Title: My new Flying Wing
Post by: foamybuilder on December 04, 2010, 09:28:24 PM
My new flying wing design
Everything fits in the canopy now. Canopy is from my stingray  :giggle:, was lazy to build a new canopy for this
Wing span is 1metre, AUW is 440grams with 1500mah battery
It has KF2 airfoil
Motor CF 2812, Plan to use 7x6 prop.
I know the color scheme is not good  :banghead:. Its easy to loose orientation especially when flying these kinds of planes, so have all bright colors.
Going for maiden tomorrow.

The front bulkhead is packaging foam. Motor is mounted to 6mm vineer (sanded to 4mm) with Nylon ties and glued to the bulkhead with hotglue.
Hotglue melts some portion of this packaging foam and becomes rock solid. (Not sure whats the name of this foam though)

Cool finally everything looks neat and clean. The magnets hold the canopy?

Yep these rare earth magnets are realy strong. Did a glide test now, and seems to hold really tight.
