Please, give an idea on what plane i should build!!

[leaded50]

as most of you perhaps know, unique planes is of interest.
I dont see the reason for building another version of eg a P-51 Mustang, its many of it made, plans easy to be found... in many versions.


Come up with idea of what plane YOU want me to build, and if wants, a reason or what does it special why, is always ok too.

the rutan voyager, the first plane around the world nonstop

My vote is for the BV-141, probably one of the most asymmetrical planes ever made IMO , doesn't look like it should fly at all.

or the Italian Flying Barrell

I vote that one up too. that was my second recommendation

 

[Ratcheeroo]

Or perhaps one of the first VTOL aircraft , Lockheed XFV

There was another similar to that also, the Lippisch Aerodyne

Would a model of a model count? How about a big foamboard version of an old-timer free flight like Carl Goldberg's Valkyrie? A real lazy floater, but I suppose it might be adjusted for radio control to perform over more speed ranges, without the lifting stab. And smoooooth, maybe with lengthwise foamboard planking on the fuse instead of stacked conical sections?

I've wondered if cutouts could be made in foamboard wing panels, and then covered with transparent colored film, to give that smooth quazi-balsa look?

no, the convair xfy pogo, it actually completed tests and performed much better

Forgot about that one , just watched a video about it recently too last week.

Rutan Voyager is hard to make in foamboard, since its surfaces is small, but long. It will need much internal reinforces. its like make a "3000mm X 50mm" wing .
Then i would rather made the carrying plane for the Virgin spaceship.

thats just a EDF with wings.

oh. ok. then that is out. the xfy pogo is the exact opposite though.

some of this early VTOL ideas can be interesting yes...but also planes who would be hard using without fully electronic stabilizations.

its just that the xfv failed miserably during testing and the convair pogo succeeded, so it might be easier to make fly

to make this flyable is quite discussable by normal rc electronics, without flightsystem/ directional thrust ports. Its more a tecnical digital experiment in RC than making a plane.

model of a model isnt unpossible . about making cutouts in foamboard wingpanels and use colored film... thats possible.. BUT, by the cutouts you loose the strength of the foamboard wing...
Foamboard planking on the fuse is possible, but will give higher weight, since all planks need be glued together.
The idea here, in my experince isnt good ideas to make a plane for good use. just for anorher way of making a fomboardplane.. even if not better

I second the Blom und Voss!

the BV-141.... by a search on this forum... a few have started/done/or just planned such a build. Spacewalker, unrauv , eg...This guy eg at the 2018 Flite Test Forum Challenge: WWII Design & Build ... ( https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/spacewalkers-bv-141.37406/page-2 ) soo, it isnt unique for the forum either.....

yes true, but none scale looking like your planes
