Title: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on January 09, 2016, 05:02:01 PM Scratch building my very own Flying Wing ;D ;D...... I am soo exited.
Now just hoping for the best. By the way I am following this tutorial /diy video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpjzNjn7ynw Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: hangingtough on January 09, 2016, 08:05:32 PM Material and size
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on January 09, 2016, 08:23:24 PM Material is thermocol...... Which is easily available at stationery shops..... I will give one coating of fevicol....... And another layer of newspaper applied with fevicol and water solution(50:50) to strengthen it.
Then I will add carbon As per size..... It's wing span is 30".... Most of the size measurements are same as taken in the video :) Root chord is 11 Tip chord 9(including 2" of eleven.) Sweep is 9.

One more step towards flying in sky. Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on January 21, 2016, 11:50:33 PM Quick tip. YOU CAN USE TOOTH PICKS with fevicol/hot glue while joining 2 layers of THERMOCOL
Just apply glue/fevicol on tooth pick and pass through 2layers kept one on other(specially useful in case of making kf2/KF3 airfoils. Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on January 22, 2016, 08:36:00 PM Making the curves :giggle: I love curves (:|~
Hope slowly and steadily i would win the race... ;D Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on January 22, 2016, 11:25:25 PM Kf2 airfoil....... Pls do comment if i am wrong somewhere.....
I am open to suggestions :) Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on January 25, 2016, 10:38:45 PM Refined kfm2 airfoil........ Hope its fine now...... :)
Open to advices and suggestions..... If any...... :) Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Voice of deaf on May 11, 2016, 02:48:40 PM Any progress
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 11, 2016, 03:00:25 PM Yes !! A little bit. :)
i will share it when i reach home :D Joined the elevons with tape....... Applied tape in lower surface..... (Made a simple motor mount with ice cream sticks....Double layer of ice cream(One horizontal and one vertical) stick sticked with fevicol/fevi stick/ca, applied tape on it, and passed it through fire). Its light and yet strong.....WIll make holes through it. :) Will be using https://www.sparkpcb.com/robotics/dys-brushless-dc-motor-1400-kv-for-quadcopters-or-multirotors.html ....... Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: kamalsahai on May 11, 2016, 03:06:06 PM looking forward for video of flying
kp Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 11, 2016, 03:10:06 PM Sir, once complete, I will definitely share the maiden flight video...... :) :D
(It will take a little more time :) ) (This is my own project.) Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 11, 2016, 09:00:44 PM See the image for reference,
You would see sticks laid in two patterns horizontal and vertical, apply fevicol/feviquik/ca/ between the edges. Let it rest for some time. Then cut a square out of them(using simple blade or balsa cutter) . Then take the two pieces, and apply fevicol/ca/whatever between them and place them, one over another(one should have horizontal pattern and place it on another which is kept in vertical pattern).This will add to its strength.... Let it rest. Then tape it. Then heat it a little bit so that it sticks tightly. And you will get a light yet strong motor mount. Draw holes through the mount and use it accordingly. Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: RCNeil21 on May 11, 2016, 09:21:10 PM I would suggest to start with a more beginner friendly model, or the brooklyn aerodrome towel if you want a delta wing type plane to start out with :hatsoff:
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 11, 2016, 09:42:40 PM Yes........!!! You are right bro. Rather i should have gone for basic 3 channel electric trainer(throttle rudder and elevator :) ) ..... But i was mesmerized by wings..... :p that i just forgot the rights and wrongs for beginners......
I know it will be very tough playing around with elevons....... Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: rastsaurabh on May 12, 2016, 01:18:45 PM In my view a well balanced wing is much easier to learn and fly.
Best part is very easy to make. Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 12, 2016, 03:20:43 PM Sweet words........... (:|~
Was eager to hear these consoling words.......... 8-) Any advice or suggestion for its looks....... ;D i mean the color schemes, paints or decals. Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Voice of deaf on May 12, 2016, 03:33:09 PM Bottom - orange and black stripes.
Top purple and green gloss artwork Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 12, 2016, 03:40:41 PM I was thinking about blue and yellow or Purple and white :D
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Voice of deaf on May 12, 2016, 04:27:37 PM Thats for maximising visibility
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: prabal276 on May 12, 2016, 05:06:09 PM @ Sukhpreet
Whats your age? Just out of curiosity. Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 12, 2016, 05:35:49 PM Messaged you :)
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Pawan123 on May 13, 2016, 02:19:34 AM My first scratch build B-) Fully autonomous! APM 2.6!
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on May 13, 2016, 09:28:39 AM WWOOOWW .......... !!!!! (:|~ (:|~
Thats an awesome beast !!! :thumbsup: Measurements and the electronics(besides APM 2.6 FC) being used for/in it ?? Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: kn8alpha on June 22, 2016, 06:32:34 PM Awesome job Sukhpreet.. your posts and pics are nudging me to get started..
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: Sukhpreet on June 22, 2016, 07:20:35 PM Thank You.....:D Glad you liked it.
I love to start from the very basic.....:) So it takes a lot of time (Moreover as being a developer i get very less time.. so the progress is very very slow :( ) But I just hope this will be beneficial for the ones who want to use basic materials.(as depron is not easily available at a few places.) Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: shobhit17 on June 24, 2016, 05:54:54 PM well... have a look at my posts on scratch built Kaiser from normal foam..... I been flying that model and many more such models for last 2 years...
Title: Re: Scratch building flying wing. My first scratch build. Post by: swapnilnimbalkar on December 07, 2016, 03:08:37 PM We will be happy to see the flight video.
