18wheeler »» models flying race   posted: 25-Mar-07 13:43   »»  I am run a race with flyers. these qualifications must be met for a model to be a flyer. 1. you must have some grvity applied to the model. 2. your model must be able to take off unassisted 3. your model must be able to fly for at least five seconds 4. last, your model must have no other method of moving than flying. so if your model fell and could not take off and can still move it is a hybrid land plane and would be disqualified I will give you recomondations on how to build a good flyer. large wings require less flapping but get tangled and lose control. small wings work best make then move very fast or you wont be able to get your model off the ground. make your model very stiff or it will turn into a floating blob witch is allowed but dosent look very nice. all flyers will shake alot when they fly but to to them fly steady not be steady. most flyers can fly in a straight line so they are hard to get them started. i am working on a propulsion system that will move the model fowards PS ill post the race and more flyer ideas as so as i get ten models from u guys

John_F »» models »» homepage Re: flying race   posted: 27-Mar-07 01:20   »»  STDP, but I just tested my model in sodarace. Really weird thing happens, the gravity seems to be exaggerated, causing it to plummet to the ground.

edlinfan »» models »» homepage Re: flying race   posted: 21-Apr-07 04:22   »»  I made the race! Unfortunately, because the physics engines of Sodarace and Sodaplay are slightly different, only two finish! My fast_flier takes an early lead, but explodes from low f and high k a few seconds later. Jackman's stays ahead for a while, but ultimately Spiritbomb's more efficient design wins! race: http://sodarace.net/upload/edlinfan/fliers.1.jnlp
