My group is designing an LSA for our Senior Project. We have decided to build an R/C model to verify its flying qualities due to the lack of available wind tunnel. We are planning to scale the model based on off-the-shelf model engine power and matching inertia; we are still researching sizing. What I would like to know are methods of testing the model. Specifically what types of instruments can be used to qualify its flying qualities or anything you think may be important. Any suggestions are welcome. It can be as low tech as eyeballing angle of attack and approximating speed with a stopwatch, but I do not want our measurements to be limited to those methods.
