First try design

[Malves]

I have a big 3mm depron sheet laying around, so I decided to give a try in designing my own plane. It's not unique since it is based on other designs. :) I am using Photoshop to do it and I may be able to post a full PDF plan. Here's what I've done so far.

BTW, it's a 27" WS x 27.5" long. I want it small so I can take it with me to work in my truck, to get some flights during down time.:D

[Malves]

It's ready! Tomorrow I'll see if I can take it to Staples for printing.:) I wanna test fit everything.

Thanx, guys.:)

Park 300
9050HD
TB-9
Tanic 2s 520
2x S3108
1x S3110

Servos have case and wires modded. I'm planing on using pull-pull for ele, rud and ail. I'll be flying outdoors most of the time because of work, so no LG for this one.

This should make it easier to cut and assemble.;)

Well, today I decided to get ready for Saturday with a new plane. So, here's a dry test fit. :) I just love it!! :D

looks great !

Looks pretty good Malves!

I'm gonna make a guess that your 'shockies' are not wide enough to do much good structurally or aerodynamically. If you have not glued it up yet, you might want to double their size....

plans ?

Hey Malves,

Did you get to fly it yet?


Bill

[Malves]

Yes, I did yesterday. It flies ok, but it was too windy and I couldn't really enjoy it. At nite indoors, I crashed it. :( It was my first time flying indoors (even thou it was at least 3times bigger than the space I have between the 2 buildings where I live), and also the first time flying with a group. I was really nervous and flew the worst I've ever seen myself flying. :o Too many eyes watching me.:D
The plan needs a few changes to fly a little better. I did the mistake to put CF all the way on the LE. It kinda twisted the wing tip up at the TE. :mad:
Also I need to better distribute the weight on the fuse. I had everything up front and I didn't like that.

But I may stop here for now with it. I won't have time to test a new plane after the changes. So, it'll take a while until I have plans available for the Breeze...if I ever do.

[Bsouthwell]

I know what you mean about all those eyes....seems like you can feel them watching! Indoor is a different feeling altogether the first few flights, even in an empty gym. The big thing is to learn from the experience and give it another try. You have done something that most won't and that's design,build and fly your own design....like the old toyota commercials..."Oh ,what a feeling!". some of the things I have tried...well lets just say that I am glad my neighbors don't pay me a lot of attention. :D
