This plane is, sadly, gone. The newest version is here.
My 60″ scratch-built flying wing, the Papa Divine. Papa’s built from four sheets of ReadiBoard (Dollar Tree Foamboard) covered with Dollar Tree celophane gift wrap and decorated with colored packing tape.
AUW – 682 grams / 24 ounces.
Wing loading – 1.8 grams per square inch / 0.28 grams per square centimeter
Papa’s got LED strip lights for night flying (about 80 LEDs in total.) The colors and layout were dictated by the random assortment of LEDs I had on hand at the time (i.e. a lot of blue.)
Setup:
- 30 amp Turnigy Plush ESC
- EMAX CF2822 1200kV outrunner
- (2) Power Up 25g AS3513NG servos
- 10×4.7 / 10×3.8 slow-fly prop
There’s no build thread for the MkII plane, but you’ll find the build thread for the original MkI version, here. Here are the build dimensions. (Elevons not shown.)
I changed the airfoil and some other details between the first/prototype model and my current model. Read more about that, here.
