😂😂🤭
thats the plan, get as close as possible to a kit plane with 6mm depron and 3D printed parts
not to mention a clear canopy makes a world of difference 🥰

hey guys i have a question could a 2212 1400kv motor work on a ft mini plane.... scout... corsair...biplane... etc...
our f power pack motor hasn't arrived and we can't find a well priced one again...
but we can get b power pack really well priced..... would this be possible?
i think we would run it on 3s..... 1500mah or 1100mah

you can, but 2212 can be overkill.careful with throttle

absolutely... great news for me i can get b power pack excluding servos for $13

Whatever prop you run on it and if it is to much you can always go down in prop size and pitch.

either standard 8060 or 6030 or 4.25x6.25.... yea i know the last size is an odd size

Hey quick question: is there a way to combine pdfs into one pdf without paying for an adobe program? The free one wont let me. Id like to share my plans but its 10 pdfs right now. Im using inkscape if that matters.

just go online and search combinepdf. works like magic

Almost starting to look like an extremely boxy, really rough around the edges F-5. I'm certain it'll look more believable when fully assembled.
Hey whoever heard of a jet fighter with undercambered wings?!
Me. I invented it. I hope it works out. At this point for me I'm not interested in bitchin high speed maneuvers, just a good flying experience. Maybe start to high-alpha. And I bet it'll still be fast (for me) when I want.

Any advice, suggestions, concerns, criticisms are welcome.

 

[Scooter The White Rabbit]

could anyone plaese supply some guidelines. I would LOVE and even NEED to finish this project by friday at the end of the day.
btw it is mm, adn this is all I have for making it. PLEASE ANYONE HELP!!

I'd follow directions like the FT Simple Storch. Close in type.

So I've a question for those more experienced that I. I'm working on a BF109 with a 46" wing span, expecting to weigh in somewhere around the 600g range without the battery. Spinning a 2216 1120kV running 3S and probably a 10x5 prop. I've got a power meter to test with, but I'm curious about cooling. I was thinking to put the ESC under the power pod but I may have a challenge with a good cooling air path. Should I be really concerned with a good airpath? I was actually thinking (to be goofy) of using the cowl scoop as the inlet and the wing radiators as the outlet... (again, just to be goofy...) Anyone have thoughts of an amount of cooling? Thanks in advance!!

10 X 5 3 blade? Cool that motor and ESC. That's what everyone tells me. Opening the cowl vents and radiator exhaust... go for it! Also look for spots to hide NACA inlets. They don't have to be big to drive in plenty of air.

Not my best work but, certainly not the worst I've done. I'm really not looking forward to the nose and canopy although, I think I have a canopy from a wrecked arf that I can retrofit.

I'm still not sure what battery I'm going to use but I've narrowed it down to these three batteries. My plan is to use the 3.6 for 3d, the 4.0 for sport, and the 3.3 for something in between.

Here are my mistakes so far!

Thanks. I dont know why i was trying so hard to do that offline for such a small file size.

I'd go for the 3.3 for 3D flying. Technically it should be lighter and it has a higher C rating.
