Split Elevons!(DUCKERONS!) Quak!

[ScottLott]

Hey guys, so most of you saw the blended wing body design I came up with a while back. Well, I modded my design by adding 2 more elevons to the plane, stacked ontop of the already existing elevons. After that, I spent an hour or so doing the mixing to get the elevons to act together for elevator/aileron control then SPLIT for yaw control! I can also split both at the same time for airbrakes. Man, this works PERFECT, tell me what you guys think.

Man Scott why didn't I think of that(THERE REALLY COOL) Quak!

great job scott! i have been working on the same thing with my b-2 project, how the heck did you solve the stability problems? mine wanted to go every where(like a triplane).decelerons are espically handy for when you need to turn very tight(like a baseball field). and from what i learned from my project scott, is that without a 3 gyros minimum, you should NOT fly in the whind, unless
you wand to turn months, even years of work into white sawdust.

ps, could you give more in depth info, preferably a schematic of your mixing plan? thanx

Man, it's the master at work again! Pure wizardry!

Delta wing/flying wing kind of setups are normally very stable from the wing slant. If your B-2 is having stability problems, I would blame your airfoil more than anything, I found the airfoil can make or break the flying wing.

Here is a wiring diagram for the plane, I used my rudder channel for the nose gear. You CAN NOT use the rudder channel for one of the duckeron mixes, it won't work.


Regarding your wind comment, my plane handles the wind perfectly, much better than many of my other parkjets. I think it has alot to do with the weight, airfoil, and size. As you can see, it sports a 4 foot wingspan! But what I didn't mention, is the AUW of 22 oz! The wind like gestures the plane around. Gusts make landing difficult, but the plane otherwise handles the wind VERY nicely. I couldn't be happier with this design, it has out performed my expectations in every way.

P.S. I didn't have ANY gyros plugged into that plane, it is THAT stable by itself!

Is this going to be the platform you try to VTOL?

[ScottLott]

No, thats reserved for the F-35

Hey Scott, never responded to you in a long time how are things going!!??

And is that wing project going well with the modifications you mentioned a long time ago?, how about that f-35?any new modifications or ideas for that project?

hey Scott were would the center of gravity be on this plane?
