Hey guys, after bashing the heck out of our original FT Flyer I made some alterations to it. I added ailerons and reduced wing and tail size. The new design flew well and survived two additional outings. We finally killed it this past week when the wings folded in high winds.
Enter version 2.0, I built the original Flyer again and then made my mods. I cut the wing more squared this time and added larger ailerons. I also reduced the tail again. This time however I doubled up the wing thickness partially which created a K foil as well. I also sanded the leading edge on the lower wing to reduce drag. Hopefully it will give us a little more reinforcement in higher winds. The first picture is the original mod, the rest are 2.0
