wing

I am interested in making a version of either the blunt nose versa or the spear that has 3d printed pieces to allow for wing removal. I am in the beginning stages of brainstorming this and am looking for input. Something like the Parrot Disco would be nice (as I imagine some cross spars/rods...

Hey guys just finished this custom wing what do you guys think? Tx for scale 153cm wing span

Hello guys, big question and asking for help over here... I manage to build the pizza box fliying wing from Josh video... But it won't fly... First I build a medium size and not luck at all... Then I tried again with smaller size and nothing... When I launch it, goes straight to the...

Hi it's nearly midnight and I have just cut my first foam wing for more that 30 years. New project will look something like this: So far I have just cut the left wing: I will be interested to see how it glides when the parts are cut before adding a motor etc. MH45 with a 57" wingspan by...

Hi, I last helped build an RC plane >30 years ago and also did a few free flight balsa/tissue jobs plus some control line planes. Fast Forward a few decades: I am interested in doing some ecological work and am looking to start cheap while I learn. I can design and build a foam wing plane...

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...

Hi, My name is Anshu Raj. I'm from india. I have just started with RC hobby airplanes. As my starting model RC plane I have decided to build Flite Test Versa Wing. But, due to a lot of reasons I am unable to build the exact Wing.(Size wise) So, I have reduced the size of the Versa wing plans...

These are the dimensions of the CO7 FlyingWing glider that I used to scratch build my very first balsa plane, the plans are found here: http://www.aerodesign.de/modelle/NF/co7_hlg.htm If you have any questions about this model or want help to build one yourself, hit me up! :D The airfoil was...

Hello all, first post here. Been looking around a lot and would like to do a scratch build of the FT Spear. Question: I have a Emax 1470kv motor and some 8X4 props. Can these be used with the Spear? Thanks for any feedback or opinions. Hope to most more around here as I get some projects going.

Budget-scratchbuilt a wing WITHOUT prior RC build experience! Hello folks! I'm glad to let you all know I have this lovely project in the making. Now you'll be wondering why I picked this title, but I'm serious when I said I don't have any experience in physical RC aircraft building. I always...

We have had lots of fun building this little Micro FPV49 inspired wing. A Series of 6+ Videos showing, what it is capable of :) AUW is about 350g including FPV, Action cam, Lipo and all the other electronics Ah, and there are english subtitles for the german parts spoken in Episode one :)

I am wondering the best way to get the CG on a delta wing or any swept back flying wing? I know how to get the CG on a straight wing, trainer etc. On a straight wing I usually go one third of the cord from the leading edge and that seems to work fine. Would I do the same with a delta wing...

I'm about to buy a hobbyking bonsai wing and want to make it FPV, however I'm not sure how to hook up the FPV equipment. I will be using the Eachine 1000TVL camera and the Eachine tx526 transmitter however I don't know where to plug these into power. I have heard you need a step down converter...

Hi all, I was considering building an ultra micro flying wing and had a few questions. First off, how do you get an ESC that is not built into the receiver and does not cost 60$ like the one from HH. Second question, I saw that all the UMX motor use gearboxes, is this necessary? does it effect...

This was my first foamboard FT build (I have an electrohub copter awaiting completion), and so my technique isn't as polished as J. Bixler, but I managed to get it built, in only twice the estimated time! :) I took her out on her maiden today, still need a little tuning. I set my rate a bit low...

I am proposing a college project to build a flying wing from foamboard that will carry solar cells and possibly supercapacitors to augment the use of a smaller flight battery. Initial ideas are based on this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMkPjBf6dNQ Even though this wing flies well, I...

Hello guys, im new and just want to know if versa wing would fly with this motor. DYS BX1306 2300kv. Thanks

I have always been fascinated Hayao Miyazaki, whose love and fascination with flight and flying show through in his many inspiring works. I've been interested in building a flying platform similar to dragonfly or this Dragonfly-winged chariot-style craft. With research it seem possible. Someone...

Hey guys, I've been watching Flite test for a long long time now and have ALWAYS wanted to try design one of my own planes out of the materials they use. I've come up with this: This is called the CV-18 and is my first original design. It is meant to be the platform to get me into FPV...
