Like the spaceX drone ships , Just Read The Instructions and Of Course I Still Love You , for landing the spent Falcon 9 boosters on after re-entry.
I still have to paint the name on it . I was thinking Awegon . Its a running joke between a few buddies and I . When something disappears or...
Oh. Thanks for the explaination of that. Thanks for pointing that out. Definitely did something wrong on the calculator. I don't think I could...
I have the floats and foil set at 30 degrees relative to the fuselage when looking from above. So in theory wind resistance is at its lowest with...
Nothing in this world is ever cheap. Something I heard someone say a few years ago: if it flies, floats or f*cks... rent it. How does CL differ...
In all honesty I don't have a clue what CL2 and CL3 are. I know what a coefficient lift is and I know what an aspect ratio is. Since I don't know...
Also there is an orange wind warning tonight and tomorrow so I'm afraid there won't be any test runs on Thursday.
NACA 2315 or something thereabouts. I know it's far too thick as well. To my knowledge at this scale I should be thinking something along the...
Thanks Could you further explain cavitation numbers and the graph below. What do you mean by CL2 and CL3. I do have a slanted foil but I'm not...
Sanding the foil and added a fence to stop ventilation
Just an update. Looks like the weather forecast is finally right for a run or 2 on Thursday maybe. 15kn from the west with high tide. Going to do...
That is true. I suppose the hull or paravane would almost certainly exceed the speed of the kite while bearing away along the course rather than...
My point exactly why we require at least one hull and to start from rest. "This isn't a boat" would be a pretty good argument for a dynamic...
It prevents hurricane helium balloon towing and ensures the craft is heavier than air but lighter than water , and excludes land or ice boats and...
As far as I can find on Google there is no official speed record for a remote control boat. Without anything being official there are currently no...
And I a humble carpet fitter.
Even after spending months on a school project about the wright brothers I never knew about that.
Also as wrong as it is to say a sailboats only purpose is to sail upwind I think its equally wrong to say a glider or planes only purpose is to...
My bad. Yeah first flight was just 37 metres. Longest flight was 260 meters
Maybe if they had thought about it they could have flown longer than the wingspan of an A380.
