I've been touch and go in the hobby for a while (it's a pun, get it?!) due to work soaking up most of my time. But I got a 4 day stretch off and wanted to fly. Have a lot of fixing to do on my Storch and Edge, and my radian is still waiting on parts. So I thought it would be a good time to build a new wing, because why not?
Bought a stack of dollar tree foam board and got to work cutting out plans for a Versa, built it up, recycled some electronics and got it in the air today. Love the plane, absolutely rips and its amazing how fast flying comes back to you after a month or two off.
My only problem, which is probably a flaw in my piloting skills, it lands hot. Like afraid to break a prop fast. SO my mind got to turnin' and wondered, what if i put air brakes on it?
Before I go through the process of designing some in Fusion360 and printing them, has anyone put air brakes on a wing? Im guessing since you dont have the fulcrum of a tail, the placement has to be dead on the center of rotation. All input is greatly appreciated, also if i end up designing printable airbrakes I will gladly share the file!
Happy Flying
