PERFECT FOR FLYING TIGHT SPACES! The BAT RC airplane!

I just flew the improved version of the BAT (Backyard Airplane Trainer) and was so excited I just had to share with you! Build plans and video are in the works!

Reminds me a little of the I.F.O. I used to have. It used elevons with nearly 90 degrees of throw. It was a carbon fiber stick bent into a circle with ripstop kite fabric. Very light. Would do maneuvers that most planes couldn't even think of.

I just found this video on this plane and I am impressed with it's performance. I thank you for posting the plans as well. This looks like a paper on foamboard plane which I think are much more sturdy. I am going to have to build one of these soon. 👍

This design is simply so perfect for a basketball court or other tight areas. I’m currently building one following your tutorials, and I hope it flies well.

Please add plans, I want to do a 4 ch version! What motor esc setup are you using?

[nathanli]

Thanks for this design! I already made mine and I'm loving it. I'm considering to add a bit of wing dihedral to help with roll stability, any thoughts?

Really enjoyed building my own. I have an issue with the ESC. The motor turns slowly and intermittently. Any ideas??

can you tell me the 2s lipo mah and the c rating please, i am building one atm with an mt 2204 2300kv motor with the same 6x3 prop and at the moment have a 3s 1300mah 45c battery, just a little concerned about the weight. i also have a A2212/13t 1000kv motor, whats your opinion on trying this with a 10" prop, have tried it with the 6x3 and there is no pulling power at all, even at full throttle it wont even drag its own weight across the ground!

I’m new to the hobby and that looks awesome. I would love to have a go at building one. Do you have any plans for it?

[rcbiker]

where is the cg on your bat model? or approx where should it be please?

Is it possible to build this rc plane using a coroplast/sunpack sheet? depron/foam board is not easily available here.
