Got the lam wing version of the Stix 50 Spl in the air this weekend. I tried the Fat Wing with the 120 ax and a saito 100, both plenty of power. Ended up with the 120 on the nose, its just makes me more giddy :mrgreen:

I maidened the lam version with a YS 70 dz, plenty of power, flew really nice at 4# 9oz. I could see that being a great 3d trainer set up. The plan was to try with the 70 and then open up the motor mount for the 120. Plan worked well, 120 is on the nose now, 5# 4oz. I used some lighter servos in the lam wing, and also used a solid ply motor mount instead of the built up like the Fat wing. This allowed the engine to be moved all the way rearward on the Lam wing, bringing the engine and tail servos closer to the center of mass.

Interestingly enough, swapping the piped 120 for either the YS70 or Saito 100, the airframe did not need any drastic changes to get the plane to balance. Moving the smaller motors forward, or moving the battery rearward in the wing was all that was needed. Even though the 120 is heavier, with the pipe running so far back, it is not as big a swing as one might expect.

Im loving the lam wing by the way :drunk: :drunk:

Thanks to TriFlyer for sharing another fun slab :rockon:
Thanks to MCDDD for making it possible :rockon:

Just noticed your slab matches your shoes. Are you a pro pilot?

 

[ThumbSkull]

May just be a slab operator...

Had the gear for a bigger plane. Scratched out a RadYak 87

Short vid, hovering around, nothing fancy, just having some fun

 

[WoodPilot]

So it flew? Where's the video? How'd it go?

Twin Piped 120ax powered P-38. I think the thought of two 120s is what fueled this one. Fun project :mrgreen:

Decided to give a PBXL a try. I did not have plans, so just tried to size it for aYS63. It was interesting :wink:

I think I still have digital plans for the RadYak 47 and 57.

All the Stix, GBR and SBach are from probro TriFlyer. He sells plans.

The Primo plans are on this site, as well as the Lamyak.

ProBro Allen wanted the P-38 plans, not sure if he ever did anything with them.

Most of the Caps were one off scratch builds. :drink:
