Here's my entry into the Heinkel plane challenge https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/heinkel-plane-2021-challenge.68064/
I had taken a break from RC for awhile, but I did attend FF this year and that rekindled the fire within.
Then this challenge comes along and I say "What the heck"
I've always liked this plane, even though it was not particularly effective.
Since I've upgraded the EDFs I'm using in the SR I have a couple lower end EDFs laying around...
A prototype has been built.
Things learned;
Needs to be larger I'm thinking 150% or more.
I used plans for a paper model as a template, it needed bulkheads... I have a nice plan for a balsa design I might try next.
The wing was a total fail. I was going for a K-step airfoil... Aannnd... didn't quite get there.
I'll Post the cut files (DXF) Just as a service to everyone, but I plan to totally rework the plan in the coming weeks.
