MAGIC STICK

Image
This is a 1200mm plane built with a stick fuselage  The plan pic is below The wing has a Jedelsky airfoil, with the leading 30% cord made of 5mm balsa and the rest 70% cord made of 5mm depron. These two are spliced together and further stiffened with ribs. The ribs are also designed to induce a washout from root to tip.The planform design, specially near the tips also helps in reducing the camber near the tips.... All this is done to reduce tip stalling. It also has ailerons. There is a CF spar glued to the balsa. The Root rib is much thicker and reinforced. The dihedral is achieved but gluing together the root ribs .. they have quite some area in contact with the wing and between themselves.  Here is a pic of the same ..  The tailplane planform is also designed to handle high AoA without stalling. The tailplane is made of 10 x 5mm balsa frame and 5mm depron. This method adds a lot of stiffness without wt or requiring CF.  It has tape hinges.  The tail arm is lo...

Mini-Stick - miniature version of Slow Stick

 A miniature version of Slow stick - 800mm span  It has an under-cambered airfoil (like the Slowstick) made out of 4mm depron.  3 Channel, controls are Rudder, Elevator and Throttle ... 2s 1000mah bty Flies great, I have flown it in windy conditions and it nearly hovers and lands with zero speed.
