24" flying wing! the Dead Simple 24 $5 scratch build challenge 

YES! I am glad you built it! Pretty nice, eh? Yeah wings need the reflex to act as a "downforce" on the "tail"(if there was one). This keep the center of lift constant with the center of gravity. If you look up "rcmodelreviews" he has a 2 part video on flying wing aerodynamics that explains a lot! Once again, Happy to hear you made it!

Lord of the Wings I’m still flying this one. I’m just having trouble with esc’s giving out on me. It went down once with loss of control and the only thing I came up with is the 12a esc was too hot and it shut down. My spitfire done something similar but it still had control and battery voltage was fine. I immediately removed the 30a esc and put it on the wing thinking it would be plenty and was working fine for a few days. I went out flying again and noticed a hiccup in throttle while flying, brought it down and it started to stutter at low throttle but spinned up fine at higher throttle. I checked online they said it could be a bad solder or connection. I checked all of that and the motor for damage. I tired the esc on another motor and behaved the same way. I’m only using a 5x4 prop and half throttle most the time. I don’t see why the esc can’t keep up. I’m going to try my luck with a 50a esc and if that doesn’t work, look into an alternative motor (using dys 1806 2300kv right now)

Thats really odd pan tac, I am using the exact same motor and ESC and have had long runs of full throttle. What 12a esc are you running? I wouldn't go much larger than the 12a or an 18a on this wing as you do not want to load it down too much. maybe try a better quality esc? what battery connector? If you are running a red JST, you may want to upgrade to an XT30/XT60

Lord of the Wings does your motor or esc ever get hot to the touch? I was using a HTIRC Hornet Series 12A Brushless ESC For RC Models from banggood. The heat seems to be less when I lower the camera power but shouldn’t have had to do that but it’s still pretty hot. On this wing, when I have the power setting at 200mw (tx03) on camera it’s fine until I move the servos and then the picture flickers or it turns off complete, doesn’t do that on the f959 and only difference is this being powered by a 3s battery. On my f959 I use full transmitting power for camera. Besides the f959, all my connectors are XT60. Idk I’ll keep trying, it’s a fun plane to fly

It is pretty fun, and easy to build, as you know. I am running a bl heli ESC. Sure it gets hot, but I get no surging or power issues. Keep at it, i'm sure you can figure it out. How is it to fly FPV? I haven't tried yet.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Looking forward to you build video :)

Yep, pretty soon that maybe all we're flying

In the case of these wings you have to use a delta mix on your radio where when you pull elevator back, it raises both 'elevons' and the opposite for pushing the elevator forward.

The are in the link in the description :-)

If I'm not mistaken that's a Flite Test Mini Power Pod. Build video can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axOnU5GKSJI.html

I printed them tiled on 8.5 x 11 then taped them together.. real simple!

nevermind i spoke too soon

It was actually a flight test mighty mini arrow mount. its literally a C channel made out of foam board with a wooden firewall on the end. zero degrees thrust.

Dollar tree foam board! You can also use 6mm depron

Thank u so much

No it runs off the BEC on the ESC @ 5v

@@lordofthewings4578 I see now thx for replying

Hello there! I would fly this for 6-7 minutes and land at 'storage' voltage.

It handled it just fine!

Practice, Practice, Practice.

@Jacob Sebastian A flying wing is probably a bit much to handle.. this would be a good second or third plane. I would suggest checking out flite test and the tiny trainer.

so make it -:)

Exactly this! I started the video at 4pm and was at the flying spot by 6pm.

Nice! Much quicker than the filtetest builds I do, and it looks like a pretty great flier. If I put a hole in the ground with my Rad jet, I might build one of these next. I have the same radio you are using, that thing is amazing for $50!

HaHa on top of the crappy mic, i had a major sinus infection that week.. i had about three 'takes' in the video where i sneezed in the middle of it.

see this link.. it has full plans: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1252282-24-DS-(Dead-Simple)-Flying-Wing-Pics-Video-Plans

@@lordofthewings4578 can you tell me the wing sweep angle

it was a 1806 2300kv motor with a 5" prop
