SU 34 with Canards, Ailerons and Elevons

Image
This is SU 34 built with Canards, Ailerons and Elevons.. and leading edge droop (this was made some time back.. publishing it now) Span is 34".. it is made of depron All the 3 control surfaces .. the Canards, Ailerons and Elevons are controlled by 2 X 9 gms servos The connection of the servos and the control surfaces are  apparent in the photos.. i.e left servo, left horn to left aileron & left elevon.. and left servo right horn to right canard ...... and the opposite for the right side. Note .. the leading edge  has a droop of 25 degrees. This betters high alpha flight and also adds to the rigidity It has a 2826 / 2200 kv motor turning a 6X3.8 prop .. AUW is 465gms flies beautifully... . The canards add sharp responses both in pitch and roll.. it flips within itself, and can do so a couple of times in one go... .. high alpha flight is also very good, though yaw axis control is not there (it does not have moving rudder.. which I plan to add)... ...
