Half Sheet No Waste Series Preview

Hello again everyone...

This is a brief preview of my next adventure, "Half Sheet No Waste Series".  This is my next step in attempting a workable indoor concept for the FT foamboard building method.

Here are the first three in the series:

Tops: 

And bottoms:

Here are the plans that I built the protoptypes from:

The concept is very similar to my "One Sheet No Waste Series" but simplified somewhat to minimize weight.  I have not planned any hatches or landing gear.  There are no bottom panels on the wings.  The servos are 5 g.  The tail booms are skewers instead of dowels. The two twin-tail designs are three channel.  I did go to 4 channel on the flying wing partly because it has more wing area and partly because I just wanted to play with 4 channel on a wing.

These range in weight from 224g (7.9 o) to 238g (8.35) oz ready to fly.

So far I have done one short fight with each outside.  Inside trials next.

I am working on 4 channel versions of the twin tail designs.  I would have had them done except for running out of small motors and servos.  Thankfully X-Mas is close by.  

I hope to have the full article by New Years.

Well, I said short.  That is it.  Just a little teaser.

Have a good holiday.  See you New Years.
