Anybody else scratch building tonight?

YEEEESSS! Thank You! Twin 50mm edf’s?

The v.2 might be able to fit 35-40mm EDFs

 

[Tench745]

Ha, I'm litterally starting redesign right after I finished the v.1

Advice from my own experience: There is always a v.2, and you usually start designing it before you're done with v.1.

Mini Blackbird v.2 wings

You are kind of right about that, when I was building v.1, I saw all the stuff I did wrong so I planned vor v.2, and now look at this beauty!

A billion times better than v.1!

 

[short_nathan]

Plans are for it are out!

 

[Mr Man]

Looks a lot better than v1, Great Job!

 

[LitterBug]

Hmm.... We need an EZ SR71 for indoor fly season!

Cheers!

Yes, and I am already thinking about v.3 probably in not less than a couple of days.

 

[short_nathan]

I suggest that someone should tweak the design so it can be RC.

Hey, thanks!!!,

I just finished my B2, a SR-71 EZ will be a challenge.

Doubt it could fly in a gym. With the long length of fuse, should be a real challenge.

Go for it!

Would have to be really big and super lite to fly a '71 in a gym, then all the flights would be essentially a circle, at best an oval if the gym as huge

Just finished v.3 plans, and it might be able to be airworthy someday. I haven't built it yet though.

 

[Mr Man]

Pics?

 

[short_nathan]

not built yet, but it is supposed to be mostly the same except for the wings (they will be able to fit control surfaces) and thrust tubes (might be able to fit small EDFs). Here is a plan previewn tho:

 

[Mr Man]

I wonder if there’s a way to do a shaped fuse?🧐

what is a shaped fuse? 🤨

 

[Mr Man]

Where the Fuselage has the same shape as the real thing.

 

[short_nathan]

Aaaaah, yeah, I don't think I'll do that, since it would go from FT Simple Blackbird to Ft Master Series Blackbird. I want this to be as simple as possible. The only thing I didn't change in v.3 was the fuselage for a reason.

 

[Mr NCT]

You could make the fuselage a diamond shape

 

[Mr Man]

That would look pretty good.
