I recently built a flying wing that uses elevons. I'm trying to program my DXs transmitter to work with this. In the elevon modes, though, the right stick is controlling pitch, and the left is controlling roll. I would like to switch the roll so that both pitch and roll are controlled by the...
Finally got around to posting this, I didn't like the look of the undercambered wing tips, or the sharp edges on the airfoil so, I redesigned it to my liking. Not only does it look better but, it is much stronger. And possibly faster too.

Hey everyone, I am just about to scratch build an FT Sportster. This will be my first mid/low fixed wing through the fuselage. Unfortunately, crashes happen and previously (on the FT Bushwacker) I could easily repair/rebuild/store the wing and fuselage separately.
Just wondering how feasible it...
Russian design idea by eccentric the Moskaliov.
A Soviet Union aircraft planned in the 1950s that could fly at Mach 4, almost becoming the first hypersonic manned jet, sadly (?) didn’t even get off the drawing board.
Moskaliov explored combining ramjets and, after burning six turbojet engines...
Sharing my first 3D printed design after hundreds of hours figuring out Fusion360. This is geared to LW-PLA and an F-Pack motor. Printed predominately in vase mode with very few retractions to ensure clean printing. My goal was a simple toss and go wing, easy to hand launch and fun to fly...
A longer sport wing with flaps. Gives a very gentle flight and great glide while keeping the ailerons. Built for a 3 to 5 degree dihedral and should have a reinforcing spar where the wings join.
I was surprised at how well(..ish) the first Cheap Flying Wing turned out, but wanted to fix the tail-heavy issues. This version addresses that.
Here's a video of the second version:

This is the Dominator, a simple build aimed to be a direct competitor to the FT Arrow, but easier to build. The KFm wing is very easy to assemble and the airframe is extremely tough, meaning it's a good plane for a beginner, or just a good first wing. It will fly on the A/F pack or equivalent...
I have always wanted effective yaw for flying wing type design, but all of the "traditional" ways of handling this axis have major drawbacks. Drag Rudders are complicated, Differential Thrust is (IMO) crude and inelegant, Rudders don't have an effective moment. I began looking at flying wing...
Hi! I am thinking about trying a project to fly my rc car. I have a power pack C for propulsion and was planning on building the airframe around the rc car so that I could still drive. The car weighs a little less than 6 lbs, and I think the power pack C weights a little over a pound. I think it...
I recently purchased the FT Spear -a pusher configuration wing-, and for some reason, I have not been able to make the elevons work. My remote, a Spektrum DX6 should be able to handle wings, and I have tried 2 different receivers, both also made by Spektrum. However, both times, my elevator...
So a while ago I built a 120% mini arrow, which is fairly close in size to the FT Spear. It's a great flying plane but as arrow owners would understand, there isn't a lot of strength in the pod keeping the two wing halves supported, and they tend to get a spongy feeling. I crashed recently and...
Hi, im building a 2,6 meter scale glider pretty heavy. The wings will be cut out off styrofoam and covered with fiberglass.
Its my first time cutting wing, and trying to fly a rc plane.
It should be a pretty thick airfoil because i have to fit a 10 mm carbon rod inside. and the cord is about 15...
YOU NEED TO BUILD THIS FLYING WING:
This project is a Great Flyer, Quick Build and only 2 sheet!
This Project was inspired by the '20 Flite Test Forum Challenge (FTFC20). Since I have seen the model on Fidder's green, I thought the Burgess-Dunne Flying wing from 1914 is a perfect candidate for...
Hey all,
I'm having a little trouble binding my rx and tx. If i could get someone's input, that'd be great.
Plane: Eflite Opterra 1.2 BNF fpv
Tx: Spektrum DX6e
Rx: Spektrum A3235
What I did (Plane):
Plugged in Lipo
Put Rx in Binding mode
Flashy lights came on indicating that it was in bind...
