Hello
I also printed it and immediately put a 50mm edf in 3S.
I told myself that she would never fly with the 40.
Well done for your videos.

Thank you sir for sharing this, cool build, and watching the crash counter go up and up made me feel better about myself...
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

You are a good sport for admitting your failures along with your success. Great attitude man! It seemed a bit underpowered/heavy to my inexperienced eye. Have a great evening!

Hey Troy, you're really close to success here, please don't give up! Observing how the bird behaves shows it has insufficient yaw stability - its always yawing to the left under the influence of the EDF unit's torque. This is likely relatively easy to fix - possible solutions include (i) add a transparent extensions to the vertical surfaces using thin clear plastic sheet; (ii) make up some seagull feet and add them to the model, positioning them so that they add vertical area as far back as possible, (iii) make a new, longer tail, or better (iv) reposition the existing tail at a greater distance behind the seagull body (could make up an extension piece to achieve this). Option (i) would be very easy to implement. Moving the balance point slightly further forward will assist marginally in increasing yaw stability. Hope this helps :-)

Nice Build! I am still thinking your problem on Cg position. I feell that ıt's a little bit tail heavy.

[Dartheomus]

Did this thing crash immediately? No video of the flight at all?

[Abuzuzu]

Good performance, well done ..
Hoping succed next time .

[impuls]

The moment he said it was windy I knew it was going to crash^^. Clean build!

The paint job 🔥the video like always 💯💙

[RC-planes.]

And nice paint (it's so realistic) good job guys

[davidpiper]

Reduce the weight with no fan and a smaller battery and slope soar it. It looks really good.

[spaulvin-husky]

Unfortunately not enough directional stability due to high wingspan/low rudder arm
Anyway, looks spectacular!

[ignatplatnitski]

Thats amazingly cute! Paintjob awesome incredible. Eyes looking so realistick! Thats also cool about everything that you build got optimistick smile. Nice team buddy, next time will be better!😎🤘💪

[mikenowland]

I can see a Pterodactyl in your future. Aced the paint job Mrs Troy 👍

[knowledgebyte]

Lovely build. More power Scotty! She can-ne take it captain, she can-ne take it. Better fan or motor is required, as that thing needs about 20% more thrust I’d say. See the Grumpy Modellers YouTube channel. He does a lot of ducted fan jets.

You need to mix it on you RC pad like a flying wings drive type. Cause it dosent have elevator. May be you need to fix the gate, it dose nt needable to fly with this aircraft.
Amazing art and hand work!

[fendyrony]

Great plastic bucket to scare crows in the garden! )))

[weirdsciencetv]

You might consider split ailerons. This way you can get both roll, pitch and yaw control from the wings alone. You might still mix in rudder too.

Good morning Troy, I am in the process of printing and building the sea gull, everything is going well. Where did you purchase the carbon fiber rods. This project has taught me a lot about 3d printing and using Cura. Thanks for the great videos. Happy flying.

[mgargon]

Hi Troy I built it too ; but I am wondering how to set the mixing program to fly the seagull could you please advise ? Best regards
