There's only one way to find out!

Yup!

yes only one way to find out....................

 

[Zoom Master]

There's only one way to find out!

and thats by building it

 

[Mr Man]

btw how far along have u gotten in ur speed build ?

Gonna restart, couldn’t get it to balance (nose heavy, gonna put the 3536 in it) But am hoping to start on #2 soon!

If @Captain J can get those plans out….

Except for my rocket plane. I’m almost done with that. (Need to solder clips to ends of brushed esc)

What size engine?

 

[Mr Man]

What size engine?

E sized, (D for maiden)

 

[L Edge]

E sized, (D for maiden)

Are you aware that the D and E have the same max thrust , so if your weight is oversized, it won't lift off. My weight was 121.8 grams and you saw what mine did. You better take a video of yours. I found that my model has quite the velocity based on all the info. Trying to talk to Estes engineer and see if he agrees and can give me a gut feeling on height.

Yes I am, the E engines just have more burn time. And It won’t launch from ground, will be dropped from midair.|

hmm nice u better take a good video for us to see and plz tell me the plane isn't made out of foamboard.........

Been there, tried that. Way too dangerous, did shuttle(no engine) but the way that thing moves, it could kill someone. Yours being heavier, could be released and nose dive,flip? and head for the ground. Add speed say 300ft/sec plus straight down, not worth it.

It’s a delta wing, (v3 SpeedWing) and I’m gonna see if it’ll glide well first. If It’s a no-go, then I won’t do any powered tests.

It is….. With a steel spar.

just make sure the shear heat of ur engine doesn't melt ur plane...... and not to mention the electronics....

seems like u really like delta wings

They’re stable 👍

Yup, it’s in a 3d printed mount, and the ejection charge (don’t have any without) gets blown through an opening in the bottom of the plane.

true and they can reach very high speeds as well

 

[Mr Man]

Yup!
