You should try an inverted v tail on your next build. Like the RQ7 shadow drone. more complicated to build perhaps but it has the advantage of naturally giving coordinated turns
Beautiful work, dude! Nicely done!!! 😃 The only thing I'd change (and that's probably what I'm going to do) is to fix the tail in the airplane with nylon screws. You know? Probably with a piece of hardwood or aluminum with threaded holes and glued from the inside... Or something, I don't know. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hotglue on bottom plus 2 plastic cards on either side is extremely strong. adding screws and hardwood to tail will make it more tail heavy than it already is with servos in back. It's unnecessary. the foamboard will fail long, long before these glue joints lol
Hi can anyone help, I’m puzzled as to whether to add trim tabs to my unpowered swept back wing prob tail would have 1/2 vertical stabilizer on flat horizontal stabilizer plane model, it’s going to rubber launched from a ramp. Since I’m not using motor/ RC to control the flight , shld I still cut in trim tabs (or do I add wing extensions near the end for stability) into the wings? My goal is to make the flight as straight w/o deviations as much as poss
INFORMATION :58 servos do NOT, repeat NOT, go at the tail.!!!!! the pushrod ends are NOT correctly bent, at the control horn ends.! 19:58 a tail boom SHOULD be TAPERED as Much as is practical. that means, taper of the tail boom should begin near where the 'cockpit' would be.! the use of correct taper improves the dom of the airframe and reduces the auw.!!! dom is distribution of mass. d
Welcome back 🎉
Thanks for this! I made my very first "noob tube" a few weeks ago and look forward to integrating a V-tail into future designs.
Good to see the channel active again!!
Bingo on difficult pusher/canard cg. Appears to fly very well. Good demonstration on basic v-tail rudder-vator movements at end. Have you tried balsa?
yoooo exair is back
Excited to see your new builds! I’ve been using dollar tree cricut vinyl to cover and decal my planes. I reckon I’ll make a video .

Thanks for sharing!
Awesome!
I just love the way wifie launches your planes ❤, mine looks just the same 😂
Awesome technique and beautiful plane
Great V tail build. What kind of foam board are you using? Jeff in LA USA

@@MrKyle700 Yeah, you're absolutely correct there... But I wanted to make the tail removable for transport. You know?
What tape do you use and where would one get it??
Do you have a video showing how to make the motor mount?
COOL work friend!

Maybe so, but seems to perform very well as is.
Why can't servos go at the tail? it just adds a bit of tail weight. But then you don't have to deal with bendy or springy pushrods. Much stiffer.
Excellent instructional video. Awesome 70s porn soundtrack, too.
