1911 Blériot XXVII BUILD DOCUMENTATION

[SidMicro]

Hello Dear Flite Test Buddies ,

im new here and im want to share my build of a Bleriot XXVII from 1911 .

The Bleriot XXVII was a middle-wing, single-seat racing aircraft designed by Louis Bleriot.

These are the stats of the real Bleriot XXVII:

General characteristics

• Crew: 1
• Length: 7.50 m (24 ft 7 in)
• Wingspan: 8.90 m (29 ft 2 in)
• Wing area: 12 m2 (130 sq ft)
• Gross weight: 430 kg (948 lb)
• Powerplant: 1 × Gnome 7 Omega 7-cylinder air-cooled rotary piston engine, 37 kW (50 hp)
• Propellers: 2-bladed
• Maximum speed: 125 km/h (78 mph, 67 kn)

My build of this magnificent aircraft will be made from 3mm Depron (u can use every foam you want) and barbeque skewers and wooden coffee stirs .
Down below you can see some pictures of the real Bleriot XXVII that is displayed at the RAF Museum Hendon .

I hope you will like my documentary of the build. Plans may follow but i will first draw everything by hand .

Sincerely Daniel

The Bleriot used wing warping for roll control. It would be a serious challenge if you can use that!

That would be a big challenge , maybe i will try that in a second model 🤔 but first it will be 3 Channel or maybe 4 channel . Im more the type of guy that figures everything out while building . Only thing i plan out ist the fuselage and Wing Dimensions .

Fuselage and Wings plans will be finished this Weekend 😄

I love those oldies . What kind of motor size and what wingspan will it have ? I think I will make myelf a sub250 grams version of it .
I will be following ... Thanks man ! P.S. Just noticed it doesn't have dihedral

Hey , thats exactly what my mission is too ! I can tell you the Wingspan and Fuselage lenght later. Im aiming for a sub 250gramm built as well . But i havent figured out the motor i will use yet . But i can tell you that the motor room/compartment has the size of 40mm wide ×34mm high

I recently bought the Motor and ESC of the Zohd Drift Glider . I'm installing it in my 60% FT Explorer . Have a look , it's not expensive .
