RE: Candy drop: will this work?
Here is another configuration I have been pondering. It uses two boxes mounted on each side of the fuse under the wing. This should keep the weight at or near the CG. Wooden arms (red) stretch through slots in the fuse sides to each box. Two servos, one for each box, actuate the doors which fall as shown (blue). I am only using a 4 channel radio on this plane so I have an idea for releasing the doors which will remain open through landing. Both doors will attach via rods to the rudder. Full deflection of the rudder in either direction releases the door on that side. A quick left/right throw of the rudder stick and both doors open in near succession. Or I could make two passes since the Telemaster would most likely fly easily with an offest in lateral balance so close to the fuse. Another advantage is to have two different payloads. Perhaps one of candy, and one of small toy parachutes.
