Going fast with a bloody baron was a bad idea

It fall to pieces?

Yeah lol. The plane has a speed limit that I exceeded haha. It only had a couple flights left on it so I put a bigger prop on it and sent it

@Battery800 and I were able to get a successful maiden flight of his Cormorant II yesterday! The left motor was spooling harder than the right, which is the probable cause for the issues encountered. After recalibrating both, it had a successful maiden! The split flaps seemed to work well at providing extra drag for approach and landing, and had very little associated pitching moment compared to the fowlers I have on mine. We maidened on a small 3s, it should really come into its element once it's put on 4s. @Battery800 nice meeting you and best of luck with future flights!

Alright, so I got a couple of flights on the cormorant yesterday. I needed to move the battery forward a bit but other than that it flew well... until the right wing started to fold at the aileron servo. So I glued a paint stick to the top and tried again, and it was much better, and I didn’t break anything. I might need to make another one because of the water damage is causing all of the control surfaces to delaminate but I would recommend either making the wingtips thicker or moving the servo a bit so you can fit a wooden spar of some sort

In the future, I think a 72 ish model could be made with four nacelles of the same size or power pack b motors, solving the problem of the propellers hitting the ground

@Quinnyperks you gave me the wings right? I think the purple one is fine but the blue one is broken. I might use the purple wing for a power pack b trainer

Yeah that was me.

 

[Battery800]

Yeah that was me.

Cool. I just have really bad memory with people

@bracesport @Crawford Bros. Aeroplanes @Natedog
Has. Anyone here build a slow flying electric glider with a HotWired wing and a PPF?

Finally got some non blurry photos from last Friday

I always put a 6mm cf strip into the spar, I don't trust just a foam one

 

[Quinnyperks]

Almost done with the primer and base coat on the cub. This is the final scheme.

@Quinnyperks how did the shinden go?

 

[Quinnyperks]

@Quinnyperks how did the shinden go?

Not well, I currently own a wingtip. The steering didn’t work and we just gave up.

Oh that’s a bummer. I was hoping to see a crazy, rare, and giant rc model and maybe even a giant crash
