Looks beautiful. Where do you get the technical design parameters? Like angles, length's etc2.

 

[b2spirit1212]

How?

First i had a 3 side view. Then it was easy to transfer it in a 3d Cad System.to get the outer shape. I took an plastic model with a span of 20" and we did a laser 3 D reverse engeneering to get the 3D Shape.The techn. design is a comon flying wing design from The Horton Brothers from Germany in 1940.Also a lot of pics can be very useful to check the angels.

In spring we flew a prototyp with 120" wingspan as a glider, and it was flying well so we decided to build that in fully molded 172" size and scale powered with two turbines.

Great, you must be 1 heck of a B2 lover. Do us a favour, once you've finished modeling the plane, including the paint jobs etc, pls post pictures of it. All angles and close ups too.

 

[b2spirit1212]

Thanks

thanks for the complete list..

And i will post the pics from the model when it is finished.

Thank you again.

 

[leaky]

what is the wing span of the rc really going to be? looks HUGE for a remote control plane

AV-12 10 89-0127 = Sprirt of Scrap (easiest to model)nfloorl:

 

[b2spirit1212]

Wingspan of model

wingspan is 4,3 m. 170 "

model existes of3 parts

middlepart 114cm 1x

outerpart 158cm 2x

 

[stigmata]

Most impressive.
With some luck, you come from a state not on that list, so you can name it after your state.

 

[b2spirit1212]

step 2

the first prototype out of the mold.

weight only 8 kg...dont know the lbs.

Made of glasfiber/ carbon vakuum baged.

Thank you again.

Looking really forward to that. It must be possible to mount a video camera in such big airframe...adding a radio link to that ..*dreaming*

This is nowadays no problem at all, even for smaller aircraft. The camera shown in the attached picture has a 2.4GHz link, size ~23x23x31mm, mass 20g. Range is about 100m using the receiver and antenna supplied with it.

 

[b2spirit1212]

b2 finished

After a long time we have actually the model finished.On 24th last month there was the maiden flight.It flew very well.
