Hey guys, i made a simple glider that has a 1200mm wing span, 840mm length and weighs in around at 800-900 grams with all the electronics including the battery. the shape and design is a mix of the FT explorer and FT simple storch. I currently have a 40a ESC and a 2212 2200kv motor and do not...
This started as a Sig Riser kit, and well you can see that never happened. 6 panel wing, Paragon inspired fuselage, and AG37 airfoil. Receiver ready LPU only. Can meet in the Pittsburgh area. Thanks for looking!
I am building a DIY rc plane out of a foam glider and I want to know if all of these parts will fit together and if my battery is small enough. I want to have a longer flight time but obviously want the plane to fly as well. Let me know what you guys think!
Started (almost finished) this CAD model of a balsa Motorglider with 3D printed PLA wingribs & Fuselage.
It'll be very fun and interesting to combine new & old techniques.
Wingspan: 2300mm (90.55")
Length: 1365mm (53.74")
Motor: Aerostar 800kv
ESC: Aerostar 60amp
Battery: 2200mAH 4s

A longer sport wing with flaps. Gives a very gentle flight and great glide while keeping the ailerons. Built for a 3 to 5 degree dihedral and should have a reinforcing spar where the wings join.
Inspired by the Backyard Scientist’s potato launcher glider, I’m working on writing up a project guide for my nephews (whom are only 8 and 9 years old) so that we can make a glider ourselves. I will be tasking them to do some basic research for glider designs, and want them to learn as much as...
TLDR: powered glider keeps rolling either way and can't be trimmed out
BACKGROUND: Hi, been a long time since I've been in here but I have a rolling issue with my latest build, a twin boom sailplane. The plane has an upscaled tiny trainer wing (lengthened and flaps installed as well) and has a...
