New FMS Model - Airship Solutions Airship E13
Hello RC Simmers!
I have just completed a model of the
[link=http://gunnerson.homestead.com/files/airship13.zip]Airship Solutions Airship E13 for the FMS simulator[/link].
The [link=http://airship.com.au/products/small_airships.html]Airship Solutions Airship E13[/link] is the smallest
airship of the Air Solutions fleet. The
actual airship is used for advertising and aerial photos.
It can be a little daunting to fly an airship as at zero thrust
it is usually neutrally bouant and when thrust is applied the
airfoil shape of the gas envelope provides lift like a
symmetrical airfoil. This one is a blast to fly in a gym or
in the world.scn file.
This FMS RC Model is half size of the actual.
Span: .839 m
Weight: .454 kg, helium envelope reduces flying weight
Motors: 2 x Speed 350
Prop: 9x7
Batts: 4S1P LiPoly 3700mAh
The rudder on the aileron channel is a personal preference for
all my 3 channel models.
The .par file has several compromises in it due to the FMS flight
engine getting very confused when an airplane is at zero speed with
a nose high angle-of-attack. This FMS model will always move forward
at a very leisurely pace to keep tail slides to a minimum. That means
it will never exactly float, but it will slow down a lot with zero
throttle and nose held high with the elevator.
If you tail slide this model, you will usually have to restart it
with the "I" or "R" keys.
[link=http://airship.com.au/products/small_airships.html]Airship Solutions[/link] offers several different airship platforms for
indoor and outdoor photography and advertising.
Any comments welcome. Thanks for flying!
