today i made the 1:2 scale model out of foam, i eventually realized the actual model would be better made with 3d printing, so tomorrow i will work on my cad skills. i will need to make 2 parts, one for the frame which will be copied, and 1 for the two flaps. so 1 flap which i can then also copy.
the model was rather easy to make because i had made a 1:10 and 1:5 scale drawing of the aircraft.
today i also ordered the final component:
a 2s lipo 2200mah battery which will be enough.
last logging i forgot to make a devlog so here it is what i did:
i weighed out all the components, which turned out to be 251g with the battery included. assembled the motor which can provide around 700-800g of thrust so the aircraft will have an insane t/w ratio
recap:
-made the foam airframe 1:2 scale model
-refined production plan for the actual RC plane
-ordered the final component
-weighed out all the components
-calculated thrust to weight ratio
