    I flew a duct-taped covered Bloody Wonder in every combat I could, supplemented by a mini combat winning mini Sparrow. At the end of Flite Fest, I scrapped the Bloody Wonder, but a family in Tennessee grabbed it and it flew again! My Wonder became a Versa Wing, and it's looking for a re-match with the home built that took it down in epic fashion. Best part of Flite Fest: Foam carnage!

  • @mycorona66
    @mycorona66 2 роки тому +26

    i think this "glassed" design is a big improvement but i think you should mount the props at the trailing edge of the wing so you can ram other planes without causing prop damage.

      I've been toying with this idea for a while now. Any thoughts are welcome. I was thinking along the lines of a large ( 1.6 meter), lightly loaded foamboard wing with a pair of 4s 64mm fans. Already have one from a crashed Arrows Marlin and simple enough to order a match from Hobby Zone. What are y'all's thoughts?

      I was just thinking that, some way of shielding the props from hits and even stuff like the string, assuming thats within the spirit of the event. I am guessing its meant to be more for fun than "being the best". I'd love to see something like a Do-335 in the FliteTest foamboard, that would be a beast of a plane speedwise

    My 2 or 3 cents:
    Mount the Props in the wings, in armored nacelles
    Armor the servo and connectors with pvc
    Include a stiff spring in the servo connection to dampen any impact on the control surfaces,
    Lastly make a 4 engine design, with pusher and puller engine providing primary thrust, and key the side engines to provide up to 50% forward thrust, but up to 100% when using them for yaw control
