DIY Rc Paraglider

During Test flights, you know there while being lots of crashes before you get it right there for we needed to build it cheap using a parafoil kite and 55/64mm EDF that we got laying around keeping the price under 50$

At the beginning, we kept the design basic just a simple foam body for the battery and EDF with a wooden dowel on top to attach the parafoil too

No servo's for steering yet it's all about finding the correct thrust angle, of course, you can also change the AOA of the Wing but you don't learn everything at once

During the Test fase, it's a lot smarter to take small steps at a time making it easier to find out what works and what don't

We found the thrust angle of a Rc Paraglider to be pointed up to the front of the wing
So the motor is pushing us forward and up just to make things clear...

By changing the length B, C, and D raisers compared to the A raiser you change the Angle of Attack from the Wing this can make you fly faster thru the air and works Just like a speed bar pulling your A raisers down changing the AOA making you go faster

A speed bar is a bit more advanced stuff for later on in the project showing you how to make it with  Two servo's, setting it up with your transmitter so it also works like a weight shifting, and how to use it in different wind conditions

With the Thrust angle correct we added Two servo's with long sticks for steering with fishing line running to the Edge of the wing at the back

You need long arms to get at least 10cm movement from your servo's to have any steering authority during flight

The best choice is Full Metal Gear Servo's that can handle 12 to 15 kilo
