10:44 aileron chord is PART OF the wing chord.! results tend to be less-than optimal when ailerons are 'added to' the trailing edge of a completed wing.
Great build, I noticed the tape is put in a different direction on the wing build process. My experience is that longitudinal taping helps to reduce the wing flex due to the tension of the tape.
I am wondering if he used the CF rod he used for spacing the strips inside the wing as a spar. If he did, no need for the longitudinal stiffness from the tape. If not, the lengthwise tape would be needed. But maybe only a strip or 2, not the entire covering.
What kind of motor mount is that? I have seen some but they don't seem to have the same dimensions. Following along with this build and building one of my own. Thanks for videos and your great explanations.
Hello good morning: In one of his videos I have seen a method to transport a flying wing in two halves. Right now I am no longer able to find that video. Would you be so kind as to tell me which video it is from? Do you have a tutorial where you explain how to do it? Thank you very much, kind regards 👍

information 2:30 the use of full strip ailerons is not recommended. to the extent practical, a control surface should have the shape of a Parallelogram.
There's 2 kinds of people in the world: 1. Those who never thought we'd see long range drones mage of cardboard taking out airbases. 2. Experimental Airlines subscribers. 😉😁
Brilliant, Nathan! Really beautiful build!!! 😃 Just one question, what is the motor size you used? It looks pretty big!!! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You can see at 6:31 that he is using a BR4108 and he stated at the beginning of the video that he is using the 480KV version. I found this motor online for about $24. That motor is swinging a 14" prop on this build and uses a 50amp ESC. Not sure how he mounted that prop tho.
2:10 he is using the L9R (FrSky) receiver. These long range planes are frequently waypoint controlled from the flight controller using the iNav software. In other words, iNav can be configured for autonomous flights. In this case he is using the Mateksys 405 Wing flight controller. The other thing to note is that he is using a 600 mW video transmitter, because it is important to step up the power output when flying distance. On top of that you need to position the GPS away from this high powered video transmitter which on a plane of this size should not be a problem.
Yes, but it would be exponentially more difficult and time consuming to build. The whole reason these build techniques exist the way that they do is to make building them cheap and easy so that crashing them and iterating on their design isn't an expensive time sink. You can see more elaborate and aerodynamic builds with something like Flite Test's "Master Series".
install electronics in fuselage.....find the balance point of the fuselage.........measure the cord of your wing 1/3 back from leading edge to find the CG of the wing.....now place your wings CG point over the balance position of your fuse and you are close enough to get it in the air
Adding to what @mwbvideos good info. Besides installing, or temporary placing the electronics in/on fuselage, you'll also need to place motor (on tail), battery and servos, as they would be positioned between front and rear when completed. Using a rubber band(s) is one way to hold in place. (can even be external initially at this stage). Moving/positioning the battery (front/rear) at this stage can help you better find an preferred location (as it will alter CoG balance point, and thus where wing is placed, as well as position of the battery hatch opening)
whatever a vert-stab's shape, it should Not extend below the plane of the horiz-stab/wing.!!! because doing so creates Two unnecessary drag-making ninety degree angles.!!!
I like your RC builds. I am a pilot and I used to fly RC years ago. I've had a couple of near misses with drone type aircraft in the last two years. When flying at full size aircraft speeds, there is no see and avoid when it comes to drones and small rc builds. They go by so fast, that it's just luck that there was no collision. I immediately report this to ATC hoping that something can be done to mitigate the potential disastrous outcome of a collision with private aircraft. I truly hope that you and others that are operating autonomous models are incorporating some type of collision avoidance equipment in your builds. Please keep in mind that there are real people flying around with their families in small planes. A collision could kill us. Have fun with your models but please be aware of conflicting traffic.😁
This isn't a drone.. It's got nearly a 6ft wingspan. As far as I know, there is not one single incident in the history of USA aviation where a model plane has caused a crash of a full scale plane. You are already getting your wish with the insane over regulation coming down soon.

Hello..what is the angle of incidence..? Thanks..

it is a simple fact that the darker an aircraft is, the WARMER it will get when flying is sunny conditions.!!!
What kind of motor mount is that? I have seen some but they don't seem to have the same dimensions. Following along with this build and building one of my own. Thanks for videos and your great explanations.
Great build! What sort of tape is being used? Is it standard duct tape?

Very nice build and thanks for sharing.
bro it seems you own two channels? amazing.

Always the victim Robert? Just intubated a 30 year old who died of the flu. Grow up and take your drivel somewhere else

@@wa389 Thank you! 😊
6:38 so, attach the metal motor mount to plastic to foamboard. got it. lol and don't use any screws.
Can put a link of where you purchase your Depron sheets.
Can you fly it using only receiver only not flight control ? Am really confused
Where do you source your Depron Sheets?
Watched the APD vid, and I realised that this was supposedly the original Peace Drone design.
What is the front of fuselage, large or short part?
What type of remote control are you using? How do you make its range reach 10 km?
2:10 he is using the L9R (FrSky) receiver. These long range planes are frequently waypoint controlled from the flight controller using the iNav software.

Круто получается
WAY COOL
EDIT: DO A BARREL ROLL
what material did you use for the main wing and all the fuselage
foamboard 5mm.
Question;
Would a cylindrical fuselage make a less draggy plane?
Yes, but it would be exponentially more difficult and time consuming to build. The whole reason these build techniques exist the way that they do is to make building them cheap and easy so that crashing them and iterating on their design isn't an expensive time sink.

@@CDRaff I think not. If you can buy shipping tubes for posters. They come in all sorts of diameters and are cheap as dirt.
@@CDRaff I built one from a poster shipping tube with 1 layer of fiberglass I dont worry about crashes
How did you place the CG when you came up with design? it seems so far back
install electronics in fuselage.....find the balance point of the fuselage.........measure the cord of your wing 1/3 back from leading edge to find the CG of the wing.....now place your wings CG point over the balance position of your fuse and you are close enough to get it in the air

9:50 CF is HEAVY.!!! USE WOOD. pine or spruce or clear grained poplar.
What do you think is the angle of incidence..? Thanks..
❤🎉
Where is Ed?
מה עם הכיוונים בשלט לא הסברתה

12:29 get RID of these things.!

Thanks for contributing to the death of the hobby with your more than dubious claims!

Ardu pilot does include avoidance if the other aircraft has a transponder. I don't know how well it works, but I've seen it in the docs.
Why did the thumbnail look identical to another video from @AeroStuffFPV?
Aerostuff FPV has been contributing to and driving this channel for a while now. He collab'd with the OG EA guy to set it all up.
