Simone Perfetti Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I would show my current project, Edf Eagle. I'm building an eagle with balsa and plywood to create the molds with fiberglass/epoxy to make the model with a plywood/ composite structure with an edf inside the fuselage, The idea is to make a model with a wingspan of 120-130 cm with divided wings for an easy transport and less than 900grams of weight to achieve good gliding performance with the motor turned off and the possibility of aerobatic flight and recover altitude with the edf turned on. I will install an air inlet that opens when the edf is running and closes when the edf is off to reduce the air resistance during the gliding flight, Currently I'm modifyng the wings and tail to be more realistic and gives to the model more yaw stability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
