300x3D Pics and Info
Prototype1 and 2 flew extremely well, Flat spin fun is all i can say. At 4.1# with the 72 it was awesome. Irvine 53 was just as awesome.
Hover was as you would expect of a lightweight constant chord wing design. The huge side area helped equally as much in my opinion. We built two, and the other didnt have as much side area. It was a little lacking in the Knife as well. We fixed this on #2. The new side area and the 300 style canopy solved the knife problem. Slow high angle of attack knife is now the play of the day.
High speed was flutter free. With the huge surfaces this was a total suprise. i expected flutter in high speed level flight.
All 3d was better than any profile i have flown. It does it all with ease compared to the other profiles i have had over the past 4 years. Why? I dont know. It just all worked out i guess. Im as TLAR builder (that looks about right). Glad you all liked it, i plan on doing a little refining on the CG this weekend. Maybe get someone to get a good hover pic in action with the digital camera.
Miss anything?
Thanks for the encouraging thoughts that was emailed me, and i will try to get some pics on a webpage soon.
