    I would be stoked to see the two halves mated and separate in flight. Both landing on their own. Sick idea

    Imagine what a showstopper it would be if both halves were joined together in some way, then flip a switch on the transmitter then both halves separate in flight one goes left the other goes right and both carry on flying, just imagine the shock and the oohs and ah's of a crowed of people when they separate.

      Build a Bi-Plane out of a mono-plane kit and separate in flight the smaller of the 2 wings. The CG will probably need moving, in flight, which would be the easy part, and the plane should continue to fly, and land safely with probably some additional speed. This is all theory, but I am a retired Engineer, and a real pilot from 1978. Good Luck! Interesting problem!

    Thank you SO MUCH for providing an HONEST review. I was seriously considering this plane as the next addition to my hangar. I've only met one person who has one, and they fly like old people drive, barely moving, so of course he loves it. I'll be passing on this plane, thanks to your detailed review. Thanks again!

  • @JeffTanko

    A guy I used to fly with tried this years ago and got it working pretty well. He had the two planes joined with some super strong magnets so they could take off as one, split, then rejoin for landing(if both pilots could fly close and steady enough lol)

    That is awesome! I'm truly impressed you got it er them to fly at all.
    I like the Idea of putting them together and then separating them in midair. I'd also like to see you add a random section of wing (from some crashed plane or other project) in between the two haves P38 style. If that's not strange enough for you, put the two halves back together wing tip to wingtip. I think I'd remove the about 6's from both wing tips.

  • @scootergeorge7089
    @scootergeorge7089 Рік тому

    A rough landing with my control line Sig Banshee damaged the right (outboard) wing. Thought I fixed it with some Hot Stuff. A flight or two later, pulling out of a vertical 8, the wing departed. The plane stayed in the air! But, some control line speed planes were asymmetrical, having only the inboard wing.

  • @RCHobbyist463

    I'd like to see this attached together by something like a few servos. See you guys take off and fly a few laps with dual pilot cooperation and then separate mid-air. I don't see it going well which is the point and our entertainment. Might not be a good idea. That video might be too short. 😄

    The problem with your asymmetrical aircraft is that the moment of inertia is highly coupled. That Ixy term inherently couples your roll and pitch responses which makes it extremely unintuitive to fly, even if it’s “stable” in the traditional sense.
