power pod

Hello! New to the forums, asking for advice: I've built my first FT swappable, a Versa Wing. One side's a bit off from the other, but not too bad. I'm waiting on Flite Test parts for my power pod to build it. Using some online calculators and some educated guesswork, I ordered the following...

Hi Guys, Just had a question, Can I use a park 450 motor, 25AMP ESC and 3cell 1300MAH battery in the swappable power pod. I wanna use the the power pod for FT flyer and Old Fogey. (will it be too heavy) Just starting out so forgive me if that's a dumb question :confused: Sid

So I have built a Flyer already, have another sheet of foam board laying around thinking of building scaled down Fogey or Speedster, or Delta Wing this week end. I am trying to plan out power package and am running into difficulties choosing a motor. All set ups would use Plush 12A speed...

I just built the FT Flyer last night (went really well for first scratch build although time consuming) and now I'm figuring out the electronics/power package. I do plan to eventually build the Cruiser and warbirds when my skill level of flying is to that level. The FT crew recommends roughly a...

Hi all, I am new to scratchbuilding and have an issue that has perplexed me. I can't seem to grasp how the power pod is supposed to slide in and be secured in the slots in the foam board AND onto the skewer dowels in the front at the same time. I built the FT Mustang and really struggled when...

I was looking through the Power Pod builds and could have sworn I saw one for a Messerschmitt. Somehow I managed to close the page. Now I look back and cannot find the plans. Now I am not positive that I saw what I thought I saw. Can somebody help me out and show me where it is or refocus my...

Hey guys, first post, love this stuff, I have a little heli but my passion was always for planes - and now I can afford it. I'm all ready to crash my first 4 dollar foam plane! woo hoo! not even gonna paint it 😜 So that brings me to the swappable. At first I thought there was this...

I'm looking into building a SPAD plane for my Ryobi 31cc conversion and this brought up the use of the Coroplast building material. For those of you that don't know what that is it's basically 4mm thick corrugated plastic. Anyways, has anyone used this to make their powerpods? I seems to...

I want to build the old speedster and went to laser toys to buy a Powerpod kit. There is not one listed yet. I need to know what to buy that will make a good slow flyer? Any help would be great. Dave

I love the new swappable wing that Josh designed. In fact I like it so much that I want to get into fpv, but I don't want to mess with all my electronics and other stuff. They said on the review of the wing that mounting the pod on the bottom would not be a good idea, so I thought "why not just...
