New project concept - just thinking out loud
« on: December 19, 2010, 08:10:07 PM »
Here is a sketch for a twin electric forward swept flying wing stunter.  I have had great results from this basic concept in both CLPA and slope soaring and even free-flight.  See the 1/2A forum for my latest "wet" model.

However, there are some real advantages to going a twin once you are flying E-power, so why not combine all that into one big disaster... umm... concept?

I see this as either twin .061 or .09 equivalent power, full fuselage, geodetic wing D-tube for rigidity.  (Where is Bob Hunt when you need him?)   Area about 300 sq.in., should fly on 55' of .012 line.  I expect that it will do the full pattern in totally competitive style (flown by someone with that cabapility, not me, being "Designman" not "Pilotman")
Think S.M.A.L.L. y'all and, it's all good, CL, FF and RC!

Don't know about flying wings... but if you could fit a canard on the bipe...
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.
