Full weight 350g. I hope that after gluing the outer sections of the wings, add reinforcements to the center and supports for the suggestion rubber the weight does not exceed 500g. I think it goes very well for taking into account that the plane indicates a weight of between 22 and 25oz (623g - 709g)
The Gentle Lady is almost finished. Yesterday there were more advances in the fuselage and wings. I love the slim shape and the smooth curves.
The total weight including electronics is 376g, but I will have to add some weight on the nose for balance. So I assume I can get to 450g maximum.
The original plane should weigh between 623g and 709g so I think I am fine. Even if I reach 500g I would still maintain a favorable weight.
I also plan to cover the leading and trailing edges with paper and glue for reinforcement. Especially the trailing edge.
Gracias amigo, No, it is not ready yet. Need to work on wing join a a bit more. Also i want to cover the trailing and leading edge od the wings with paper.
Will keep u updated.
Hello to all!
Finally the maiden was last Saturday. With a final weight of 480g, I flew magnificently. . We tried several hand launchings, all of them perfect. It was a little windy, so we had a little extra help.
We still have to reinforce the central union of the wings, but everything has been a success.
Thank you my friend! yes we are very happy with the result! it flew really smooth.
the last test we made was pull it up with a tow line but wings did not resist the stress. that-s why i must reinforce it.
Will try again next saturday.
