Invee - Inverted V-Tail Swappable Armin Wing

by RAetron | February 19, 2013 | (7) Posted in Projects

I wanted to make a maneuverable plane using the swappable power pod that would fair well in wind (as we seem to always have these days), what I came up with I call the Invee. The Invee is a simple plank style 7" Armin wing with a twin boom inverted v-tail. The wing+tail is attached to the FT swappable power pod setup in pusher configuration. This design minimizes the cross section exposed to the wind and allows for a camera to be placed up front out of the view of the propeller.

First (successful) flight:

Second flight:

Specs and mixes:

I will do a build video ASAP.

I like to think so - I don't have a manufactured aircraft to compare it to.
It seems to respond exactly as I ask it to and would expect it to, any flaws in the flying seen in the videos I attribute to my abilities. The only component I haven't gotten working to my liking is the flaperons, but that is completely optional.

Very simple looking, yet complicated airframe ... very nice job… what is it covered with?

Thanks! It is just packing tape from Wal-Mart on the Adams foam board. My daughter picked out the colors!
