airplane

Hello guys. I'm ocktiy, a RC vehicles enthusiast. I want to start building my first DIY airplane/drone/vtol. My requirements are: max wingspan 35-40 cm, total weight- about 300g, 4 engines(I want to be able to use it as a quad and as a plane). I'd like to use the N50 brushed motors. The design I...

Hi! Does anyone have know any good RC plane (beginner park flyer) motors that are around 1,000-1500kv and only need a 20 amp esc? I know Flite Test store has the Emax GT2215 1100kv motor and I thought about just getting that but then I think I'd need a 30 amp esc (Wich is perfectly okay but I'm...

I recently was at an auction and got this motor out of an old plane and I want to know what it is. Its not letting me upload the pictures directly so her is a link: http://imgur.com/a/gZ7N1

I really want a giant super sportster, but being a fourteen year old who can't get a job I can't afford it. I have a regular sized nitro airplane similar to the sportster, but i want a BIG one! Since I can't afford the Great Planes ARF model I'm going to design one to be built using dollar tree...

I know the guys are about the review the graupner HotTrigger but I wanted some input on what people think is the best 3D/sport plane. Some example of what I'm looking for...

I have been given a Velineon 3500 motor, which comes out of an R/C car. Is there any reason I cannot use this in an airplane? I hate to waste a good (free!) motor.

All are invited to Bayrc.net's first Bay Area fly in! I'm excited and it's coming up quick!. It's a day full of new faces, flying and fun. There will be several competitions through out the day as well as a BBQ and Raffle. Raffle prices include multirotor equipment form Quadrevo and...

Parked/Landed my FT Tiny Trainer high up in a pine tree this evening after work. Tromped around in the thicket of vines and smaller trees below breaking rotting limbs off to try and throw at my plane. I hit the plane a few times, but it didn't budge. Got all scraped up in the process. Then...

A challenge to the inventional person. A quad-copter and airplane hybrid. It has to land vertically and have four motors that are arranged in a configuration that is in a normal quad-copter frame. I would love to see this in a way for this idea to work. once creating the frame, then make it...

Way cool to see... may be this is my next RC project http://youtu.be/kzYb68qXpD0

Hello, I suggest you should build mini airsoft gun inside warbirds to have realistic dogfight. The small airsoft guns should be on the wings like real planes, such as supermarine spitfire.:D

I put my 64mm edf Dr. mad Thrust on my home made FT 22 Raptor with a 4 cell 2200 mah heres the Video sorry didnt have anybody to video it so had to just set the camera on the ground! flew great with no trim! :)

Video I recorded a while back. I saw he came in pretty hot and close to the fence, I wanted to see him taxi it back. I'm sure glad I did! Plane suffered absolutely no visible damage. Funny video

Hi, this is my first post on this website, so might I say that I absolutely love what FliteTest is doing for the RC community, and the content they bring to us. I wanted to ask if you had ever thought of doing an episode on the Plantraco micro kits, such as the Shoestring? I think this would be...

Not sure where else to put this, but i'm working on a project to use ReadyToFlyQuads.com multiwii boards for airplane mode. So far, testing is going well. I've tested stabilize mode and Horizon mode, both work very well. I've attached a couple pics of how it is working. Will also upload some...

Hey Flitetest friends! Here is my scratchbuilt quadcopter I call the "XMAX-401" or "The Pancake Quad"! Please tell me what you think and how I can improve it! Thanks! :) I switched the triangular landing gears into foam noodle landing gears to get softer landing!

Due to the entertaining nature of your well produced videos, I have suffered great physical abuse, overwork, and constant demands against my time and very limited resources. Most seriously, your group has endeavored not only to make instructional video fun and creative, but Flite Test further...

I turned the thread into an article.
