You have some mad design skills , I like how you mix really scrappy with really well thought out and technically clever stuff. Always look forward to your videos on my feed. Keep it up
Impressive build! With rib build method I would probably go with bell shape span-load and required twist (w/o) fins. Similar like Horten wings or Prondl-D prototype.
@rctestflight This is quality stuff! One of my fav youtube channels for years. You should work on a powered slope glider with solar panel assisted recharging. Then say when you have enough battery power, you can enjoy the thrill of blasting off up high outside of the slope wind for some fun, then back down to the slope for recharging. Maybe like a 1.5 amp 3 or 4 cell lipo or li-ion to keep it simple? I mean you already kind of did this with your solar plane videos. But it was not purpose-built to have this idea work as a very tuned experience. Just my thoughts. have a great one!
Cool, I always love your videos, Inspired by you and few others I made my first plane, then I thought of making a youtube channel which explains everything in Hindi, now I have about 12K subs now.
@@SimonWoodburyForget As a model aircraft designer myself, the fact that it flies at all is a testament to his design skills. As he becomes more experienced I am sure he will pick up all this stuff. Not all of us have 50+ years experience building model aircraft. And you don't have to be such a prick when you give feedback.
That's great quality flight video! What camera is being used to capture that? I have a recently purchased Sony FDR-AX53. It's a decent camera but is MISERABLE for capturing flight in bright sunlight. The LED screen gets washed out, but I expected that. However, the EVF is also a huge disappointment because the screen is only .25-inches. That is far too small to accurately follow a flying RC airplane while trying to zoom and stay in focus. How is your rig for RC flights in the sun?
I'm getting a list of materials for my first attempt. Do you still have the pieces that are in the title? If not, where's a discount place to buy? I'm still researching what I like & what's available... I like your method for wrapping these. peace
Hi to all of you. This might be a very late christmas present, but.. I had the opportunity to create a Plan and 3D printable files for Daniels second flying wing. I uploaded the files and wrote some instructions on thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2735403 This way anyone interested can try to build this wing. But, a DISCLAIMER, I haven't build the wing myself, and Daniel said it is "not well thought out". So it's certainly possible that there are issues with it, some I already mention in the instructions. I will update the files and instructions when I make improvements, and will try to incorporate tips from comments on thingiverse. Until then happy building to you all.
Hey danie I want to make solar plane and I need some info for that crazy peoject can you share me info ? If its happen i would like to be happy . Thanks
just a moderate lift semi-symmetrical cambered profile; THICKEST at 30 percent of chord. see something like the naca2410. cheers airfoiltools.com/airfoil/naca4digit?MNaca4DigitForm%5Bcamber%5D=2&MNaca4DigitForm%5Bposition%5D=40&MNaca4DigitForm%5Bthick%5D=10&MNaca4DigitForm%5BnumPoints%5D=81&MNaca4DigitForm%5BcosSpace%5D=0&MNaca4DigitForm%5BcosSpace%5D=1&MNaca4DigitForm%5BcloseTe%5D=0&MNaca4DigitForm%5BcloseTe%5D=1&yt0=Plot
Pierce - BANG SCIENCE That depends on many many factors. Size of your aircraft, voltage ability of your power train (how many cells to use), expected current with said power train. What airframe or kit are you looking at?
If you are going to put a battery in something, the same rules apply for everything. So you need to know the voltage you need and what is the average and maximum amp draw that your equipment will be using. Then, you select a battery according to it's discharge rating and capacity. And lastly, the better it's internal resistance, the better the battery. How much you pay for a battery ultimately depends on these factors. Most RC hobbyists and tinkerers lately are using lithium polymer batteries. Take special note when maintaining the proper battery voltage with lithium because some of them are sensitive to overcharging and over-discharging which can create a fire hazard. Do your best to grow you ability to understand how many components come together for making something function. And never underestimate the many possible dangers involved when having fun. The hobby community is bigger and better than ever, so you can be sure that just about every answer you need already exists and is explained in plenty of ways. Good luck!
Ah, that wing with the laser cut balsa ribs, that's how it's done, none of that foam nonsense....lol....Balsa Models fly better....it's true....More Old School like this please.
thanks for posting. nice work. here are some thoughts. at :36, using cf tube for the LE results in Excess mass in the Wing, Outboard; reducing roll axis stability. the spar design would not appear to prevent wracking across the span. at :55, Unnecessary Weight of plastic braces at the ribs, and a Large plastic piece used at each Wingtip. again, reducing stability. cheers
thanks for posting. some thoughts for you and your subs. nice work, but . . .there is NO good reason, in view of its weight, to use cf on such a small model; not even for the main spars. on such small models, every GRAM matters. especially, grams AFT of the cg. if you want black spars, color spruce or bamboo with a sharpie. when carbon is used for the leading edge of a swept flying wing, the part of it near the wing tips ends up being AFT of the cg. if you want a heavy model, that has an unstable distribution of mass, use carbon in the wings, outboard. otherwise, make the wings of balsa, bass and spruce. use hobby plywood (or spruce), not MORE carbon, to make the lateral components of the center-section. at :20, the servo arms should be to the OUTBOARD side. the servos should have been mounted FORWARD of the cg, not aft of it. unless the elevons are suitably stiff, the control horns should be installed a bit farther outboard; elevon servos could be installed at either side of the center-section, to improve linkage alignment. cheers

the second wing was a work of art!
That clear wing looks awesome Love that design
That glider was totally awesome! Of course among others.. :)
That wing is simply stunning
2:22 Mr. White, is that you??
WoW, that looks like a perfect slope! Depending on wind direction of course.
Nicely done, as always. There's a good reason you have 121,000 subscribers!
Fabulous fabrication, PLANEMAN! But I'm surprised someone didn't get upset with you at POTM.
Great video! As usual!!!! You are a master!!!!
Reminds me of the classic model designs, but with modern components and materials..
Make a compilation of the most awesome crashes!
Impressive build!

Those are SWEET! So, when are you going to learn to paramotor? Let's go flying!
Wow that's Nice!
I love this chenel

Any chance you'll share the plans for wing 2? It's beautiful.
3cu14rs
And very fast too!
Yeah! I would like to get the files too. Sweet winter project incoming...
Same here! I'll buy a 3D printer to make it!

@@SimonWoodburyForget he even had a CNC to do the cut outz
Is there any chance you’d be willing to post the .dxf files for the spars? Ive got access to a CNC laser cutter and would love to make that wing.

I know it's been awhile, but are you going to show more vids on the Twin Snow Plane V2? It's december after all.
2:12
OMG that's some Battlestar Galactica shit right there.
Have you cut your carbon fibre spars with a cnc?
1:39 Mr. White was producing in the trailer!
I'm getting a list of materials for my first attempt. Do you still have the pieces that
are in the title? If not, where's a discount place to buy? I'm still researching what
I like & what's available... I like your method for wrapping these.

Como te lo curras en carbono y madera, muuuy wapos!
Dude tell me where I can order the carbon fiber Wing ribs !
Can you please share the plans of the airfoil of the airplane
What transmitter do you use
Hey Can You Try A B-2 Spirit Bomber?
what airfoil did you use on the second wing?
pw51 works great
More solar plane soon??
Do have the files for the wing ribs?

what is the design class
I live their, that trail side
Hey danie I want to make solar plane and I need some info for that crazy peoject can you share me info ? If its happen i would like to be happy . Thanks
I tried to make a similar one and failed multiple times. Less power= no trust, more power= torque roll. At least is easy to repair
Wherever you live... Im moving there
Could anyone tell me what airfoil is used on the 2nd wing, I'm looking to build one. Thanks
just a moderate lift semi-symmetrical cambered profile; THICKEST at 30 percent of chord. see something like the naca2410. cheers
