I'm new to the whole "building planes" thing and was looking at the FT Mighty Mini F-22 Raptor. Power Pack F is not in stock at the moment, and I wanted to know, are there any alternatives to the Power Packs themselves, maybe on Amazon or BangGood? I also saw Power Pack A, what's the main...
Hi Guys,
First time building Flite Test Speed build kits. Also first time dabbling in RC flight. I bought a Mighty Mini Corsair and a power pack A, as I was led to believe this could be a good beginner, particularly with an aura 5 board in it. So that's what I went for. Only now that I have...
Hi Guys,
I'm going to try and build the edge 540 scaled down to fit the power pack A. Does anybody know what scale it should be or the span? I don't mind if it is a bit slower. Also the battery is 800 mah 2s.
Thanks
So I built an ft mini mustang and the motor got closes to 100 degrees when I checked it. I am using the power pack a with the Radial 1806 2280kV motor.
I am also using a 3s 800mah lipo.
Any ideas on why it's getting so hot and how to fix it?
I'd like to build the FT Flyer, and I have enough parts to build a 3ch mini-sized plane. I'd rather use the stuff I've already got than order a power pack B. (and if I do get one, it'll probably end up in an FT Explorer...) Anyway, I'm planning on scaling down the FT Flyer plans to fit my A pack...
Yesterday I started working on a new plane! I've had a half-finished balsa kit of the Baby Hornet lying around for years, and for complicated reasons [bad workmanship] it will probably never fly. Besides, it's a free flight model.
Here's the link to the original kit: (I got it before it was...
Hey folks!
I'm planning a RC conversion of a 30" Gee Bee Model E by Dumas. It's been done before but with some out-of-date HobbyKing gear. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3043706-Dumas-30-Gee-Bee-Model-E-Rubber-to-Electric-Conversion/page2
I figured I'd try a Power Pack A...
I got the tiny trainer speed build kit last week. I got everything from the FT starter bundle (So I'm using the Power Pack A, a Tattu 2 cell battery, and the Spektrum DXe Transmitter).
Every time I move the throttle a little the ESC beeps at me and the motor jitters a bit. I believe that I...

Here I present you the little brother of Argus, the Mini Argus (prototype) with only 650 mm (25.59 in) wingspan.
You will only need one sheet Flite Test Water-Resistant Foam Board By Adams (20 x 30 in) and a Flite Test Power Pack A (or compatible electronics) for the build. Since I only have...
FT Commuter

Description:
The FT Commuter is a community design by fellow Flite Tester Ben Harber. It is an intermediate build and flies as you would expect a small trainer. It can be set up as a bank and yank with aileron and elevator control or...
The White Diamond was originally designed in my head over a work lunch, and stemmed from a desire to build a small, fast plane using only one sheet of foam board in the minimum amount of time possible. Influenced by my love for sleek stealth aircraft, this plane takes a unique approach to single...

The Flite Test LongEZ is a great "bank and yank" semi scale DIY electric airplane kit. Simplicity was the theme of this design and our hopes are that it can be built and flying in no time! One motor, an ESC, and two servos...

These are used, tested, sets of Power pack A motor/esc. what you see is what will be included. I have 6 sets available.
Each set will include 1 motor (MT1806), 1 esc (12a), and 4 props that coordinate with the direction of the motor. Addl props sets (2cw,2ccw) available as well.
Please...
I recently assembled the power pod for a Tiny Trainer. Some of the instructions weren't clear and I had tried to attach it using four screws instead of the two it showed in the video which didn't work. I also used the medium sized screws rather than the smallest ones that came with the motor...
I like to look a anime planes for design inspirations as I try to dream up new things to build from foam. I think I like the "will it float" style challenges for airplanes. Ali poked around here and found something on devion2112's page. He had a build photo or two and a posting of the plan in...
Just got Power Pack A with a speed build kit and am trying to figure out how to attach the ESC to my receiver and get the benefit of the ESC's BEC. The BL Heli 30A has one lead for the receiver, but the TR624 receiver has a battery input and a separate channel 1 output. Anyone else have this...
I really wanted to build a Mini Arrow as my first RC plane, especially after Josh and Josh said wings were good for noobs in the Beginner Series videos, so I bought a Power Pack A and started cutting foam... But now reading on here I'm getting scared out of it!
I'm thinking I might want to try...
