Thank you Michal... funnily enough (despite appearances) a flying will tend to be less efficient than a conventional layout of the same span. The flying wing has to provide stability through wing twist or reflex, so it can never generate the same amount of lift as a standard layout with a separate elevator. I still love them just the same though! Cheers.
Thanks Jeff! It was lurking in the car yesterday but the wind was a little too much. Hopefully you'll get to see it in action before the summer is out.....
Paul... How does it Thermal? And did you build another bigger one? Seems to fly like it needs more weight... Sure looks good in the air! Thanks for the vid!
Thermals very nicely thank you Fred. Yes I added more nose weight, see here- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JYoMn6F_UZU.html currently building a 5 metre version for windy conditions....
I think I was foolish rather than brave Mike....but lady luck was on my side! The spar is 1/4 inch pine top and bottom with 1/16th balsa shear webs front and back to make up a full span box spar.
@@miniphase Indeed, every plane has its safe envelope. My first RC plane was a Geier from Robbe - still fascinated by flying wings. Thanks for your video !
