FT Flyer - Scratch Build

[Kurt0326]

So what is the biggest motor anyone has tried on this plane? I'm thinking of going crazy and trying a Suppo 2217/7.

First build using Ross Foamboard. Very nice having easily paintable foam. Should make for a cool Christmas gift.

MUIIIITO BOM! ESTOU ME DELICIANDO AQUI NO RIO DE JANEIRO COM O FLYER E O NUTBALL , CHAMAM A A TENÇÃO E TEM VOOS ÓTIMOS. SÃO AEROMODELOS PARA UM VÕO DESCONTRAÍDO PARA BRINCAR, POIS TEM EXCELENTE PLANEIO E VÕO LENTO QUANDO NECESSÁRIO. BRINQUEI A MAIOR PARTE COM MEIO ACELERADOR OU MENOS E COM VENTO DE MÉDIO PARA FORTE E SE COMPORTARAM MUITÍSSIMO BEM! OS PONTOS FRACOS SÃO O TREM DE POUSO E RODAS FRACOS QUEBRANDO A HÉLICE NOS POUSOS RESOLVIDO COM ARAME MAIS GROSSO E SE ERRAR A ENTELAGEM TIRA PEDAÇO DA SUPERFÍCIE, MAIS NADA QUE PREOCUPE!
OS KIT SÃO COMPLETOS, MENOS ELETRÔNICA, É O QUE ELES MOSTRAM 100% VERDADE!
SÃO MUITO DIFERENTES E CHAMAM A ATENÇÃO POR ONDE PASSAM, APELIDARAM O MEU NUTBALL DE PIZZA! View attachment 33437 View attachment 33438

I am learning with af FT-Flyer. I'm getting better. I set it up with the rudder on the left stick to get used to using it. I'm getting ready to start working with ailerons. I think I can convert the Ft-Flyer to a 4 channel. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any tips they would like to share?

A number of people have added ailerons and I think there is an article on it.

Does anyone have plans with measurements?

 

[Craftydan]

Henry,

Plans are a PDF attached to the first post in this thread (just above the screen-caps of the video). It doesn't have dimensions, but it is in full scale, so you can use your PDF reader to measure any dimension you like.

 

[Henry]

I have the plans. I was hoping someone had a version with the dimensions. I'll use your suggestion.
