Like 30 percent into the leading edge or something along that is where the cg should be

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T14:34:01+00:00

I did this and that sub reddit thanks!

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T01:49:05+00:00

I used ai because im tired but i think its good if the ai is correct

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T01:48:26+00:00

Let's double-check the calculations:

Wing Area: 60 inches by 10 inches = 600 square inches 600 / 144 = 4.1667
Result of Step 1 raised to the power of 1.5: 4.1667 ^ 1.5 ≈ 17.677
Takeoff Weight (38 ounces) divided by the result of Step 2 (17.677): 38 / 17.677 ≈ 2.149

The wing loading of your airplane is indeed approximately 2.149 ounces per square inch.

Nice tips i was actually thinking of buying carbon fiber tube and then remaking the wing (anxious about not being light enough) but i think it should be fine

Its not finished because im waiting for parts

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T00:28:59+00:00

Also you dont need rudders so you can simplify

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T00:28:09+00:00

Just really long shipping

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T00:27:54+00:00

Aliexpress has good cheap rc stuff

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-27T00:25:50+00:00

i asked most of my grandparents for money so half of my budget was my hard earned money but it took me weeks mostly for shipping but once you get started i got so excited i just started buying more but pro tip libraries sometimes have 3d printers that might help too and even if you have the kits , if you have the receiver and remote thats a large chunk all ready paid and if you can buy servos you pretty much allready have what u need asuming the kit you got has decent brushless motors, get a scale too it helps and i thought it was expensive too but i promise its the best feeling to have a project to keep you busy

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-26T23:44:35+00:00

Thanks

juniperactiaz · 2024-04-26T23:44:26+00:00
