Rc plane - Final design!!!!

Woah that took a while lol.

You can scroll through the images to see it in progress and then the finished model.

I have finished itteration 1 of the final design for the Rc plane!

The only things i expect to change now to this model is maybe a couple of diameters but apart from that i think all of the major work for the design is done.

These are the things i ‘researched’ and conssidered during the design proccess

1
The wing type
For a rc plane lift is important aswell as simplicity when making this it is hard to make wing designs that fold and bend this is why i have chossen the ’Clark Y aerofoil design. This design is used on GA (general aviation - small planes like cessna e.c.t) and is also extremely common in other RC planes.

2
I have also considered the DIMMENSIONS for this aircraft

The wing is 50cm long and 10cm wide and in person it will be 1.2 cm thick (at the thickest point)

The horizontal stabilizer (the mini wing at the back)
Is 7.5 cm on each side so 15cm in total

The cabin/fuselage is 37.5 cm 75% of the wingspan

And out all important target weight is under 250g

WING DESIGN

It is a high wing design for stability in the air and is normally considered the easiest design to fly.

It is 12% of chord which is 1.2cm max thickness at the biggest point

The Peak of the thickness will be 3cm behind the leading edge (front of the wing)

4
THE CABIN

The cabin is designed to be 4cm along and 5cm height to allow for LiPo batteries recivers and ESC (Speed controller - flight computer)

5
LANDING GEAR

The landing gear is in a traditional tail dragger design with a rear wheel

The stance of the gear will be at a forward and downward anfle so the wheels sit slightly ahead of the wings leading edge to prevent flipping over also to absorb max impact without breaking

As well as the gear i am going to test belly landings (landings with no gear) they have to be preformed on something soft grass for example. But because the plane is so light belly landings should not be an issue.
