RagWing Low Aspect Ratio Experiment-Lazy Bee replica 

Much respect for the little motor pulling all that drag around the sky.

I loved the RC version and this full scale is great! Congratulations!

I love the way you land the plane, nose up a little bit and very smooth touch the ballon tire to ground

I have always loved the Lazy Bee This is exquisite

No information, no captions, no narration but a thoroughly enjoyable video of someone enjoying their life.

Crazy low speed lift! Holding that steep take off climb for so long. Impressed with the small engine.

Interesting ultralight or micro light. Too small for me, definitely reminds me of the lazy bee rc bird..look great. 👍🇺🇸

Look at him go! Any additional information on the plane? Engine, glide ratio? People are bashing it here, but to me looks pretty doable. Certainly doesn't fly worse than a Cri-Cri or Pou-du-Ciel.

The AOA of that wing is just killer !

Can't believe you built it, I saw the conception drawing. REAL NICE

Even by barnstormer standards, that is the riskiest, most unprepared excuse for a runway I have ever seen !!

Some of the Farman-inspired biplanes of pre-WWI and during WWI were not only single-surface but had single wire control of ailerons. On the ground the ailerons hung straight down. Air flow was what pushed them up. Yet they flew.

Tinkerers in Africa and India, take note!

Individual results may vary, and mechanics and iteration of a concept make the difference, but a common misconception seen everywhere and here in these comments is that a very low aspect ratio must have very high drag. Very many examples have shown this to be false as a rule. Many have proven to be sleek and quick on available power. See the '30s Nemeth "parachute plane". Biplane fuselage with a 15' diameter parasol wing. Faster than the original, 45 degree climb, 60 degree descent with near-zero landing roll in any wid. Stall-spin proof. Similar to the '30s Farman 1020, also faster than the monoplane which the fuselage came from, similar abilities and stall-proof. Most famous, the Arup plane from Indiana ("Air + Up"). S-2 was the basis for the Vought V-173, and proved that it did not need the over-complex situation with the props (NACA tunnel tests with the Vought / Zimmerman plane found that it did not gain anything from that situation of the props)>Arup S-2 was 790 lbs, flew 85 kts on 37 hp,

Excellent. If you used a large wing tip, the aspect ratio would increase significantly!

Glide ratio of a greased brick?

Very interesting. Congratulations. (I also like your catamaran boat).

Man that's like an ol- skool hotrod in the sky.... Awsum Job Man 😎

I saw the Arup S-4 50 years ago. I really like it like the avro designs too

What did I just stumble on?

i thought it was one of those African aviation videos

I could see the induced drag ;-)

weird aircraft.. it looks amazing but also a bit scary.

Good proof of concept

Prop looks real big on that lil plane, nice flying tho.

That chord is so wide that it almost looks like a flying wing…

Neat to change out to some motor glider wings next

Next step is a Delta wing. You can go to 40 degrees...

nice three-point! It doesn't seem that a wheel-landing would be advisable, though!

Cool.

Well good - and very brave - effort. I think it would have been easier to fly with a much bigger fin.

How do Short Aspect Ratio Wings behave upon engine failure? Meaning: Could it glide a bit for a not too bad landing site?

Let me think off the LACEy-M10

Well done. Is the crosswind quite limited?

Belated Congrats, but NO thank you!!

It looks like there is way too much angle on the wing!

Horrendously high Aof A required, it would not be easy to fly. Well done.

😊😊😊😊😊😊

Flying wing only

всё таки крыло тяжелое, высокий центр тяжести и мягкая подвеска, - сильно болтает по крену и на земле и в воздухе

Too much drag and not enough power.

i hope you are paying the motor over time nice one good little plane to fly not as big as yours mate all i can say you have got balls mate😆😆😁

is the wing 100 percent flat as in no dyhedral?

I saw some slight adverse yaw in turning. All things considered, nice build and flight.

Glad to see the plane Macgyver built 40 years ago for the show using a rusty lawnmower blade and a rotting plywood barn door actually get airborne.
