Insight RC Remora F3a bipe
 

This is the newest design coming from a combined effort of Chuck Hochhalter (concept) and Mark Hunt (designer/Engineer)

With this design through past experience we had noticed that it was troublesome to sometimes get the CG where we wanted without having the batteries right up to the back of the motor.

In order to correct this, we decided to flip the position of the top wing to a rear Stagger.

We also ran into a few instances where the amount of work to adjust the incidence in the wings was cumbersome and often required a ridiculous amount of work to accomplish.


Chucks experience with bipes comes from owning an OXAi Shark and also building one of the Harmony I prototypes. Chuck has also flown the Sun Ray classic bent wing pattern plane from the 70's and noticed the potential held with in and with Marks the project was born.

Following is a years worth of drawings and design implementation to produce a laser kit which will be arriving any day now.

Hi Chuck,

So it's going to have independent incidence adjustment for each wing panel?

Cheers,
Jason.

Jason,

Yes, there are adjusters on each wing panel and stab.

There are also no wing struts in the design.

For those of you wondering if it is YS compatible.. we tried... but the shoe did not fit... here is what it looked like.

Here is the motor going into Mark Hunts prototype.
Congrats to Mark! Team Dualsky!

LSS is actually 557 grams! lol

RE: Insight RC Remora F3a bipe
 

I may have to research that motor a bit more.

Thanks for the FYI Chuck.:D

Looks like a work of art to me!

RE: Insight RC Remora F3a bipe
 

We have been testing this motor in the Harmony I PROTOTYPE that Chuck built a few year ago.

Plane weighs 4970 grams with ZIPPY COMPACT 5800 packs and using a apc 21/12 w. Noticed the PT model Carbon prop was on in the pic and was a 20X13. hahaha... Prefer the 21x12.

It's an all-wood airplane. Looking forward to seeing how this flies.

Is that a touch of Dihederal in the horizontals or an optical illusion?
