Hope to release my Sr-71 soon....

If it flies well I’d be interested in that. And where your CG ends up

Yeah, I am just winging it on the CG.....I hope it works!

Did some static testing where I designed a circular to rectangle exhaust with the triangle(top and bottom exhaust and 9" length) shape. The unit weighs 63.4 grams

Charged up battery where each pack is 4.2000V and then held it vertically and added throttle until it hovered by itself(quick let go and grab). It took 87-88% throttle to get it to hover with 2 try's where I back off to 50% and came up again.
Then charged battery to again 4.200 with unit off and it hovered at 76-75%.

I know there is a small additional thrust/wt. to hover, but I was quite surprised that much throttle. I did some testing on my SR-71(different lengths of inlet and outlet circular tubing) and % changes were small. Even explored nose cone area.

Also, I am going for dynamic runs to see with triangular exit shape, what flow pattern it produces when mixed with airflow and what it does. I am also changing exit shapes to see how it effects the pitch. This adds knowledge to the proper design of NYGAD planes.

Best to use a CG calc program.

Yeah...I have one...It's called: Look at it, think about and do what looks good! LOL

Waiting to fly. We had tornados and storms yesterday, hope it dries out soon.

 

[Mr Man]

Lookin’ good!👍

Sweet!

I may have to maiden the F-22 and the SR-71 at Flite Fest 2025, which is fast approaching.
Been busy getting planes and gear ready for that.

 

[Mr Man]

Nice!👍

 

[noahangel11]

Flight of F-22 at Flite Fest validated the design, it flew well……until I lost orientation and crashed it in a farm field far far away.

Stay tuned for release of plans.

It looked great at flitefest!

Cool! Are you going to build it again and get us a flight video?

 

[noahangel11]

Yes. At the moment I am recovering from Flite Fest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Yes. At the moment I am recovering from Flite Fest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cool! I can't wait to try my SR-71! (BTW did you try yours yet?)

 

[noahangel11]

Cool! I can't wait to try my SR-71! (BTW did you try yours yet?)

I have not. I ran out of time at FF to maiden it, turns out it needed more completing than I had time for when I ran into some wiring issues on it.

 

[Mr Man]

Nice job on the plans!!

 

[Mr Man]

Would you like this to be added to the MS design and build?
