Messerschmitt P.1092 30mm micro EDF Jet

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Here is my next project: the Messerschmitt P.1092! This WWII fantasy aircraft was designed during the war as some sort of single engine Me 262. There are five different designs of this plane, I am going to make a combination of number 2 and 5. I really like the engine placement, it looks unique, but fits perfectly with the shrunk down 262 fuselage. However, Im going to change some things. Im going to use the nose of Nr.5, but enlarge the air intakes, to allow the EDF to breathe. I also dont like bubbletop canopys, so Im going with the much smoother canopy of Nr.2. To power it, im going to use a 30mm EDF and a 3s LiPo. I hope it takes it, because its only made for 2s. Wingspan is going to be around 50cm, and its going to be a belly lander.

Nr.2

Nr.5

I already have all my materias and I will start the build today. Plans will come, too!

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Its already coming together...

What a cute little jet

 

[Grifflyer]

This is going to be really cool!!

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

I think the maiden will happen tomorrow! Airframe is done, EDF is installed, all thats left are the control surfaces and the hatch!

The wing is build just like the master series wing, but out of one sheet so that there is a clean leading edge. I also used a little carbon fibre as a spar.

I really like this, looks big enough to handle a 50mm if needed. Hope the test flights go well.

50 is too big, the thrust tube of the 30mm fits perfect into the plane and a 50 would also need more air, which cant go through the inlet. In fact, this plane is pretty small, its just one sheet of foam, and its smaller than a sparrow.

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Almost done! Looks like i can test it tomorrow.

Super nice build my dude👍 Was waiting for somebody to do a micro EDF project. Can't wait to see how she flies! After my twin engine project I will be attempting a micro EDF. I may do the HP-115 or the Lockheed D-21 super sonic drone thingy because they would handle somewhat familiar. Others I am considering are the BAC-TSR2, F94 straight wing fighter, or something forward swept. Let me know what it's like building and flying micro EDF jets!

 

[jfaleo1]

Yeah that is pretty small and not much intake. On something like this I'm always thinking more thrust is better but maybe not in this case. I like the wing to stabilizer ratio and the longer tail moment, wing is small compared to fuselage but in scale though. Whats wing loading look like?

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

I got it done, but the maiden was a little bit of a fail.
Video will come tomorrow!

Flying weight is 200 gramms!

 

[Fluburtur]

With no tail controls I can guess it had some control issues.

 

[jfaleo1]

Looks like it’s elevator and ailerons, Servo for elevator is inside fuselage.

Looking forward to the video, trouble shoot and try again as needed.

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

With no tail controls I can guess it had some control issues.

Its bank and yank, there is an elevator servo. I still need to figure out the right CG, but it flew, it just could not turn. It felt like the bad things of noseheavy and tailheavy mixed together, but I hope that I can make it fly good soon.

 

[jfaleo1]

It could have too much vertical area ahead of the center of lift. That might make it reluctant to turn. You could try adding a rudder and couple it too the ailerons, or add significant differential to the ailerons ( more up than down ) this will create more yaw during aileron movement. Just some thoughts off the top of my head. good luck I really want this one to work.

 

[Fluburtur]

Yeah, some planes just dont want to turn without rudder so it could be a good idea to add that.

 

[synjin]

Looks cool! I've wanted to make a Messerschmitt P.1106. I wonder how the v-tail would work out?

 

[FoamyDM]

How's it coming?

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

How's it coming?

Weather is really bad right now, so I couldnt test it more. I want to extend the nose to move the battery and the CG more forward. Hooefully, that will fix it.

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

So I scrapped this project, it just didnt fly well. But I might build it later in a bigger size.
