trainer

I really liked the idea of the high mount motor used by trainers like the Crash Test Hobbies Albatross. So I put one on a Tiny Trainer with glider nose. pointed slightly to the left. It balanced out ok on the plan CG with the battery and electronics as far forwards as possible. Will it...

OK I want another plane but I have some conditions it's gotta meet so I'm asking the most knowledgeable people I know, the FliteTest community. I'd like it to be a larger plane so it can handle mild to moderate wind/gusts without getting too squirrely and it has to be able to fly very slow...

This is a small overview and flight video of my scratch-built trainer. I may make kits if I get enough requests for them. I will also eventually post an FT Article about this plane. Stay tuned!

STEM students in the upper elementary and middle school grades are in need of a trainer which can handle a high-wind environment. This plane/design, if developed, will become a stable of a STEM initiative beginning on Oahu which will teach science, tech, engineering, and math through aviation...

This is a request for a new design/plane that can be used in schools: I have a STEM initiative starting up soon which will focus on aviation and aerial robotics. RC airplanes provide a great way to introduce these topics, and will be one of the first units covered. Students and their parents...

Hey guys.. I built a little trainer to get my family and friends into the hobby. I have helped build several nutballs for people and I am getting complaints that they are too (floppy). So I threw this together. Triangle fuse 23" with 30" under camber dihedral wing. coupled with a Hobbyking Donky...

Hey all, just a question from a noob, me and a mate bought electronics to build a couple of spitfires a while back...with no flying experience lets just say our beautifully made rc planes weren't looking so beautiful after there highly successfully maiden flights (about 10 feet) after some...

I have been building and designing for some small amount of time and I find myself quite fond of single boom pushers. I'm not sure why i like them protection for the prop and simple nose to repair on impact probably weigh in. the problem I've found is that the combination of t tail and tail boom...

I just got my first R/C plane recently(Dynam Smart Trainer), and it flies very nice and easy to control. I've been told that the plane wasn't a good choice, but for me it's easy to fly and that's good enough. Anyway with flying aside I would like to ask what extra battery I should buy that...

Hello Everyone, I have a 700KV motor that flies great with an 11" or a 10" prop. I tried this on the Swappables Nutball, and after I got control of it (barrel rolling from to much torque) it did fly great. The problem is I can't see that my 10 year old son could recover from the crazy results...

Last weekend I took my son out for his first real flying experience. I decided to use my Flyzone Micro Tiger Moth. Which is now a year old and well worn. James did very well but we did manage to break 3 props that day. No big deal but not a field friendly task. So I decided to modify our...

I built a Versa Wing and decided that I wanted something slower and more stable for helping others get started in RC. I had flown balsa trainers when I learned to fly 30 yrs ago and thought that might be a good way to go. Here is my Versa Wing and power pod. I then downloaded a profile view...

I like to build and fly! I wanted a little bit larger trainer plane. I also wanted to understand more about the design process of a plane and how much wing size to fuselage size to tail size to horizontal stabilizer size affected the plane and it's use /performance. I found some good information...

let me start out by saying I love flight. I have a computer setup for MS flight simulator that has taken years to put together. However it was missing something for me.I want that opportunity to fly around outdoors enjoy real weather and maybe when i am better join a flying club or something...

Just looking for some opinions, so feel free to chime in. I have very little experience with rc flight, had a Champ and a small 3ch indoor heli for a few months, and I have been looking for a slightly larger simple 3 channel plane that is a bit more durable than the Champ. I have a FT Flyer...

Easy Warbird Trainer - Build log So, this isn't really that mad of a scratch build, but this is probably the place for this: This is a FieldHawk, it is a balsa framed, foam board covered model. It isn't finished yet, but it should be soon. We probably don't need another warbird trainer these...

I bought this a while ago as a replacement airframe for my super Cub LP. http://robotbirds.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=29_32&products_id=5691 After finding it the other day I was going to sell it, but I used an RC sim to remind me of how much fun the Super Cub was and want one all over...

I am not sure if this is the best place to request this, but I was wondering if there was any plans to make a pusher trainer swappable. I have built the Nutball, Flyer and Old Fogey, but really love pushers for their slow easy flying. Let me know! I look forward to more scratch building! NateO

Got this the other day and wanted to play with my Gopro so here is whta i came up with. good news is it will only take up about 20 seconds of your time and you wont have to wonder what to do for that whole time :)
