Coanda 1910 Jet

[leaded50]

ive got time for another build before (hopefully more health treatment) The Coanda from 1910, the first plane with "jet"-engine!!
Ive talked about it before in some threads, and now is the time!
I needed make some minor adjustments, as getting space for battery eg. , anyway the look will be unmistacely the Coanda.
I was looking around for finding a correct sized cup to use in front, with no luck, so 3D printed it in one layer. (thin and light)

How will you control it? I see no control surfaces anywhere, and those stabilizers look a little too small.

ill control it as it was on the original! They are a bit bigger than original. (needed 4 servos for the job )
And you see, if wanna change a direction, 2 of the triangle ends, go together and make a bigger surface. (as up.... the lower ones stands as normal, the two on top angles together)

Oh! now it makes sense. thanks for the explanation.

a bit more done....... it got wings on, and the landing gear..(just misssing the wheels....
The pilot is from "correct time" with flosshat .

according to general consensus within the aviation community,the Coanda wasn't the first jet plane,it was an innovative concept though

tja, f*** vet, men det høres ikke ut som kun en "vifte"
