    If you make windscreen into a triangle, it will save you a ton of drag. (or just get rid of it.)
    The twin configuration is serving you well, in that NO PROP STRIKE.
    too much deflection in landing gear can aggravate a ground loop. It's called the Wilga Wobble. Travel is ok, but that's why struts are used, so you can get the travel without deflection. (think solid axle VW, or the corvair debocle.)
    You are likely having issues with ripple current for the ESC's. you can solve it two ways:
    1 locate batteries right next to ESC's, So create battery nacelles directly behind motors. (not a bad idea anyway)
    2 use lots of LOW ESR capacitors(banks of them) on the inlet wire to the ESC's , located as close to the ESC's as possible on wires + and - coming from the battery. not on the motor side...
    Would not hurt to increase rudder size, but maybe wait, as moving the CG further forward will help directional stability too.
    If you need to get the plane to balance, conducer moving the motors forward on their mounts.
    still think you should have gone with a higher aspect ratio wing, as it's obvious the drag is extremely high.
    Get rid of the multi rotor props, and find some props with more pitch. They are causing drag at high airspeed, and losing thrust.
    other than that, looks pretty good!

    • @BrilliantDesignOnline
      @BrilliantDesignOnline 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Excellent comments. Again, on the larger rudder, just add a foam/glass dorsal fin 42-48" x 10-12" that way just keep the rudder no mods.

      Also agree on vert and horiz stabilizer surface area - not only more authority but just think on what the name implies for a minute. Of course you're always going to be subject to the crosswind effect on any tail-dragger. (em caps are not cheap!)

    • @FPVREVIEWS
      @FPVREVIEWS 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Idontneednostinkingchannel Love your channel name by the way.. The large chord of this low aspect ratio wing will generate a lot of reflex based moment. A fancy way to say that the wing curves down, and it has a big lever. So an oversized horizontal stab will be necessary. Ironically, a low aspect ratio wing and a high aspect ratio wing do not (necessarily) require a different size vertical stab. That is dependent on several other factors (or a combination of them, and their interactions). He has probably already figured it out, or will soon. just will require a lot of stick work, or stick pressure to keep it flying. He has already mentioned the CG issue, and will probably be confused when a change in CG does not fix everything with the flight dynamics. Unless he reads the comment section... anyway, yes, you are right.

  • @bondvagabond42
    @bondvagabond42 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Shipwright here, but on my 3rd experimental aircraft build, one tip that might help: the number one error for fiberglassing is a dry layup. You can't tell just from the glass getting clear, you can still have too little resin between the fibers, and the foam core material, the most important part, from a bonding standpoint. You can avoid by wetting out the core material with resin before you lay the glass down. Another really good technique, that can be done cheaply, is vacuum bagging. It will help make sure just right amount of resin is used, and evenly distributed. I always use for projects where weight is important, like planing sail powered dinghies, and composite airplane parts. Keep up the good work.

    • @johnpossum556
      @johnpossum556 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. I think those cables on the LG are unrealistic. They'd be more helpful to the forces at play if they were connected more forward of their current location. Like bisect a line between their current connection point and the tip of the aircraft & connect them there. This way when the landing stresses push back they have some movement fore and aft.

    • @bumpty9830
      @bumpty9830 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      John Possum The problem here was that the cable was *pushed* instead of being *pulled*. As my theory of elasticity professor liked to say, "don't push on a rope."
      It was suggested elsewhere in the comments that similarly sprung cables running *up* from the wheels could have prevented this failure, and that may be true.
      I think no matter what he does with the gear, a ground loop is likely to break shit.

    • @AlexJoneses
      @AlexJoneses 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Matthew Grimshaw yah that’s what i was thing too, too much pressure on one side will easily bend the aluminum. If they had gas pistons and a cross member then it could work, and still retain suspension

  • @BrilliantDesignOnline
    @BrilliantDesignOnline 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Did I mention, "terrible landing gear?" I think bonding some foam (airfoil shape w/ recess) to both sides of the aluminum, and glassing it would toughen it up enough to get the aluminum so it does not yield. Really excellent back of the napkin engineering-the details from the montage are SO cool! Add a long triangular dorsal fin-doesn't have to be real large but will help directional stability with little weight cost and will improve lateral twitchyness a lot. Landing gear: cut off legs leaving the horizontal stubs. Bolt on a 6-8" 4130 1" x 0.058" longitudinally with two 5/16" bolts to horz alum on bottom of fuselage= gear mount pivot. Then 0.875" x 0.065 x 1.25" stubs (fit inside longitudinal tube above) welded to two 0.875" x 0.065 x ~24" to form a 'ladder' with cross members for torsional rigidity with a plate welded at the base for the axle stub (with triangular reinforcements). Use existing spring/cable setup. contact me and I will send you a Fusion360 drawing.

      Why not simply use tubes with hinges instead of the thin sheets he’s using now? With a parallelogram arrangement he could even ensure that the wheels are always vertical. Another option would be using two mountain bike front suspension forks and mount small bicycle wheels to them. They are built to take heavy beatings and a fork only weighs ~1500g.

Usually undercarriage legs protrude below the fuselage not only to clear the body of the aeroplane but also for prop clearance with the aircraft a level attitude. However because your prop clearance is no issue here, why make the undercarriage legs protrude so far? I mean if you shortened them and had a more protruding tail skid to clear the lower fuselage, many of your issues would be resolved. With the aeroplane in a more level attitude to start with, it'd be far easier to rase the tail...

      Well ultralight land in other areas the an airfield. For example farms, dirt roads, and even short clear area landings. If it's to short the aircraft would dig in on those landing. That is why he went with that height. Like a Bush plane to avoid crash on landing do to to short of a landing gear

    I'm camped in the eaa campground at Oshkosh. Plenty of great landing gear designs will be displayed all week once the show starts! No reason to reinvent the wheel when it's faster just to adapt a proven design. If your feeling lazy you can buy brand new gear leafs for ultralights right at the show! There's usually a used gear leaf for sale in either the fly mart or at the red barn down by the ultralights. It's a big show so chances of stumbling by you are thin but you never know. Ignore 99 percent of the comments; even if they mean well, most of them sound like they don't have a clue to make anything on their own. About 1 percent had some valid information worth reading.

    • @bumpty9830
      @bumpty9830 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It wasn't a landing gear issue, it was an equipment-failure-induced lack of rudder authority resulting in a ground loop, which should be expected to cause damage. The gear may not have survived a good landing, either, but that's not what happened here.

    • @AlexJoneses
      @AlexJoneses 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matthew Grimshaw yah he really took into the tail-dragger idea here, but a cross member (maybe with gas pistons) could helped it not bend inwards (I’m just looking at the mechanical failures here, like my life)

    • @bumpty9830
      @bumpty9830 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, to be sure, the landing gear needs some work. I think his general approach is good, though, starting simple and adding complexity when necessary.

    Nice work on the takeoff run =) One thing I had problems with early on in my training is remembering that on the landing roll, the slower you're going the more crosswind input you need to stay straight. Your rudder work is better than most PPL I've seen =) Don't stop flying it till you're stopped!

    • @C2H5OHist
      @C2H5OHist 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He didn't account for the unexpected forces (moment twisting the gear, inward force generated by the twisted gear). In a perfect, frictionless world the gear would be just fine.

    • @poptart1471
      @poptart1471 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The gear is to flimsy

    • @bumpty9830
      @bumpty9830 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The flat stock has bending compliance which allows it to act as a spring, dramatically reducing the complexity (and weight) of the gear system. Obviously it didn't do everything it needed to do, but it wasn't a crazy design.
      Sometimes great ideas are as surprising as bad ones. Try understanding how transistors work some time, and don't be too surprised if that boggles your mind, too. I wouldn't be so quick to assume everything surprising is stupid.
