I think you got the order of events of the crash wrong. The edf's and ESCs would have pulled too many amps through the wires connected to the battery. The wires wouldn't have been thick enough and so got hot enough to melt the insulation, shorting the battery. That would have caused the battery to explode and the esc to shut down. This would then have shut down the receiver, making you lose signal. Up until then, it looked like it was flying great and the plane looked pretty awesome. moral of the story: use thick wire that's rated for the current (2x 80A) and make sure your battery can have a high enough C rating to power it

I learned by pylon racing. A plane that was modified to be slick as hell and over 200mph. Is going to land at 100mph at idle. So you get her up into the patern and kill the engine. Learn the glide slope and stall tendencies. Gets you really good at dead sticks

Great job on the design and build. There's a lot to learn from this crash. The fuselage is clearly a lot stronger than it looks in the build. Just beef up your wiring, add a separate receiver battery, provide some cooling for your ESCs and batteries, replace the plastic wheels and gear with something that can absorb the shock of take offs and landings, and version 2.0 will be much better!

Its AWESOME right up to the point of impact.... or until you leave it in your car on a hot day.... OR hang it from the ceiling in your garage... I just lost my entire 3d printed fleet of 7 very large airplanes. Last Monday, Salem Oregon was THE HOTTEST place in the country..... I didn't even stop to think about planes in the garage until Wednesday night. 3:00ish AM I say straight up in bed from a dead sleep and thought, OH NOOOOO..... Went downstairs, opened the door and got hit in the face with a blast of hot air. At first glance everything looked ok. Upon closer inspection, the rubber padding over the string I use to hang the models had pushed ever so slightly into the plastic. I thought, ok I can deal with this. That's when I looked at the Corsair. I saw it straight on and I could tell the wings were not right. From the side, all the models were drooping just a tiny bit behind or in front of the motor(s). Every plane with motors drooped a little between the motors and the center of gravity. Gliders long wings drooped the most. They almost look ok, but there is no way they will fly. Not even close. As display models they are ok. I figure it will take me 1800 hours to reprint them. Double that to paint and finish. Two hadn't been flown yet.... I figure the garage must have reached 130ish? Salem got to 117 officially. My house was 119. The garage has a black roof and was in direct sunlight from 5am to 9pm....

Wow you really stepped it up for this project. Amazed how well your design worked - really didn’t think a single walled EDF airliner could work anything like this well. Shame you had the problem with the current draw but a second one (or this one repaired) should work as well as this did before the meltdown. Congratulations - a brilliant project!

Thank you so much! I did a lot of strength testing and prototyping for this single wall design, and I was so happy that it held together this well. Parts are on the printer now for the rebuild

Nice job, shame to lose it like that. I worked in 3D modelling and print since the mid 90"s and was sceptical that this would stay together under load in flight but the way it survived that impact was impressive.

AWESOME; reminds me of The Spruce Goose.... HUGE project, made from "heavy" material, proving the Design and Fab skills with ONE flight justified the entire Adventure !! Mission Accomplished !! I hope the FAA took note that the passenger compartment was still intact , and the faulty Lithium battery was WAY oversized (to scale) of FAA limits, LoL !

Extremely impressive. My only gripe is no retracts. Hopefully you design an upgrade to incorporate retracts for those that want that functionality. I loved all the other design elements though. Great job!
@WarJakEnterprises 2 жыл бұрын
Good thing it didn't have retracts because the loss would have been much greater. It's good to build an experimental, work all the bugs out, then deck it out with all the goodies.

What an amazing survival story. In scale, the engineering clearly outperformed actual contemporary aircraft. It would be interesting to see what a quarter scale model of a current production aircraft would do in the face of a common accident scenario.

When additional length is needed it should always be added between the ESC and the motor. Extending the battery leads can result in voltage spikes. If absolutely necessary they can be extended but for every 2 inches of length you need 1 extra capacitor at the ESC.

What a shame. Looks like the wire melted first which caused the battery to short. what gauge wire was the battery plug into?
@jtveg 2 жыл бұрын
Great build. 😉👌🏻 I've never seen a fully 3D printed model plane before. It seems that your wiring harness (motor leads) overheated due to high current and lack of cooling. Once the insulation melted the wires shorted causing the battery pack to fail and consequently lose all power and control. You can avoid full loss of control by using a seperate power source for the receiver and servos. Or just use much thicker wires.
