Hello everyone,
I am just starting out building r/c planes. I have very little experience with r/c in general. I've built a "robot"car for a competition/course and recently hot glued a few pieces of basswood into a boat with brushed turbo-jets.
Currently, I am attempting to scratch build a half sheet plan I found on the forum (https://www.flitetest.com/articles/half-sheet-no-wastethree-channel-trainer) but it calls for some scrap pieces on top of the half sheet. So I've also begun an FT mini Scout to produce the requisite waste pieces. (Such a terrible situation to be in, I'm sure.)
Future build plans include an FT Alpha, FT kraken, and FT A-10... probably in that order.
I am really interested in FPV as well. Found a $100 eachine set of goggles that I'm tempted to get but I don't know what else I would need or what any of the acronyms and stats mean yet.
Pictures of my "handiwork" will follow as progress is made.
EDIT: P.S. what are flight controllers for if everything is controlled from the rx/servos? Do/will I need one?
