EA "Donkey" Cargo Dropper With New Wing

[Derek]

I've not flown a plane in so long, lol. Dad and I got together today for "just planes" and this is a video of a build that we did together.

The last several flights of this plane were successful but I felt that the plane needed more lift because of our "sometimes" heavy payload. So, I made a new wing that was thicker (hoping for more lift) and I added flaps.

On today's flights, I mechanically set the flaps down about 10 degrees. The plane gets off the ground much faster now and flies even better than before. So, this new wing has proven itself in a positive way and I'm quite happy with it.

Originally, this plane was built for my Dad but he has, unfortunately, admitted that he just doesn't feel comfortable trying to fly it on his own. Therefore, he has given the plane to me. I'll be flying this plane in an "Egg Drop" contest next weekend.

Hey there Derek. Is that one of your new quads that you been designing and keeping under covers? I've heard that you flew planes and helis Looks good and nice flight!

Dad and I have had this plane for a bit over a year. Probably only flown it 5-6 times....pitiful! However, with this new wing performing so well, we are likely to see more of this plane.
