Home Made RC Flying Wing

[justfly60482]

nice

[jmurphy914]

WOW bro! future rocket scientist? Good job!

[megaflyer99]

if you throw it will it return to you? ;)

[CrunchieDan]

Did you actually home make it, or buy it as a kit?

[mahomedia]

for vertical flight takeoff and landing it's very hard to do. so the pushing force is under the gravitation center so a little horizontal force will kill your gliders balance. vertical flights are made with puler propellor planes so when you try to stay verticaly stable, the pulling force is above the gravitation center then you only need to get rid of bank axis force caused by the torque of the motor. If you don't have elerons below the propellor your plane will turn like crazy in bank axis.

[mahomedia]

thanks to everybody commented on my video :)

I'm really sorry for you camera ChristopherClausColm, I'll take care of the soundtracks of videos for you :D

I cut the foam with hot wire. I bought a resistence wire and put 20 volts and 5-6 ampers on it to make it hot, than cut the foam, this is the most boring part of the job so sometimes you can't cut the same profile due to cutting speed and wire temperature etc. So it's better to find a CNC sytem to cut wings..

[AwesomeCoasters]

Very importantly, how did you cut the foam?

[AwesomeCoasters]

Dude I'm making an rc flying wing too =D

Right now I'm doing the plans.

It's going to be thin (+-60mm with no vertical wings, for the ''rudder'' I'll make the electric motor pivot left and right with the third servo)

Shaped like a triangle

Able to do vertical takeoffs & landings (by flying vertically on the prop, if it works alright)

Equipped with retractables

Do you have any advice to give me?

[emowings4]

how do u stop it???

[mahomedia]

It can slowdown very good and in the last moment I pull the stick and it flares before drop down. if you do this procedure good you can land it easily, so it can fly very slow.

[Freerunner72]

Nice your elevons are big! What did you build it with? foam? (i loved your first throw i thought it was doomed!)

Free

[norstaroption]

Which one is a good starter Wing Plane? With motor or without?

[mahomedia]

Without motor is good idea, so light wing is better for starting. You probably will hit the plane somewhere in first flights and light wing will be stronger than heavy wing. I was hit myself with wing in first flight :P

[ChristopherClausColm]

Thanks for that Vid, i loved the Video, and my wife loved the Audio, and danced around in her nighty for it. Bonus!

[mahomedia]

:D cool!

[tuneneboricua]

you didnt record the dancing? shame on you

[ChristopherClausColm]

I tried, and when she saw, she grabbed the Camera, and through it out the window to the rocks below :(

[joseico90]

What wing section did you use?

Thanks.

[mahomedia]

I have used S5010. Not very speedy but very good gliding capabilities and low energy consumption. A have flyed 45 minutes on a flat surface with some help of thermals :)

[mahomedia]

No it's actually not necessary. If you don't use large propeller it wouldn't be a problem..

[historysky]

hey do i have to mount the motor at a certain angle to cancle the torque?? pleasee reply btw your plane is awesome

[Freerunner72]

this is from 7 months ago, but i would mount it with 2-3 degrees right thrust and 5 degreed don thrust for non pusherprop planes :)

[geekfish]

Learn the wing toss, much safer.... Nice model...

[eihcnurc]

i had the ervine x ite changed it from the electric to pure glider was awsome used to dogfight with my uncle who had the zagi was awsome i lost it now 25 mph winds and alot of lead in the front loool :D

[ceroshaper]

Very impressive. I can't believe something that minimalist can be so stable. Very sleek, fast, and novel. Nice work.

[alikill]

Yeah I second that!

[MDawg1212]

wow thats pretty cool, but launching looks retarted and it doesnt look like its very fast or manuverable...

[cheeset6]

i want to see you make one

[walkandlookup]

I agree, they are fantastic. for plans look aroud on internet there are replica plans and building instructions.

[scalefreak]

Nice "Zagi".....I had one, but mine was the pure glider version.....and it actually would thermal okay, but it did not indicate thermal very well.

[Danwynne]

nice job! nice flying. keep up the great work!

[kys890123]

rc companys would want that idea u could get rich

[mahomedia]

which idea do you mean??

[andrewbradford]

probably, but hey he could make millions, but y are the wings so expensive?

[andrewbradford]

becasue there pretty uncommon on most hobby sites

[austinpowers1977]

there not expencive if u get them from flyingwingsdotcodotuk.

[808FlyBy]

what slope is that? is it uk? reminicent of Devils Dyke s downs.

[mahomedia]

Slope is in Turkey. 1 km from my home. Here is extremely suitable for soaring :) There are many slopes around...

[mrtapehead]

What carbon fiber strips did you use and how did you attach them?

[mahomedia]

I'm a civil engineering student, I'm working a master program in university. We are using carbonfiber strips to reinforce concrete in our experiments. I get some unusable strips from our lab. CF strips are "SikaWrap 230C" used in structural reinforcement. I used "SikaDur 330" epoxy produced to use with these strips.

[mrtapehead]

Thanks, I have used the Dave Brown carbon fiber strips on my sky fly. We have crashed and run into stuff, wing holds up well. Very cool vid, and I like your plane.  Looks like it is easy to fly.

[mahomedia]

This is not a kit. It's my own design. I cut foam with hot wire and used carbon fiber strips to reinforce the wing. Then covered with color tape.

[astralninja]

from a kit? or home-made from scratch?? How did you mold the wings?

[caneratilgan]

Tebrikler Mumy. Harika birsey yapmissin. Birlikte de yapsak böyle bisey...

[bullzye01]

yeah it was limpbizkit thanks for that

[bullzye01]

yeah thanks for that it was LimpBizkit.

[mahomedia]

i can't remember, it's probably limpbizkit.

[bullzye01]

nice wing & nice video ... hey what is sound track in the video ? thanks

[rcblades]

nice vid

[mahomedia]

electrifly 20 size AMMO 4300kV

[p2ku]

whats the engine?
