    Wonderful ! Nice flight !

    Isn't it amazing how simple controlled flight really is, ...and yet,
    it took man thousands of years of technological understanding to achieve the simple demonstration for this video.

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  Місяць тому

      Indeed. Flight is so complex, but true skill is reducing it to its minimum components.

    A note for those building the Tandemite: the motorstick brace has been added to multiple finished planes in order to fix a reluctance to climb at high torque. If Josh had done this, it would be clawing its way up at a 40-degree grade!

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  3 місяці тому

      I was only launching at .35-.4 in oz which is why it climbed so sedately. With a big flaring prop it must be absolutely amazing.

  • @RedstonePyroMan

    haha perhaps I should have tossed in more strip wood. These have been doing well with 5/16" wing offset, but it looks like yours has done ok without any. Flight times have been improving with bigger props like the IKARA wide blade and .100" rubber. My last test hop was 2:19, so I anticipate a 2:30 sometime soon.

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  3 місяці тому +1

      It could have done 2:30 in there if I'd had slightly thicker rubber and more time, but I felt it was more important to get the video released than to wait another week for better footage. It's clearly a very capable airplane. No worries on the wood, I had enough, just pushed it a bit trying to be cute. Oops!

    60 years ago, I used wax paper to cover the the plan. I used parchment paper for the skin. And I soaked balsa wood in water so it could get the arch!

    • @joshuawfinn

      Yup! Parchment paper is supposed to be non-stick but some of it isn't.

    Nice recovery from strikes. This plane can tolerate ceiling bumping. That is a big advantage in low ceilings. Most of the SO planes have a far higher apogee than the ceilings flown under.

    8 grams is light for this kind of model? I've had models with similar airframes and similar glide to weight ratio come out at about 2.5 grams they flew about the same I didn't realize 8g was acceptable in my mind anything over 4 was requiring a rebuild. I have a Davis DA2A peanut scale model that came out flying at six and i thought it was heavy.

      Competition rules to limit performance; also most of the students operating these have almost no building or flying background.

    I love it joushua can you tell me other woods I can use instead of balsa wood I’m your biggest fan I’m a ten year old boy I really love F1D but every time I make one it does not fly please tell me other types of wood and a tutorial on how to make it

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  3 місяці тому +1

      What is your reason for wanting to avoid using balsa? There are some tutorials around for making some basic models using bamboo, however it is quite difficult. It is not possible to build an F1D without balsa.

      @@sulaimanbalout order it online. Good balsa is not available in stores. Model Aviation Products has contest grade wood suitable for everything down to Pennyplane, and you can get 1/64" contest C grain from Specialized Balsa so you can make ministicks and F1L (1.2g EZB). F1D will require you to order from indoorffsupply.com as they are the only supplier of such wood.
