    MORE A-10 BUILDS!!!!!!!!! Hands down, the most BEAUTIFUL aircraft in the skies. Anyone who disagrees is just an ignorant heathen. My only issue is that it REALLY needs development of an efficient electric ducted fan system. Seeing an A-10 with props out front breaks my heart. The "gun" was spot on though. Even the sound was pretty freaking close to the real thing.

  • @michael1234252
    @michael1234252 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You know the A-10 is also one of my all time fave planes. I remembered this so fondly: about 15 years ago my parents and I was at a "BIG" local art show and I saw within a booth that had a painting/sketch of the plane. at the time I saw it I begged and screamed at my mom to get it for me but my mom kept telling me no. But the Artist who did that painting/sketch actually told me "You know what I'll let you have it for free." since then it as been hanging up on my bedroom wall right next to my bed and I would always wake up to see it. But since I moved to a new house it's been in a box in the garage for the past 3 years. With all my Aviation and the A-10 love stems down to my Step-Grandfather who was an Aviation Mechanic for Lockheed Martin I think. But whenever I was staying at his house for the summer 20 years ago he had a bunch of Airplane models around the house along with a big woodworking room.

      It's a "plank" airframe, see Strix Goblin. Or a wing, rectangular instead of delta, or flying tail. Search for wind-tunnel videos of various airframe designs, some use smoke to demonstrate how the airflow creates lift where it's hard to imagine as compared to a type of airframe we're more familiar with.

  • @aliberkozderya3112
    @aliberkozderya3112 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You probably already know this but the way the elevator is hinged puts the most possible load on the servo. Ideally it should be hinged from the middle so when it is deflected half the elevator area will be under the hinge while the other half is above it so that the forces on the two halves will create torque in opposite directions and counteract each other

    • @joshuamelvin
      @joshuamelvin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You 100% right. Next time for sure.

    • @CallSignVMan
      @CallSignVMan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Or just add a mass balance on a stick toward the front of the elevator, ahead of the hinge line. Also simple.

    Classic theory of aerodynamics - with enough power you can make anything fly!

  • @calummacfarlane8476
    @calummacfarlane8476 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think moving the hinge line of the stabiliser aft into it's structure in order to aerodynamically balance the surface would help with the servo load. It would also reduce flutter once the speed increases.

    What you could do to help with the elevator problem is to have the hinge line farther back in relation to the CG of the elevator so the servo doesn't have to constantly be holding the elevator up.

    0:57 the Gee Bee Model R is actually from the 1930's, not the 1940's They only made two of them, the R1 & the R2, and A flying replica of the R-2 was built by Steve Wolf and Delmar Benjamin: I watched Delmar fly this plane at the Arlington Airshow in Washington State in the 90's and at Oshkosh in 01 the plane was retired in 2004..

  • @PylonFlyer
    @PylonFlyer 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A couple things. A full flying elevator should never be hinged at the leading edge. It needs to be hinged roughly 20-25% MAC just like any jet tail plane. You want the rotating hinge line to be just forward of the center of pressure. This was not a servo failure, the servos never had a chance.

And what you said is exactly the description of my flight. It flys amazing until it didnt. One of the 4 joints between wing and cockpit seems broken in Air and i totaly lost control. The damage is repaired and now i am waiting for new props then i take of for second flight. Thank you and best regards from Stralsund Germany.

  • @2testtest2
    @2testtest2 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome project. Though I was a bit surprised that you put the hinge point for the tail at the leading edge. If you put the hinge point at say 1/4-1/3 chord back, that would have made for much less work for the servos, and possibly prevented the crash.
