wooooahhh ... i see a wing ...where's the rest of the plane !!! LOL
Cheers. Lovely stuff
Just like NASA's Prandtl-D wing. Except it took NASA 20+ years to design theirs. Swept, tapered flying wing with lots of washout (~12 degrees) and tip elevons just like yours with no rudders or fins. They also have a forward CG at 12%. The washout gives "proverse" yaw, so the turns are automagically coordinated. You've got it!
Yes, but the only thing bad about it is when you speed up a finless wing with washout things get a little bit weird. This plane is best as a floater, without a motor. It will climb in the lightest of thermals
I bet the reason the kit designer indicated to flip the elevons over to the opposite was to create reflex at the wingtip and add some washout. Both of which come in handy. Funny to hear you guys discussing one of my designs during the flight.
I'm honored, I remember hearing about the klingberg wing way back when I first started into hang gliding in the early 90s. Then of course AIR came out with the atos and blew everybody away, but not before the Exxtasy and all the other rigid Wings started dominating hang gliding
My dream was to build a Horten Ho IV with modern material's like carbon and Kevlar and experiment with more modern airfoils..
Cheers
The Paoli Wing seems to be a great design, but the approach the original designer had at the wing tips was not my idea of how a flying wing should be constructed, and I did add reflex in my redesign which Incorporated not flipping the elevons. I wish I had the time to finish thd new centersection i made for it. It will increase the wingspan 24 inches.
Holy crap, are you at funston? That's on my bucket list as far as places to fly on the West Coast, I've flown Torrey Pines, but that was before I got married LOL
I quit flying hang gliders in 1983, kind of got distracted by other things in life. I was building models. The hand launch, no RC, models I was making were very similar in structure to this, well, after about 20 design variations. I was working on one that would have been closer to the more modern double surface gliders. A fabric sail with 1/32 shaped plywood battens, and fishing pole blanks for the leading edges. I was still thinking of weight shift for controls, but the ailerons would have been a lot simpler.... Nice job.
Yeah, my last flight was in 2015. My daughter was getting to the age of needing more attention so I stopped hang gliding. I was looking at the sky just today saying how nice it would have been to be up there.
Very nice work ! Impressed with your putting the aileron V slot on the top.. where it belongs.
Yes, I also covered the gap with mylar so there is now no Gap. (It was a big gap)
It had an odd characteristic where when flying it seemed to have boundary layer separation which was very strange. I'm not quite sure if that was it or not, but it would dive a little bit and it would get real fast, until you kind of jerked it up a little bit, then it would slow down again. I suspected this is what it was and I put window brads out at the tips of the wing in front of the elevon's to break up the air a little bit over the flying surfaces.
I'll never forget the first time I flew it with a bunch of guys who had competition gliders on the hill, I mean these were $1,200 ships, and I had just climbed right through them on the first flight speced out over top of them.
It was glorious!
I still have it it's upstairs at my shop, but I have since made a 2-foot center section for it, but had to put it away recently due to starting construction on my Horten again.
I have a copy of an article in a French model magazine of the Paoli wing. I built and still fly this model. When setting up the elevons you must use deferential, more up than down. The I did not and struggled with adverse yaw. The article also has the wing section coordinates. In addition have a plan for flying wing using Clark Y!! From 1948 Mechanix Illustrated
Hello, im building a 2.5 balsa horten III. It's tailless and have questions of the stability. I want that plan!
@@hectormunoz3575 The Horten III had 6
@@hectormunoz3575 6 degrees of wash out. One way to get this is build the wing upside down and taper the washout from root to tip
Have you ever looked at the Kasperwing design? Real similar.
Yes, Kasper experimented with a concept called "vortex lift".
He swapped the elevons to the other tips. Yep, it's called reflex, creates positive CMO (pitch stability).
Back in about 1978 I designed a swept RC flying wing after reading and article on plank flying wings & reflex.
The article recommended reflexing the camber line from the 75% chord position. So, I decided to try a swept configuration and experimentally see if progressively changing for zero reflex at the root to a minimum reflex at the tip would significantly reduce the amount of reflex area required for stability. So I made several smaller free flight test models. Yes it does significantly reduce the reflexed area. I think I ended up with about the last 20-25% of the tip chord reflexed & zero reflex at the root. The tip was 60% of the root. So that gives about 7% reflexed area compared to the planks 25 % reflexed area to achieve a positive CMO.
So it seems to me the original design you messed up was probably better than your mod.
Yeah, flew hang glider back then too. Just because you can fly an aircraft, doesn't mean you know all the intricacies of airframe design. Are you familiar with the Horton bell shaped lift distribution or the 1033s Prandtl wing?
Original design I messed up?, go take the time to build one of these things, cut out the tips, and flip them upside down and take a good look at that bullshit that that guy had at the tips. I don't need a PhD in aircraft design to know that that original design was crap , and nobody's boasting anything just because I fly a hang glider dude. I added reflex to the trailing edge of this thing to help it out slightly, but that guy had some sort of strange experiment going on, and that's the reason why you've never seen one of these things fly before.
@@flashted I have built many RC models, including flying wings. Designed & built many from scratch, going back to the 70s for RC & the 60s for free flight & CL models. I have built models commercially as well. I know exactly what it takes to build them. Perhaps I'm not picturing your explanation correctly. It seems to me you described the original design cut the section at the reflex point & flipped it upside down. This is effectively the same as reflex.
…dont listen to the technical antisocial snobs…keep your integrity and continue experiment…thats the way that build experince…say an 70 year old boy…
Perfect music.
After watching that video again after years being past, I look back and I say to myself "wow I sure had a lot of time on my hands" Especially in the construction of those spoilers at the tip. I had forgotten how detailed they were. I actually constructed a center section for this aircraft, and made it even bigger with the hopes of recovering it and reworking it. But it seems lately I just can't seem to get my shit together to build anything anymore. And now one of my best friends has learned slicer programs, CAD programs, and has moved on to 3D printing airplanes. He's like 75 years old. So you can teach Old Dogs new tricks. There is hope, but little time.
Nice to see someone else is still using 35 mhz
Awesome i will Build this for sure (hang glider as well. Thanks
Nice work.
I am working in a similar design and I have a question; What is the wing twist you made, from root to tip?
I was not able to download your plans from the link in order to check it by myself. 😕
Hello, no twist, just a little bit of reflex at the back edge.
If you want the plans, reply back here and I will send you a link.
@@flashted Yes, I am interested. Thank you.
You mean same angle approach from root to tip?
Sorry, but my mother tongue is not English and maybe I am not using the appropriate technical words.
@@gonzalop.chomon327 Yes, same angle.

Very nice! Have been long looking for a video of a Paoli flying wing. It truly flies beautifully without signs of adverse yaw due to absence of the fins. Coincidentally, I' ve maiden my finless flying wing design 3 days ago. It is a 1 meter span design, without geometric washout. Washout is given purely by up elevon deflection, the elevons having the same planform as those of the Paoli flying wing. Only fact is that I used MH45 airfoil on the root, becoming a NACA009 in the tip. Mine alsk has a small booster motpr driving a pusher prop just for gaining altitude. In fact these type of flying wings rely on the Horten recipe: giving this planform shape on the elevons and deflecting them up creates a "kinda" bell shaped lift distribution, eliminating adverse yaw, even creating proverse yaw when the wing is balanced correctly.
Hello, Yes, it fly's well. That video was shot in 25 mph plus winds. I had a power pod on it, but I felt that it caused to much drag. The problem I am finding out with a "pure" flying wing planform is that when a lot of power is added, things get interesting.
If you go to this video, at the 2:24 mark you will see what I mean.
czcams.com/video/ZSkCftbTmCM/video.html
Love the fact that he saved it...
Saying the original design was 'wrong' without trying it seems narrow-minded. Could easily imagine how swapping ailerons of that shape could have the effect of building in progressive washout as move towards the wingtips, and that is a characteristic of several true flying wings I've seen. But anyway congrats on the project and the discipline it takes to complete such a project!
Beautiful workmanship!
@@georgekforrpv6857 There is an order in the universe, and that's the ideal model to follow. There is also something called Chaos Theory, which is what I was trying to avoid.
I've always liked the flying wing config and I think I will be building this aircraft once I clear my bench of airframes and wreckage. One question: I notice that you say Eppler 207 in the description, but the airfoil in the plans doesn't look like the '207.
BTW, I have been building wings from foam and glass, and if it all works out I will probably have cores to sell if anyone is interested.
Hey, if I remember right, the original laser coordinates had two airfoils. 205 and the 207 eppler. It could be the 205. There could be an error on the plans. I will have to check.
The plans are free, I do believe there is a link on the video. Not only that, but I think the website that I uploaded the plans to includes about 100 pictures that I took during the construction of it also. The plane in the video I constructed in 2 halves. The plans show three pieces, two outer panels and a center section which is really the way to go. Keep in mind that the plans show older graupner spoilers out at the tips of the Wings, which are unavailable if I remember right, but the pics show ones you can make yourself, although complicated.
At one point I was going to foam core it, and Skin it in carbon fiber, or completely Hollow mold it with the vacuum infusion method.
Ideally now, it would be best to 3D print this thing. But the problem is it depends on where you're going to be flying it. If you fly on a trash mound like I do, it would be best to make this thing out of EPP. If you're lucky enough to have a flying site on the coast of California, Ireland, or Australia where you can top land safely, you could make it out of something that's a little bit more fragile,yet lighter, and more efficent.
Remember, Epp is very heavy though. It could even be made out of foam board very cheaply.
Currently I am working on a 3D printed Horton ho-229 V2 that uses 2 50mm or maybe 64 mm ducted fans if I can get them to fit.
I'm going to do a new video soon, as I picked up a lot of subscribers out of nowhere all the sudden. I've been away because I had to move, covid, all that nonsense.
@@flashted Yep, it looks a lot more like the Eppler 205. I haven't plotted it out to check it properly yet, and will drop you a line when I have done so.
I have built a plane or two out of 3D printed components in the past. They worked out well enough, but I am a bit old school and for the moment I am sticking to foam composites. Heck, I love the smell of epoxy in the morning!
You guessed right - I live on the East coast of Australia and have the luxury of a mown grass runway that goes as far as the eye can see, plus some pretty decent cliffs. I also have a few acres of grass up to my armpits for those first flights ...
BTW, I have recently built a Verhees Delta from a kit and they offer a small Horten wing that you might like. They do a good job on their kits, and the Horten can be found at www.rbckits.com/shop/flying-wings-deltas.html
@@nenadstojadinovic8326 Nice
didnt know RBC was still in business. Love that BV 212, although I have plans for it, a kit would be nice.
How about inventing a hang glider?
Was thinking about making a modern version of the Horten Ho IV, or VI, but with carbon fibre kevlar etc..
Ron Klingberg is living the same dream, but with his own design..

another hangee. right on
good work. bravo, for SEEING that there were DEFECTS in the original design/plans. at 10:13, the balsa stock used in making the main spar is TOO BULKY; the result is a significant Reduction in the integrity of the each rib.! instead, smaller Spruce or poplar Should be used.!!! at 21:42, CF is HEAVY.!!!!! do NOT use it, if wood or bamboo will do the job.!!!!! you may know that a pushrod Should be PERPENDICULAR to its associated hinge line. googletranslate
Yes, it could use a complete redesign, I intended to vacuum Hollow mold this Wing from carbon fiber. The airfoil on the wooden plane was not consistent enough for me from root to tip. The airfoil could be also updated, as the airfoil used was semi-symmetrical.
The aircraft was used as a personal design study to see if a "true" tailless, finless wing could be fairly stable without spinning flippity floppy out of the air without the anhedral in the design, as found in my hang glider.
I achieved my goal.
Just noticed the Fox motocross jersey...
Yeah believe it or not, we're all hang glider Pilots not Motocross racers

Chopping out half the D-tube is not good. Modern servos are routinely built into the structure, just glue those hatches on.
Yeah, I know that now. what I really wanted to achieve with this thing was basically to prove the design and then I was going to mold it out of fiberglass and carbon. It would be very difficult to cut it out of EPP. Green foam and vacuum bag it maybe. It had a few inconsistencies in the leading edge, because it's made out of wood and if you sand a little bit too much here you mess the air foil up slightly, you sand a little bit too much there you mess the airfoil up. I noticed this when I sighted the leading edge from the tip looking towards the cord. But, it flies. the original builder, on his web page, flipped the elevans from one side to another and God only knows what kind of airfoil he had at the tip. my plans corrected all that. it's a great plane, I remember one of the first times I flew it with a bunch of competition guys flying Pike perfects, I climbed right through them and their jaws were like whoa!
but after all the most efficient Wing possible for flight is a pure flying wing that's tailless, just like a bird.
That's next for me I have some bird designs that I'm going to put up on my CZcams channel. All made from EVA foam.

You have to question the idiot who slammed into you. How could they Not see you there.
Yeah, it was an incredibly windy day. There were a lot of planes up also, but usually mid air's are pretty rare. Even when we did combat with zagi type flying wings, it was pretty difficult to hit people who you wanted to hit LOL
I haven't been up there in a while, so I decided to rework an old Great Planes bird of time into an autonomous soaring fpv plane. I'm going to post a new video covering it soon.
