Last week I Range Tested some new DIY Projects and couldn't be happier with the results, and surprisingly the footage!
1) A Helical Antenna literally made out of trash that works unbelievable.
2) A 2500Mah Li-Ion battery really improved flight time and range capabilities.

While this isn't exactly RC content, my soldering iron is a tool that I use very often within the hobby, and this caddy makes it much easier to transport when making trips to the field or to events.
This should be an interesting build off to see what is possible with foam board. Personally, I find 3d and XA to be very fun, but extremely expensive. Even a ~50" airframe can run you up to 200$- not including electronics. Wouldn't it be great if we could build our own airframes for less than...
Hey, guys, I've been out of the hobby for a while, and it's time to come back. This time I'm going to go for my first really scale looking project, or at least something close to it.
These are some images that I found on the internet of the plastic kits with a really amazing finish. Of course...
So I had an idea to take the hunter killer drone score streak from call of duty and turn it into a real life RC plane. I loved the design and I thought it would be a fun and challenging build for my first edf build.

Alright, I know that the title doesn't sum up my question very well, but it had to be short.
I want to design a custom quad frame, and I do have the necessary experience with CAD software (I'm using Altair Inspire, for anyone interested). I would like to know if anyone has or knows about some...
Hey everyone!
Hope you've been staying safe and healthy.
I've been designing a new foamie with swept wing and tail and am stuck on how to implement elevators with the swept tail. I can't really find any example and want to tie elevators to one servo...
