I'm interesting in doing some slope-soaring however our closest spot, on the Hudson River, has a tree-line that you have to get above before you reach the lift. We usually fly electric Easy-Gliders, stuff like that there, as you need something powered to get into the lift. That's fun-n-all but I wanted something a little more sporty than an Easy-Glider. So I've design this goofy little EDF powered plank to fool around with.
The following will document the build, subscribe if you'd like to follow along.
The design is centered around this little
55mm HobbyKing electric ducted fan...
The EDF will be buried in the rear of the fuselage with large intakes both above & below the wing...
I'm planning to build with wing from the following materials using a symmetric KF stepped airfoil...
I'm going with a four servo wing so I can get crazy mixing some airbrakes & other nuttiness...
Well that's the plan for now. This should be a cool little project, doesn't have to be perfect, fun is the main goal. As with all my builds, I welcome comments & advice...
