Scratch built 800mm EPP foam wing flight


Flying my new scratch-built wing. Flew just under 14 minutes on 800mah lipo.

Swallow EPP flatplate with modified KFm wing compared with scratchbuilt laminated EPP foam wing
  • 800 mah battery for both
  • 9 minute flight compared to 14 minutes
  • 230 grams AUW compared to 340 grams
  • faster landing speed compared to slower landing speed
  • needs more throttle compared to much much less throttle required
  • less aerobatic compared to highly aerobatic
  • cannot fly slow compared to slow and faster flying speeds
A laminated airfoil just totally wins out over a flatplate wing.
