[Mr Man]

I know I'm a bit late, but hopefully we can get it together quickly. link to main challenge

 

[Mr Man]

Done designing, Just working on making usable plans.

 

[Mr Man]

Some workable plans, should start building soon.

 

[Mr Man]

Here it is! Still need to make a 3d printed nose, and control linkages hooked up. Along with a hatch. But it’s coming together!

Nice!

 

[Mr Man]

It’s done!

 

[Mr Man]

Here are the plans, If you build this, just remember to start with the very back skin first.

 

[Mr Man]

Instruction sheet done! (well mostly) I've also included the file for the 3d printed nose.

 

[Mr Man]

Oops, forgot to mention that the dihedral is set by a roll of packing tape laid on it's side...

 

[Mr Man]

I'll fix it later.

 

[Mr Man]

Fixed and Updated.

 

[Jo's squadron]

dose it fly?

 

[Mr Man]

dose it fly?

Hope to fly it this week!

 

[Mr Man]

Well this didn’t fly, not enough vertical stabilizer surface area, they also could’ve been in a dead spot where there were too many vortexes blocking the airflow. I probably should’ve gone for the single vertical stabilizer variant.

 

[Mr Man]

Might modify it and give it a shot…

 

[Mr Man]

 

[Mr Man]

Gonna fix it today!

 

[FlyerInStyle]

Gonna fix it today!

Good luck on the maiden, I hope to see it fly in the next 2 days. Sadly time is running out as it always does...

 

[FlyerInStyle]

You might want to make the V-Stab bigger than it was in that picture though, it looks quite small

He’s indeed, I hope weather clears…
