Thinking of a PropDrive 28x26 1200 Kv with 30 Amp esc.
Battery : 2200 mha 3S

Wing Span : 992 mm
Fuse Length : 702 mm

1 Wing : Wing Area = 757.54 sq cm
Total Wing area = 3030.16 sq cm.
Fuse Area : 40.763 sq cm x 2 = 81.5 sq cm

Looking forward to seeing this one fly

I will be looking for a test builder and flyer.

Gotta luv a Tiger. Iconic airplane, flying to this day. I might have a go at this design of yours. You sure turn them out! What motor battery combo would you suggest?

 

[TooJung2Die]

I put my biggest motor in your SE-5a and I'm fresh out of receivers. I'm gonna have to crash something soon.

Will there be tiled versions of this plane and/or the SE5?

 

[unrauv]

All my downloads have sheet and tiled versions.

 

[foamtest]

Okay thank you!

I have decided to go even more scale with tapered wing design.

Very nice Vince. BTW, we might soon be neighbors. There is a fork in the destiny trail that could have me ending up in Seattle. I'll keep you posted.

Tapered Wings and N strut designs...

Nice! I flew a real one back in 2013

I read these airplanes were so popular in GB at one time that any small private biplane was generically called a Moth. Like a copy machine today is called a Xerox.

N Struts...


Due to the variation in the builds these struts may have to be modified for each individual build. I am hope they will work most of the time.


Once the wing is test fitted, you want to add more more round struts from the bottom of the fuse to upper wing.

Hi All here is the side View with all the gear installed, does it look OK? I have gone with a FB battery hatch. The key to this plane will be the lighten the tail as much as possible. The model is scale. Cut outs and film could make the different in the overall weight behind CG. Smaller battery if possible maybe.

 

[TooJung2Die]

That is a very nice looking airplane. It's sleeker than the WWI fighters. I am curious to see what the purpose of the "remove after wing placement" parts are there for.

 

[unrauv]

Basically it holds the wing in place, glue it. Place the up wing on the inside n struts. Etc... I will post more picture of the wings and fuse cut outs. Need your input. You cut it off after you don't need it anymore.
