FT-EZ Three Pack Plans?

[SP0NZ]

Will you be releasing DXFs as well as PDFs?

Sure, I can release DXFs for this.

Fight tested the EZ glider... It works!

CG = 1 1/4" back from leading edge of wing next to the fuselage. Use high rates.

 

[Aviator08]

Next one.... It flys also.

V1.1 - fixed some structural issues.

Flys good in little to no wind.

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

I really like that glider, I think that’ll be the first one I’ll make when my kit arrives.

Hi Aviator,

Question for you. Does the main wing have dihedral ?

Thanks, Al

Hi Aviator,

Thanks, Al

Hi Al,

Yes it does. About an inch, maybe just a tad more.

 

[Aviator08]

I know, I know..... I'm dreaming again. with 30mph winds this week I don't think I will get to try it soon.

ok, so explain the trick for making it switch from a pusher config to a tractor? do you get diff props? or plug in diff?

mine will be arriving in the mail tomorrow and want to start making some of these.

thanks,

me

I was planning on using the motors on the same side as in the pusher configuration and just flipping the prop over. Haven’t tried it yet though.

 

[The Hangar]

Is there any reason why all the FT designs are pushers?

 

[mrjdstewart]

well @SP0NZ designed a tractor so i assume it is possible.

 

[SP0NZ]

Tractor works fine. The trick is swapping and flipping the props.

Not sure why all the ones Josh designed are pushers.

perfect, thank you!

[mrjdstewart]

what are we saying for an optimal weight? how many grams before it becomes a brick?

again, thanks.

I'm thinking it might reduce prop damage, having something between the props, and the inevitable.

Yeah, that's what I was assuming. Do you know if you can get replacement props?

 

[The Hangar]

Also, it seems pretty hard to break a prop on it. I mean you can hit a tree, wall, or something but no nose dives!

 

[AIRFORGE]

Good question! I haven't looked for, or even thought about replacement props.
