FPV96 - Giant Flying Wing Build 

lol

This was quite a long time ago so I don't remember (and I've long since dismantled it). I basically scaled up a smaller KFM2 design.

Hmmm, not sure that it is more work..unless you have a bunch of tools available that I don't have (wire cutter or cnc equipment) then sculpting a traditional airfoil would be more work. If you're comparing it so something like the "armin wing" this is more durable in a crash and I find it easier to build...that said I've also built my share of traditional airfoil using dollar tree foamboard and they work pretty well. This monstrosity isn't necessarily the best example for the stepped airfoil, most of my KFm airfoil wings are 48" or less and the foam is only 1/2" or less and easier to cut.

@@UnlimitedVertical I just use patterns and diy hot wire cutters

ROFL...I can't believe you watched this (very) old video.

If I only had a brain 🧠...it would hurt too

+Thema inproblem lol

I would not look to this design for tips :-) I was merely trying to maximize the width and scaled another design as much as I could to fit a 4x8 sheet. It did not fly great, but that was due to 2 issues. 1) needed more power, 2) needed more nose weight (CG had it tail heavy). Other changes would have been to use thinner foam, this was too thick (too much cross sectional area cutting through the air).

Hi Christopher. There is a link in the description which shows the dimensions (well, most of them). The motor is mentioned in the video. It's a Turnigy 3548/4 1100KV motor. It puts out 910W. It won't be enough for 1:1 thrust/weight, but should be enough to fly

UnlimitedVertical How about the Cord width and tip lengths. I am never good at estimating the wings. I have NTM Prop Drive 42-38 750kv 785 w and a 28-36 2200 kv 696w which do you think will be better suited for the wing.

Christopher Loh The link in the description shows those dimensions, but here they are again : root chord - 30", tip chord - 20", sweep 28". Out of those motors, the 4238 would be a better choice. I would not recommend building this wing until I have had a chance to maiden mine. At this point I do not know if it is a good flyer or not.

If you build one, use 1" foam instead of 1 1/2"...this is too thick, too much drag. Also, go thinner on the elevons, that way you don't need two servos for each. Can't remember the music, either from youtube's royalty free music, or from PowerDirector's built in royalty free music.

You know it!

Sorry, I don't have a template or plans. The description has a link to the flying wing calcualtor with all of the major dimensions punched in.

lol...they help to weigh it down :-)

я прекрасно понимаю! )) это в шутку.. Отличное видео! Спасибо!

I wanted to fly it today, but it is much too windy for a maiden. The first nice day that I have that I am not at work I will put it in the air :-) Thanks for the comment

UnlimitedVertical i can say here in danmark lots of wind today and sorry for my english its not the best

Kim sørensen Kim, your English is much better than my Danish...I am certain of that :-) It was windy yesterday right up until about 8pm. I did go out flying, bu t left the big wing at home. Hopefully next weekend I'll get it in the air.

i have a maxi swift here its a good plane easy to fly
