31" 1B1M Delta Wing
I decided to revive a dollar foam 1B1M delta I had built earlier since I got in a few new motors. Using 1500kv with 7x6 prop.
Made aluminum motor mount from some angle stock. The motor is mounted so close to the joint that there is little leverage to bend the mount in a crash; its pretty strong. The delta is a little overbuilt with bamboo supports on the LE and behind the prop cut out. AUW is 360 grams. This is supposed to be a light wing ( around 110 g or so). I am really good at taking a light design and making a draggy behemoth out of it. Someday I will learn. I differed from the original specs by putting everything up top. I don't like knocking off the stabilizer on landing. Using bicycle spokes for control rods. They are a little heavy (about 4 grams each) but they don't flex. Update 5/21: Took fin off and it flies great. |
