 Prototype Profile F-16...its BIG.
Uploaded by Richard Carlton on 12/28/2007 |
 New F-15 Profile Designed by Richard Carlton. Full Stabilators. Rudder is cut and hinged, but not hooked up fro the first test flights. The rudder is definitely need for low speed high alpha conditions. Power is Scorpion 3014-18 with a 8x6 prop and a 4S-2100 pack. Better than a one to one trust to weight ratio, and I can get more out of the motor if necessary. Way more. Total weight is 36 oz without rudder servo. The Stabilators us HS-125s.

 Todd would be one to insist that "less is more". I think I agree.

 Close-coupled and low aspect ratio adds up to sensitive pitch response.

 Here is the auto-gyro in it's completed state.First flight was semi-sucessful. Flew for about 3 minutes, then screwed up and crashed. Orientation is difficult with this thing and in turns it looses altitude in a flash. It is repaired, but cosmetically is damaged....pretty cool while it was flying....over
