    Calculations while designing aircraft? Who needs calculations? We don’t need no calculations!!!
    Oh yeah, paint it sky blue. Perfect color for an aircraft that you need to see while flying!

      a little darker would be better, should have drawn lines for the fenders and doors with a sharpie real quick too. battery directly under motor might be a good spot so the motor and some of the battery are as far forward as possible. little carbon fiber X brace at the front adds tiny amount of weight where it'd help, and add a little rigidity, spray paint some fiberglass window screen mesh and put the hood right on the hood line (it'll breathe but help push nose down a little too + appearance). use white foam board for the top, re-draw the line so the rear of the car top is 1/8" lower, to help the rear lift up flatter.....
      these just things I'd look at messing with to make it happen better.
      little longer skewer directly into the body up front especially for its "axles"

    • @BillAnt
      @BillAnt Před 5 lety +1

      Nehh... just take the hood off, and see if it flies better... yep that's the ticket! :D

    Absolutely hilarious. We just binge watched the Potter movies during the covid lock down . You not only captured the look of the car but the fact that it appears to be flying due to pure magic vs any form of aerodynamic principles. 🤣 Almost sprayed my laptop with rum and coke when the midair drone strike occurred.

    Nice video. Here's a suggestion if you decide to re-visit this in the future. I didn't see anyone mention it, or maybe I just missed it. Many designs have the plank wing going from the front and top of the hood down to the bottom of the trunk. Some are straight and some have an S shape. Great work, guys!

  • @hockeyguy820
    @hockeyguy820 Před 5 lety

    Adding the hood moved the center of lift of the entire aircraft forward, so for pitch stability you need to move the CG forward too. Think of a canard or tandem wing airplane. The more lifting surface you have up front the more you need to move the CG forward. Or just hang on the prop all day :)

    At first when Josh and Josh ran the channel I loved it. But once more people joined in I started to enjoy the videos less and less up to the point where I simply didn't watch them anymore and I unsubscribed.
    Recently I was talking about RC planes with someone, and I looked up a video of yours. In the suggestions I saw some cool things which I clicked on. And I must say, I never expected this group to become this amazing.
    You are all really enthusiastic in your own ways and you're doing crazy projects.
    I'm a little bit sad that there aren't many new modular builds anymore though. But I'm still really glad that I had that one conversation which brought me back to the channel :D

  • @mattyp80
    @mattyp80 Před 5 lety

    Alex, couple of points: with the bonnet (sorry) - hood - where it is, it is acting like a cannard control surface being so far fwd! if you look at the real Anglia, the bonnet slopes down slightly between the two headlamp tunnels (like a Porsche but not as exaggerated)! you could do this with a slightly steeper angle and the result would be to bring the front/nose/motor end down. Same with the boot (sorry again) - trunk - that angles down slightly towards the rear on the real thing also! If you combine the effects of the bonnet(hood) and the boot(trunk) you shouldn't need too much drastic angle on either! With the rudder, I would mount a servo upside down on the underside of the boot(trunk) with a tee horn on and use the rear portion of the side plates cut so as not to interfere with the elevons then you should have much better rudder control!
    Don't know if these points are worth considering or are after the stable door is shut but might be useful on further projects!?!

  • @jasontaylor6595
    @jasontaylor6595 Před 5 lety

    My take on this design is that it could be enhanced by moving/adding elevators on the roof of what is the boot. That way you could keep the hood but thrust vector the air down with elevators after it’s travelled through the prop/ hood/ middle of car then hit the elevator and been forced down to counter the pitch up? It should add wing surface area too which may improve glidelope once a level pitch has been established?

    I wonder if you could curve the floor pan to make an under cambered airfoil to give you more lift at a slower speed.

    Use the aileron to activate breaks or rub on the wheels so it can tank steer plus the airflow rudder. Some planes use that I think.

    Mailbox slot in the middle would allow for better airflow control at high alpha.
