simple flying wing plans ever (slow mode)

Very nice design ideas! I liked the under-carriage idea, but yah, landing would be difficult with a pusher design. I take it the folding wing tips didn't work on the foam board? It seems you do need larger wing tip plates than what would be provided by folding it. A shame, as I kind of dislike cutting tip plates.

berapa persen control throw nya?

absolutely, and this is probably disturbing but where do you live

you asking control throw in confusing unit (control throw is usually have unit in degree not percentage...)

I am from Indonesia (in Malaysia for a while)

Nice Wing. I an trying to build one and there is some measurements that I can not find. Like the the location of where you glue in the spar. Do you have a real time video of your build? I am slowly learning how to build with foam. I am working my way up to being able to build and hopefully fly FPV craft. I miss flying Lazairs Twin Engine Ultra Light. Had near fatal crash Dr and wife said no more Flying unless I can keep my feet On the ground. Found out about FPV and some day I can go back to what I love Flying like a bird. The FPV videos are just like flying just missing a little bouncing from the wind.

I'm trying to work out some details based on the info you posted here and in the build video:

- how big is the motor that you used? You list 2000-2200KV in your description, but that's just a speed. I have a spare 2830-1000KV (255W) motor sitting around which I'm wondering if it would be an appropriate power output for something this size, but because of the lower KV would need a MUCH bigger prop (something in the 10x5 range), which will probably require modifying the mounting area and maybe the start of the flaperon area but I'm wondering if the total power output might be similar.

- You link to a flying wing CG calculator drawing of the wing showing 1070mm wingspan (about 42") but your plans (hand drawn and linked PDF) show each side of the wing being 24", 48" total, about 1220mm. What width did you actually build it? All 3 show the same root chord, but the CG calculator shows the tip chord being 165mm/about 6.5", but the hand-drawn and PDF plans show the parts being 6" (though this difference could be how you cut the elevons)?

Actually, after looking at the dimensions posted I'm pretty sure the dimensions posted in the hand-drawn plan can't work out (to start with the panel angles are wrong to make them a top and bottom panel, and it adds up to a 39" or 3'3" board width, which I'm pretty sure is wrong, but this actually creates another discrepancy WRT to the dimensions. You still have 42" wingspan in one place and what looks like it will add up to a 48" in the PDF, but now it looks like if you cut the back of the larger panel off straight with the smaller pannel and flip it around to make the flaperon you should end up with a 7" tip width and your CG calculator drawing is still showing roughly a 6.5", and if you assume that's what the blue dotted lines are in the PDF and flip those around and attach them to the narrower pieces, well then the top and bottom won't line up and the flapperon + narrower piece adds up to 8" at the tip.

Can you confirm actual dimensions? Since it seemed to be stable, flyable and fairly slow I'd like to come as close as possible to what you actually built, at least I'd like to know what that was so I know what to work towards.

Is this wing slow/stable enough that a competent beginner would be OK with it or would you recommend getting comfortable with something slower first?

Very nice Wing! How thick was the foamboard you used? And what foil die you use to cover the Wing?
