This wing is based off of my 24" DS wing as seen here:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1252282

It is an evolution of my simple to build 24" wing. It has a built up fuse for hiding components and offering better aerodynamics. I started its own thread because the plane is going to evolve and I dont want to take away from the Dead Simple aspect of the 24" wing. I am going to do a build log of the latest version once I am done designing it, and I think I will form some kits once I get the phlatprinter . I do like the 36" wing more than the 24" just because it has more size and is a little more refined.

Clarification on the build. The center of the wing is 7 layers thick to allow for hiding the battery. KFm 4 makes up 3 layers. The diamond sections have 2 on top and 2 on bottom.

DS2 Specs
NP: 9.88in
CG: at 9.32in with a 5% static margin (Worked well)
AUW: 12oz
Wing Area: 342sq in
Cubic Loading: 3.3 (impressive glide though)
Motor:1700kv BnR Wonder 24g
Prop:7x3.5 (45mph 16oz thrust)

Video
Will get a new video when I can, but you see the plane flying in between my daughter tracking it with her eyes. Really cute though.

Subscribed. Will be building! Can people that have built this suggest a good ESC/motor/Battery combo?

Absolutely! I just have a bunch of these little 24g motors. I am thinking of using this on the next version:

How about making it like Stryker fast? I'm thinking something like this:

The motor you have linked up there is good too. I see they state 80MPH using the 6.25 pitch prop.

Was the one you were flying with Baby Zoe the 24g HXT motor?

Ya, it was a turnigy 24g. I love those little motors. Its a good size for the 36" and 40mph is fun...but if you have the need for speed well...
Those suppo motors are also much more efficient, but I haven't gotten my hands on one yet. I am just going on Dr. Kiwi's recommendations.

edit: I actually think that turnigy you linked is a newer version of the suppo 2212-6. http://www.flybrushless.com/motor/view/50

Here is the start of the 36 ''.

Used 1/2'' pink foam cut out as one piece and then some 7/16 EPE for the top and bottom step.

Was thinking about using this motor,i already have it as a spare....http://www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the...ushless/Detail...if it's not used in the 24 ''...still trying to figure that out.
The motor on 3s can produce as much as 17 oz of thrust on a gws EP 9050.
On 2s the most it can produce with a gws EP 1147 is about 12.5 ounces of thrust.

But of course my scale only weighs up to 100 g so i have no idea of the weight so far,but it is much lighter than my super cub,much lighter.

So...would like to hear you guys opinions,suggestions comments.

EDIT:
Well i was pretty tired when making this post and after re-reading forlack's post and watching the video..(cute little bugger) i see that the motor i have should work with the 36''.

Going to try and finish today.

Forlack, what material did you use for this version? $Tree foamboard joined in the middle?

Thanks!

Looks Good!

Ya I used dollar tree two halves for the main body and KF steps. The middle sections cover up the seams and hold it tight.

Thank you sir!

Not sure what to do...

Should i make the ailerons from the 1/2 pink foam and taper them to the TE...or should i taper the TE of the whole wing and use 3mm foam for the ailerons?

Ridgewalker

Looks amazing Ridge.. looking forward to your report!

I might get some time this weekend to do the 36", but the 24g motor may feel a bit underpowered for it. Maybe if I put the 3s on it and get a different prop.

Ridge thinner TE will be more efficient. Also, it might be hard to balance with that little battery and 1/2" foam.

i had a post laid out but it turned into a wall of text and blabbering...

so how about throwing me a set of those new plans? i havent touched a piece of foam for weeks and i have a ton of time on my hands this weekend and all of next week!

cmoooon!

This looks even better than the 24" version! Very nice.
