I would just like to mention the winglets are for efficiency of a wing not stability it prevents air at normal pressure from going above the wing to lower pressure by preventing it to vortex around the wing tips they are not required and add a significant amount of weight so I would recommend removing them on the next design
Winglets are anti-vortex devices that reduce drag- they do not add stability. For that you need dihedral. The angle of attack of the wing vs the stabilizer is also for stability, it does not affect the thrust. You also need to consider the motor thrust line and the C of G (which should be just behind the centre of lift)- you could have got the distance you did without power. Best way to get more thrust is a brushless motor. Add R/C while you are at it- the extra weight is very little these days. And recruit a pilot- small planes require skill.

Nice attempts, I think to make it fly you need Aileron controled with 2 SG90 servo motor and a remote controller ;)
Wow! Impressive!
excited to see where this project goes!
Great information 🎉🎉
My dad got a 3d printer and made a plane that's like 1.5 meter long he made the airframe out of 10 diffrent pieces
That's awesome! Which 3D printer?
Maybe you should add some aileron/rudder twist to counter the propeller torque. Don't forget Newton's Third Law!
Haha, kinda worried about Newton's Third Law
you need a dihedral.
Yes! The next plane will have two separate parts for the wing, it wasn't really possible with the way we were printing it this time.
@@hackertwins you can heat up the middle and bend so you have dihedral no need to overthink
