A Wing Dragon with a difference
It's still recognisable as a Wing Dragon but only just!
The wings and tail are conventional built up structures but all done with 2mm Depron sheet. The differential ailerons are quite small so only need 3.7 gm servos. The rest of the trailing edge is taken up with big flaps (working off the rudder channel) also with 3.7gm servos. The elevator servo (3.7 gm again) is in the fin.
A 2812 brushless and 1500mAh 3s LiPo complete the picture and what's more it weighs 25% LESS (that's 6 ounces!) than a standard WD.
It has quite a spectacular performance and those flaps really work. This video shows a full power climb, a glide pass, another climb then a full flap landing.
