FT-EZ Three Pack Plans?

[The Hangar]

Thanks! Just watched your Simple Stik with floats video - very nice flying. A foam model? Plans? Thx, rick

Thanks! Yes - it’s made out of foamboard and here’s a link to the plans:

Any chance of getting your pdf plans for the Corsair? Love that airplane!


Thanks! rick

Nice! Looks like the wing might work well on my Tiny Trainer. Gonna get a couple of servos and find out. Thanks, rick

Downloaded the Corsair - thanks!

Question - in addition to your dxf and pdf files, can you export obj files?
Asking as I could then import the 3D objects into Blender and quickly turn Phoenix models.

Thanks, rick

I think I have it mostly sorted out. I need to clean it up a little, but I think it’s going to work.

 

[Mr.Grinch]

I like this glider, just waiting on batteries to charge.

Hi Al,

That was my fault. Apparently I didn't save it at 1:1 scale. I have removed the old PDF file and inserted the new one. This should work for you.I will include it here also.

Hi Tim,

I have another question for you. What is the cg of this plane ( ez glider ) ? I have my plans printed out.

Thank you again for your help with the prints,
Al

EZ glider maiden went ok, but needed more nose weight and a little down trim on the horizontal. Gusty winds certainly didn’t help at all. SeaChuck faired worse. Couldn’t achieve powered flight. Too much nose weight caused an immediate nose in and dislodged the wing and snapped at the center dihedral. Hopefully next attempt will go better.

I can't export to obj files, but can export to .ai and .svg files if that helps any.

CG = 1 1/4" back from leading edge of wing next to the fuselage. Use high rates. Fly at 2/3rds throttle, climb at 3/4 - full throttle.

You can if you can zip them, I believe.

I bought the basic power pack and it arrived very quickly. I have been putting together a couple designs, and will test soon. Here are the DXF files if anyone wants to try them out. ( CG has not been verified yet.) I will post final pdf plans once I have confirmed they fly properly. This is pretty cool , can't wait to send these to my young grand kids.

Could we get the EZ Bipe pdf please? Thanks, rick

Next one.... It flys also.

Flys good in little to no wind.

CG = 1” back from leading edge. Use high rates.

And the EZ A-10 pdf as well? Thanks in advance! rick

.svg might help as I can import that into Blender, but thought that was 2d and I was hoping to get your 3d objects. Thanks, rick

EZ glider was a success!! The wind finally died down this evening. Just got an almost 10 min flight before the rain started. I was about to try the SeaChuck again, but the rain is picking up as the sun is going down.

Yea!!

I only have 2D objects. It's what I use for my laser cutter.

No worries - I'm good to go with pdf's then. Congrats on the successful glider flight! rick

If you have Phoenix, unzip and install the pkg file and you'll find "FT EZ Glider" in the electric glider list.

I unzippped it... how do I install the pkg file?

Thanks,

Sweet - be sure to post your progress!
