Flew it today for the first time. Flew well. Better than I expected since it seems heavy. Great Planes Rimfire 10 motor and 2200 LiPo. Extremely easy to build. Thanks for the video and plans.
Recently built this. In the air, the front end folded around the front prop cut out line. I now added 2 carbon arrow shafts front to rear close to and between the vertical stabilizers for support.
Thanks for sharing brother, don't see to many kind and generous people anymore. Excellent video very good attention to detail. Some of these folks need to hit the show more button to see the CG they keep asking for. I'm gonna try this build since I already have the electronics you list in the screamer version as soon as I can find the plastic to purchase.Thanks again UV for sharing...
I had done a couple follow up videos. I would suggest watching those before building it. The version 2 that I built is much more solid and the screamer power system works much better than the original. ruclips.net/video/cMiCYtxs1Cg/видео.html
and here is the maiden of the version 2 liam edition. This is the best version of this plane that I have built. ruclips.net/video/Zris3g8qmZ0/видео.html
Thanks for a great video and taking the time to make it. Just finished following along and making two of them- will power and be flying this weekend. Cheers and thanks again!
Grand Bend RC Awesome, best of luck on the maiden (I hope you post a vid). On a side note, there must be some nice flying near Grand Bend (memories of long weekends at The Pinery). Did you build this one or version 2 (same basic dimensions, but a single front piece making it more stable/sturdy)?
To Bob Greene... I mention it at about 3:30. Sorry I can't respond directly to your post. The CG is right about where the prop is, but I've flown it on both a 1300 and 2200 3 cell with very little attention to the CG and it flew well with both without paying too much attention to balance.
Awesome video! 20 minutes of pure excellence! You are definitely a great plane builder, we can feel all your experience through your words! Let me guess you are Canadian right? Thanks for sharing and have a great day :)
Thanks for the video. I have used the plastic board for combat planes. Very strong. I liked your use of inserted wire inserted and glued inside the board as a support, and the use of carpet tape for mounting the servos. Excellent ideas. What was your thrust angle on your motor? Thanks in advance.
I watched the video a couple of times, but didn't see the CG. Do you have an idea of where it ended up? I've got several 1000 - 1300 KV motors waiting for a project.
nice job! I built a nearly the same plane but I found I was happier with it after I added a third vertical fin directly behind the motor and am considering reducing the outside fins using them just for flex support. I had to add a rod under the motor to stop flex under power. As for the hinges I tried only leaving 3 1 in hinge on each side to reduce resistance. I 've had trouble with hot glue on election signs. I also added 1 in strips for anti flex on the bottom with bamboo pegs from top to bottom for alignment instead of slots. Maybe next a rudder. I no longer fear cyclone fences they fear me.
friend , take your plans to build my own wing but I built a smaller scale , my question is how can I calculate the center of gravity because the material used is not the same as you use . thank you very much hands suede .
Assuming you are building it to scale, the CG should still be about at the prop. If you are using a lighter material (i.e. foam) then you will have less weight behind the prop in the design, but also your battery would be a higher percentage of the weight, so it might just even itself out. If it balances at the prop (with this design) it should fly pretty well.
I watch the hole build! Cool that's so me too, putting something down and see it to short lol Like your servos, good you had extensions! Yep you look like a cyborg lol
my delta wing weigh about 750 grams ,and I am using 2826 1900kv brushless motor with 9*6E prop, 2200 3 cell lipo battery ...My actual question is can this fly???? Or what actual weight it should be to fly?
That prop seems pretty large for that motor (of course I don't know the actual brand and capabilities). Also, I am unsure how large your delta is, but for a 30" to 50" wing that sounds like it should fly. I use a 2200 3s all the time on my 30 and 44" wings without a problem. I don't generally check my all up weight (perhaps I should). I generally try flying with a smaller battery first (a 1300), then work my way up if I feel it can carry more...it is usually not a problem. This specific wing in the video floats nicely with a 1300 or 2200 3s.
.157 inch (4mm). Here is the stuff I bought from home depot. www.homedepot.ca/product/white-corrugated-plastic-sheet-157-inch-x-48-inch-x-96-inch/924856
Its avionic 2826 pro 1900kv motor with 30amp esc . Building is with the same dimensions as shown in the video. Apart from the electronic components the corrugated plastic weigh about 450 grams. I just did some flight test ,Wing was in the air for some times but it crashes ....might be wrong with the cg ahh???
I can't find a link with that exact motor. That prop is also probably too large for that motor when using a 3s. Probably a 7x5 would be better suited. Does it feel underpowered, or just hard to control?
Mubarak Sharieff Hmmm. I found this pretty good. Your motor might be a little heavier than the one I am using, so perhaps you need a bit more weight up front. Is is "dolphining?" Or is it just too responsive? I usually set up my wings with about 50% expo so that I have a bit finer grained control near center.
UnlimitedVertical might be its just too responsive .I didn't set expo . tell me the weight of your delta wing so this might help me.. THANK U.. It was pleasure talking with you ... enjoy and make some more videos of different design of delta wings ..:-)
Mubarak Sharieff I don't have a proper scale to weight things like this. If you used similar materials and it is the same size I don't see why the weight would be too much different.

Good it's nice to see a decent plane and flyer doing what we do, the plane is Fantastic and it's nice to see one made out of coroplast , Well done
This is great, I work with this 5mm Coreflute material all the time at work, this is very tempting to have a go at building (-:
It's an easy build and a nice flyer Jax. You should give it a shot.
very nice build well done have fun rcing
thanks

ROFL. I actually wanted to build them with hockey team logos, but wasn't sure which teams the other two guys would like. Thanks for the kind comment.
UnlimitedVertical Personally i don't know nothing about hockey lol But i like sport anyway :)
Have a great day and have fun
Very Nice. I just started to build one.
just a note your control horns should be sitting so the holes sit in line with the hinge point of the control surface. better movement and control

8 in is the magic number, DT foam works but won't last in wet weather

lol...thats awesome. The center fin sounds a bit like the firefly.
For starters, you can recommend cheaper remote control, but do the job?
great how to vid !
Thanks!
can you tell me please...which material use???

Thanks.. Looking for a Home Depot on the left coast that carries it
If they don't have it you can always grab one of those larger election signs :-)

Great build video there UnlimitedVertical pretty easy to make too :-)
Thanks. Yes it is quite simple and flies well.
This size is inch or meter????
viktor krumov It's in inches. I have a later build video/plans for a version 2 of this plane as well.
ok ty
hi ok very good
