Honestly i think you should do some glide testing before flight attempts to reduce the amount of crashing/repairs.. i see flite test do this all the time with new designs.. they'll throw it back and forth to get the CG right.

he is doing it and throwing it the wrong way. A propeller pulls air from behind and a plane flies by moving forward. because he is doing it backwards and inverting the plane position, it won't fly, since the direction of flight is opposite of where it should it be (forward).

Maybe you know, but forward swept wings will deflect in an unstable way. Thia means increased angle of attack will structurally twist the wing to make more angle of attack making it diverge from level flight more. As the flights went on you had a more floppy wing and maybe more divergent characteristics.

Your biggest problem is the size of your control surfaces: they are far too small and must extend over at least 2/3 of the length of the trailing edge of your wings. In addition, your canard carrier plane must have an angle of +2/3° relative to the horizontal plane of the plane. more over if I were you I would increase the chord of your root by a few centimeters to increase the allar surface. We must not forget that wings with an inverted arrow present increased torsions, so they must be reinforced in torsion so that they maintain a stable profile. Your radio must be set to a mix of type: elevon and you should reduce the sensitivity. Here's just some advice from an "old flying enthusiast"

@@_BL4CKB1RD_ but you're welcome, it's so encouraging to see young people coming into the hobby. What's funny is that the design proposed by the AI is from a strictly theoretical point of view the best but it is also from a practical point of view the most difficult to implement. This is the reason why no aircraft manufacturer offers this type of design. To give you an idea take a look at an aircraft called the Grumman X-29.or at the Soukhoï Su-47 Berkout its Russian equivalent It took three computers to make it fly because it was so unstable!!!! But on the other hand it had incredible flight characteristics, particularly at large angles of attack if you are interested FLYTEST has made a DIY version which flies very well and whose plans are free (which has become very rare for them) look in their playlist.

1739 an aircraft (any object) has a Center of Mass (c-m). like cg is, location of c-m is a result of the distribution of mass (dom). the correct location of c-m requires compliance with two statements. 1) c-m should be located On the thrust line at a point that vertically aligns with twenty-five percent of chord/mac. 2)) and, the thrust line should intersect the c-m. it appears that little/no down-thrust should have been added at the motor mount. you may realize that there is an 'issue' with the use of a fixed canard. it is this: any time the nose is elevated, the canard makes More unscheduled nose-up moment.!

@@ljubomirculibrk4097 That's a good point, too, but I think a slightly different problem. The angle of the vertical stabs is an issue no matter where they are. Go back to the thought experiment in the video and imagine the stabs angled the other way. I think you'll see what I mean. (This is all predicated on my impression that the leading edge of the stabilizer was outboard of the trailing edge. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.)

Joking aside the vertical surfaces are in front of th CG which is why you have no yaw stability. You can only have the vertical surfaces on the wingtips with rear swept Wings. Like A Long easy.

@_BL4CKB1RD_20 күн бұрын
@@skyslycer Here’s a lil secret: It’s not actually backwards. 😏 Most airplanes ya know have the propeller at the front right? That’s what’s called a “tractor” configuration, where it “pulls” air in front of it. Very few airplanes, like the J7W Shinden or Piaggio P.180 Avanti, have a “pusher” configuration, where they “push” air behind it. They are known for having the propeller at the back. So let’s talk about these funky ahh wings. This plane has “forward-swept” wings, a configuration that has the wings angled forwards. This is opposite from regular swept wings found on like the F86 Sabre or P6M Seamaster. In reality, they only offer advantages at very high airspeeds (favorable stall characteristics) and notable examples of planes that use it are the Grumman X29 and the Sukhoi Su-47. TLDR: There’s no single way to design an airplane.

This sort of configuration may appear to be flying backwards, but that’s just how it rolls. Most planes you see everywhere have what’s called a “tractor” configuration where the propeller is in the front, as if the prop pulls the plane forwards. Some more unique planes (like the one you mention) have a “pusher” configuration, where the propeller is at the back. The wings are like the opposite of many jet fighters you see. Instead of being angled or “swept” backwards towards the rear, they are “forward-swept”. A highly unconventional design, yet it has been experimented on pretty scarcely. An example being NASA’s X-29 plane. tldr: there’s a lot of ways to design a plane.
