this thing glided way better than I thought. Gotta love those xplanes :-) 50mm version coming soon

very impressive you made it glide since these modern planes are unstable as hell without the fly by wire system correcting

I love how you involve your son. I recently started watching your videos and I love your refreshing, traditional KZhead, format and content. Gives me nostalgia for when KZhead was about just showing people something. You’ve also inspired me to try making full airframes.

@@hotlapkyle I think this may be a really good contender for a VERY HIGH SPEED PLANE. the lack of vertical stabs should make this very low drag and slippery. might just set a new record! im also curious how she will handle going 150 MPH.

Most definitely. The real thing had a 2D thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle and split ailerons as well as reconfigurable control laws... but considering your model is so well-behaved in terms of static longitudinal stability provided you get the right CG position, I'm kinda hopeful and no matter what happens it'll be a huge learning experience!

I would love to see your son being integrated far more into the hobby, especcially when you think there is somehow a need to have him around when "you" are playing with "your" plane. Currently the optics don't look that well, as how things are right now. Either integrate or hide him, having both is not possible as nobody really gains anything from this. He was stealing your sunlight, just because you did not tell him what you are doing or what his role in all of this would be. Don't just integrate him as some weired kind of a feature in your videos, but make him an essential part of your hobby. The hobby, both of you are enjoying to the same degree! I would ❤ that !

He likes being involved and he understands as much as a child his age can. You may think I’m not involving him because I’m trying to get 20 minutes of testing into a 10 min video so I don’t have time to sit and explain aerodynamics to a 7yr old in front of all the people that came to watch my videos for the designs. Do you have children? Life is busy and this is how some of my videos will be going forward. Work/life/balance is hard when you have children. People that have children will relate. You can involve your children in things and also make the video for the viewers also. Everything is a balance

Great project! 👍 I remember back in the late 2000 years (about 15 years ago) Dave Powers aka rcsuperpowers set up a depron version successfully. Back then he used some split flaps bound to a gyro. Looked promising with the downside of having a constantly breaking control system. So I look forward to see your upcoming approach! Thumbs up (subscribed a couple weeks ago already!) cheers from Germany!

It's really impressive that something 3D printed from plastic can glide that well. The CG seems to be pretty sensitive. I think a lot of the initial troubles may have been due to the lack of any kind of vertical stabilizer in back combined with the air intakes acting as air brakes at the front.
