On the following pages you can browse some of the recent model aircraft I designed and built.

• Planke1 - my first flying wing glider, a simple plank with a Fauvel airfoil
• Planke2 - the next step in the evolution of my planks
• Planke3 - the current project, a 2m flying wing glider in plank design with brushless motor

The vacuum-system I build from a fish tank air pump:

I’m using a simple vertical tube pulling colored water from a bottle to measure the pressure difference:

With 0.3 bar difference I get really good results:
