Cessna A152 Aerobat (MS)

And wing incidence? Did it help the STOL ability much? Sorry for staying off topic. You have too much cool stuff going on. like that red and white plane on the right in the hangar.

Wing incidence unchanged

Here is my drawing of the Aerobat wing so far. Should be ready to build when I have time.

I haven't yet decided if doubling the flaps and ailerons is worth it. By sanding one of the layers, the surface will match the triangular cross section of the wing, but its also a lot of work for an insignificant detail. If you look at the cross section in the bottom left of the attached image you should be able to see what I am referring to.

It is a bit of extra work and, in my experience, makes little difference to the maneuverability of the aircraft. It does make for a stiffer control surface with slightly less drag that also looks better.
You can always try it without then add the second surface and see which you prefer.

I built the first version of the wing and have made minor adjustments on the cad design, including removal of the double layered control surfaces. Hopefully the version 2 wing will line up better.

any pics? very interested

Here is the v1 wing. It didn’t line up very well and I’m not going to waste foam on the wingtips if I know they won’t fit right. V2 coming soon!

Any progess?

 

[Jonny Gum]

Nope haha. Now working on a custom Timber and a new crack yak. Back burner for the Aerobat for the time being

By custom timber... Do you mean a foam board timber?

 

[Jonny Gum]

No, I got a free E-Flite Timber from a storage closet in a hangar at work. I am modifying, restoring, and repainting it. It was in pretty bad shape.

any updates?
even if plans are rough and just enough I would be really happy to build this

It’s still on the back burner, I’m just super busy going into spring. Will keep updated as I want to at least finish before flitefest.
