Transmitter Tray design

-

 Here is a design and drawing of a transmitter tray.. It is designed for Radiomaster TX16S, but could also accommodate other transmitters.

I made mine out of 5mm acrylic sheet with 3x10mm brass standoff, and 8mm steel threaded rod... other materials can also be used

DESIGN This design explores the region between a plank and a swept wing flying wing, and to try and get the best of both worlds to whatever extent possible.... The major balancing acts were being efficient across a large speed range, good C l /C d , less twist, and maintaining good flight characteristics. PLAN & DIMENSIONS A span of 1200mm was chosen to keep it a one-piece plane.  - Sweep is a very moderate 13 degrees measured at LE, and even lesser when measured at 1/4 AC line. - - Aspect ratio =- 6.3... (adequate wing loading with the set span of 1200mm span) - Taper ratio= 0.65 and Twist - (-)1 degree..... (close to elliptical lift distribution, less induced drag, while maintaining decent Re and flow characteristics at the tips, good stall characteristics) - Airfoil is PW51.. (good cl/cd, adequate +ve cm, and minimum trim losses).  - A central tailfin is chosen over wing tip fins.... (due the the less moment arm and the issues arising out of a badly designed wing tip ta...

 A slightly different 3D plane designed and made by me. Span is 900mm The wings are low AR and highly tapered. It has a deep fuselage, akin to a pattern flyer. The LE of the ailerons are also tapered. Additional vertical side was added via wingtip plates and a dorsal fin. This gives the ac fantastic tracking an handling. All surfaces are made out of 9mm epp sheets, which were hotwired out of a EPP block.  It has a few CF 3x1 mm strips embedded for strength and stiffness. Additional stiffness is comes from fishing line rigging across the fuselage, wings and tail surfaces. This gives the aircraft very good stiffness without adding weight and is very strong (the fishing line is kevlar).  Electronics : 2212 1400kv motor, 9x5 prop, 30A esc, 4 x 9gm servos. Flies witha 1300/1000mah bty.. AUW 500gms.   A beautiful looking aircraft, which also flies amazingly. Even other flyers vouch that it flies better than many brought out 3D kits. Here is the plan

Angor-Rot & Hot-Rod hotliner RC plane

 Fast, hotliner design These two are built for speed, and unlike a 3 surface (wing , tailplane and rudder) design, they are wings (delta). The thought was having the max wing area for a given wt and strength and with the least friction/profile drag, and of course ease of construction. (ignoring  difference in Induced drag). Construction is composite, foam, glass fibre, carbon fibre and vacuum bagged,  resulting  in a very strong lightweight structure for its wt. Airfoil is PW 51, with a 1.5 degree washout at the tips. Small wing tips are added to draw out the tip vortex. The LE is reinforced with CF. The wings tips and the centre section of the underbelly has some CF  reinforcements built in. It has 2 layers CF tow of different lengths acting as spar. The paint pattern has been painted directly onto the skin and then vacuum bagged. The control surface hinges are live hinges built into the glass fibre skin. The servos and push-rods are embedded with the wing. All...
