Hoverwing design
« on: December 27, 2011, 03:40:59 am »
Hello everyone, I am looking for a design for a RC hoverwing.  I have a great idea that I have on paper but I do not understand the dynamics of remote controlled hovercraft that can fly.  If anyone would like to assist me in tackling this project I am open for suggestions.  Many thanks in advance.  This would need to be a working model.

no chance to build them.

You need at least 3 of them exactly - and by exactly I mean EXACTLY - the same.
They need to be light and have exactly - you know what I mean - the same form & carving.
And in the end you would have 3 wings but the'd fall apart as soon as the heli is running.

Sorry to ruin your plan, but that will not in any way work out. Ask someone with a heli (I never had one but was doing model crafts for years).

I think Torsten is right ! i have never heard of anyone making one like this, aeroplanes yes but never anything that hovers. i have both and the helicopters are very complex pieces of machinery..Pete

geneVG, if my understanding is correct it is a cross between a hovercraft and and aeroplane, it has short stubby wings and fly's very close to the ground!
It may be possible to build one  but i think the balance issues would be a real problem , but if Tracey Ranson ever manages to build a working model i would love to see it...Pete

Ah, ok... so it's some kind of flying hovercraft... strange.

@ Tracy
In that case -> go to a model craft forum for that, they will teach you through the process of designing wings and the hovercraft portion.
I could help you a bit if were for a sailing boat or the RC stuff.
