I am Alex and kind of the project leader. The airplane is not meant to attack the leading F3K models in competition, but we expect high performance from our design, so taking part in a competition should be fine. As our cnc-milling machine is only 800mm long, we decided to make a two-piece wing design, like the two-piece Snipe or Vibe. We want to apply all modern building techniques like full Rohacell core to get an airplane at about 250g AUW. The “Bachelor” had many difficult elements in the build and a lot could go wrong. We want to create a high-performance model, which is easy to build at the same time. We have learned a lot from the past designs and we can learn even more from current competition models. Of course, the build shall be according to the F3K FAI regulations. None of our old designs can really profit from these advances – so it’s time to make a new airplane! Light and strong NCFs, 1s LiPo setups, super strong mini servos and full foam core technology have revolutionized F3K. Our HLG models are “Genius” (2002), “Climax” (2004), “Bachelor” (2012).įive years have passed since our last HLG design and technology made huge progress. Some of the HLG designs were also experimental and not meant to enter international contests. The F5D model “Batleth” was quite successful in the mid to end 2000’s. However, they were hardly used at contests, as our pilots rather focused on F5D pylon racing in the past. Since 2002, the AkaModell Munich has developed some F3K models. We do all the design and build ourselves and we usually work with MATLAB, CATIA V5, XFLR5, XFOIL, MSES/MSIS. We take part in student competitions like the Air Cargo Challenge, where we finished 2nd out of 28 teams in the 2017 edition of the Air Cargo Challenge.
We are the AkaModell from Munich, a group of students from Munich who work on RC aircraft and drone projects. We are still looking for a name for the aircraft, maybe you have some great ideas? Hi everybody! In this thread we want to introduce our new F3K project! Right now, it is work in progress, but a lot has already happened and we like to share our progress with you.
