Seyaa!

Hi!!

I found this picture but I would need one or two more and informations about how this plane flyes.
Bye!

Hi,

Here's some information:

Wingspan: 2200 mm
All-up weight: 1430 g
Wing area: 44.90 dm2
No. of NC cells: 7
Wing Loading: 31.80 g/dm2
All-up weight (10 NC sub C): 1430.00 g
Length: (from spinner to end of rudder) 1040 mm.

RC functions:
Rudder
Elevator
Motor speed (500)

It flies very predictable and it recovers immediately from a stall. It's an easy plane to fly and land. When you give full rudder it will swing first a bit and then it rolls very nice. It glides very well! I think his L/D is 1:50!

Pictures can you find here:

Is this enough or do you need more info?

Tnx!

Peter.

No!!

Actually, I think that's enough!

May'be, I can put it here on thursday!!
Bye!

Thank you very much Danth!!

Peter, I just want to tell you that I'm sorry. I didn't start your plane yet, but I have a very good reason!!!
MY LITTLE SISTER BORNED YESTERDAY!!

Yes, and because of that, I haven't used the computer on the last two days (yesterday).

I'll make your model soon, probably, before saturday. Ok?

I tell you again that I'm sorry.

BYE!

It's ready!!!

Yes, it's ready but I had some troubles while creating it... I saw the pictures in your page, after constructing the plane! Can u believe? ehehe

I'll wait for you to tell me some things that must be changed on FreeWind ok? Bye!

I didn't put the picture *_prv.jpg yet because I couldn't take a good one, but I'll put it later. =-]

Hope you like it!

Very nice Danth! I Like it very much!!!

Can you adjust the speed, it flies a little bit to slow, with engine out it flies about 4 - 5 m/s in FMS, can you make that around 7 or 8 m/s. Also when engine out, it decends with around -1,3 m/s can you make that about -0,6 m/s.
It glides very well IRL!

If you can fix these minor problems, I am very, very happy!!!

Thanks!!

Peter.

by **Danth** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 6:01 pm

Ok! The changes you asked have been maid! =]

I would like if you could test it again and tell me what you think about it now! =-]
OK??
Please, check if when it's with full engine, the model flies to slow.
Well, test everything! eheheh

Hope you like it, bye!

Err, Where's the link Danth? Actually it is a glider but it has an engine only for gaining hight, if you are high enough you shut off the engine and then the gliding begins and you search for a thermal.

But If you can give the link, I will test it.

Peter.

by **Peter4** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 8:22 pm

Sorry, I found out later that the link is the same but you uploaded it again. Now it flies better, but it glides even better (IRL) than this, now I came on -1,0 m/s with a speed of 8 m/s (that's the normal flying speed) Can you make this around -0,6 m/s with a speed of 8m/s.

Not that important but I'd like to keep it up in the air long :p

Not with 30 seconds at the deck again

PS The stabilizor is a little to small, can you make it around 5 cm wider?

Thanks Danth!

Peter.
