I' built this little plane without thinking it could really fly
but it's flying very well and during........10mn!!!!!
span : 20cm weight: 8,3g
the actuators are homemade the motor is a 45ohm 6mm didel;
gear ratio 5,33:1; prop 77mm & tin pitch homemade; combo JLC
hope it 's gonna give some idea to some of you!

Christophe,
Nice plane. What is the chord, in other words what is the wing area?

Gordon

Very Neat!!



Greg

Great work. Could you do a closeup of the prop and tell a bit about it.

Thanks for showing us your nifty plane.

John

gordon the chord is almost the same word in French (corde) ( U'd be surprise by the number of common word in English and French!)
then it's 6cm (1,20dmē area)
Something which is really important is that there's a negative pitch on the rear edge of the wing for more stability.

John,
I'll do closeup today and I'll send it. I don't Know how to explain the pitch.
If U'want just ask for anything

Nice, do you have a detailed weight breakdown ?
Uwe

-total frame : 1g

Thank you very much, new targets are set!

Greg,
Thank you very much for your compliment !
Like this I lurned a new English word ( neat ) I looked up in the harraps and the translation is very touching!

John,
here are some photo of the prop

an other one

the last one

there's a very small screw on the side of the prop hub to maitain it
on the axe

That is another piece of great workmanship. I have yet to do a good prop, but I keep considering options.

Great photos, great plane.

John

Very nice!
