The foam slab construction was from a single sheet of 3/4-inch extruded foam. The first was a hand-launched glider, the second one was propeller driven, and finally it was powered by eight EDF units. Its development was completed in several test-flight stages.
The availability of today’s small EDF units made me want to take another run at a larger B-52. With its wide wingspan, long moments, and generous surface areas, it did well. Back when we were all flying with brushed motors and NiCd batteries, I made a B-52 as a twin propeller-driven model with a 3-foot wingspan. Mad Thrust 40 mm eight-blade EDF 800 Kv motors (330 watt) eight 26-amp ESCs two 3S 4,500 mAh LiPo batteriesĪs RC models go, I have always thought of the B-52 as a glider with swept wings.
