Crazy Wild Ellipse Wing (experimental)

thingiverse

This plane was supposed to soar at Inter-Ex 2016 in Versoix/Geneva. http://jivaro-models.org/interex_2016/index.html The event is a thrilling showcase where objects appear to defy gravity, seeming almost impossible to fly. This model is designed more for entertainment than precision aerodynamics. Riders must possess extensive experience to navigate this unpredictable aircraft safely. We experimented with various CG settings and trim adjustments for the elevons before achieving flight. Unfortunately, our success was short-lived due to an unforeseen incident that led to a crash. Fortunately, there was a lush rapeseed field nearby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9iDHNIykRQ The plane's rear section remained unscathed despite the collision. Next, I plan to test a new shape for the elevons and adjust their position further back. Then we'll give it another try with renewed hope.
