The Fury Flyer- 54" Scratch build FPV Flying Wing

by bixler13 | February 4, 2013 | (12) Posted in Projects

 

The Fury Flyer is a 56" flying wing that is made out of Dollar Tree Foamboard. In the future I intend to FPV this plane. The wing is very stable and has very good flight characterists. It is also a very simple and cheap build. It only needs 3 sheets of foamboard to construct the plane.

Dimensions
Wingspan-54"
Root Chord-12"
Tip Chord-6"
Sweep-14"
Blunt Nose Width-12"
Ailerons-2"
Cg:6.5" from leading edge
Here is a link to all the dimensions and a picture

Electronics
Motor-EMP 3536 1400kv
Esc-60amp
Battery- Two 2650 Turnigy Nanotech
Servos-Parkzone DSC130M (I would recommend stronger ones)
Prop-9x7.5


The plane a has a armin wing airfoil. At the root, the former is 1.5" tall and at the tip it is .75" tall. Here is a picture of the formers and wooden/carbon rods in this plane.

The plane currently is carrying two 2650 3s lipos and a go pro. And it still is not very heavy at all!! The 3s lipos and the 3536 motor push it around very nicely. I'm sure i could put two 3500's or with a 4s lipo I could get two 5000mah packs in there! The go pro inst needed but for my case, I plan on getting aerial video. I don't have a scale so I couldn't tell you how heavy it is but it is not very heavy at all! It is actually a challenge sometimes to land it because it just wants to keep on gliding. With the two 2650mah lipos in parallel I am expecting to get around 20-25 min run times.

Although the wingtips may look small they do their job very well. they are 4.5 inches tall and then covered in Black strapping tape for extra rigidity. On the far right wingtip I have mounted my receiver and satilite receiver as shown bellow.

I covered the whole entire plane is packing tape. I did this because the paper is very brittle and if it gets wet its starts to peel. Here are some more pictures!

Very nice. Great to have all that real estate in the center section for electronics.

I do have an auto-cad file that I could send you. I am currently working on converting the plans to pdf

I don`t know if i have a program that can handle auto-cad files. So i'd like to wait for the pdf plans. Thank you for trying to make the pdf`s.

Very nice flying design!!! I am looking for an FPV platform and i think it will fit the bill for load carrying and duration if i use one of the long range systems

I'm having a really hard time figuring out the elevons on this thing. Are they added seperately, or were they supposed to be a single part with the wing? I fear I may have cut something wrong...

They can be added separately.
