangalore
Really cheap in my opinion. Hotwired it.and made a flying wing fow when i go hiking. The root cord and tip cord are a simple clark y profile with zero tip twist. https://youtu.be/lEWAIwx7Z68 Title: Re: Flying wing using styrofoam Post by: Imperial fire on May 01, 2018, 08:13:59 PM The reason i avoided a upper twist in the tip is that i was hot wiring for the first time and wasnt sure if i could create a symmetric twist on both wing.
If anyone has any Q regarding flying wings. Shoot em to me..will be glad to help... These are almost as good as traditional tail airplanes to fly . I was very hesitant to make these...glad i did. P.s glacier footage of yhe himalayas and indrahar pass coming up soon.😎 Title: Re: Flying wing using styrofoam Post by: Imperial fire on May 01, 2018, 08:17:46 PM P.ps styrofoam is a must try if you haven't before...its so much better than depron....best alternative if epp and better foam blocks arent available or are expensive.
Ppps my airplane doesn't need a carbon fibre spar even though yhe wingspan is over a metre and its carrying a cam and a decent sized 3s... 👍 Title: Re: Flying wing using styrofoam Post by: manojswizera on May 02, 2018, 11:24:52 AM Nice Wing ''fire''.

Yes its lightweight. I tried to keep yhe cord as large as possible. The auw must be around 400grams..have to measure it though.climbs vertically on a 700g thrust motor... Have managed to get it in one piece upto indrahar pass almost... should he fun |
