EA "Donkey" Cargo Dropper With New Wing
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 3:03 am
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.
