Easy Foamboard Wing Airfoil: the Basic Version

Part 0 (a basic intro to the Armin Wing concept). A really quick and simple way to build an actual airfoil for an RC airplane wing. For a rectangular wing it's at least as easy to make and as strong as a KF airfoil and has the proven high-lift design approximating the "Clark-Y" airfoil used on many real and RC airplanes. Videos to follow will include improvements that take a little extra time but will make the wing more aerodynamic, water resistant, and have an integral control surface for flaps and ailerons. This is just the wing construction - overall airplane design is up to the builder!

Great videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I've been looking over on the internet for easy and cheap fpv planes builds and your designs look so nice and simple! I guess you put a lot of efforts, trials (and errors?) to refine this. I hope I'll soon be able to send you a video of your plane flying over the Ardennes (where I live in France). Keep up the good work!!

@bendunia It would make me extremely happy to see that video! I and some other guys are having good success with the Peace Drone for FPV flying. It is not hard to build if you can find the right foamboard. When you do, please tell me where you got it so I can help other builders around the EU. I'm sure you'll also appreciate the canard design - a French word and a French invention! Also see video for Armin Wing part 9 for the accidental French flag in the thumbnail.

Fantastic videos and easy to follow. I built my very first Armin wing today and WOW, I can't find the words to express how well your build techiniques worked. In Canada, it is of course winter now and with your helpful videos, my friends and I will have a new plane to fly in the snow.

@RCPrairieFlyyer That's great to hear!  I hope we can see your creation soon. I wish you blue skies and warm fingers!

WoW!!!

Thank you !!!

More videos!!!

This is Awesome Bro,just what I needed I'm going to start building my own foamies soon

[Boot2yourHead]

Keep'em coming great stuff this is just what i needed to see.

@Snoppus Hey, that's a brilliant idea! Did you also tape the outer surface of the bend? If you can describe it a little, and define the depth of material removed, maybe I can add a Depron version video.

excellent video more please
