| BOEING BIRD OF PREY EDF DEVELOPMENT | |||||||||||
| This development started with the construction of a pink foam chuck glider to test CG locations, and wing incidence studies. Once the test glides of the chuck glider were successful. I added RC equipment and a speed 280 motor and created a prop pusher model from the glider. It took alot of tries to get the control throw correct. I had 3 successful flight and 5 short flights ending in crashes. The plane suffered a lot of damage and gained alot of weight. I decided to retire the plane and build a larger version that I could try an EDF unit. |  |
