What Did You Design Today?

[FishbonesAir]

Guess what this is! Houndpup RC and MrMan, don't answer, you already know:
It still needs tail surfaces tho

U2 Spy plane.

U2 Spy plane.

Correct, but I just found out that I dunno how to make proper airfoils yet so the U-2 design is postponed indefinetely until I figure out how to make proper airfoils.

A high aspect ratio wing with a "proper" airfoil?
Perhaps you need to use a different (and thinner?) foam board.
Not a U2 but still 2.2m span.

All made from 3mm Depron sheet and no carbon! The spar is a balsa/Depron/balsa composite.

I mean, I still haven't learned learned to make good airfoils. So my next build will [robably a flat wing delta, like an F-20 or IAI Kfir

I just eyed up what looked good with the SR-71...I hope it flies good!

Almost any wing section is better than a flat plate.
If your board is both thick enough and with a degree of flexibility a perfectly good wing section can be made like this.

Simples! Basically just 4 parts. Top and bottom skins and two webs to create the wing section..
The main problem is arranging clamps to hold it together whilst the glue sets.
This is the wing as used in a lightweight scale EDF.

A Hawker Sea Hawk.

Man, That hawker sea hawk is beautiful!

Working on V2, should fly better and build easier, and look better too! (never flown v1)

V2?

 

[Mr Man]

V2?

Yup! Making another P-40! (complete hopefully really scale redesign)

Cool!

Update.

Lookin good! Doing it Overstreet style?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Didn't FT already do one of these?

I believe they did a mini Master Series, other than that it was the normal swappable.

Kinda, It's a mix of Overstreet and 13thsquadron

Whoops, it was a P-47 they did 😂

 

[Mr Man]

Quick update.

What's the difference?

 

[Mr Man]

What's the difference?

Well, I use a center pod Like 13th, but sections like John..
