One thing you might want to look at CLOSELY is the positioning of the floats on a typical airplane. You will notice that the floats extend well in front of the nose of the plane. Yours were WELL Behind the nose of the aircraft. Additionally, The 'float step' position should be at or just behind the Center of Gravity of the plane.

@azalea_moon-kee Жыл бұрын

Yep that's exactly it. Your floats were designed for stability on the ground as opposed stability on the water. The old.old.old episode with Andris making floats perfectly encapsulates the fundamentals of float positioning.

That Flerken design, even sitting statically, has got what my grandmother would've called "presence"; it's absolutely beautifully conceived and executed. 🎉

FYI, the camo is called M90 Splinter. It’s a Swedish camouflage that has many different iterations to include woodland, desert, urban, and a blue sky version for aircraft. It is a very popular camouflage used by the Russian Air Force and also the Swedish military in general. 8:55

I’ve had my eye on the flerken for a while. At this point I think I am decided on this being my first splash into foam board planes. And then I will probably be building a lot of my own.

@kam5484 Жыл бұрын

I couldn't help but notice the trainer plane "Van's Rv 2ris" you guys are assembling, through the fpv cam. It's almost done, and cant wait to see it.

@jarekmace1536 Жыл бұрын

For float design, get a large kiddie pool and tether the tail so you can find out how it sits and pulls in the water. a long tarp and a bunch of sandbags can make a stable water runway on the lawn that can be filled even in winter. You just have to fill and use it within a few hours or it'll freeze.

@williamstrathman7117 Жыл бұрын

I was also thinking about the Flerking being pretty close to the OV-10. The OV-10 has rectangular flat "hershey bar" wings, same with the tail, the booms are slab sides. The main fuselage is also slabs except for the rounded canopy and "pyramid" tail. AND, Bob Hoover's OV-10 was all white, so you don't even have to paint it. But if you want to paint it, you got Marines, Navy and Air Force colors, and probably various foreign users too. I vote for a very big OV-10. Great job on all your kits in any case.

You know what they should make a plane that can drop a missile right and using a little rocket they can make a cruise missile with a camera on the front. So pretty much there's gonna be a body and a rocket then in the front there's gonna be a camera I think it's a good video but these videos are so coool
