I think the circling property is due to the propeller twisting the centerline so the stick is wanting to be on one side, then the weight of the stick pulling back down, so it has a natural curve to it’s flight.

Awesome, I love your passion for this great sport. My father had an actual glider (Schweizer 1-26) in the 60's in the Dallas area and as a kid, I built my own sailplanes out of balsa and basic kitchen cellophane wrap, long before RC radios. I set the rudder to a slight turn and enough elevator to keep it from stalling. When conditions were right (calm and hot) some would soar right up to the cloud base. But that was my goal, a flight out of sight, ha. I eventually bought my own 1-26 and then a beautiful Std. Libelle 201b and flew for many years. And now as I age, I have returned to my roots, RC sailplanes and I am still like a kid when it finds a thermal.

How can I find it?
@jimgilbert9984
@jimgilbert9984 Місяць тому
@@synupps877 I found the design by accident online. You could try a search. I'll try to explain... Take one corner of a regular piece of paper and fold it to its opposite corner. Do not have the corners touch each other. You want them to look like when kids draw mountains - two peaks near each other. The whole thing should be roughly triangular. At the fold along the "bottom" of the nearly triangle you made, fold up the bottom about an inch to an inch and a half. Repeat this two more times. You should now have a strip sticking out on both sides of the bottom of the triangle. Holding those strips (which are actually flattened tubes), roll up the folded strip so that the ends touch, making a circle. Fit the end of one strip inside the other end. To make sure they stay attached, you can staple them. You then play with it so that the whole thing is in as close to a circle as you can get it. If you set it down on a table with the folded strip on the bottom, it might appear to be a crown, with two points up. To make it fly, you slide the space between the two points (the mountain peaks) into the area between your thumb and the rest of your hand, with your thumb inside the plane, with your fingers curled under the main body of the plane and the multi-folded strip pointed away from you. Now here's the tricky bit. You don't want to throw it hard, like you normally do with the triangular planes. You give it a kind of gentle throw-and-push. If you do it right, it doesn't really so much fly as it floats through the air. The first time I did it, it went all the way across my classroom, from my desk in the corner to the door at the other side. It's pretty cool. Even though I described it as best I can here, it's better if you find the directions with illustrations to show you how to do it properly. Do a search online. I hope this helped.

Back about 30 years ago I went to Oshkosh. There was a ‘full size’ (single pilot) experimental aircraft there with a swept back circular single wing, it had flown in, but I did not see it fly, it was called the ‘cookie cutter’

Congratulations on the project! I had never seen a project that went from conventional wings to two wings in circles proving a new theory of aerodynamics.

Just amazing, I thought it would fly forever. Can’t understand why the camera man did not help Fred when he was struggling to attach the wire. A great video thank you

I figured it was better to let him struggle than try helping and potentially break a wire. Everything on that plane is small and fragile. I knew he'd get it eventually as he's a very skilled flier, and I wanted to get all the commentary he was providing too.

I think what's nice about this is that however well you can see it, the planform remains a bit mysterious looking. The upward tendency really comes into its own at the (apparently) higher charge time. Really good fun, this! 🌟🌟🌟👍

Newby Question: What makes these planes circle around the building without running into the walls? These planes have not internal control yet they never seem to crash into the walls.
@joshuawfinn
@joshuawfinn 11 місяців тому
Well, they do hit the walls sometimes, but we spend a lot of time trying to keep them away. Using a combination of wing warps, thrustline offsets, and rudder adjustments, the planes are all set up to make nice happy circles.

I used to make a paper airplane like that - it was my 2nd favorite model. I would not have imagined you could power one, though. Nice build.
