HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2019
- Smeg Head - Canard Pusher maiden flight. Inspired by the Experimental Airlines APD. Designed to be a smooth flying, adaptable and durable FPV cruiser.
Hot wire cut XPS foam, 3mm Coreflute fuselage and fin. 1060mm x 170mm wing and 503mm x 150mm canard.
Needs CG to go back about 40mm for better pitch authority. Mods and build overview coming soon.

'Canardly wait' to build one of these!
Keith Billinge I nearly ROFled at that! Oh and by the way, you name founds like a village in Kent.
Another innovative build! Thank you!
To get a bit more pitch authority, I might suggest altering the angle of attack on your canard.
Since the canard is providing a significant portion of the lift (not all do),
it cannot provide tight pitch moments.
The canard has to stall before main wing...thus keeping you extreme pitch.
But you can get closer by reducing the carnard angle of attack to a very shallow angle.
This is why more maneuverable canard aircraft have minimum lift canards.
Your's, as you state, is perfect for stable cruising!
A beautiful job.
Yes that makes sense. I'll try to simulate canard angle changes with elevator on a slider and pure elevon mixing.
After watching @ExperimentalAirlines APD, and "10 Ansley Peace Drones from around the World", saw a familiar YT video recommendation lead here. This has me considering a Canard Pusher pusher for my next project. Thanks for including the plans and details for this and the box-built editions. :)
Canard planes are interesting. Stable and controllable when stalled but not very acrobatic. Good cruisers.
Nicely done.Looks like a solid fpv platform.
Hope so, will try FPV and iNav soon
The Wright Bros. had it down pat and picked a good design for what they had to work with. I do see the ExperimentalAirlines influence is strong with this one. As many have said, "Nice".
"ExperimentalAirlines influence is strong"
I just found the *ExperimentalAirlines* channel today. Lots of great videos on the channel. It's too bad he doesn't appear to be making videos these days.
@@ddegn That is true, he is on a long break, but I don't know if there is more to it, or not. He sponsored contests, gave away prizes, and then seems to have hit a dry spell. He came back after a bit, but seems to have hit a dry spell again. Hope it isn't anything terribly serious, but I have had a few dry spells also.
Recently RUclips got a tad carried away with the copyright thing and still feels not responsible enough to give video makers a warning, or advice about issues they believe need fixing. They just delete your video, or videos if they get a complaint after telling makers of videos for $ they detected a copy of even a few seconds. It doesn't even matter if you were trying to be helpful and send viewers to a video, or call attention to a video you liked. I deleted my channel with Google help, then after a few weeks started over. Not much to see so far, but I feel there is nothing they will mess with.
Ed started it all for me about 6 years ago.
@@AndrewNewton He started his channel for you? Interesting.
Good work Tony ... Smeeeeeg Heeeeeed lol :)
Very clever Ace
My favourite episode 🤣
I think you mean Ace hole Andrew lol
I want to build planes as good as you do. right now I can barely build flite test planes well enough to fly.
Keep going, you'll get there 👍
Jup, i started Just Like you, barely able to build anything that flies. But now i own several Models, and fly them. 3 of them i build myself. Completly without Plans, right Out my head. So: continue and you'll get There 😃
Nice to see even the Pro's have a little trouble sometimes. Great looking plane even after introducing her to a tree lol They have such a distinctive look in the air. Like the fact you talked through what you thought the problems were and how you rectified them. Yet another great video mate !
Thanks, lots of scope for experimentation with this one
Innovative scratch build Andrew. Rare sight to see that plane loves a tree..)
The only tree close to the flight path! There was an aggresive dog very close, but luckily it was in the secure training yard of the dog club.
Holey jello batman, that prop/motor needs some balancing!
Love your work!
Yes I know, embarrassing. That prop has been binned, way out of balance and impossible to fix.
Very nice canard!!
Really cool, she flies great👍👍 You should call it the flying matchstick lol!!
Well done! Every time I see a Canard Plane in the air it looks like someone is running the video backward ;-) See you in the Air!
Yes, you can't think too much while flying or you revert back to normal orientation.
Tomorrow I'll try to do a canard plane as well. I cut the wings already but yours look way nicer.
Excellent, good luck, they are weird but fly well
A DWARFER Fan eh. Gone up even more in my estimation.
Great video!
Absolutely love the name I'm a big fan of red dwarf cool plane too now smeg off. 😜
Classic!
smeeeeee
smmmmmmmmm
smmmmmm
...heeeee
smmmmm.... heeeee
Hi Andrew : Try a little packing under the leading edge of the canard wing. I think ED did that on one his APD's not a lot just one narrow strip of Depron, please try it, good luck.
Gorgeous model 👌nice flying sir
Gorgeous plane, Andrew! Great job on the flight!
That end was just...
*CUB RISES*
Very nice.
RED DWARF ? I love it
Merci mon frère
Great video as usual. Very interesting flight characteristics with CG too far forward. I appreciate the explanations on how to correct them...then they fly perfectly. Especially, like these build videos with maiden flights before everything is fixed.
Yes it's fascinating testing these things
Very nice. Keep the videos coming.
Very Nice Hammer-Head Design Andrew, Thanks Mate ;~)P
Awesome. I like so much these airplane model.
My toaster really enjoyed that :) Just catching up on your build series, BZ mate! Great ideas/build intuition. So cool seeing them develop. thx. -Den
Ha thanks. Any one for toast?
Looks good, maybe try using the whole front wing as an elevator? and the rear as a delta? great vid love the plane :-)
Coming soon Chris, great platform for experimenting.
aw smeg off. looks like the drone that spied on us when i was in the occupy movement. Only that one was about 12' across.
Serious surveillance! Thanks Smee Hee
Ha, ha funny looking bird, but hey, you made it fly pretty nice. Well, I just finished putting together my creation too and will maiden it as soon as we get some decent weather. It is only 7C this evening. Do you remember The Gentle Lady glider. Well I am using its fuselage and the wing and tail of the Calypso glider I destroyed last year, lol. Hey it came out pretty good. Just 2 channel so far. May activate the flaps at a later date, see how it flies first. Happy Flying
Nice, the Gentle Lady should float around easily
I would very much like to build one. When you have sorted out the minor issues would you be able to post the dimensions and some of the build details? Love your videos and pioneering approach to RC. Greetings from the UK
Hello Ian. I have just added a link in the description to the dimensions of the modded version. Build overview and second flight video coming soon.
Great plane Andrew, I like using rubber bands to hold wings on, saves damage in a crash...I think its just nose heavy myself, there was a lot of up elevator being used almost all the time watching the camera view. Are you sure the Lipo is staying put during launch..?
Correct, nose heavy. Battery didn't move at all
Andrew. You might tell the lads at the field a Canadian told you to call it "The Newton" and leave it at that! Would a little more wing tip help in the turning?
May I ask what airfoil did you use and what did you finally decide on for you c/g, and your canard / wing angle's of attack? Thanks. Very well done ..... Sir Newton. ;-)
Wauuu ....keren...mantao
Is that good?
2:57 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamps
It flies best when its flown in a docile manner. Big wide turns like a chartered airplane full of tourists maybe. lol i would be scared of breaking prop on landing. you must have a brake on the motorthat stops it in horizonal prop position right?
I do have a brake but it stops anywhere. The prop just flicks out of the way on landing, very few breakages.
Great work, love seeing you innovate with your scratch-builds.
I'm guessing, with this configuration, the canard wing is the horizontal stabiliser?
Heard a dirt bike at the beginning. Thought you had taken a trip to Tokoroa 😁
Correct, and that motorbike was noisy
@@AndrewNewton Cool, thanks Andrew 👍
Waooo magnífico ejemplar
Andrew, what did you mean by "the elevator needs to be reversed"?
Normally at the back of a plane, what the elevator's doing is pushing the end of the tail down to pitch the nose up but now its pulling the nose up so the deflection's opposite
Aryan is right. Elevator is in front of the CG so to pitch up it needs to lift up instead of push down
Beautiful, this is my 3rd visit to Smeg Head :) Wouldn't an EDF fantastic for this bird with the maneuverability advantages of the canard wing?
Wouldn't an elevon mix at the main wing be better for vertical control?
Definitely. I'll program in a mix to switch between pure elevon control and normal elevator + ailerons. Will be interesting to compare.
Hi Andrew! I plan on building this canard and I have 2 questions. With the elevator being on the canard does the elevator work backwards compared to a conventional elevator? And secondly will elevons work just as well?
Yes the elevator deflects down to make the plane pitch up. I'm about to test pure elevons, that's all the original APD used.
Andrew what receiver y0u use to get amps telemetry?
FrSKY X6R with a 40A current sensor module bit.ly/2IfslP1
Opps! Just found your second Smeghead video! You've answered all my questions. I see you're using the R9SX receiver. How did this compare to the Dart? Thanks again.
Thanks Chris. More likely to be an X6R receiver, I dont have an R9SX. Quite similar to the Dart, very smooth but not very agile.
@@AndrewNewton Yeah, it was pretty hard to see the receiver I.D. . Would the frsky x20 or X18 and their dual receivers give similar long distance performance as Expresslrs do you think? Thanks again Andrew!
Sounds like an interaction inbetween the canard and the wing to make the turns so difficult. I would be extremely interested, if it would make a difference, if the canard would be under the fuselage or some centimeters above and not on the same level as the wing.
Nice video as always. Greetings from Finland.
Interesting thought Christoph. I'd like to try a pivoting canard as well.
Smeggin great, canardly wait to see what you come yo with next. No silicon heaven? Preposterous! Where would all the calculators go?
I have been interested in canard type models for a few years now, and have done a lot of reading about canard aircraft. One of the things I learned in my reading (and flying) is:: For best control and performance, DO NOT place the main wing and canard on the same level. If you do, air flow over the canard disturbs the air flow over the main wing. On a plane with the elevator on the canard this is especially true when the elevator is deflected downward; like at slow speed and a higher angle of attack. I generally build with the canard about 4" to 5" above the main wing.
hmm... it has quite a nice glide. What covering film is that, it looks way better than the crinkly crap I have.
Heavy duty packing tape, with a light spray of 3M 77 adhesive first.
I enjoy your videos Andrew but I cringe when I see you hand launch like that with pusher prop.
It's a calculated risk. Could throw then power up
@@AndrewNewton OK. It seemed from the video you threw it with the power on. Mike.
