It’s ok to be slightly tail heavy when your thrust is coming from the tail but the second your power cuts she’ll become a handful. If you increase wing area and try lighten it up you should get sustained flight
To get the CG, Velcro attached to a plumbine (piece of string) ajustt velcro up and down fuselage. Or a magnet attached to a line and a small strong magnet for inside.
awesome bro.. also a big fanatic of the german ww2 prototypes.. especially the horten wing designs erc.. maybe make a little bigger but looks like it will fly.. thanks for showing us this
@@hotlapkyle Hi. Love your designs! I am developing something that might be interesting and a challenge for you. I am developing a flying car design similar in look and function to the Blade Runner flying car. I call it the Sky Chaser. It has 4 large wheels, and looks and drives like a Can-Am race car, and flies both vertically like a drone and horizontally like a plane. It has no folding wings or extended folding props, and uses the body as a wing. It simply flies the way it looks. It is basically a twin prop engine flying wing design with double rudders and double elevons for control. Because the wings are very short, it flies very much like your jets, and is very stable and does not need a flight stabilizer in plane mode, but needs one for VTOL mode. The 2 prop front motors tilt up for VTOL and a vertical prop motor in back behind the cockpit lifts the back end in vertical flight mode. The model functions very similar to the Convergence RC model. I have it working with ArduPilot firmware. I have built many working 1/6 scale models out of foam board and want to make a 3D printable model, but have no experience. I have a CAD model of the design and have got it to fly in the RealFlight flight simulator. Click on my icon to see more information about the design, and videos of the model flying. Also search on the Internet: Sky Chaser flying car. My email is on my SkyChaser(dot)se website, under contact.
I do not have a lot of RC knowledge, but aren't there engines whose blades turn clockwise and counter clockwise to cancel out torque when used in pairs?
Yes sir AR-234 PalEEz! Or HE-162 that ones a single fanand you can do traditional A-10 type rudders or a V-tail. Love the videos, channel and what your doing. I probably asked before but if you don't mind what kind of printers you running? I'm a noob to printing but I'm definitely getting one now. Thank you so much for everything
Get one cw rotation edf and one ccw edf. If you make them counter rotate then you will have absolutely no torque roll. You could probably just find a reverse rotation fan blade for one of the ones your already have.
That "plane" as static curiosity its fine but its to small to fly don´t have enough aerosurface to gain aerodinamic sustainability maybe with bigger wings or scaled the all plane i guess, that´s my opinion.
Focke-Wulf FW TA-283 powered by ramjets. It was to be launched with a rocket engine until airspeed was high enough for the ramjets to work. At least that was the plan. Look at "Luft '46" for more like this.
Why don't you test without rc and engine? Simple glider test for testing of the correct cg. If you throw it into high Grass it just wont break and you would be much faster
0221 a pushrod should be perpendicular to its associated hinge line. to the extent that it is practical to do so, the mass of aileron servos should be located at or forward-of the cg. the cg should be located at thirty percent of mac. 0228 a low-wing and/or t-tail model should be INVERTED during balancing. when an aircraft is inherently 'tail heavy', Everything that can be done to reduce the amount of mass located aft-of the cg/c-m Should be done.! this tiny model WEIGHS a POUND+ and it has a lot of inherent tail-heaviness in its distribution of mass (dom). it is a certainty that the span-wise dom of the main wing is less-than optimal. 0442 DOWN elevator.?!?!? are you NUTS. it appears that an optimal thrust line/angle has NOT been used. if this is so, the thrust from the edfs is going to be cause nose-DOWN moment... All the time.! if interested, you should look at the angles (at the engine exhausts) that have been used on the f-4 or a-10. in order to avoid wonky thrust affects, the thrust line should intersect the point where the center of mass (c-m) is Supposed to be located.
A bit of history lesson regarding WW2 German plane design, they where designed for less drag and instability, yes instability! cuz instability wins dog fights. And the Americans did learn with after the WW2 war then they where looking at all the stuff Americans stole from Germany then the war was mor or less ended. and i in the late part. Like Horten Ho-226, and the Comet and so on.. Americans learned alot from the Germans, not only how to get to the moon, but also how to build efficient planes that also showed up to be stealthy. a small simple DualSky Gyro i usually use for this type of "Prototype" small planes. i build mine by hand from foam and balsa tho. And you did a misstake with the elevator, its to small, that is one thing on our models that cannot be to scale, horizontal and elevator should be at least 25% in size of the main wing. well should or should, that is the number to work from. then if you go smaller you know if you are just a bit small or if you are REALLY small on the size for the horizontal . you need to make your elevators bigger cuz that will only work in really high speed. so I will with absolutely no patience wait and see how you solve this :D cuz it HAS to fly you know :)
a) I don't know such a prototype, this is nonsense b) a lot of talk about it c) find out about the aerodynamics and center of gravity of similar models, this is desperate...
