  • @rango_unchained
    @rango_unchained Рік тому

    That was awesome! What are the chanceabilities of making one similar, but turning the back of the plane into the front? The front would be fixed with a very short nose. Turn the circle wing around putting your lift up front. Keep the left and right horizontal stabilizers and short stationery rudder in the rear. The short wheel stance stays up front as well and the rear wheel becomes a much shorter tail dragger. Oh yeah, keep it silver. I think this would make for an even more alien looking spacecraft.

    Rigid airship, please. Make it so that mylar party balloons fit in between the spars and those will hold your helium. It doesn't need to be fully buoyant, I would bet. In fact, it might not really need lifting gas at all. And, if it doesn't float too much, it would be able to glide.

    @FliteTest How do you decorate the planes shown? What materials did you use to decorate?
    I just built my first tiny trainer glider out of two pizza boxes. Use your great plans! Put two pages on one A4 sheet to scale it down. Used same build techniques, though with uhu power glue (it's what I had). Used a little tape on some key areas to strengthen. Thinking of using a school (display or teaching) though would laser cut to avoid knife use. Glides well! Would like to fly it, but inner city UK so no go 🫤. THANKS SO MUCH for all you guys do.
