RC Rogallo wing

Nice, I remember as child being fascinated by an article about NASA's rogallo development in an old edition of Aeroplane Monthly inherited from my uncle

Neat stuff! Have a brushless KF wing that's yet to maiden.

@Gipetto,
warhead052 admitted on the chat that he was trolling, hence my harsh replys.Better ignore him.

I have good hopes that it'll fly today ! Nice weather, and dad's not at work.
I am a little bit worried by the Center of Gravity, tough. I placed it at an arbitrary value, and tested it by running across the room with the rogallo in my hands ...
Not sure if the results are any good

But anyway, the rudder and elevator have so much control on the plane that I'm not afraid I'll loose control. I'm crossing my fingers

Demon, I wasn't fully trolling, but I do really want it to fly. I am just sick of being trolled that it feels good to return the favor.


Gippeto, Thanks! I might actually use that.

Hey, I've found the cheapest way to display the video on a screen ! (0$)
My dad had a RF to NTSC to USB key converter to watch TV on a laptop, and gave me the free use of it.

So I will install the 900 Mhz video Rx on my laptop's lid, along with its battery, and with the USB to NTSC converter I will receive the video directly onto my computer's screen !

But I am not there yet. The maiden (Plain aircraft, not drone) flight will take place tomorrow at 7:00 AM in the 40 000 square meters terrain near my house.
