It’s struggled to fly well, but I think it’s because I’m a new pilot and it’s much less floaty compared to the other one I made. I’m hoping to get better before I break the poor thing, we’ll see
I've heard that "push" planes that have a significant amount of the plane in front of the propeller are harder to fly.
I wouldn’t doubt that. I like the propwash going over the tail, makes it easy to recover from a stall since you can force it over. The main reason I chose a pusher design is I still have a tendency to plow the nose into the ground and I want to protect the motor and prop
Yeah, I've broken a couple of props with them. I'm a ~~bad~~ new enough pilot that I'd rather deal with broken props than a difficult airframe.
Whoa, plane looks to be pretty big going off the scissors/marker in the background. Looks like a fun project!
It’s sizeable! 40” wingspan! It did multiple cartwheels in the snow and survived without any damage so I’m happy about that
Building, flying, and the inevitable repairing of powered and unpowered winged RC airplanes.
