Spad X11

[mechplas]

For $20 worth of material and 24 hrs of building, this is the best SPAD I have ever build.

FFF, Tight Loops, Furious Rolls, Extreme Verticals, and can glide for landings...no need for hot approaches. But must do a hot take off cause no rudder.

With Standard Servos and MVVS 0.28, this plane performs well.

Wing Span 40"
Chord 11"
Wing loading about 17oz/sq in
Prop 9 x 6 MA 12,000++rpm


Let me know if you need more specs for construction.

Thicken the airfoil n increase the control surfaces n ull be hovering away oh n yes add a rudder

Nice job!

[mechplas]

Thanks all for the compliments.

YZY: The next one will have a rudder but not for hovering, but more controlled ROG take-offs.

HZM: Electric?.....no lah no confi. The wing alone is the weight of one of the GWS kits.

Are you going there tomorrow? Or are you going to take another break?

I am planning on drawing up the instructions and plans for the X11. Some has asked for it after seeing it in action on Saturday.

Therefore, I MAY not be flying today if I have to dismantle the X11 for measurment.
