Gym-Blu Simple Indoor Lightweight Stick Plane
I needed a replacement for the PFC I trashed the other day, for our inddor flying and to fly in the street out front on calm evenings and mornings.. So, here you go!
28x8 wing, 5oz using std Pico Gear & IPS w/ 2s ET250 pack. It's a floater! Edit, 1-8-2005: Add 1/8" additional incidence on front of wing. Makes it more stable at even slower speeds ![]() |

Phantastic! I want to build one - looks like the perfect "toss off the back deck" plane. I've been looking for a plane just like this one - something to fly in the backyard & also at night under the really tall parking lights at the local industrial park (they have several empty parking lots, very well lit - this plane looks perfect).
Thanks for posting & happy flyin', Buzz |

Edit (2-15-2005): Just so it'd be on the first page, and since I can only attatch 5 files per post, I'll post the Dome-Blu Plans, here. It's a blown up version, 440 sqin, per GPW's suggestion for a little more power and weight with the same wing loading. You can find the discussion and development further down in the thread. |

Here is a thread on another plane that is along the same lines. It uses an LPS and Split FFF. The Simple Split Stick

You missed the SNOW (even here!),luckily we had BEER .....
The GYMBLU (sounds like a rap star) will be a nice platform to test thick vs. thin UC airfoils ... at low speeds ... something we need to know more about .... |

Oh, we didn't miss the snow, or the cold, just the thaw... -8 degrees and 12-20" of snow... returned to 60 degrees and mud
![]() I drew this up with the 4/40 wing chamber, and I like it. The PFC had about 10% underchamber IIRC. Maybe I'll make up a 10% wing to compare. Have to take a WAG at the flat chord, or get a drawing done first. I did make up a few 4/40 templates as part of the project, so maybe I should do some 10/40's as well. Should be able to just scale the X axis... |
