Matt Carlton Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Well I finally got round to doing the odd bits that needed doing. Just needs a motor, lipo, prop to finish off. Quite pleased with how it turned out. I owe a lot to Peter Miller for inspiration and pinching construction ideas!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be lovely I agree, although possibly a bit large. Maybe the FA-30 would fit. But it would need a redesign. Which it does anyway to be honest.

kc Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That's a very neat looking plane ......I reckon the RCME editor will be looking for you to submit plans when it's flight proven! Interesting aileron shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Oh, it's certainly not up to that standard and I would need to completely redesign it, there are a lot of areas where the plan didn't work and I had to bodge it. Aileron shape was really dictated by trying to get more area as far outboard as possible. Flutter was a possibility so they are solid, but I made a rubbish job of them. But, it's all my own work, so even if it does no more than fly "ok" and get consigned to the cupboard of bad experiences, then I'll have learned a lot from it. I can draw some very pretty aeroplane shapes, but making those into actual aeroplanes is another story altogether! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra slim Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That’s a very pleasing looking plane, but will it dive down and swipe my chips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
