Hi... I crashed my apprentice the other day and had to replace the firewall, motor shaft, prop adapter, and cowl. After fixing everything, i went to power it on and test it all. When i move up the throttle the entire plane shakes rapidly. The propeller is in great shape and the motor seems...

Hey everyone! I’m new here and excited to join the Flite Test community. I’ve been interested in RC planes and DIY aircraft projects for a while, and I’m looking forward to learning more from experienced members here. I enjoy reading build guides, watching flight videos, and learning about...

Exactly what the title said. 100 rates, 55 expo on all surfaces. How can i make it fly better?

Hey guys, First post here. I'm "New" in the DIY part of the hobby, i mean, i have a degree in electronics and a background in "Full Scale aviation", Just so I have a rough idea of what I can and can’t do before things go sideways. I've already made a FT-EZ Glider to test my Glue Gun skills and i...

Hello, Ive been looking into a lot of different scratch built UAV designs lately and I'm very interesting in building my own. My guinea pig is great but its not exactly known for its battery life. Right now, I'm looking for the best place to buy large foamboard sheets in the UK that will suit...

Hello guys I just picked up the thought of a simple, no airfoil wing plane and what came to me was the Ft mini f22. I have a few questions, consisiting of electronics and flight stability. 1) would it be way too fast with 2204 2400kv and 6 inch prop on a 20amp ESC at 3S? 2) would it be kinda...

Coming back to the hobby. Have several hours on a sim, looking to finally pull the trigger and build a FT plan. I know I want to get a bundle, so that is why I'm looking at these three. I also know I want a 4 channel. I was getting into the hobby years ago and was learning on a 4 channel, so...

Hey there Flite fans, I was wondering about if there was anyone in the us near my region Bracknell RG42 that are willing to guide me through stuff like finding local clubs, buying stuff or even a meet up. Thanks, Steve.

I'm currently wanting to design a Master Series style plane, and I need some ideas as far as which one to design. Any suggestions Welcome!

Help! I have a NewBeeDrone Hummingbird F4 V3 bnf drone and I am having a major problem. The drone does not turn on when I put the battery in, but turns on when I plug it into the usb port. Additionally when I am connected to betaflight via usb and I plug in the battery it registers the voltage...

This is my first build and I need help binding pocket radio master to r88. I have a model set up on the radio master, but I don’t know we’re to go from there. I have looked for videos on the subject but there are all about drones. If anyone have any information or tips please send them to me.

I want to build a Nano Flerken but I only have 2205 motors, could it work? I have some small 3in props that I could use. And if not how many sheets of foam dose the millennium Flerken need? Thanks in advance for the replies:)

I’ve got a big outrunner, Looking for an insane amount of speed, any help is appreciated!

So I built a Bushwacker yesterday, when I plug in my battery everything works but sometimes when I plug it in the elevator dose not move. And when it dose move the elevator jiggles (just dose a super fast little movement) randomly. I tried turning my TX on after I plugged the battery but it dose...

I'm making this Lancaster for FF25 but having trouble with exporting curved surfaces into 2d CAD, do any of you know a method to do this? I don't know if its relevant but this was designed in metric units (millimetres). Also I need to custom design firewalls for power pack C, is there anywhere I...

I scratch build a Tiny Trainer and used the Power Pack A. I checked CG and thought it was ok. Here's what happened: Two complete nosedives. Any ideas? The CG was fine, I don't think that's the issue. Perhaps wond but it was light today and the same thing happened both times.

I’m looking to get the new 6S Freewing F22 but it has a 7A UBEC, I have a FSI6X and another receiver that is dsmx/dsm2 compatible but the FSIA6B and 10B that I have are only good for 2A so I can’t use those. I’ve looked online and found a few spektrum ones (although very steeply priced) and...

I Have the FT power Pack A running on the mighty mini p51 running on a 3s 850mah, It was flying great until the motor stopped mid-flight about 4-5 minutes in on about 60% throttle. I was able to land it and immediately I realized the motor was smoking, I immediately unplugged the battery and...

Just as the title states I've got a 25cc from a leaf blower and want to put it on an rc airplane. Hoping to use around a 22x10 propeller. Any ideas are helpful! Man.
