arrow

I learned recently from @FoamyDM about a NASA test project called PRANDTL-D. He built his own version of the prototype and posted plans here: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/prandtl-d-foam-board-wing-by-foamydm.58170/ This morning I began building my own wing from @FoamyDM 's...

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...

Hi guys, I just finished my most recent version of the FT Arrow and wanted to know what you guys think. The last one I made had an expanded electronics pod but it eventually failed structurally due to the lack of spar continuity through the middle. This one addresses that problem by including a...

Hi All- I'm struggling to find what batteries will fit in the FT Mighty Mini Arrow (without modification). I see they sell a Hyperion 850mAh 3s 20c Lipo with the kit, but they're out of stock on those. I noticed they have an 800mah 3s lipo in stock, which has the dimensions of 55x30x21mm...

Felt obligated to share this crazy thing my roommate recently made. With 2400kv 1808s set up on reversing afro 30 amps this thing is able to rotate about its yaw axis at about 400RPM. I don't think there has ever been any FT arrow able to do this. When parallel to the horizon, it is almost...

Hello all. A couple quick questions from a scratch build beginner. I am building the mini arrow. Running the f pack. I use a Spektrum DX6 transmitter. I'm going to scavenge some parts from a wrecked FPV quad I have. Here is my questions, 1. Will the runcam owl fit into the nose of the mini...

Hi there. I am a newbie trying to build a Mighty Mini Arrow (photo attached). I have finished the body of the plane and now I am waiting on my "F Power Pack" that I ordered to arrive. The Flitetest store is currently out of the 3 cell xt-30 connector batteries that it recommendations using in...

Making my entrance into fixed-wing with some plans, some foam, a beer and a Flitetest video! I'm being a little bold with an Arrow, but I'm really excited about it and hoping my few months of 'copter experience will give me a walking-start! Wish me luck!

I am planning on building the mighty mini arrow (I will buy the speed build kit) very soon and I am wondering if I need to buy a receiver separately from the arrow. If so, could somebody please give me a link to a recommended receiver (I already have a orangerx dsm2 transmitter)?

today I maidened my FT arrow. (SPOILERS: I'm gonna have to rebuild it) and while walking out to the field, the whole time I was talking myself through how I would do a thorough pre-flight. I look at it and everything held well. this was going to be my first FPV experience, too, so add another 80...

Hello everyone, I stumbled across the Flite Test YouTube videos and was blown away by the idea of building a flying airplane out of economical foam-core! I immediately went out and bought boards from Hobby Lobby and built a FT Might Mini Arrow. Then this weekend I finally had a chance to...

Thank You Josh for this amazing plane! This is going to be big!! Absolutely the most fun I have had with a plane. Here we are at Cesar Chavez park Berkeley with some of the best pilots! Thanks again FT team and everyone else here!

I Really wanted a Scale-ish archer, that has the looks, a roomy battery compartment, strength, and can run off my Blue wonder motor. after following some Sketchup tutorials, I got building on Sketchup. I laid out the plans, and built. It looked pretty good, and easy. ok, now to lay it flat. Let...

I have been toiling over a plan in my head to build my own Corsair plane. Now I know there are lots of plans out there and even a swappable design for the Corsair, which I down loaded and have printed out! I just wanted to try my own design at it and make it inexpensive. So here is the progress...

How does flex in arms effect multi-rotors? I was thinking of using carbon arrow shafts to build a tri. But now that I have the arms mounted to the frame I see that the arrow shafts flex slightly. I was thinking that maybe this will help reduce vibrations to the frame / cam? Or will this just...
