    I have 4 1100kv motors, 3 8in. props. What should I build? (not a quad)

    I am looking for I ideas. I originally was building a quad, but it didn't work out. I need ideas! From anything to building a fan propelled rc car, to a cardboard rc plane. Any crazy idea will do! Thanks.

    Heinkel HE 51 Foamboard Plans

    So a while ago I decided to try and make some plans for a swappable, and I went with the Heinkel HE 51. Why an HE 51? Idunno, seemed like a good idea at the time. This is the first finished version, feel free to download and build the plans. If you encounter a problem building or flying it...

    Project TCOEB (This can only end badly)

    Hey all, Recently I decided to invest in getting the electronics to build a flitetest power pod, as it seems like a great idea for me, especially since I like to build my own things and explore all parts of the Hobby (I've only been flying for a few years, if that!) So, I am particularly...

    FT Duster Maiden Flight

    Hey guys, I just built my FT duster last weekend and figured I'd put together a video from the maiden flight. This is my first 4-channel plane and I was happy to not crash the first time out. The plane was underpowered because I still had the blue wonder motor installed but it was fun...

    Challenge: Ram a large plane out of the sky with small planes!

    I think that a cool challenge would be if one of you flew a large, delicate balsa wood plane while everyone else flew Piper Champs repeatedly ramming it with the intent to knock it out of the sky.

    ESC recommendations?

    Hey guys, does anyone have any good recommendations for 30 amp ESC that can take 2-3s lipos and that have a steady current. Also not too expensive. They really need to have a steady current because if they don't my servos twitch. Thanks

    X-19 Hummingbird Scratch Build

    Watching through some of the older episodes I found this - Is there scope for flitetest to have a build episode something along the same lines. Maybe even get Peter on board as a guest for the show.
