@MethaManAircraft i'm surprised that we're allowed to go there too, or well, we're being kind of forced for some reason. It's weird since this is the only workshop of the school that stayed open, every other got closed.
Oh and that sucks
@MethaManAircraft welllll i'm building my prototype in the wood workshop of the boarding school that i'm attending, and because of the current situation with the virus, the time that we are allowed to spend there got drastically shortened so i got about 3-4 hours a week to work on it
@MethaManAircraft i've been barely able to work on the whole thing due to the current situation, what i can say tho is that i meanwhile redesigned it and a second prototype is on its way
@MethaManAircraft the tail will keep its skeleton look at the moment, only the front will be covered, in case i decide to add something through the back
@Chancey21 the bolts are there so i can exchange wings easier
i plan to test different airfoils and wing sizes on this so they gotta be easily exchangeable
Fun fact :
I remember actually implementing yaw via airbrakes on this but i guess it somehow didnt save or something, or maybe i mirrored it wrong...
Whatever, nice
@MethaManAircraft also i have no idea how to calculate lift.
That horten glider style plan sounds nice, i actually thought about constructing a glider flying wing style too, buuut i making a plane with a conventional wing layout might be better for a first
@MethaManAircraft
1. Trial and error.
2. Yes
3. I honestly have no idea what order i will build this in
maybe cockpit, then tail, rudder, wings, about in that order
4. Only copying the cockpit since it seems easy to make
@WarHawk95 as long as it works, the look doesnt really interest me.
I need to make an ugly glider first to grasp the basics of flying, before making a glider that one could call beautiful.
Like the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan...
nice
@DarthAbhinav nope, still alive
+1@50CalChicken i can try and fix that if i knew how to turn images into links
so yeah this got laid on ice
the old gang has to assemble
+1we need to bring the worms back
+1@CodenameMorgan wassup, buddy
@Grob0s0VBRa cool
@metaphysicalgnome nah fam imma stay out of that. Been there enough times
@BuiltBionixInd10 it started like 100 times already via those numerous roleplays lmao
@CoconutCraft hey.
+1@Grob0s0VBRa Hallöchen, pretty okay i suppose. What about you?
@Cabbage17 heeeyyy
@CptJacobson i seem to be late to the party.
+1Will get back to making flying things once life issues are fixed
Just started playing Ace Combat 7
+1Now i can relate even more!

@YIAlY i dunno
they're kind of fun to make, at least for me
welp, ya beat me to it

@Chancey21 forgot to mention but yeah indeed the bolts basically doubled the weight lmao
@MethaManAircraft some light fabric
@SledDriver some scary place known as the real world
im at a loss for words
this is
just wow
@Random40 of the full scale thing?
+1My guess is around 12 meters from wingtip to wingtip
Maybe 10 so i have less trouble of storing it somewhere
@BoganBoganTheMan shhh shhh

Ayyyy nice
@MethaManAircraft this is one of the books that im using
@ACEPILOT109 glider
It'll be a glider
For now...
@MethaManAircraft thanks for the links man
@DuckMint yeaaah i realized that i'll run into a lot of issues, mostly legality ones with this.
That wont prevent me from building it tho.
@MethaManAircraft also i have no idea how to calculate lift.

@ThePilotDude yeeaaah i should do that

Nice job!
Woahwoahwoahwoahwoahwhat
+1Where was this when i needed it?!
I love you for making this
+5no homo tho
Ayyyyy i have the same thing laying around somewhere
Love it!
Ah welp
nice
+1dammit
i'm not sure if the thing that i'm making qualifies anymore...
hint hint
woah nice!
hmmmmaybe i'll make something....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa
y'know what
im giving it a shot
