That's beautiful! With a wing that long, you'd want the fuselage long enough to counteract. I'd get the wing tips as symmetrical as you can, and then extend the fuselage by six inches to the rear. Just stretch it out!
Yeah I was thinking I may as well use the simple soarer fuselage which is nice and long. But yeah I think I can probably just glue some extra FB on the stabs and get better stability. Onto the 120% build. ThanksThat's beautiful! With a wing that long, you'd want the fuselage long enough to counteract.

If you were then to straighten out the lines on the horizontal stabilizer, just enough to add some more stability? Wow! You may really be on to something, here!
Wow 31mins that’s amazing
. Looks good buddy.Awesome
Very nice! The TT is such a joy to fly. I imagine it's even better at 120%. I agree, 31 minutes is hugely impressive! I think the most I ever got was four or five minutes. Well done!
Keeping the throttle down and gliding at every chance helps but yeah I love this plane. I have a 150% TT but I made the wing really thick (thicker than the simple cub wing) and it had way too much drag. I think I might build a new wing for it but keep it really thin.
Stop flying full throttle all the time
.
It's so tempting though haha!Stop flying full throttle all the time
Your planes have a throttle??!!Stop flying full throttle all the time
I swear, mine just have a switch!
Keep on posting! You've got it going on, and you're out there doing it and pushing the envelope. That's what this thread is about!
Thanks, I'll have to experiment with bigger batteries/different props. Any suggestions? (Currently using 2200mah 3s with 8x6 prop and sunnysky 2216 1250kv motor.Keep on posting! You've got it going on, and you're out there doing it and pushing the envelope. That's what this thread is about!

Not really any tips of the top of my head but this data will surely help with my summer 200% TT build. Thanks!
I was wondering if you'd gotten to that project yet! The biggest tip I have is keep the wing thin.
I actaully wanted to beef it up and make it a touch taller to make it have more lift
. Why thinner?
Reduced drag would be my guess. The thicker wing won't really have much benefit on a plane this size but the added induced drag will make the motor work harder and reduce flight time.I actaully wanted to beef it up and make it a touch taller to make it have more lift
Makes sense
Yeah drag is a killer. I made my 150% Wing with a 30mm thick wing thinking more lift but it was super slow and needed a LOT of power (2814 1000kv motor with 13 inch prop), sure it had lift while it was moving, but keeping it moving was the problem. Keeping it thin let's it keep its momentum, but you are always free to experiment. I'm going to build another much thinner wing for the 150% tt, and hopefully it will only need a smaller motor because I burnt out the 2814I actaully wanted to beef it up and make it a touch taller to make it have more lift
