Very Serious R/C Modelling

That was cool! :thumbsup:

 

[AmigaMan]

those are very cool. Loved the X1 blast off! Reminds me of that video with the R/C B-52 that crashed...unfortunate, but still very cool. Wish I had the money to get into r/c....

that was wicked... though i doubt the b29 was up to scale. No way a scaled wing profile would have any lift when inverted....

i like this one better

 

[tasmanian]

Awsome.

Strap a big enough engine to a brick, you can make it fly.

I never get sick of watching helo stunts

Um... NO wing generates positive when inverted*. Any plane sustaining upside down flight is doing so through a combination of wing-lift generated via a relatively severe angle of attack and thrust. With enough thrust, you could have a completely flat wing capable of flying upright or inverted with no discernible change in the flight envelope.


*Okay, it does generate lift but in a direction which is pushing it and the plane towards the ground.

Well yeah, symmetric airfoils generate lift by tiling upwards (angle of attack increases). What I'm saying, though, is that theres virtually no way an asymetric airfoil scaled from a b29 could sustain itself inverted.

That looks really scary. I know I'd cut someone's head off before that thing even left the ground.

OK then...

Maybe some of you still haven't seen

Pretty much any airfoil could produce enough lift when upside down, even if it's highly cambered... especially on an overpowered and oversized RC plane like that.

That was crazy - hadn't seen it before.

R/C'ing need not be expensive. I got this plane for $64.

HOLY CHIT! @ the rocket motor igniting. I was started to get bored thinking it was just gliding down to a landing and then BAM!

Whoa...why can't full-scale hydroplanes do that?

Wow...those things are expensive here: 120 GBP! (~230 USD)
