Vimana89 Arrowhead Tailed Delta(Tried and Tested, Plans Released!)

[The Hangar]

I've never heard of v tails being more maneuverable, but it wouldn't hurt to test.

Well now you have.

Nice! Have you flown it yet and if so, how did it do?

Haven't had a chance to yet. I have high hopes for this one though, mostly because I didn't design it haha.

It's one of my favorites!

Can't wait to see that in action! I've gotten better recently at high alpha using just the standard 3ch ailerons setup. I'll have to post some footage again here soon

I need the weather to improve so I can hit the field with this or any other plane .

Just a quick question for my V-Tail build, you said something about thrust angle a while ago. What should the thrust angle be on this? I didn't have any on mine which probably is the source of all my problems.

Give it some right thrust angle.

The thrust angle should be the same as you would for any tractor prop configuration, a tiny bit down and right(not sure the exact degrees, I usually eyeball it and can differ a tiny bit on plane and motor). Maybe for reference print out and/or use the FT power pod for a tractor mounted motor, it should have thrust angle on it like it does in kits,but I'm not sure.

Just use the mini power pod, that's what I do .

I think Grifflyer said earlier on this thread 2° right and 1° down

That's what I generally use as a baseline for all my planes, I'll adjust the angle as needed after a few flights.

I guess that's where I'll start then.

Not for standard sized planes, right? (Not like you’ve successfully designed any B or C pack sized single engines planes ). I have gotten into the habit of adding a little bit of right thrust angle to my power pods though.

Giant "square" plane at FF was quite successful 😉

I don't want the best combat plane to fall into the hands of others.
