The New Sloroll biplane is based on the World famous Slofly28 made famous by Sloper steve and Gene bond, for years now I had started this project only to be side track with other builds and projects, I decided yesterday to revisit my project And the Sloroll was invented.

I came up with my Name after testing here indoor and the fact that she rolls slow and smooth.

Ok Fist off the items I had planed on using for the plane were simple items for the pilot and the builder on a budget.

1. Motorfly 2205-1350 http://www.sdparkflyers.com/motrofly.html
1. 10 amp brushless esc
2. 5 gram bluebird 306 servos for the Rudder + Elevator + 1. 9 hxt900 gram for the Ailerons
I would be using a gws tyrp 4 channel receiver
gws 9050 prop
9mm 1.3# epp foam for the fusealge + Rudder + Elevator
5mm 1.3# for the wings since there are now 2
and 5mm for the new wing braces.
3mm carbon was used for the fusealge + elevator
5mm flat carbon was used in both the wings
a motor mount the kind I sell on my site was used
I also went with 2mm carbon rods for the x bracing for the wings
and the control rods and Aileron linkage,
grabed some stir sticks from starbucks for the control horns for the ailerons


This plane can be built using all the plans from the original sloyfly28 with a few minor mods I will post pictures so you can see how I did what I did!

Pictures speak volumes so as soon as I get home I will upload..

First Look Video

I will add the google sketch file later

I just added the google sketchup file for those of you who might want to convert it for your printer
All I ask in return is if you cut and fly this Kit please let people know where you got the plans

You can post pictures and stuff about this in the vendor section on RCGROUPS under my

sdparkflyers section also.

If anyone wants to cut kits for sell using EPP foam send me a email so we can talk first

Thanks

I love sdparkflyers. That is where I got the notion to start making planes out of foam. It was back in the day when it was slofly. I cut many of the slofly kits by hand, even bought my blue wonders and motor mounts from them. Robert has always been a tremendous source of information and inovation.

Has anybody put the phlat to this one yet?

 

WOW Everyone thanks for the Hardy Welcome I have Designed all my plans that I build using EPP with Google sketchup so I have much to share with the group

Frank and Brian over at rcflightcast are the ones that told me about the Phlatforum and since Im all about giving back to the hobby I will share what I can with you all.

And Again thanks for making me feel Welcome

 

I love the full plan files. Thanks Rob. I got that in my email and am already messing with it further. Copme on Spring time!

 

For those of you who dont know me I will only post stuff here on the boards once I have built and tested it

I dont want to waste anyones time and effort in posting a set of plans that only results in a plane that wont fly! or is so out of control that you feel cheated or pissed after you spent all your time building.

I hand cut many of my original designs and then tear them down and convert them to a google file once I know they fly well enough to meet my standards, My research team "Me myself and I" Just does not want to cheat anyone into seeing a video or building a plane that does not work!

If you have a design even if its a sketch and you would like me to run your idea through Google sketchup let me know And I will do my Best to help!

 

WOW, this is a cool little plane, Thanks Robert and Mark for the plans!!! I always loved the slofly 28 and this bipe will be a great addition to the hanger

I will print this one tomorrow evening after work, thanks Mark and thanks SD!!! :mrgreen:

 

Mark and Trish thanks for taking the time to showcase my Little plane

 

Bleh started cutting one last night and the EPP skewed all over the place, gues I am going to need a fence mod or something to keep it straight

 

I have been looking this project over. Very neat. One question tho...SketchUp drawing shows wings as 5mm EPP and the Phlatcode shows them as 3mm. Is this a typo or has it been decided 3mm works okay?

...somewhere in Indiana...

 

The plane in the Video has 5mm epp wings it might just be a mistake!

 

After my post, I jumped into RCFoam to see what they had in 5mm EPP. They do not list any 5mm EPP. I recalled sdparkflyers saying he bought his stuff from RCFoam in 12" widths. RCFoam lists 9mm, 6mm, 3mm, but I don't see any 5mm.

Chuck

 

6mm should be ok!

I bought my 5mm from http://www.rcskyflyer.com

They are based out here on the west coast
