trainer

Hi all! Thought I would share my recently completed build of a 3 channel modification based on the FT Simple Storch - this one has come about due to the need of something nice and simple to introduce my 10 year old nephew to the art of aeromodelling. The general goal here was a simple three...

So my friend and I flew his Horizon Hobby sport cub S late last summer, and he nose dived, and wrecked it. The foam in the front came off, and the tail got completely ripped off. So today I finally came around to fix it, I fixed the tail, only to find i had another problem, the throttle wouldnt...

Hello! I have just recalculated my trainer and it will be 900 grams. To be safe, the wings will be 175 dm^2. I want to have an aspect ratio of ten, so 10x^2 will equal 131.25 dm^2. When I do the math, the wings are ridiculously large for no reason. How do you calculate the wing sizes from a base...

Hello! I am trying to design my first aircraft, and I am having problems with using the wing loading. I have decided that the plane will be 1600 grams and have a wing area of 300 dm^2. The wings will have 225 dm^2 with an aspect ratio of ten. ________________________________...

Introduction About a year and a half ago I designed my first RC aircraft. A smaller high wing with a 28 inch wingspan. It was built with the intention to be a slower flying and stable trainer capable of most acrobatics. That was easily constructed with a minimum of foam board and 3D printed...

This plane was the second balsa airframe to carry the electronics from the FT Tiny Trainer. The goal was a comparable flight regime with landing capability. Fuse is box construction. The angled air scoop is of low efficiency, but adds structural rigidity for the castoring nosewheel which...

Hi, i am pretty new to RC flight. I never build ore flew one. Now i am a early retirement guy in his early 40th. And i struggle to get rid of the morning time. I need a Hobby ;) So i ordered a tiny trainer and hot glue gun on Saturday. I cant spend much money so i bought a used Devo 7. I...

Hi all, I created a new thread to ask these questions because I didn't find anything applicable through searching the forum so please share links to the appropriate threads if anybody knows of one. My first question is does anybody think I could modify the trainer wing (with up turned winglets)...

FT Simple Cub Description: Thank you for choosing the FT Simple Cub as your next FT project. Our passion at FliteTest is to introduce this great hobby to as many people as possible. It is also to make that journey as fun as possible. This design focuses on both of these goals more than...

Hi everyone, recently got into the hobby thanks to Flite Test and enjoy flying the TT at the park. But being the first of friends and family in the hobby, I am looking to join a MAAC club and learn properly with some help. I know this question gets asked fairly often, but was looking for a more...

I'm returning to flying after a 6 year break and I was not that good before hand so as you can imagine I was not that confident, so I thought I would build the trainer great fun as I've never built like this before. As anyone in the UK knows we don't have Adams foamboard here so I used west's...

My 15 year old son has been working on a Mini Telemaster for his first balsa build. He has been doing all of the work with a little help in interpenetrating the instructions(text only, no pictures). It started out a little rough with two left fuselage sides, but after that everything has gone...

Taranis Wireless Trainer Link DSM2 Hardware http://rcdiy.ca/wireless-buddy-link-dsm2/ I have posted my wireless trainer link Tx modification. This uses a DSM2 CPPM micro receiver installed in the module bay at the same time as my DSMX/DSM2 Tx module. OpenTx Wireless Trainer Link Settings...

Anyone have any experience with auto balancing gyros for airplanes? Can't find any good reviews for the NX3 EVO or the Hobby Eagle A3 6-axis. Wanting a gyro like the Hobby Zone safe system to use in my trainer.

Give us a box and a plane it shall be! Modeled after our rubber band powered plane.

Hi all! For a few weeks i'm watching FT youtube video's now. I'am an aviation enthousiast with not so much experience. I inherited this passion from my granddad who is not among us for many years now. Some years ago I started with a mini Mosquito RC helicopter. After a few years and some...

This thread is for sharing progress, comments and suggestions on building Stout Trainer. I posted an article on the design on 11-08-15. This design is a 60" span high wing medium to advanced aerobatic trainer. It looks like this: I have received comments from a couple of members who are...

Hey guys, Here's a little tribute for my favorite trainer, I hope you enjoy:
