got my eagle V2.2 done this one glides much better then the last one did should have flight report next weekend
Made it out to fly yesterday I could not find the cg for the life of me I could do a straight glide from my hand but the second I would go to turn it gout all sorts of twitchy. I moved the cg as far forward as I could I actually had to add up trim to stop it from nosing in and still the same when I would add input. So I think this airfoil is not going to work on the eagle but my fuse mods helped out it had a few rough landings and the fuse took them. I am going to try a ag36 foil next. I have some video but its not worth the watch.
I don't think it's the wing design, I could be wrong, the V-Tail can be finicky to set at correct angle, it's possible though that that high airfoil disrupts the airflow going to the tail. hard to tell without vid. CG should be same as KFm wing. Another possibility might be motor angles. Of all the Eagles i have experimented with, the T tail's still fly the best.
It's been almost 2 years and my bird still flies
Jamboree1 thank you for the inspiration and SPONZ, thank you for the plans. I built the Eagle from your plans using the Water Resistant Foam Board ...
