build log

Hello Flight Test Community, This is my first involvement with FliteTest Forums, but it seems like a great place for someone beginning in the hobby like me. I became interested in remote-controlled aircraft a few months back and spent my summer scratch-building an ultra-micro scale RC bush plane...

@AircPirateNinsei was really nice to create an amazing trainer like the Eazy, and so I decided that since my club members told me it was better to have a large plane as a trainer rather than a small one, at 40 inches, a large one, and so I am trying to put two engines on the eazy. I made it to...

Hi all, I lurk here a lot but have only posted a couple times. I've been flying off and on for years and am looking for a new thing to try. I've watched David Windestal's Flite Test DLG video way too much over the last few years and have done a lot of other research in the hopes to purchase...

Hi! As the title says, I'm going to build my first balsa kit, a 1200mm Piper Cub J3. It's definitely a bad choice for a first kit, since it's from Banggood, but I've read the instructions and I think it doesn't seem that hard. However, I can always ask you for help if I need it (I will). The...

see my article on both builds and after testing the model I have built to be the Bristol as a chuck glider, it glides great, if it was into the wind and out doors, I bet it would glide even better. So I know I will need to either rebuild it entirely or ask everyone who has followed my build...

Hey guys, I'm using this thread as a sort of build log for my next Arduino airplane. I've been working with UAV avionics as a hobbyist, intern, and university researcher for about 2 years now. This will be the first plane, though, that I will lay out exactly how all the systems come together...

Hy, I started to plan a sketch build plane, the WW2 japanese Ki-45 "Toryu". First, my question is, did anyone make a Ki-45 sketch build? If not, and you are interested, I will give it some more work to make a not too chaotic build log kind of thingie. Since I just started sketchbuilding (this...

So today I finally received my Blackout H-Quad in the mail. Yea!!!! Then I went through all of the smaller bag to check out all of the items and it was all there. I was missing my T-shirt so I'll have to contact Blackout about that. The awesomeness of having the quad blinded me to this until...

So I've been pulled in to attempt to build another quad (I actually have another ARF ordered but I expect it to take a while to be delivered...:confused:) and I decided to build hovership's Micro H Quad. Another 3D printed quad frame like my other SSHQuad but this one is fold-able. Size wise...
