Test of Easy Glider Wing on Wing Dragon ST.wmv

A modification of the 4-channel wing dragon/begin-air by replacing the standard wing with a Multiplex Easy Glider wing. This changed a 41" wingspan plane to a 72" wingspan plane. The goal was to increase the payload so that the plane can carry the heavier payload associated with an video piloting system. A carbon fiber cap was made to cover the wing joint and allow the wing to be rubber banded to the fuselage. This wing dragon has already been modified with a brushless motor/3S 2200mah Lipo battery. All that remains is to add the FPV camera and transmitter! The plane performed well with a bit of un-commanded yaw. It also glided well and I found some thermals! Inflight recording was done with a Flip Video Mino HD camera which was nylon bolted to the fuselage and reinforced with gorilla tape (the new duct tape!).
