ft explorer

For reasons of payload space, I'd like to build an airframe for a budget slow-flying UAV that is essentially the FT Explorer, only scaled up by 1.5 (roughly six foot wingspan, using the polyhedral wing design). I have an ample supply of foamboard, but the wing construction would have to be...

Hi folks new pilot. I built the FT Explorer and quickly learned about the engine alignment thing but I'm still having a heck of a time getting it into the air. After fixing the motor so it's correctly aligned with the path of the thrust being parallel to the body, I had about one good half assed...

Hello All, I just finish building my new FT Explorer, and I am planning to fly it next weekend. My FT Explorer has a Power Pack C witch includes: (1) Motor - Emaxx GT2215/09 (1) ESC - BL Heli 30 amp ESC (6) Servos - 9 Gram Emaxx servo I would like to know if I can fly this plane with a Titan...

I would like to reinforce my FT Explorer wings any suggestion? Thanks...!!!

Hello all, I just finished building my FT Explorer and I would like to know the best settings for dual rates and expos. Thanks in advance for your help...!!!

After some looking for FT planes to build, decided to build a FT Explorer, but considered builing in a smaller size, for example 60%. My question: will it fly with the Power Pack A? Would be awesome if it could.

Hey everyone, I'm posting mainly about some of my adventures with the FT explorer and some stuff that I am doing/want to do, that y'all may find useful. I've been somewhat enamored with RC flight for a little while now and recently got off the ground with an FT explorer that I decided to build...

Has anyone built and flown an FT Explorer and used a traditional swappable power pod in it to fly it as a tractor and not a pusher?

I have been playing around with model aircraft of various types for a while and decided I wanted to build either the FT Explorer or Bronco. The catch is I am in Australia and getting stock of foam board isn't the easiest as I have come to realise after visiting a number of hobby stores and...

I'm building three FT Explorers with friends presently. I saw one video of the wings folding and another post referencing that. I've got some carbon tubes and was thinking of trying to mount internal to the wing but given the dihedral they will have to be cut in the middle so I'm questioning...

I am absolutely in love with the new style plans. Clean, easy to piece together, part names with model they go on, etc. The issue that i have a question on is the New FT Explorer plans only contain one half of each wing type. I only have a Mac and Linux computers and am unable to figure out...
