An R/C Paramotor wing YOU can build!

[Mythradites]

Quick update:
Got the wingtip and trailing edge attachment points attached.
Also salvaging the first wing. So far so good!

Looking great!

A lines and rib stiffeners are all thats left!

Sewn and glued B, C, D and Brake attachment points done

 

[RCAiradventures]

Fantastic! Looking great, Myth!

Just about done with the model, then flatten and make plans:

 

[RCAiradventures]

Ok, so this is basically it. I am putting together the plans now - In a few days they should be ready!

 

[RCAiradventures]

Exciting news! I just got word of another LuteFisk wing in the wild - this video was sent to me by a builder. It looks great - keep it up, everyone!

 

[Mythradites]

All the sewing is finished! Just reinforcing the attachment points with some fabric glue. Now to tie all the lines!

 

[RCAiradventures]

SWEET! I can't wait to see it in the air!

 

[Mythradites]

I look forward to the plans and videos of the cart

Thank you so much for making this available!

All done! Made the bag to keep everything contained.

Just need to do some inflation tests to ensure all the lines are the appropriate lengths.
I will snag some more pictures of the finished wing when I get a chance.

Now I just need to build the cart!

Speaking of the cart. . . here is the first DRAFT. I am in the process of going through and ensuring that dimensions and templates are correct and collecting all of the CAD and STL files. Take a look and let me know if I have missed anything.

Enjoy!

@Myth - great job!!

Exactly what I needed! Thank you again. I will post more pics of the work in progress

 

[Mythradites]

Is there anyway we could get measurements?

 

[RCAiradventures]

Most of the dimensions are there in the plans - which ones do you need?

 

[RCAiradventures]

the bend templates are also full size for all of the metal parts - be sure to print at 100% scaling.

 

[Mythradites]

Ah got it! All set. Thank you again

 

[RCAiradventures]

No worries - As soon as I have all the files together I will post a build package and start making the construction vids!

 

[RCAiradventures]

All,

Here is the first 'Simple Cart' update package. I have included all of the '.STL' files you should need to print the parts and a '.DWG' of the servo arms in case you want to laser cut or CNC them.

Please let me know what sort of information is still needed in the plans - sometimes it is difficult to remember what I forgot to tell you!

As soon as I get some metal together here, I will be starting the build videos.

Enjoy!

Making Progress!!!

So, here is our progress so far! I know its been awhile, but we are just taking our time, and enjoying every step of the way. First, here is our wing, with the tips and trailing edge finished. It turned out pretty good, i think!


Next is my Labor Day project - the cart! My younger bro Jesse who works at a metal fabrication shop helped me out, even though it was his day off!

We started by cutting the flat stock to the right width, and we used the Super 90 adhesive to stick the templates to the 1/4" thick aluminum. This stuff worked great again!


Next, i center punched all the holes which were to be drilled, and we finished the job with a drill press.



Jesse set up the press brake, and we used that to get all the right angles in the bends. He is a master at what he does!


First he bent the hang point attachment bar:




Next, he bent the main body of the cart. It was really nice to be able to use the machine!




Lastly he bent the battery tray pieces, and we test fit everything to make sure our holes were all drilled correctly


After some work on the sander, I took it home and cleaned the templates off with some WD-40. It worked fantastic to remove the sticky adhesive!


I temporarily put everything together to test the fit. I'm very happy with how it turned out!! All i need now is hardware!


Also notice how the battery packs i was hoping to use fit the tray perfectly!!

I'm still trying to decide if i want to put landing gear on this cart, i'm not sure i'll ever use it anyway. I don't have a 3d printer anyway, so i'll probably make the servo holder and anything else out of wood.

Myth, your wing is looking amazing! can't wait to see that thing in the air!

Thanks again, James, for making a daunting project easy! Your plans worked great!
