fire

Hi all, I had a weird idea to make a plane that could drop fire retardant ( like baking soda) or water to put out small fires (not real fires just something like a few pieces of paper inside a trash can). I have thought of a couple of way to do this, one of them being to have a water bottle...

Hey everybody, Finally gotten a chance to get back to flying, been a busy spring and summer. I built the FT Cub and had some issues with the ESC. So I changed it out to an eMAX BLHeli 30A LiPo 2s - 4s ESC. The issues I had with my ESC went away when I changed it...or at least for a while...

Hello all, I recently built a twin edf engine plane. However, while running over the preflight checklist I did an engine check and my esc's both started smoking furiously. Both engines were the same, the were the 64mm EDF Viggen package from grayson hobby. Why did they catch fire? I was using...

Hey All, Love the videos and plans! Here is a sort-of mashup idea based on your videos about FPV flying food (blender, toaster) and FPV bomb dropping (glass-break, dartboard drop, guided bomb etc...) With fire season in full swing all over, how about an FPV RC fire bomber? Use a Krakken or...

Hello there, my challenge is for you to build a plane capable of flying and carrying a fully loaded fully functional fire extinguisher of some sort (loophole alert! :D) and operating it. Then, if you want, create a controlled bonfire, then, fly the plane and activate the fire extinguisher...
