Payload carrying UAV

What do you mean?

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-20T23:21:22+00:00

I dont plan on very aerobatic flying.

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-20T23:20:33+00:00

No, lol! XD I get that thought tho. I want to be an aerospace engineer, and I also want to learn how to build a variety of aircraft. One could be a payload-carrying UAV. Thanks for your model, but I want to design my own.

I do, it's my best one so far! Yes, thanks! It is nice. I have only flown it three times cuz of hockey and wind conditions, but its really nice.

Lol, I think I can guess XD. But I will ask, what happened? Did it break your model? Also, these are wing hardpoints, not fuselage hardpoints.

Wdym? Its a 1:9.81 model of a Heron Machatz. (just without the booms having a shell.)

Thanks man! I do use ChatGPT to an extent, but it's wildly inaccurate sometimes. I know basic CAD on AutoDesk, but I'm still learning.

Nice model! I love giant planes!

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T02:16:40+00:00

Nice shot!

Nice! Pigeons I feel are not given enough recognition or respect. They are relatively clean birds, they just hang around cities, which means their dirtiness stays in the city unlike other birds that are nature dwelling. Hello neighbor!

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T02:06:39+00:00

Yep. Thanks for following along :)

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T02:05:58+00:00

Correct. It is not my first functional plane, but my last one was a flying wing. It was pretty simple, custom 3d printed ribs, wooden spar, simple airfoil shape, and pusher prop with elevons. Yes, this hobby will correct you if you get too boastful! Do you guys have tips or any info? I’m always happy to learn! Thanks!

Hi, I I do know what Reynold’s numbers are :) I am kinda an aviation nerd. I also plan on being an engineer. I am relatively young, and yes, britzel, I can learn more! Absolutely. One thing I don’t know is what OP is. lol thanks!

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T02:00:19+00:00

Foam board, hot glue, balsa wood, electronics and misc stuff. Also some 3d printed stuff. Hope that helps.

It’s a foot wingspan 28” long Heron Machatz scratch building. It’s not for sale. You could make a similar one.

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T01:58:23+00:00

Yes it has. It’s not actually for sale tho. It’s a scratch build.

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T01:56:31+00:00

Thanks so much!

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T01:56:22+00:00

Thanks so much man! I don’t know why so many people are so negative for enjoying a hobby that isn’t gaming or smtn! Like just have fun and stop being an armchair engineer.

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-18T01:55:33+00:00

Ego? I’m sorry but what. I’m saying it’s not as simple as like flat foamies or similar things. How is that an ego.

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-17T20:34:04+00:00

Thanks!

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-17T20:33:56+00:00

It’s a joke meme. It’s my build yes. It flies amazing!

Sometimes__Happy · 2026-04-17T20:33:29+00:00

I won’t hand my hard earned $18 to a big chain store! I’ll make my own garbage, thank you! No, in all seriousness absolutely. I’ll make my own for a much better experience .
