You may also use a 2s pack that has a weight of 40grams to achieve the right balance. We will be frequently updating this page as the build progresses. Check back often for updates If you have any questions on this build, please post in the comment section below. Follow me on social media.
This looks super fun. Would you consider selling a set of cores? Here's my suggestion: experiment with what plugs into where until you achieve the desired elevon control. You can switch which servo is plugged into which row of pins, and you can swap the v-tail mixer's wires among the elevator and aileron channels.
The linkage stopper is mounted in the middle hole of the control horn the hole had to be drilled out ever so slightly and a drop of super glue holds the nut in place so the linkage stopper can rotate freely. I made sure the holes of the control horn were lined up with the hinge of the elevon. I sanded the bottom of the control horn and attached it with a dab of hot glue. It's not the strongest, but if or when it rips off, it won't damage the elevon.
Just glue it right back on! Trim the elevons until they don't touch the winglet when you give up elevator. I had a motor mount laser cut out of stiff plastic, but you can use wood or maybe even plastic ID card material. My motor mount is a bit small - the motor has very little clearance when mounted.
I had to extend the mounting slot all the way to the back, otherwise the top surface of the wing would interfere with the motor.
Any small screw with a wide head should work. Anywhere the motor mount won't be sticking to, reapply tape to hide the glaring white patch. The ESC is mounted as far forward as is allowed by the length of the wires. Velcro is used for this - stick it right on top of the tape. It is okay if the velcro is not mounted on a flat surface. Mine is right in the middle of an airfoil bend, and the Velcro conforms to it nicely. You can fit the ESC wires through that and into the hatch area.
Color the edges with black Sharpie to hide it. There's no doubt that the Sharpie makes the hole look better. After a short flight with the 8x4 prop, the motor and ESC were negligibly warm, if not the outside temperature. Flite Test suggests a slightly nose heavy balance for all of their planes, which means the plane's nose dips down slightly when balanced at the CG mark.
From my experiences, the slightly nose heavy balance is too nose heavy - a neutral balance seems to work for me. With a slightly nose heavy plane, I feel like I'm constantly riding the elevator, which I don't like.
Use your own discretion with balancing. Keep in mind that I have the v-tail mixer crammed in the VERY front underneath the little overhang that the hatch doesn't cover. It balances perfectly! Don't take my word for it however - you always need to do your own experimentation with the balance of your plane. Go fly your plane! I had never flown a wing before this one, and my first flight was nerve wracking.
I'm so glad it turned out well and flies beautifully. Launching and landing can be scary, but Flite Test is here to save the day as usual. Here is their video on that subject:. Thanks so much for checking out my Instructable!
I've put a lot of hours into designing my own wing, and I'm very proud of it. Feel free to ask questions or comment, and I'll certainly read and reply to them. Happy flying! Participated in the Beyond the Comfort Zone Contest.
Excellent build. I built one a few years back. Mine was solid and had a push pull prop configuration. It drained my battery pretty fast but it's job. I'll try this project this weekend. Thanks for the extensive detail as well. Reply 5 years ago.
