Scary delta

[Houndpup Rc]

Don't people usually use them for fpv recordings like on the versa wing/spear..

in that case you can use a micro insta 360 or a DJI action 2 or a Gopro bones (Or the gopro hero 11 mini)

might not work at 100mph though...

if you fly slow, it works pretty well:

On the above triangle thing: Won't tail sit without more air over the flaperons while at low airspeed. Dual rate huge surfaces? Prop in a slot isn't helping either. Looks like fun to fly, except I kept loosing orientation due to shape

Yo!! Nice work bisco... anyways this design is going to have a massive overhaul, way more sensible than just scrapping it.

Just fill the slot with foam and reinforce, extend the nose with an einzpfiel canopy I had lying around (forgot to mention this is an EDF conversion) , straighten the base so it looks like a triangle instead of a diamond, increase elevons size, add water and stir!

Should be fun! A big THANK YOU to you guys for your contributions, will keep you updated!

Don't know if you're into round or rounder fuselages, but if so, you could make an awesome tractor with a DIY pointy spinner. Kinda has an anime vibe to it. So, you going to end up the delta guru or something?

Just pointy/spikey for me thanks 👍👍

I like pointy/spikey pushers 😂. They have a lot of potential for speed.

Tractor has a bunch of efficiencies not available to pushers, so technically they should be faster. Notice is said technically, as opposed to absolutely. There is always an outlying factor in efficiency

Yup, tractors are supposed to be better, but pushers can be more aerodynamic. So I’d say they’re about the same 👍

You also like cutting the wingspan of your wings to get more speed... Let's be friends!! 😁😁

 

[AMMO193]

Yes tractors are faster and help alot with C.G, but pushers are great when you want the aesthetics of putting led afterburners beside the motor

WOW! That looks Brilliant!

Thanks! Basically my take on the novajet by rcFoamFighters, sadly it crashed because I lost orientation... She was a zoomer!!

Those afterburners are neat looking - not sure I've seen afterburners with a pusher prop done that way before.
Spiky looks good, but it's not the best aerodynamically. Highly swept designs are only really good for speed at very high speeds where compressibility becomes a problem - at low speeds rounder designs are much better. However, so much of what we do with RC is about aesthetics and looks so I go for pointier designs not infrequently

LEDs on the back are great for FPV chasing. Something I need to do....

great artwork!
