Wing

[sukhoi69]

A few pics of the Depron wing I am building. I am putting a Hyperion Hotliner motor I have laying around in it. Should really get up and go.

Hey, nice build you got there!

Looks quite like a jet/wing middle thing (rhyme whoooa!!!)

Do you already know which components you´re using and what size the plane got

 

[sukhoi69]

Thanks. Wingspan is 82cm. It will be running elevons for control, a Hyperion motor out of a hotliner with an 8x4.5 or a 9x5 prop, 70amp ESC and 3000mah 4s lipo. Hope to get some decent speed out of it.
Cheers

 

[ananas1301]

You should get quite a lot of speed out of this! I might even doubt if any foam can resist that speed!
Anyway hope everything goes easy on the built! Especially on thos scratchbuilds you never know whats coming up

Very nice and clean build!

 

[sukhoi69]

The plan I got the idea from is good 120+ mph. I think this is a little lighter built so maybe squeeze a little more speed out of it.
Cheers

Wow that is like about 250 kph?

Thats fricking fast!!!!!!!!!!! You should measure that with GPS or a radar gun and make videos of that.

 

[sukhoi69]

Yes will post video's for sure and am currently looking for a radar gun.
Thanks

Pitty the motor is nearly $100 or I would go for the $100 challenge. Now I am thinking I should come up with something and try it.

 

[sukhoi69]

Slowly getting it done.

 

[ananas1301]

Nice stuff going on!

Keep it coming!

Interesting design. Look forwards to seeing it fly

 

[sukhoi69]

Ready for crash test.

 

[sukhoi69]

Well the "FLITETEST" was a disaster. I lost elevator control it just wouldn't pull up. I suspect a clevis let go. Well back to the beginning.

 

[bmsweb]

Ouch!

 

[sukhoi69]

All good, bigger better faster next time.

Thats what we like to hear! Never give up

Sorry for your plane. My dad crashed my depron plane as well once but I rebuilt it (look at the Event 3D build thread)
