mod

I thought that this would be interesting to some readers given a few other comments about not liking the models where the wings are glued in position to the fuselage, so here's my modification to the Simple Scout, from the UK. Having printed out the plans at 100% scale I also took a look at the...

An Arrow doent make sense if you have no bow. So this thing is a great addition to your arrow, although its flying caracteristics are the complete opposite. Its so slow and gentle that you can chase it by running or fly a few inches low over the ground, but it has enouth power for unlimited...

After building my first Mini Arrow I realized very quickly that the electronics pod was not big enough for me. I squeezed my 1000mah 3S in there anyway and taped the thing shut. Well that Arrow had a quick drop with a sudden stop, so I decided to make a new one with a bigger pod. I started...

This past November Hobbyking had countless days of sales, and I was able to pick up a pair of Fatshark Dominator V3s for $100 off! I also got a Quanum HB5808 receiver (LaForge clone) to go along with it. I have been rocking the same pair of Quanum DIY V1 goggles since I started FPV, so this is a...

Hi all, I created a new thread to ask these questions because I didn't find anything applicable through searching the forum so please share links to the appropriate threads if anybody knows of one. My first question is does anybody think I could modify the trainer wing (with up turned winglets)...

I am looking for something like the Spektrum DX5e or anything similar that is full range. I need it for a mod. I am building a module for the Taranis to use DSM2 and DSMX. thanks!

I watched the Taranis Gimbal mod video and read the article. They look like nice gimbals. Could someone find out what the mounting hole spacing and gimble diameter are? I've been looking around and I can't find any mechanical drawings for it. I'm looking to replace the gimbles in an older...

My school bought some goggles for our FPV team, one of them being a dominator v1. However I hate the eye cup things, and would like a faceplate, like this: Specified for HD and v2 http://www.getfpv.com/dominator-hd-v2-faceplate-with-fan.html or Specified for Attitude v3...

howdy! any one else have some sexy pimped ESC's to show? :p heres mine sofar in a before (left) after (right) shot - added roughly 1mm of acrylic coating, against oxidation and splash water - shorted the signal ground to the main ground wire, slightly reducing weight and complexity by only...

My Mini-Sportster Build Mods I’m relatively new to RC airplanes compared to many here, Flying just over a year and building about as long. About a dozen or so FT designs so far both scratch and speed build kits, plus a few modified planes based on FT design and one or two started with a...

I have recently modified my Supercub Lp to great success. I took the center dihedral section out of the wings, added ailerons (8” long with 2x HXT 9gr servo) and did a brushless conversion with a Turnigy Park 1020kv 480, HK 30A ESC, running off a 2200mah 3cell driving a Turnigy wooden 10x7 prop...

Hey, I had a 64mm edf laying around and wanted to make an airframe for it. so i used the plans for a blunt nose versawing and altered the wing pitch a few inches and this is what i came up with, flies great. wanted to share with all of you

Finished Guinea Pig but I added more candy bombing space per my kids request so the -500 series. I added 5 inches of cabin to allow a little more cargo capacity for other experiments. I also rigged the door to open and close and will add that to the pictures later. No gear saves weight and I...

I have a question: If I were to glue a piece of posterboard across the bottom of the wing to cover the cavity and create a flat surface, would that increase the lift of the airfoil? I thinking I would only install it to the part where the wing turns up. Im looking for more lift at lower...

Hey Guys, Before I start, this isn't really a scratch build but it's the only place I could think of to post this. So I picked up this little hand launch glider from my local hobby store when I was bored, and got the idea of converting it into a powered glider/plane. I have 2 Turnigy Park 300...

I got my package in today from helibatics.com, can't wait to install. One other thing I will need to do is to update my Taranis to ver 1.2. I hear that it's still in testing still so... more to come in the future. Update: 6-5-14 So I installed the Mod and installed v1.2 firmware. Haptic...

I stuck a camera in my FT22 and flew it around a bit today. It worked better than I thought it would, so I may revisit the project in the future. Of course, the canopy looms too large in the shot, so that'd have to be cut off which would probably detract from the look of the plane, but I...

Hi guys, this thread is suppose to be for the guys who like to moddify or customize their birds a little. Like putting in flaps, change the type or simply put a new trim scheme on their old planes...i hope it will be a place to exchange ideas and technical aspects of the whole...

Hey guys.. so i have my Turnigy 9x on the way and i have seen loads stuff on, like adding the frsky module and wot not.. well id rather like to run it off a Lipo but dont know wot size or how to do it.. wondering if any of u wiser or experienced guys could help me out with it.? Also.. a second...

Hi there Pilots, Im a big fan of Warbirds and i also like to mod my planes a little. Sometimes because there are to many planes of the same type at the field, and sometimes because its almost as much fun as flying the damn things. So i wanna encourage you guys to show us your planes, and tell us...
