I received a room full of RC planes, let’s play.

[mayan]

A while ago I went to my daugther's school to give an enriching parent lesson, of course I decided to talk about RC planes and created NerdNic's Chugstang gliders with them.

On that same day the guard at her school couldn't help but notice the cardboard box I was carrying with all the things I needed for the lesson. On the way out we had a bit of a chat which at the end of it I was invited to come and take a room full of RC goodies. There was only one condition though you take it all or nothing! So one day I went over and took everything. The car was packed that not even a needle could fit in.

Here is a video of the guy behind this generous gift.

It took me a day or two to get everything sorted out and organized but eventually I did.

Here is a quick loot at the fleet that I got from a vlog I made about a month and a half ago.

Each of the models I got needs checking before flying. Also some of the models will be a first timer for me so I'm excited to start my journey. I will use this thread to go through each of the models I received.


EDIT:
I decided to add an index to the models here, so it will be easier for myself and others to find specfic models in a thread that will become very long.
Carbon Falcon by Ace Sim RC
Unicorn Wing by Unicorn Wings
Lil' Banchee by Cermark

The first plane I will be playing with is the Carbon Falcon by AceSim RC. This plane is really light weighted and can be folded into as thin as 5x5cm wide and about 35-40 cm long. The model is made out of a kite like material which is part of the reason it is so light. The fuselage is made out of carbon fiber rods connected to a super unique surface control mechanism.

The model is setup with a 18a ESC and 9x4.5 prop and motor which I can’t recognize, but I assume it’s a 1700kv motor because that’s what’s written on it.

I have flown it before making the video which made me do a few fixes to it while making the video. Any how here is the video.

Fixing and Flying the Carbon Falcon by AceSim RC. An Indoor/Outdoor RC flying BAT!

To sum up this is a great indoor and outdoor wing easy to transport and very resistant to crashes. It’s got to be flown in calm days otherwise it’s just not all that fun. On calm days tough it can glide forever. It can easily be flown in small parks and gyms. Great plane to have around when you want to chill out and definitely a plane I am happy to have in my fleet.

A while ago I joined a few WhatsApp RC related groups and made a few new friends. One of which also lives in the same city as me and has been coming to the field with me these last 3 Saturdays straight. Today the guy while I wasn’t looking literally throws a bunch of RC planes in the trunk of my car and says; they are just packing up dust over at my place and I know you’ll make them fly again. please take them and make them a project.

So people you know me I love planes and I love projects and there seems like I got a lot of them at the moment. So without further a due I got some planes to fix, videos to make and content to share with you all.

Here is a quick glance at the new recruits.

Anyone familiar with this model!? The Unicorn flying wing, by Unicorn Wings… Couldn’t find anything about it online .

Wow. Thanks a million

A moment before I post the video of fixing and flying the Unicorn Wing by Unicorn Wings here is a sneak peak of the next model I’ll be fixing. The Filip 600 Sport. Technically a slope soarer, but since I have zero experience with slope soaring I’ll probably just maiden it on a windy day.

Alright folks this is a moment you've been waiting for or to be more exact I've been waiting for to post the video of the Unicorn Wing by Unicorn Wings. Special thanks to @Tench745 for finding so information about the model for me .

This model is super stable and is very durable. It’s made out of molded foam so it bounces on a crash just to be picked up and tossed into the air again. I know you probably cant buy one anymore but if you can I’d really recommend holding one of these in you fleet . I also made my Unicorn Wing FPV because of it’s great floating ability at low speeds. Which makes it a great platform for cruising FPV allowing you to figure out where you are with a slower response time.

Anyhow here is the video.

that looks so sleek

Pretty much along the same design parameters I have the Assasin from Crash Test Hobbies. They have a video of them crashing straight into a brick wall pick it up and throw it right back into the air. I can vouche for how tough there wings are.

sup everybody?
I don't get much video editing done, at least not as much as I'd like to but that doesn't mean I didn't fix and fly some more of the models that I recieved. I don't have much fix videos aparently, but I can say that these have been fixed and flown and I will try to get a good video done for each; Filip 600, Lil' Banchee, F16, Beritling, 3D Hummer, Angelbipe, Edge540, Cessna.

Mean while here are a few videos of them flying that I aparently forgot to share with this thread.
F16
My first RC EDF Jet Experience, the ending was expected!
My second RC EDF Jet experience, how did it go!? Glorious success or Miserable failure?

Unicorn Wing
Will I make it through?! Going Bold with the Unicorn Wing. #flitetest

Hey there everybody. Wassup?
As you all might remember a long time ago, I received a bunch of RC airplanes from an amazing guy who retired from the hobby. I assured him that each and every one of them would fly again, so after I had already flown and posted two videos of his RC planes, here is the third one and there are more that I didn't get to yet...

This model is called the Lil' Banchee and is a 3d profile plane by Cermark. It flies pretty darn awesome, and in better hands then mine would fly even better. It's super capable of doing alot of 3d manuvers, most that I am affraid to attemp because after all it is a balsa plane and my very first one too.

Last Saturday, I got to fly it again after a long time that I haven't and felt more comfortable with it. Mainly because I added a lot of expo and tune down the weights too. That's after following advice that I had once received from a bunch of kids that fly huge gasers with no fear in the bodies. Things that I would dare doing even with a foamie let alone something that I can buy another car with.

This model is using an aXi motor with a 25amp ESC and 3S 1500mah battery, spinning a 10x3.8 or 9x4 prop. As for servos I honestly dont know will try to have a look and update you.

Any how here is the video, hope you enjoy it.

Only bad habit with the Assassin is if going into a turn better get on the throttle or she will tip stall and go into the ground with no recovery possible, done it a few times until I figured it out.

Remember this post from way back then. Well I finally got a chance to edit the first video for a model that I received from a dear friend Yaniv.
Yaniv gave me and still gives me from time to time a bunch of planes that need repairs but can still be saved for me to restore and fly them. The first model that I will be sharing with you is the Hummer EPP-3D by Red Eagle Model. I received the plane in horriable condtion and did as much as I was willing to on a model so beat up. The huge plus in this repair though is the fact that the model is so beat up makes me care less if it crahes or not and might allow me to push my bonderies. Anyhow enjoy the video.

 

[bisco]

well that was beautiful! better with each flight. for myself, i'd need more expo on the ailerons.

great job rebuilding her.

I have been flying alot of 3D models lately and have come to learn that its a matter of preference and your ability. However some top flyers have recommended to start off with +-70 - 90 expo and rate limitations between 45 - 75, and adjust from there according to the planes behavior. I usually start off that and then just add or remove rates and expos as needed.

I have my rates on a three position switch low medium high each have there own rates and expo.
