Forward Swept Mini Wing
This design is a forward swept mini wing that I made years ago. Many folks have expressed interest, and if you'd like you can pick up the project and run with it.
I was working with foamboard, hot glue and craft sticks (popsicle sticks).
The plane flew fine, but it needed a battery (I believe it was a 850mah 3S) deep in the nose to get the CG right. It was very light - and the CG is very critical to be close to that wing root leading edge.
It was very light - but sub 250g was not the goal at first - this was just a line of sight park flyer. While I did make a sub 250g version - honestly there needs to be more work, as it omitted the spars - and that made it really fragile. Later versions had a single craft stick under the wing, and that helped - but you're constantly watching the weight. Ultra light planes just weren't my thing.
The motor was a 1407-3500kv, and it was built with a BetaFPV ELRS PWM receiver. 9 gram servos.
Motor Mount, control horns, and some latches for the hatch are included as STL files.
Included are over 40 files made with CorelDraw v24, DXF files, and STL's.
There is no support for these depreciated designs. Take them, learn from them, make them if you like - but I will not provide support and try and reengineer these old designs, or try provide technical support getting them to run on your computer / laser / CNC or whatever. I've run my course with them - any my interests have moved in different directions. Many of these files I have not touched in years.
That said - at one point I poured my heart and soul into these planes - and now they hang on the wall in my office. If nothing else - they're good art.
I hope you enjoy.
Depreciated Files
This is a depreciated project.
That means I ran my course with it - and I'm no longer working on this file.
There is no support, and unless I'm being paid to do so - I won't modify or work with them in any way. I'm simply letting you have a look at the files I used to make these things.
There is no warrant of suitability or fitness for any purpose. Without being in my head - many of the files may not make sense. There is most likely no notes or documentation. You may not be able to open any / all of the files - software compatibility is not my issue. I use many commercial applications to produce my work, and individual files may require you to purchase that software.
Please do not distribute, post or otherwise share my work. I've put countless hours into working on these planes, and unauthorized sharing of them discourages creators from wanting to share their work further.
Sales of depreciated files are final. No refunds.
Thank you for your understanding.
