First Flight Flying Wing (home made) experiment

[Comfortkingach]

cool wing do you have plans and specs

[wildhover]

@Comfortkingach i think i got the basic measurements from rcgroups a long time ago. i have a newer wing that I'm experimenting on and will soon have a PDF of my B-2 wing available.

its not the plane thats wrong, its the pilot

[wildhover]

@fasterharderstronger it was probably a combination of me not knowing what i was doing plus trying to find the COG. this was my 1st scratch build. ahh the good ol'

i meant "the good ol days"- fat fingers on my touch screen phone

Well done buddy. How did you cut the airfoil? Did you use a hot wire bow?

[wildhover]

@Iboxx i just used a sharp razor blade

[alikill]

Good job mate

[wildhover]

thanks for the compliment! this was my very first scratch build ever without plans that got me hooked on this hobby

[vladik134]

wow did you really made it by yourself?

[wildhover]

yup, i just read a few specifications on some flying wing kits and followed their same wingspan. i drew the rest out on the foam and cut it out, glued it together, and crashed hard the first 2 times. this video is of the third one. the most difficult part was finding the right center of gravity, and when i did, it finally flew (seen here on the vid).
