Here at Floppy Hobbies we try a lot of things, and it rarely goes to plan.
Flying an Experiment STOL Concept Plane!
In this video, I build and fly a crazy STOL plane design! It uses a combination of slotted flaps and spoilers to achieve super slow speed flight and crazy steep descents!
We also had a meetup with @TailHeavyProductions to test out my plane against some steep competition. We had a lot of fun making this video, so enjoy!

Quick edit of a fun day of flying with friends at the field. First half is formation with the fpv on my spitfire, second half is screwing around with my Mobula 6. Cheers!

I bought a New Bee Tiny Whoop a couple of weeks ago, and it's been a blast to careen around the house at irresponsible speeds. Enjoy!
Flying a Homemade RC STOL Plane
Просмотров 1 тыс.Год назад
In this video, I fly a DIY plane that I like just as much as my store-bought planes. After lessons learned building other planes, I combined everything I knew into one plane and I was quite pleased with the result. Thanks for watching! STL's for mounting system and tail skid: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5934924 Unfortunately, the 2d plans for the aircraft were lost in a computer move a while back...
The one with the bigger wing is slower couse the wing is bigger. lower wingload.
Design and build video please!!
The Lockheed L-1011 had direct lift control somewhat similar to your power/spoiler concept. Also, spoilers don't work all that well for roll control on full size general aviation aircraft.
Can I know what programme ddid you use with the wing and the plane?
Wing build video with commentary would be amazing!
You make good vids
Looks like a faceted PZL-104 Wilga.
i love the kerbal space music
Oh I can start to feel a Mike Patey vibe with this one!
I'm no RC guy, but maybe you can build a magnetic battery connection that clicks together like the older microsoft surface tablet charge cords. Apple may be doing something like that as well. They also have some magnetic clasps for various ski helmets. Anyways, the idea was a bit of a whim after seeing you struggle with the battery connection. Appreciate the content!
also tilt the motor 1-2 degrees to the right to reduce p torque. this is because you use an electric motor. the induced drag on the flaps will increase the issue.
if you do this you can perform high alpha maneuver's.
your top speed brake needs to overlap with the controllable flaps. that's why it tipped forward as it provided downforce before the cg.
it will reduce control efficiency in terms of energy retention so you might need a larger battery.
if you want an easy fix, bend the gear slightly forward increasing the rake and reducing drag. it will increase speed and allow for a larger battery aft cg.
They actually do overlap! I only experience downforce issues if I'm travelling at high speeds when I extend the spoilers. I think that's because they act less to stall the top of the wing, and more to increase the pressure on top of it, making negative lift. At lower speeds, they just kill the lift and it works exactly how I wanted it to.
@@floppyhobbies that’s awesome. The f-16 style ailerons made me laugh seeing them on a high wing.
Good work. Consider me glued to your content!
the ksp music goes hard to this build. good choice lol
I believe NASA had a full-size aircraft using this called the MAW mission adaptive wing.
went so far to get proper flaps but no slats :(
Next time!
I have a TX 16 too, how do you program the spoilers? I have a large sailplane that I want to do that to, rudder alone isn't enough on breezy days.
So what I did was a I made a new entry in the inputs tab that I named SPLR. I set that up on a switch so that when I flicked the switch the channel value would change -100% to +100%. Then, I went to the spoilerons in the mixing tab, because I had a separate mix for each spoileron, and I mixed in the spoiler input. I hope that helps!
I want to take it a step further. Vacuum formed leading edge. Carbon fiber spars and monokote sheeting. If those V2 plans ever get released, I'll start work on building one.
cool stuff! :D you should check my 4m PC6 with 5,6kg takeoffweight
Brilliant. Well done, sir.
Dude my grandpa had one of these gliders with a 8ft wingspan and a nitro engine in it😭
Nice build.. Happy landings!
not exactly a concept if its been done to death in Alaska. Just saying.
What laser are you using?
I use a glowforge.
Can achieve the same characteristic's with a flat foam board, and this is before digital radio's being able to mix the channels. All I had was a two channel mixer board. but enjoyed the unique, experimental designs
The greatest man-made wing to ever taste air! Changing an aircraft's flight characteristics by changing it's wing shape! Just like the birds do!
you lost because you don't have leading edge slats.... Full Span Spoilerons is maybe excessive... perhaps a staged opening sequence would be more user friendly... (for round 2) but nicely done!
Wow Sometimes one thumbs up is not enough. For some reason I get my jollys from slow flight and this buid seems to defy the laws of physics. Would moving the main gear forward a 1/4 of an inch help ground handling? I hope hobbie grade manufacturers are watching you. Fly it like you STOL it. Cheers
“Thats some serious delta” - Made me laugh. BTW: Great Job!
nice work!
This is great! Nice development, good footage, funny video, keep at it!
thought i had ksp open in the background lol
LOL ... Love this stuff ... it's when you go nuts you learn something. Win some lose some.
Absolutely brilliant ! Great job Dude ! 😉🙃😎 NZ
nice wing mechanism there, but the low polygonized fuselage is also impressive!
is that the KSP build music? Beautiful
This is an awesome design! I've wondered how a design like this would do in foamboard. Any plans to share the plans/designs for this plane?
The plans are a total mess right now, some parts have plans and other parts I just made up on the spot as I was building it. I would like to make a V2 at some point, and I'll probably make better plans for that. No idea when I'll get around to doing that though lol.
KSP VAB music :catjam:
or SPH, but VAB is a more recognisable acronym, and technically the SPH is also a VAB
It looks like something Mike Patey would design! Beautiful!!
I’m so glad I found your channel through tail heavy! Great work! Love your energy, enthusiasm, and work. ☺️
Someone had been watching MP 😂 Spoiler alert - I don’t quite understand the practical application of the spoiler but I guess it’s an interesting experiment.
If you look at 12:43 , you can see Zach use the spoilers for their intended use. He's able to descend almost straight down while still retaining control. I imagine it could be used to land in areas where you're too hemmed in by trees to make a normal approach work. Either way, I think it looks cool!
ksp music on a crafting video, love it!
The tail is not happy….. it’s flutter.. lol. 🇺🇸👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Great job with that!
Holy shit I've only ever dreamed of someone doing complex rc wing articulation like this.
Those wings are really nice. You've got a lot of room to wiggle out weight from the fuselage. Remember that your opponent there is using a skin to cover gaps, and you can do that too in many places.
Of course. It actually turned out where the wing was super heavy and the fuselage super light (for the size). All those complex mechanisms in the wing made it super heavy but the fuselage is just empty space for the most part!
@floppyhobbies that makes sense. Would making huge rectangle holes in the solid section of the wing, then skinning it over make a difference? Can add some bracing if needed, but probably only a couple max. That wing is so cool looking, I am super jealous.
@@williamfawkes8379 I don't think that would make a huge difference to be honest. The weight of foamboard per square inch is actually super low, especially since if you take the paper off you remove 70% of the weight. It's so light that it's almost as light as covering! The heavy part is any glue joint (hot glue is heavy), and the cardstock skin I'm using for the flaps which is heavier than foamboard per square inch. So the fact that I had lots of small ribs in the wing and complicated multi-layer cardstock skins for the spoilers and flaps really added on to the weight. TLDR: I wouldn't be able to poke holes in anything heavy, since it needs to be that complicated shape, and anywhere I could make an opening wouldn't actually be responsible for much weight and wouldn't be worth the effort. That all being said, I'm working on a building technique to more closely mirror covered balsa, with foam taking balsa's place and using covering over foam ribs. Keep an eye out on the channel, it'll definitely appear on a project at some point in the future if it turns out to be a worthwhile technique!
“I just made this fuselage very quickly” dude that thing is beautiful.
Yeah boy! Sick
Very cool
Does Brian with the M79 STOL-RC aircraft have a RUclips channel? Thanks.
Unfortunately not.
