Background: Shooting for 12 designs which are an acrobatic and BWB no wings.
10) 4 engines plane - works and testing.
9) Whichway" control line plane modified to fly, need to be ahead to fly.
8) SR-71 Had long nose problems, just like large one, Best flown in no wind.
7) Bipe Flys just like a bipe, especially turns.
6) MagicJR slow, excellent in gusty winds.
5) B2 Spirit excellent control with no verticals
4) Bobcat good intermediate flyer.
3) X-29 long nose problems, flys just like SR-71, low winds
2) CircleLet Both planes have very high dihedrals
1) Easy Peasy which makes them excellent trainers.
Solving problems:
1) Can a FT transmitter control 2 units of FC? Used 3 FC's, switched pairs and it worked? Ran in house and with wife and phones, went outside about 200 ft and checked it, it worked. Listen for sync of all, plus changes in throttle plus rudder.
2) Enlarged plan.
Did 5 sizes and calc CG. This one was gut size feeling (short sides and longer). Fun part was to place electronics and balance 4 motor/props so all stuff is a go at 1/2 throttle.
Set my CG back limit to get lower 1/2 throttle so I can more thrust for up, maybe to do a loop.
2 DUCES READY TO LAUNCH IN CELLAR. Max distance is 42 ft to launch. Designed J shape blue taupe to catch plane, slide down and no damage done including props. You build, fly, crash, rebuild.
Mine is throw, fly, catch, fix if needed, otherwise, step back, throw, catch, etc.
My first throw at 2 ft, spun and slid down, (wrong prop on other red), set up and here is my throws at different lengths.. Did not adjust batteries and notice last throw I add DT to the right(low rate). Not even a scratch. Now to see what happens outside.
4 ENGINES ARE A GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
