How to start so ...
In general, hello, my name is Alexander and I am building a plane.
From wood, Lvl Bruus and Polycarbonate.
Although, usually I just do any technique, about which sometimes I am writing handicraft posts.
I am building for the second year. And, there is a good chance that this winter I will experience it.
And yes - I understand that this design of Hells is dangerous and for normal operation is not focusing. But it is not required from it.
Here I am talking about the idea:
But not everyone love to watch, and therefore, I will describe.
IDEA:
In general, it started still university. At first it was just an idea to build cheaply from duralumin pipes and plywood, and then polycarbonate.
Then I studied and planned everything-planned-planned. I read about different designs, I thought how to do it, I understood that I could not.
Well, as a result, it took 10 years, and the plans are all there. And that year I tuck me - you need to start doing at least something.
And I came up with it. It was assumed as the cheapest design, if only at least somehow flew. There is no money. And figs with them, with characteristics.
The goal is stupidly tear away from the ground.
Naturally, I have no pilot experience. BUT. To compensate for this, I have already been engaged in the control of the aircraft in the chamber.
This is when there is a model of the aircraft, on it camera, transmitter, and on Earth the receiver and video.
It turns out a la in real flight, with all corkscrews, dumping, refuses of technology, landing complexities and the struggle with the wind. In general, A la, air simulator.
And with all this, I slowly began to build.
And what would be at least to have chances - used the "methods" on the construction of a lung aircraft with the basic formulas.
Like: spars wings - LVL timber. This is something like plywood, but all the fibers go along ", which in 2 times increases the strength of relatively simple boards.
The rest is just a tree. The best, what happened to find.
Polycarbonate 6mm. Adhesive brackets ...
I have no runway either. In the summer I watched the Forest Road, did not come up. It's too tight.
But there is a river. The river will warm in winter and will become excellent, in fact, not limited to the length of the runway.
Next, I will need a snowmobile for which I will carry 50 meter Fal and ... in theory, at a speed of 70-80km, it should take off.
Of course, it doesn't have no plans to take off above 2-3 meters in the plans. And, of course, before this I will learn to raise and hold the tail, then take birth and only then the gap. The story, as the first pilots taught, I know.
And yes - I understand that the chances of decomposing the device is great. Therefore, the design is as simple as possible and cheap.
... and for starters - without engine =) i.e. It will be just a glider with a cement bag for imitation of a motor weight.
At the moment, I have almost everything is ready. In fact, you just need to assemble the design. And already to do management and "put" centering. But while autumn and rains, and if you do it now, everything will be frowning to winter. So, I will wait for frosts.
But then ... then I have problems.
First, I would take a motorcycle at anyone. Full. It is due to the turtle. This is what would not be killed immediately.
Secondly, snowmobile. Here I want to consult, for what I am writing a post.
So - the design will weigh 400 kg. It will have to pull on the snow. And most likely deep enough. All this will happen in the Leningrad region, in Volkhovsky district. And I have no such snowmobile. And friends do not. And whether there are such snowmobiles? I need a speed of 80-90 kmh in tow. This is real?
And as a chassis. Use wheels seems not the most reasonable. Try to buy 2 board?
In the meantime ... while "blurred" horizontal tail ". I was afraid that either breaks, or there will be a flutter, either grind something. But no - everything is fine.
In general ... I am looking for like-minded people with understanding the theme and snowmobile in Lo =)
And yes - I know that "fall apart immediately", "built from the bricken", "heavy as cast iron, will not take off," "Throw you this thing, drink better beer."
