Hey all,
First off, my apologies for the swappable ugli stick demise. It flew, but never well. Then when I saw a duplicate project on RCgroups, I dropped it. Now however, I have built a blu core flying wing which is capable of nearly 100 MPH on inexpensive equipment.
Its dimensions are: 39 inch span, 4 inch chord at the tip, 9 inch chord at the root, 1.5 inch thickness at root, 1/4 inch at the tip.
It is however, far stronger than the average blu core wing due to a construction method that I invented.
The strength comes from a gorilla glue mixed with elmers glue, which is not new, I know, but when the wing's leading edge is filled with this mix, It creates an surface which can withstand a full throttle vertical dive into the ground with little more than some wrinkling of the leading edge.
How do I know this? I am not a good pilot, and blue planes against blue skies are hard to keep track of.
EDIT: OKAY, I am a procrastinator.
With out further ado, here is the build log of the wing. I do not have plans yet. I am not very good at using sketch up, and the scaling factors are way off when printed.
This wing has been tested as a Hi start glider, a slopie, a racer, a slow flyer, a combat wing, and an aileron trainer.
I do not recommend it as an aileron trainer yet. I am still testing one with Dihedral
