V-1 Buzzbomb

[burkefj]

I started a thread on rcgroups to show the progress on my V-1. I did a profile version that used an electric tractor in the pulsejet pod. However it was pretty large and that didn't lend itself to rocket boost.

So, I am doing a smaller version that fits onto a standard depron sheet, uses a cruciform structure like my X-15 and A4B.

Check it out if interested, as I make progress I'll post more:

I'm using a centerline motor setup, so had to modify tail somewhat to allow for some support for the motor mount, and moved the wings back slightly to allow an easier flight CG to be achieved.

Test flights were perfect, first test flight needed about 15 clicks of uptrim for post boost glide, second flight linked here, I programmed that into the flap switch so at appogee I just hit the switch and it goes from neutral trim to glide trim, very controllable, even with a good wind, boost was nice and easy, glide was not bad even in the wind.

View in full screen for best picture, plane will get small, but you can easily see the boost and landing.
