Wannabee Triple Threat (Triple Vert UFO elevon type)
Okay, this is a variant of Boxheads Wannabee (Delkan thread http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=776091&pp=100) variation from GPW's UFO http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=553823 . Box's testing was on wedges, drag tips. My version uses three vertical stabs and elevons. It is a great little flyer and a very quick build. Foame core board, hot glue, and bamboo.
Turborix F1818, 5 g servos, 460 Rhino 2s, vampower rx and a little esc. These posted plans are with forward swept elevons. Box also did rearward swept elevons. He had some mild flight issues with a circle and wedges but his Delkan (delta) appears to fly great with them. My version flies so well I thought I would post modified simple plans. I did a doubler by laying a cut circle so that it just cleared the elevons (see bottom pic). Motor mount is epp and the firewall is a peice of credit card. A "tad" down thrust and no side thrust. wannabee triple threat maiden flight (1 min 22 sec)

EBay... Here is a thread... I also have the gumpack camera. I like the pin hole facing down like an old flycam, but it has different software that is harder to operate. Some people take the lipo out, run a servo wire to operate with the plane battery and use an extra channel to click the shutter...

Retrofitted into a PiYak which will of course will diminish the ease of storage, but it gained a rudder and a little more of a traditional plane look. It flies well too.
