X-UAV Talon Wing Extensions

Posted by Christiaan van Vollenstee on April 3, 2014 at 11:41pm

I got my first shipment in for the Talon's extension wings and it looks promising. The only thing I am afraid of is that the main wing is a bit loose now but I will make a plan before I fly.

Hi Christiaan, did you get the tricycle landing gear with your wing extensions?

I have mine, but it came with no instructions on how to install/secure it, or even how to put together the smaller laser cut pieces of wood I can't find a good use for.

Did you install yours, or you're not using it?

And do you have a link to instructions by any chance?

Thanks.

@Gary, we flown again yesterday and with the extension wings this plane is as dorsal as a little kitty. I am going to epoxy the wings together. We did a fly by wire B and this plane was impossible to crash, as well as the stalling speed in 0 wind was around 33km/h. This is an absolutely great plane. I will be sending your planes today.

You can use guerrilla epoxy glue.

@Christiaan, what glue did you use to glue the CF spars on the EPO foam of the fuselage ?

Ohh that's interesting I look forward to exploring it. I did write the stall down somewhere but have lost it. Will let know next week when I fly it again ;-)

I would be afraid the tail surfaces will stall first at lower speeds now. I had experience with that on a large UAS in Afghanistan.

What will you say the stall speed of the Talon is now? And what do you think it will be with the wing extensions?
