The lack of this kind of crazy and fun stuff, on top of not really being very kid friendly, is one big reason why I long ago left the local fields.

    Putting the motors on the front of the wings would benefit the lift by providing airflow over the wing at low speed. The tail could almost be a single metal boom to reduce tail weight.

    • @TailHeavyProductions
      @TailHeavyProductions  Рік тому +2

      That's what's great about RC. It is a much simpler and more fun form of aviation that doesn't require an aero engineering degree to make things with. You don't need to take it as seriously as full scale - and for that reason it allows you to learn through trial and error. We were well aware the plane was going to be underpowered, but it was a fun project that we'll never forget full of awesome fun memories. Happy landings! -Zach

    Some advice from someone who learned the hard way... Center of gravity is everything. The most flyable plane in the world will still stall and crash if it's not balanced, and no amount of anything else is going to fix that. I've seen your other videos and I'm pretty sure that deep down inside you already know this :^)
    After that, I've seen the heaviest contraptions imaginable fly with enough airspeed. (My guess with this thing would be 20+ mph)
    Thumbs-up for effort and another for entertainment !

    What if you made the main wing move up and down as one big rudder?
    I would love to see someone making this, but maybe the airflow is going to be interrupted?
    Is anyone up for the challenge?

    foam is not the most light. must use plastic straws to make the wings in a hollow frame and thin plastic to cover the wings. the body could also be made of plastic straw bit must use reinforcements here and there if you want it to carry a load.
