looking for plans for a flying wing

[danhampson]

Im looking for plans for a flying wing to run on a 3s power system, ive got all the electronics ready to go i just need to find suitable plans.

The electronics are the ones i used for my failed attempts at the RC-Help edge 540, Well it wasnt really failed i learnt a lot about CG and foamboard build techniques. at the moment ive got 1 sheet of foamboard sat around waiting to be turned into a thing that flys

I can't help you Dan, but I know Derek gets loads of ideas from a guy on YouTube, search for experimentalairlines. All one word, maybe that might help, I've seen a few of his builds, awesome stuff

[danhampson]

cheers tony I'll have a look now.
I've just watched a 20 min video of a guy making an awesome looking wing out of one sheet FB got to the end of the video and there no bloody plans to download.

Have you looked at the FT Versa Dan?

I have a suggestion for you, Dan! Check out the Experimental Airlines Fast Delta Wing here:

Here is a "details" video on this wing:

Here is one of my flight videos with this plane:

It's just an awesome little wing. Costs very little to make. I have a 1500kv motor with an 8x6 prop, 40amp esc (it might be 30amp), and I can fly this little wing for nearly 15 minutes with a 3S 2200mah 35C pack. It flies very well at full throttle and it will also fly VERY slow really well. The glide slope is very nice. It's just a fun little wing!!!

Looks awesome that Derek... And easy to make...

[Derek]

It's very easy to make! From "start to finish", I can make the airframe in about 30 minutes. Add on another 30-45 minutes, roughly, to add on electronics and balance the cg. This little wing is one of my favorites that I have. The yellow and red wing, in the video, was crashed last year....100% pilot error, lol. I built a new one that is purple and orange. I have 127 flights on it right now. The motor and esc never get warm.

Lee suggested the FT Versa Wing. I don't own one but I have flown one and they fly very well. Awesome wing!

I have been slowly building a largish wing out of what we call coreflute, coroplast I think is another name for it.
No plans, no designs, I just building the biggest thing I can out of the sheets that I have.
I intend to make it a pusher with electronics I have lying around.
My motor is a left over quad one, 330w 1100kv with a 30 amp ESC.
I have several props to try but I will probably start with a 9x4.7 just because that's what I have lying around.
I also have some 8, 10 and 11 inch props if I need them.
This will have to fly on my 1800 3s quad batteries as once again that's what I have.
I guess I should get to finishing this thing and post some pics and a maiden.
Maybe even hang the Mobius on it for the maiden.
My eyesight is not good enough to fly LOS at any great distance so once I know if it works (or not) I will hang my FPV gear on it.
Hmmm, starting to feel some motivation again now, time to build a motor mount.

[danhampson]

I would love to see some pictures of that.

the motor ive got is 1180kv about 400w i think and a 40 amp esc ive got a 10x5 prop for that set up and 2200 3s.

i dont really want ot buy any parts just make it out of the parts bin.

Hey Dan! Based on what I see in the above picture, you pretty much have the same, or very similar, setup as to what I have on my Delta Wing. My wing is a puller but I imagine your same electronics will be well suitable for the FT Versa Wing, as well. I have that same rx on my Delta Wing, the AR6115e. I think it says "Microlite Park Flyer" but I have flown my wing so far vertical that I've lost visual sight of it many many times and it still comes down with a solid orange light.

I was going to recommend the versa. I built it but never got everything to fly it. Its a simple build that requires 3 or four sheets of foam board.
