Thing to change when re-scaling a full size plan..?
kevin wild replied to Cyclicscooby's topic in Own Design Project Blogs
Hi I remember reading in RCM&E quite a long while ago that there is a way of working out the size of the horizontal stab in relation to the wing and the distance between them. once the numbers a crunched it gives you a value (Vbar) which is a very good indication of stability. from this a safe c of g can be worked out Google Vbar and you may come accross the formuli. if not I'll see if i can dig the mag out and refresh my memory kev -
Hi the damage was a little bit more than I first thought. the nose hit the ground and dug in. as it snapped off it must have kicked to the right because the leading edge and underside had been compressed in. so when i came to glue it back on it didn't fit very well. I've ended up cutting out sections on the fuz side leading edge and fuz belly to let in fresh pieces of depron. I must say that it's very easy to reair depron just got to repaint it and build the dolly kev Edited By kevin wild on 21/03/2012 10:12:30

Very close to the original I'd say how about bringing it down to the green achres fly-in in the summer ? do they still have an electric fly-in event at blackpool ? kev

Brilliant I love the colour scheme. Can't wait to see it fly. are you going to take it to any fly-ins this summer ? . I'd like to see it close up kev

Oh dear right then I glued it all back together and then left it sulking in a corner for a while... conditions were perfect. I decided to launch on half power down a bit of a slope.... you know what's coming . yep the slope wasn't enough. the nose dug in and snapped off I will glue it back on (again) and try a dolly kev

Hi have you made any progress ? Kev -
Posted by Erfolg on 27/02/2012 14:52:35: Perhaps that if you tried half power, it would give more time to sort out the models trim. that sounds like a good idea thanks

Broke it the test flight didn't go well it torque rolled so much on the hand launch i couldn't correct it and it knife edged into the ground the nose broke off. the motor broke loose and near enough chopped the left elevon in half i've glued the nose back on but still have to sort out the elevon I've increased the battery size from 1300 to 2200mah from Mk1 so the weight has gone up a bit. also the extra power from the bigger battery probably gave me a few more revs. Mk1 used to torque roll on launch too but not as badly when i get it fixed i'll be launching it on full rates and anticipating the roll i hope i catch it next time kev Edited By kevin wild on 27/02/2012 12:46:44 Edited By kevin wild on 27/02/2012 12:48:36

Nice work that'll give the motor and esc a good blast of damp air just teasing. I once read that the intake should be twice the size of the exit so the scale ducting should be plenty big enough keep it coming Kev

Nice. moist air ? do you live somewhere damp ?

personally I would'nt expect to get a scale cockpit on a model of this size if I were buying a kit. it would make a very nice optional extra though

Hi I've been messing around with turbo cad and other packages for about 20 years, i'm not a draftsman by trade but I've done quite a bit of 3D modeling from customer drawings over the years using industrial packages the wing solid was built up from surfaces then cut up , it was a real head ache to be honest and I've put in hundreds of hours on this project the interlocking parts were all manually adjusted, sorry no easy route in the software I've just spent about 4 hours slapping some acrylic paint on it to make it look pretty just waiting for the 2 inches of slushy snow to melt away and the fog to clear and it'll be off it's green and very dark purple believe it of not. i did test the paint on a bit of scrap depron but it came out much darker then expected
