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...
I had the chance this past weekend to fly with my friend who is a skilled fixed wing designer and pilot. I discovered recently that one of the most enjoyable forms of FPV flying is chasing other aircraft around. One of the things we rarely do with FPV miniquads these days is fly to higher...
Maiden flight:
I've spent some time designing a wing that was really cheap to build, very strong, very stable and capable of flying slow, perfect for wing combat!. The motivation came from having a lot of friend transitioning from flying quads to wings, so they can do it pretty well, but they...
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...
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 :)
