Sorry, I've got no clue how to do that. I normally don't use plans or skins.

I don't know if he has time or not but I think @SquirrelTail may be able to help. I've never dealt with resizing or tileing so you probably know more than I do on this topic.

Its quite simple on how to tile them. You download the free version of Adobe acrobat and simply open it in there, select print, go to poster, make sure it is at 100%, and press print!

umm yea i'm using Ubuntu, and adobe won't run properly on it

I'm going to be using 10000 8s in the stick, I'm using two 5000 4s smart packs. I'm going to buy a smart esc so it'll be super nice being able to see live voltage, motor rpm, amp draw, temperature, etc.

Two 5000 In Series is a 8s 5000, you would need 4s 10000 to make the pack you say.

try this. i quite like mine https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=3856

thanks for the tip, but how do I get it to rc also, would this be a little too big:Keil Kraft Caprice - The Vintage Model Company or would love to make this:Keil Kraft Invader - The Vintage Model Company rc, but do not know how, and my 3ch reciever does not have mixing

I can send you a program that does the same but better than adobe as you can scale the distance you need, and also, it runs on java.

Come on dude, haven't you already drawn up & built several planes already? You'll have to start thinking like a designer.
They're all great platforms. Pick one that seems most suitable to use as a pattern to build an uncomplicated RC model. Think about what you'll do with the motor, where you'll mount the battery, etc. Think about the plane's size to match the motor you have. Think about what you'll do for hatch access. Simplify the outlines as needed. Build it like a FT kit.

When it flies it'll be a tremendous success for you. A real milestone.

When I say simplify, I mean it. If it has a complicated wing shape, make it a rectangle! Same chord, same airfoil down the full length of the wing. I already told you, your primary goal right now has to be to design/build a plane that flies.

my goal is not to design it from dtfb. my goal is to take an existing kit, and make it rc without modifying it too much, and for it to fly without a motor.

yes please

 

[FlyerInStyle]

yes please

staaaart a private conv. with me and i will explain the details

 

[Taildragger]

Now that is one I will have to remember.

I still can't tell if that means fast or slow.

 

[Taildragger]

Around here we call them Carp very good smoked a very oily fish.

My family just rearranges the letters a bit, call them crap probably because we always catch them instead of something were going after. I still need to try them out as food.

 

[Monte.C]

It flies great, you just have to land it at mach jesus

Is that like having to wake up at stupid o'clock?

hey i wake up at 4:30 every morning

What if I dropped a nitro motor on a nutball... I've got an os20 that is just sitting...

DO. IT.

Which power pack is that? J pack? K pack?
