Rahul's RC Aircraft and other designs

Pictures and build highlights of a SU 35 The plan printed on a A4 paper. The whole design was based around a 9"  space for prop (mid mounted). With that as the base, the conversion ratio was 1cm on plan was 5.88 cm actual. The total span was 95.1 cm or 37" and the length was 114.6 cm or 45" The above dimensions were drawn on a scrap newspaper and templates cut out or traced directly on 5mm foamboard.  Note the Increased dimensions of the wing and tailplane.  few pictures of the construction The front fuse was made out of 5mm foamboard sides with a eps turtledeck The nose was shaped  out of  eps foam. Below is picture of the elevator mount. The elevator was full moving elevator. It hinges on a 3.5mm CF rotating on a 2.5" al tube. The CF was wrapped around with clear tape to mage a snug fit The wing had a leading edge droop which was reinforced with two chordwise stakes in each wing Note the beveling of th...

This is a forward swept design built in 2015.... l Wanted to explore characteristic of forward swept design for manoeuvrability The design flew marginally. though tip stalls were reduced, it had adverse yaw (probably which could have been due to the increased aileron  width at tips.. a constant cord ailerons might have reduced it). Also there was a lot of drag due to the lower part of the fuse Note the size of the control surfaces I quite liked the paint scheme Flying and being followed by a real Kite

This is profile Mig 15 which I had built quite some time back Wing span 28". It is a tractor and has a profile fuse. The wings are KMF2. The  dimensions were based on the plan, but modified with increase in chord and tailplane area. She flies fast , and is quite responsive to controls. Because of the size orientation is difficult at a distance.
