Hey guys, I need some advice. I'm going to send a skyfun up on a weather balloon to around 100K feet, and try to fly it FPV back to the launch location. I also will have an Ardupilot on board to do it autonomously if I lose video. I'm going to see some serious speeds, Maybe up to 300MPH. No motor or ESC, will be gilding only. Prop is useless at these speeds anyways.
What I"m looking for is ideas to beef this plane up and reduce the likely hood of flutter. I'm going to need a battery for 5 hours. I'm thinking a 5000mah 3 cell to be safe, but I could go a little less. I'm thinking fiberglass the whole plane, carbon fiber the ailerons, metal servo arms, 4-40 pushrods all with sullivan clevises and pushrod connectors. Love to hear ideas |

BUT: you may have issues regarding the cold. temperatures at 100 000 feet are slightly less than -40 degrees C. At those temperatures, for the duration of the exercise. the battery will be very very cold you may want to look into what batteries work at what temperatures, and check on the possibilities of servos icing up too. |

Got the Tri-Skyfun wired up and working.
Using (3) NTM Prop Drive Series 28-26A 1200kv / 250w and 3 x Master Airscrew 3 blade 7" props w/ 3 x Turnigy Plush 30am ESC's With a 4 cell it's generating over 5 lbs of thrust. All up weight with 3300 mah battery: 2lbs 8 oz. |

Ecworks that thing must be awesome! The engines on the wings must give it really good low speed maneuverability.
The sky fun really is one of the best RC planes out there, I just keep having fun with it. It's all beat up and re-glued together but still going. Current setup is a NTM 28-36 2700kv, 3s 2200mah turnigy nano 45c, 5.5x4.5 sport prop and 55A turnigy trust. Haven't measured speed yet but it zips around quite nicely, pulling 500W. Thinking of going 4S at some stage, but honestly that would only be to break speed records. I changed the ailerons for balsa ones, much more precise and easier to trim (foam ailerons were untrimmable). If mine ever bites the dust (doubtful because it's already hit a tree at full speed and barely got a scratch) I'm thinking of getting another one and glassing it, then finally going 4S, likely with a bigger motor. |

Basically the ones I have are just flat with thinner trailing edges. |
