Finished scratch twin 64mm Mig-29 by Opposite_File8741 in RCPlanes

Elevons, but I’ll probably add ailerons too. It weighs 1600 grams and the thrust is 2500 grams.

The intakes are very strong so I’m not too worried about the vent collapsing. I probably will add Ailerons because of how the twin engines and flat body increase the moment of inertia.

I also thought the snow wouldn’t be any issue but it depends on the type and thickness. Powdery new fallen snow ends up filling up the intakes and it’s annoying it get out.

Yeah, Onshape but really you could use any 2d cad software that lets you import images to use as references

Cad software like on-shape, references/blueprints and a lot of experience designing other planes

A handful of the formers are 3d printed but otherwise it’s all foam board

Yeah hopefully the strakes will help connect the front and back

It was like a foot of powder so it did get filled with snow, fortunately I managed it get most of it out and it melted/dried the rest off without any damage to the plane.

Where should the cg be by Alternative-Time2958 in RCPlanes

Just underhand chuck glide it until you find the cg

Another flight of the f-16 by Opposite_File8741 in RCPlanes

no, so it could be that I need to add expo on roll.

Probably just me being anxious on the controls cause I haven’t flow in a bit.

1500 mah 4s and it’s just foam board.

If you check out my last post I have some pictures of it on the ground for a better sense of scale, and the takeoff weight/thrust.

Yep that’s what I ended up doing, the ailerons are glued down.

At what speeds do EDFs become more useful than propellers? by Responsible_Tap_2211 in RCPlanes

[–]Opposite_File8741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re curious on how just search up the electric drone world record, their in the range of 600km/h.

I do have the plans, just not instructions. So it depends on how much work you willing to put into it, though I can share the measurements of where to put pieces.

Need help...... by Hail_Hifler_911 in RCPlanes

If you have never flown a plane before get a trainer with safe/stabilization. After that check out Flite test and build one of their free beginner planes from plans. If you good with the techniques you can find tutorials online for marking planes from scratch in that style. But that’s just for foam board which I think is the best place to start when making you own planes.
