GrassHopper Ultralight

41.5k rexzion  3.8 years ago

This is the GrassHopper, a taildragger ultralight plane.
It's got a sm00th wing ;)

This is my first build to have an airfoil of this level, I'm really proud of this. Let's get to the build

Features/Stats:

  • 40 hrspr engine
  • accurate size and weight
  • flat bottomed airfoil
  • 120 kph max speed, and 50 kph stall speed
  • droopy control surfaces (look at the ailerons and how they move when you gain or decrease IAS)
  • FUN TO FLY (not guaranteed for everyone)
  • working yoke and yaw pedals

Controls:

AG1 : wing lights
AG2 : tail light
everything else is normal

    @FireFast212 my dude just try, your first attempt may not always work but if you try you'll at least learn and discover possible issues. don't pretend your aircraft is perfect, I used to think my aircraft when I first joined where top quality, I'm cringing at them now.
    JUST DO IT

    @rexzion
    polyhedral
    is when the wing bends like what you have, see how the wing tips point up, diheadral is the same thing but poly isnt in the middle? idk, just look up photos and you can see what i mean

    ok, the one thing I dont like is the main gear, it should not be centered like that, the struts for the wheels should meat at the corner of the frames, but it looks ok on this plane. just something i noticed :)

    Nice work. It’s so small next to the Voodoo.
