Hi there, so some of you might know me as that guy that started designing the Draco RC or that fast looking chaos Long EZ. Both of which are on hold for a number of reasons. So I decided a few weeks ago to start working on YET ANOTHER PLANE....... however this one would be different, in that it would be designed around constraints that would allow me to actually get started and finished with the knowledge resources I have on hand. (no waiting for components that are on back order for indefinite amounts of time).
So I have a big resin printer, and I have some insanely good resin from Siraya Tech, no its not brittle or weak, no its not heavy (its actually lighter than PLA and stronger). I would say im pretty good with CAD software and know my way around designing stuff, but I always like to challenge myself to go further.
If you would like to see more of the design process, CFD sims and the reasons behind the design Ive posted many videos on my YouTube channel in the chaos daily series starting at episode 025. Otherwise I also post very regularly on my twitter
Ok, lets go over some specs.
--Wingspan: 1570mm
--length (without spinner): 1111mm
--Wing loading: 32g/dm^2ish
--Airframe weight: 580grams ish (based on CAD data, whole plane not printed yet)
--flying weight : 1.4kgish
--Cost in printing materials: somewhere around $50 USD
--Motor: MultiStar 3525-650Kv 14Pole Outrunner
--ESC: modified MultiStar 20amp ESC
--Battery: 4s CNHL 3000mah 55c
--Servos: 4x TSS-10MG turnigy metal gear servos
--Prop: 12x4.5 inch carbon fiber
More technical detals on the CFD results can be found in the attached pictures, but generally it has great slow speed results and will be on rails above 16m/s with very sharp handling. The motor prop combo gives it well over 1:1 TWR.
I have held off on making this post until I had actual parts printed, since my other 2 projects are in limbo I didnt want to come off as that guy that does a lot of talking and has nothing to show for it. so here it is. As far as I can find online this is the first resin printed RC plane, and I hope to have it in the air by the end of the month. Taking the time to document everything for my YT channel means things progress a bit slower but I really enjoy putting in the effort to share my work with you all.
Let me know what you think, Please check out my YT videos since I go over loads of the the details there.
