what about my design?

But does it have a means of propulsion?

I think you may be being picky . . .

Except it has a means of control.

The more I think about it, this makes no sense at all. Someone is winding us up 😉

Now, how is the real gs001? Is it rweaver again? 😉

some one has the same idea

wow, so many experts here!
thanks for your suggestions and the websites you offer.
I just interested in fly,
as a beginner I have to leran more from you
of course I don’t want to die:-)

Janie:
I’m waiting for your explanation of “how a paraglider
and the trike turns”.

If I have more questions, I’ll come here to ask you.

I agree with you Damien.

If you do not know the principles, stop it. Otherwise someone might get hurt in a bad way. This ‘design’ lacks everthing we have learned in the past 100 years or so.

I might get banned for saying this, but gs001, get a live! If you continue with this ‘design’ work of yours, your live will be very short indeed! 😮

I’ll fly it. I need the hours (and the danger money).

If you still want to design something yourself, and fly it, then I think your first stop should be a place like this:

http://www.aircraftdesigns.com/books.html

There you can buy some book, or another, covering everything you need to know about aircraft design and flight testing.

If you like to have a look at at the thinking behind the design of an aircraft (a jet) you can look here:

Have a look at this:

You may find that what you are looking for has already been invented!

Have you studied the three axes: Pitch, roll and yaw (not swerve)? If you get a grasp of these basic concepts (it is the first thing any pilot learns), then you may be able to answer some of your own questions.

If you move the centre of gravity for movement control, you will have a very unstable aeroplane(note: a “plane” is something that you use to smooth wood!!). The Wright Brothers tried this. It works for a while, but not for long.

Think about elevators, ailerons or even elevons. If you do not like the idea of “a series of ropes, pulleys, springs to control rudders” then you might as well take up ballooning!

I’ll save explaining how a paraglider and the like turns for another day.

Firstly My knowledge about aviation is really limited.
I just want design a plane easy to manufacture.
I hate to use a series of ropes, pulleys, springs to control rudders.
that will be too complex. I believe to any machine:
more simple means more reliable.
My “plane” only has two moveable components—the two control bar
use this two bar(maybe also need to move center of gravity)
to control the plane.
But I’m not sure if my plane be able to swerve if I don’t use
vertical rudders. paraglider and hang glider don’t have vertical rudders but they can swerve.
Is there any experts?

Lovely colours.

Looks like it has had an encounter with the ugly tree. 😀

I would be very concerned about the directional stability, for starters, as there does not seem to be any kind of Fin/Rudder incorporated in the ‘design’.

There does not appear to be any provision for roll control, at least not on the wings. Maybe the elevators on the canard could be made differential to provide somesort of roll control, however limited that would be.

All in all, I would not try to fly this ‘thing’ :rolleyes:
