after that i set it up for a none powered wing and bomb dropped it but so many flights you can do before you can retire it

yeah the EPS foam sucks if u crash i couldnt cut EPP to difficult its a shame i could be making some killer designs

A cool little wing Gaz i guess its a foamie"what type of foam"?most of my wings have been made from corflute a couple of foamies but corlute is free for the most part,what are we thinking speed wise for a 1.2m 90mm 6s and what materials i built a 1.1m corflute wing with a 3200kv on 4s top speed was impresive until it ripped itself in half,will try to find the vid
i am very keen to try again just to see how fast i can get a piece of plastic to fly,were your readings from radar,audio or sight as i would like to clock some of mine.
nothing wrong with a quick roll rate you have got to keep it exciting.
i have just built a 900mm wing from corflute for slope and keen to build a powered one current weight is 320g so thinking 2500kv 1000mh 3s.

thoughts AM

couple of old fast ones, combat is hard at 100kph+ very few hits most common shootdowns were killing the prop the streamers only lasted 2min before we started aiming for planes tricky at that speed either way.

i use a mix of speed recording devices doppler,iphone,eagle tree speed sensor im not sure on the 90mm EDF speed should have plenty of thrust

No props but here's a cool vid of an EDF hovering.

* EDF * Hovering Sebart Mig 29 (3 min 35 sec)

A very cool vid i am definantly going to have to try full 360 thrust vector i have been meaning to apply it to a homemade build for some time as the profile mig will just about do the same
but needs more deflection on the elevons and some rudders would probably help as wing rock is my biggest problem for full vert hovering.

cheers

I saw a very cool manoeuvre today. It was a Red Mig Jet that managed to separate it's nose from it's body upon contact with earth. I think it was a Madman in control (or out of control)

Blahhhahaaaaa. I don't have enough skill for that type of manoeuvre

I had the same problem. IMO the reason is that there's not enough. Thrust going over the control surfaces.
I've being told that a gyro can fix it to

yeah ok but i was flying high alpha at 1-2ft with no rudders you get that.
now bigger deflection area in the thrust line including "rudders" unfortunatly my camera man today was not up to the task"s#$^" therefore i cannot provide the entertainment for you.
happy crashing...MADMAN

yea but you also saw a nice little tail drag before that did you not and its only corflute and how long would have repairs taken had i wished to fly again battery providing you should know the answer codger?

gotta love corflute ugly sometimes but it always performs.

Looked like a write-off from my angle. You'll never fix it. give up now. you know how hard it is to repair corflute, don' you? Hahahaha

You dont repair coro. You replace it. Thats the whole point of using it

to lazy for that and 4min later voila good to go.i think its time to build something better looking out of corflute thinking maby a su47 though i do like to build something out of the norm.suggestions?

This was definatly an interesting homemade pusher manouver or at least fun to watch check out what happens 3/4 of the way through

Wing rip (3 min 3 sec)
