It took about a week to CAD this design using Autodesk Inventor® and AutoCAD®, after a few weeks of mental planning and brainstorming. Beta builders then joined in, hand-cutting and assembling the bird in just a few days. Team members Jason Potosky and David Haakinson successfully flew their models on 2205 motors. After a few weeks of fine tuning the design to ease the build process, increase structural rigidity and improve flight performance, we finalized the plans and built Dominic his new parkflyer, v2 of the mighty mini P40.
Center of Gravity: 1.15 inches from leading edge at wing root (front wing crease)Control Surface Throws: 12 – 16˚ deflection, 30% expo all around
The general cutting and assembling processes for this P40 are just about the same as for any other mighty mini FT warbird. However, there are certain steps that require special attention and care, such as the scoop assembly and the wing attachment. To ensure that your build is structurally sound and aerodynamically symmetric, please refer to this illustrated pdf build guide (in arhive with plans). It will take you through the steps necessary to put together the mini Warhawk, electronics and all.
