Toro slow flying wing

Andrew Newton

This is a scratch built version of the Toro Wing. EPP cut by flying friend George to be setup as a light weight slow night flier. I'll install some LED strips eventually.

Your old Synapse flying wing could even fly slower.

Imperial Fire - 6 years ago

I was looking to make a wing that I could carry on my back when cycling or hiking...
Never flown flying wings B4.
This toro just might be my first build.... should be fun

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Might be too big for backpacking but it will be light enough

Dmitry Artemenko - 6 years ago

Awesome wing ! Give a URL to plans, pls

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

I dont have plans but I have added a link in the description now

Алексей Петров - 6 years ago

It,s good!

Bahahahahaha!!! My phone subtitles said elephant when you said ailerons!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMALOLLOLOOOO¡!!!!!!!!!????!!!!!? X-D

X¬D

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Don't think my transmitter can do elephant mixing, hahahaha

wordreet - 6 years ago

Oh it was elevons, not too surprising but dead funny all the same. :-D

Anthony Long - 6 years ago

does it slope soar ?

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Bet it will

Lauren Robison - 6 years ago

That looks fun! That would be a great wing for someone to learn on ya know? Especially with some clear cello tape on the elevons.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Yes it would, good call

Joanne Lowery - 6 years ago

Oh yay! That looks like a great indoor flyer.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Definitely

RC planes John Reap - 6 years ago

laminating film ironed on to both sides of the elevons will make them stiff... the same film put on to the wing will make the wing stronger.. Even used for replacing spars....laminating film is easy to apply with a modelling iron, setting the temperature just below the melting point of the foam gets a good bond.. This works well on EPP and Depron types of foam, and I use it a lot in strips for stopping flex on all sorts of models

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

I found its more wing twist than elevons. Don't want to add any weight, it's fine at slower speeds.

OOps forgot to scroll down,you gave every detail already ...Cheers John

esp224 - 6 years ago

Loved that slow fly,almost as good as the slope!Envy you your flying field, nice amount of space with a great coloured sky and cloud backdrop.Another enjoyable video.Only question, could you advise on prop size please....Cheers John

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

I think I prefer slow to fast. Might investigate super slow flight.

James Lamb - 6 years ago

Balsa flaps? It's going to be a great light wind sloper.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Just discovered the problem is wing twist more than elevons. But it's not a problem at normal speeds. I want to keep this as light as possible.

RamFun - 6 years ago

Super slow fly great Andrew!

EnglishTurbines - 6 years ago

Ah, low wing loading....As soon as you launched it you could see it was flying properly....These things are picky on wing section, reflex is what you need, and not just in the Elevons either....Something our Chinese friends seem to ignore all the time.
Which is why they nod all over the sky.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

It's a delight on a calm day, walking pace

ELIMINATOR_3.7 - 6 years ago

Nice, do you know the cruise speed?

ELIMINATOR_3.7 - 6 years ago

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Thats the slowest cruising speed. It can go much faster to punch through the wind but it's best in calm wind

ELIMINATOR_3.7 - 6 years ago

Thx, I like slow planes, but 8km/h might be too little, if there is any wind.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Slow jogging pace, so maybe 8kph

Mike Reyes - 6 years ago

Nice flying wing andrew. I'd like to built one of these. Can you make a built video? Or can you provide some templates of the airfoil and dimensions so I can cut them out using the hotwire cutter.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

It has been around for years Mike https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1863060-Twisted-Hobbys-TELINK-Toro-900-35-EPP-Wing

didactylos4 diddy4 - 6 years ago

That's a real floater. It flies slower than most of my toy planes. Love it

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Big and light. I'll have to push the concept even further and make a bigger slower version

SWEET!!

Peter Franzen - 6 years ago

White glue and brown paper should fix the elavons it adds a lot of stiffness to depron type foam.
Office works have small to large rolls cheap , it whieghs 50 GSM.
There are lots of videos how to videos YouTube.

Peter Franzen - 6 years ago

Very nice , do you know where you're mate got the EPP for this wing.

Peter Franzen - 6 years ago

Andrew Newton Thanks mate .

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

In Melbourne somewhere, I'll find out where.

Natange Sararas - 6 years ago

Where can I buy EPP foam (for hot wiring) online?

Ryz 3D - 6 years ago

the 2300kv motor really surprised me for that kinda speed, beautiful :o

VaughnG71 - 6 years ago

Was thinking the same thing, seems to work though. I'll try an 1806 I have lying around for a similar build. Little lighter with comparable power.

Andrew Newton - 6 years ago

Running on less than half throttle most of the time
