    Glider Electronics

    I'm new-ish to RC planes. I'm looking at building a glider (either for tow-release or slope soaring) but when putting the electronics together, I realized that the receiver runs on 5V, and if I don't have a motor (or ESC) then I don't have a decent way to generate 5V to power my receiver. Is...

    Part List of all the FT Models with electronics required 25-12-2021

    When I started out with the FT builds I was missing a place where I can just look to see what electronics I need for the build and what builds can use the same electronics so I made this list which includes all the details that I could gather for every model FT ever put out. Hope I didn’t miss...

    Gremlin Idea, would like suggestions.

    If I did this right, there should be two pictures somewhere on this post. I would really like a miniquad that I could just (literally) throw into a car and fly, and that was reliable. I have access to a PCNC Milling Machine, and some common plastic used for it, i found out, is actually somewhat...

    Motor Stutter

    I'm running an emax rs2205 2600kv motor with a 40a ESC on a 3S lipo and 5x4 props, and I'm getting issues with the motor stuttering on low throttle. I tried a 12a and an 18a ESC and had the same issue. Is my battery too low voltage or is my ESC too low amperage for the rs2205?

    Outside the US us scratch builders have a very different foam board available. Among the differences is weight. Some have said it's as much as 30% heavier. My question is how can I compensate for the weight? I've built a Tiny Trainer and I know it will fly because if I throw it it has a lovely...
