Thanks lol. My brain isn't functioning 🤣.
Wait what it exploded? Like did the motor come off and the prop raised hell upon everything at the front of the plane? (I had that happen once with a nitro so it was extra scary lol)
It didn't make any bad noises like anything was loose or the prop was unbalanced, there was just a pop, and plastic was falling from the sky lol
The plastic was too thin so it snapped
Oh yeah that makes sense. I've never tried any 3d printed planes but I always thought that either just the plastic being too brittle or the motor heat causing the plastic to lose a lot of strength and subsequently let go would be massive problems.
a few drops of CA will clear all that up
How exactly do those work? I've heard of them but never actually tried one. I assume all it is is just some way to directly power the servos off of one battery while just routing the signal wires to the reciever, and if that's really all it is, I don't think it would be too difficult to hand-make one.
So this means that my hypothetical electronics setup would look like this: one battery running all the servos and the servos only connected to the receiver via the signal wire, while the reciever is run by one of the four ESC's BEC, all the other ESCs having their power cables from the BEC disconnected?
I've seen this one before, a really nice basic design. Not something I'm interested in at the moment though, it's about at the level of all the most simple 3ch planes I've already been designing myself, so while cool, nothing new. I'm focusing a lot more on 4ch lately and trying new stuff, though deltas are still of course part of that here and there. I'm doing a lot of KFM-ish stuff and basic air foils lately, swept wings and forward swept wings, and other stuff that's new(to me). I appreciate the tag though, it's a cool little plane and I kind of like the tractor prop in slot thing.
Lol, you have so many nice planes! I just have a collection of foam board planes... I really want some nice balsa or even pnp planes.
Yeah, issue is I’m cash depleted, so fb is kinda my only option... And I also like being able to push myself and not worry about crashing!Get building then!
Better yet, go to swap meets/garage sales/antique malls and the like. I got the Avistar for $80 and the Kadet as an unassembled ARF for $130 at a swap meet simply because the guy had too many planes and just wanted to downsize. I actually got the Cub kit for free! (It was missing a lot of parts though) None had engines but that wasn't really a problem as I have an unreasonable amount of those.
This is just the actually nice ones that were photo worthy. All the crappy foamies got stuffed into another room (Except the Flying Green Screen - that plane is such a legend it will live on forever or at least until it inevitably dies in combat at FF20)
I will start that gentle lady one of these weeks though!
I have some swap meets I am going to stop by soon! I also have a flea market not far from my house that I saw a few kits at awhile ago..Get building then!

Go for it! Make a thread too. I want to see what you do differently than me and maybe learn some too.
Possibly - it depends on who many builds I have going on and how many are waiting to be done!
I have a lot of projects at the moment, but once you have plans, hit me up with them and I’ll see if I can test it for you.
Thanks, could use the help...Possibly - it depends on who many builds I have going on and how many are waiting to be done!
