Foamboard spec wing tutorial and plans
The plans can be downloaded from here: fpvwra.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Spec-Wing-FoamBoard-Plans.zip
This is the FPVWRA Spec legal foamboard airplane. This is 100% free to share and build or even produce if you want to make your own kit. I am giving this free of charge to the RC community to allow the foamboard builders to be able to race in the FPVWRA's most popular class: Spec wing.
The DXF file is the one I used for my CNC laser. The motor mount can be made from 1/4" or 1/8" plywood.

FPVWRA Rules - Where they came from and why
Переглядів 9297 років тому
In this video I explain where the FPVWRA rules came from and why we set them as they are. The reason for this is so that the pilots understand our rationale when making decisions and not randomly making it up as we go.

This is just an off-the-cuff video about the formation of the FPVWRA. This is why it was formed and the mission of the group. We'd love to have you racing with us.

    seems like an easy build , one thing not mentioned anywhere is the scale of the printed plans or what paper size they shoudl be printed on. Flite test includes a scale on theirs so you can zoom in and out and find the sweet sport to print it . Does anyone have any info on this ?

    Sure would like to start some micro wing racing, especially with great Analog and light HD video becoming affordable. I'm not sure why the WRA seemed to fissile except the by the overwhelming whoop and freestyle wave. Wings are just so much simpler yet still an exciting ride and competition.

    • @bkpickell
      @bkpickell 2 роки тому

      There should be an option to print tiles. If not you can take it to a print shop and they can print it for a couple bucks. Although if I were to go through all that I would just take the dxf files to a makers space and laser cut them. And you should only have to print out one if you print them. As they should be symmetrical. Print out one template and just flip it over for the opposite wing.
