EPP P51 Scratchbuilt - Elevons only - video
Here are a few takeoff, landings and flying around shots using my scratchbuilt epp p51 plane. It uses only elevons, no elevator or rudder.
Pitch is controlled with throttle and elevons. Flies like my first thrust controlled glider. Have to spiral down to land. I was happy and amazed it flew but it isn't a very sophisticated flier like my wings. Now have hacked off horizontal stabilizer and fly it tomorrow to see if pitch control is any better - should be. Ok, now I see why fuselaged planes have a horizontal stabilizer; absolutely no control without it - besides it looks funny. Will add tail back with elevator and make a real plane now.
