Gallery Show us your plane! (Part 2)

[EddieWeeks]

I recorded lots of data early on to find the best prop for climbing.

@0.352 mah / foot or 352mah / 1000 feet the 13x6.5 worked well
now I climb at 40 mph full power and I know that is the best climb angle

Climb mph dmah
Angle feet / min mah / ft
Himax 3528 13x6.5 E shallow 62 372 1780.0 0.418
Himax 3528 13x6.5 E steep 40 333 2367.5 0.352
Himax 3528 11x8.5 steep 50 320 1844.0 0.347
Himax 3528 11x8.5 shallow 58 423 1434.3 0.421
himax 3522 12x8 steep 38 4113 1107.2 0.372

at 352mah / 1000 feet and 5000 mah on board.. How high do you think its been.. ?

[EddieWeeks]

dang... the format is all screwed up..... if any one is interested in this data I can make
a jpg out of it and post it... let me know

Eddie

[pratorian]

i would when you have a sec to make that graph, I'm gonna order one of those glider for sure, do you think that motor/ prop combo would work with either of them ?

and how high has it been ?

[EddieWeeks]

Here is all the climb data I have on that plane...

Eddie

[pratorian]

thanks eddie, those numbers are pretty good much better than any plane I own

[David22]

you are "nuts " not to get a glider without flaps or spoilers



let alone not hook up the rudder

for a few hundred dollars more you can get a very much more high performance glider from "soaring USA" or other places

of course the components far out price the airframe, so spend some extra $$ while you have a chance

go over board and try the fastest glider around like the one I will
hehehe

i will break the world record for the fastest fpv plane hehehe

rtf just need to install rx and video tx hehehehe

at least concider this one which is a better choice and shipping is way less as well

[pratorian]

that first one is the ugliest pos ive ever seen, I wouldnt pay 2 bucks for it, dont care about performances but that 2nd one from nitroplanes does look pretty slick, might as well get that one from the usa instead of the hobbycity ones.

thanks for the link

Stay away from the Ventus, it is a tip stalling nightmare, i have flown both the Ventus and the Discus from CMPro, the Discus being far better.

Also have the same FlyFly ASW28 that Eddie has, it has a larger cockpit area.


This is the cmpro discus, much much better than the ventus, and is cheaper.

If money is of no concern, here's the ultimate FPV gliders:
Speed: http://www.kennedycomposites.com/suprae.htm
Cruising: http://www.kennedycomposites.com/avae.htm

[EddieWeeks]

I think this is the fastest and most powerful FPV plane I have seen..

45 lb thrust turbine...220 mph measured (not in this video)

60 shaft horse power

IsobarFJ2003, Jet, FPV (1 min 49 sec)

same plane from ground.

Isobar at Lumberton (1 min 58 sec)

One day when I get to installing the flap servos and rx and video stuff

i will post "my" ultimate glider for fpv

http://www.soaringusa.com/products/p...ategory_id=266

All my planes are eventually going to be fpv.

why not

But I will never buy a glider with out flaps or spoiler ever again.

especially with the added weight of the gear.

landing with spoilerons via fpv would be a hard task

unless you have a football field

if your football field hehehe is a large area of corn or whatever, long grass, etc. a retreival system, beeper, or whatever is a good thing.

fast gliders with out brakes will not land at your feet, unless you are lucky or a very good pilot, or your plane is not really that fast

[David22]

An f5b plane, like the enigma will do fpv circles around your supra hehehe

For 5 minutes ... I'll keep doing the circles another 2 hours while you charge

[David22]

true for sure Trap,
but I was hopeing to fly for closer to 45 min.?

even if I crash, I still want that feeling or dream to come true

My problem is I have this plane and like all my other i get borred really fast doing non fpv.

I am testing out a fuel system to let me fly for about an hour, and will post finnal picks here.

Dang i even put a fpv system on a dlg which has no motor.

Most likely will get the "fox" from multi plex and try to copy Wobbies install

I liked his spar accross the leading edges


I am going on a two hour drive to find a site where no one lives today. way the out there. real country, where my spoter will be looking for bears and wild cats instead of my plane lol

bear spray will be apart of my ground station lol

Finding new places to fly is fun as well

One day i will post some planes that should NOT be flown fpv near populated areas hehehe
