Hi Friends,

I have build my First RC Delta Plane build by Cardboard

Installed electronics and ready to go on Air, also added EPP Foam to protect battery,
totally Inspired by a youtube video Search " Cardboard RC Plane"




Not done fly yet, but soon I am going a place and try to fly it

and will update you...............

Please give me your valuable suggestion......
Thanks

I hope it will FLY........................

nice build ! and all the best for maiden !
make sure prop is in right direction!

Good build! 
I like unconventional stuff. Hope the cardboard doesn't add too much weight.

Maybe I'm wrong, but from the pic, the plane looks a bit un-symmetrical (i.e one half of base longer than the other... base angles look 44^o and 48^o)

Deltas are tricky to fly. Good luck for your maiden! 

Nice build sir..!!!!

Swapnil:- I didn't understand, can you plz copy my any pic and edit and post it back where you have find issue, so may be with you suggestion I will made my madin flight without crash.....
however chances are very bright of crashing

Tushar:- dont call me Sir ......Plzzz

Actually i have some pdf plane building plans i bought from rcpowers.com but never actually used them. Let me know if you are interested   

Hi gbisht

Good Build!

I guess the flat profile will make your plane just too much unstable, don't forget to add some reflex before flying, the tails should help but always better to have some reflex while launching

  Great..GB..please share us flying experience..

O.K, when I first saw the pics, the right side of the delta looked longer than the left. Then I realized (after replying) that the pics were taken at an angle.

But now I used the IrfanView length and angle measurement tools and there does seem to be a problem with symmetry.
But maybe it's just the pics... try doing some measurements on the actual bird. These are small errors but they do matter in delta planforms.   

Swapnil: Thanks for your valuable time....but I am sure and ensure you that both triangle are symetric....actually the are two pcs of cardboard and then I have fixed them together and they both are in same side....attaching another pic

Ah, my bad! It's just the pics then. I forgot that projections on non-parallel surfaces appear unsymmetrical.

Anyways, like I said, deltas are sensitive planforms and when you've crashed a few you don't want others to make even the slightest mistake.

Good luck for your maiden!

sure I have measured each n every part very care fully, I am not professional but I have done my best.....

Thanks

Forget measurements for now - just fly your heart out. All the best!

Yeah, I totally agree VC sir! All the projects I successfully completed were the ones where I concentrated on the 'enjoying' part rather than measurements!

I guess people like me are just afraid of failing and so get lost in measurements... and fail in the end anyways!

"I guess people like me are just afraid of losing and so get lost in measurements and lose in the end anyways!" quote from Swapnil.

That makes two of us. Scared of flying and destroying. No wonder that I have 5 Virgin Models in my hangar that have NEVER been flown ! Why do you think I stick to Boats and Hovercraft - they can't crash !

I am good at advising others ( that's my profession), but I can't convince myself to follow the same course of action.

Thanks VC Sir and
I am not afraid for crash (same like you):-)............even I took it on field at evening..............but 2 bad lucks

1. Wind was like storm
2. I took only 1 battery and that was discharged one, which I have discharged on testing..........lol

in coming day I'll post is maiden flight video......

Nice work there... I would love to see this mean machine flying. BTW where is your field in delhi G.Noida or Gurgaon (Bhondsi) ?
