How to make FT style plans?

[tomlogan1]

There's always TLAR..that looks about right. Width of the inside of the car minus wheel wells = Wing max or Fuse max size. Depth of inside of car from trunk/hatch to back of front seat or between seats to dashboard = Wing max size or Fuse max size.

Dihedral is the amount you have to bend the wings to fit in the previously described and highly accurate plans.🤣

🤣 it means wing cube loading

Oh okkk

Do you guys think it will fly?

Hmmmm, most planes this size would be sub 250g...Did you use adam's readi board foam?

Yeah, i figured out the hard way on other planes when i used foam cor. The wing is still heavy foam cor and the gear is just dead weight.

I maidened it and it was pretty short but it definently isnt totaled. It kept yawing right (anyone know why?) and again since im lazy it doesnt have a rudder. The tail is pretty weak so im going to re design that and make it bigger because a small tail might have been the problem. What do you guys think?

BTW are you doing this because you want to design your own? If not the FT Tiny Tudor plans are here and it looks like a pretty good design.

Could be if you don't have a thrust angle, your rudder isn't fully trimmed or you have a warp in your wing.

Thanks!

I had a tiny tutor but it was so beat up that it wouldnt fly straight. I’m designing this one to replace the TT because i think its crazy that the SBKs and plans are the same cost.

How about the ft mini commuter? It looks awesome, and can be a tail-dragger…..

But once you have the plans, you have them forever...They have to make it expensive enough so you discourage people from copying them and selling them.

Since when are the plans $20?

Can someone screen shot the plans prices for Spectator on the FTCA Portal, please? I can only see AirCrew.

No. I can see the membership info. I mean the price of the actual plans. I remember them being mostly $12. Some free, and some discount codes.
