FT Piggy Accessory Challenge

If you've ever wondered what the pressure distribution on a pig flying at 44 mph looks like

Mr Man's estimate of 80 mph with a 2 kw power system seems right on the money

 

[Noah - Flite Test]

How about a biplane pig?!

DO IT! But would the second wing go on top or below the piggy?

 

[Noah - Flite Test]

is the stl the right size? No resizing needed?

Yes the STL piggy should be at the right size. I will check with Dave tomorrow.

Do BOTH and have a TriPiggy!

Does anyone know if they have released a build video yet ?

Yep 2kw if energy, and 120 bucks of power system 😂

We are releasing the build Videos today! I will link them once they are up!

The thing is I would have to design a different wing because the one in the STL is attached to the pig so I can't copy it. Any way you could separate it from the pig?

I checked and it looked pretty close (maybe a few mm off)

Awesome! Thanks!

Here's the Piggy on its own. Ears are a bit modified but probably doesn't matter for a biplane version.

I was thinking of trying to design some LW-PLA 3D printed wings for it to make it a bit less of a handful than it looks so I could try and fit an EDF inside, but who would have guessed, a pig just isn't very aerodynamic - absolutely zero chance that a single EDF would give enough thrust to fly well with a reasonable power system.

You should be able to subtract the fuselage from the wings to get just the wings.

Thank you so much @telnar1236 !

I didn't see the STL? Did you post it somewhere else possibly?

I’m still working on it 👍.

Currently designing a coin to go on the top, but can;t desire what logo to put on the reverse…

One side of the coin could be the front of the pig and the second side could be the backside of the pig... It would be a true Heads or Tails

Not a bad idea!
