Great slow flying Bloody wonder mod

Read below the video on build notes.

 

Soooo Flite Test got me back into RC. More specifically, flight. I've loved the Bloody wonder since day one, and i've always flown it. The bloody wonder is such a versitile plane, it has a great glide slope and its awesome with acrobatics. It can do everything. I wanted to just glide, and to improve on that. With my father pressuring me and saying "aerobatics wont get you anywhere", i started a very short journey.

 

With the original build, flaps are not availible. I built a second wing for my plane that is interchangable with the first wing. The second has flaps, and also, it has a larger wing chord for more lift, also a MUCH larger airfoil. I made some mods to my static bloody wonder (no interchangable electronics), check them out!

So the wing first. I took a flat adams foamboard. No cuts, no nothing. I just made my ailerons 2 inches from the bottom, above that, i went up 17 cm and cut another streak to start the airfoil, and every bend was 1 cm apart from there, with the 5th one being 2 cm, and continuing 1 cm for two more bends.I sliced open holes for the servo arms to get through.


Mixed one servo to the other, and programmed channel 6 (5th is the second servo, you can also move this to 4th but i didnt want to, just in the case in the event that I moved my rudder stick by accident, nothing happened) to move one servo, and the other moved with it. I had to tweak around with end points, but i was very satisfied with the results. I used my knobs for the flaps, and with my FlySky FS-T6 i also had aileron control while the flaps were down.

 

The airfoil is 2-3 times thicker, but it works.

 

Onto the fuselage, i played around with the placement of the two sticks until it satisfied the CG. Enjoy!

Rubber band it together and it is DEAD stable! 

Hope you enjoyed! Leave suggestions and improvement notes below.

Nice job, increased airfoil looks much more stable, less twitchy. I bashed mine because of too many high speed landings otherwise it would stall out and crash.

Thanks. This thing taught me how to catch planes for landings too.
