Helped me a lot! Thank's!!

I solved my battery problem by using a boot converter board from ebay (cheap!), some 3d printed battery adapters (one for the positive side, one for the negative) and the same lipo's i use for my bots.

If you dont mind me asking... What battery are you using?? like where did you get it?? What model?? because my dad is chewing me off on buying parts and end up short a BATTERY..

why don't you let the first glue dry completely and then do the next one? is there any reason?

It's killing me... what did the final plane look like?

Very informative and easy to understand. Thank-you!

Thank you....

That's a cool video, liked, please check out my channel and hopefully subscribe, I will do the same

Finally an easy explanation!!! Thank you so much! I kind of had an idea, but with your visual explanation I can finally put images to "just words"

i use a pc powersuplay to. in the computer it works well, but at soon i connect 5 or 12v to my cuttingline it shot down. i can then restart but it just cut down again. help is needed. do you have any

does the Amp of the 12v matter?

You genius sir!.I am now building a similar design wing maker thanks to your well explained video! Thank you SO much for that! I hope my wings turn out to be as good as your ones!

Nice video very ease to understood! Have you heard about Coanda Efect?

Hey there, What do you do when the light doesn't switch off after you release the bind button and turn off the transmitter?

Do you have any training online for sale?

Do you have any website?

What is that paper? Where can I get it?

What to do if light is not flashing? Please, help out anyone?

I'm also using a computer ATX power supply but when I attach the alligator clips, it shorts out the ATX power supply. Any advise?

Hi, would like to ask a question. I hav the same TX, but my ailerons and rudder are reversed. Is there a way (via mayb jumper in the board?) to reverse them since i dnt have the usb cable? THX!

Did you ever fly it? Thanks for the hot wire vids btw.

First off I want to say very informative video and well done...ty for your video ! I just have a few questions for you andpets55 (1). Can I use the "G" string, (second string from the bottom), off of a guitar, it is nichrome as well I believe...? (2). How many watts is your computer power supply or does it matter ? (3). Does it matter how long and what gage the power supply leads are, (the ones with the alligator clips)...? and (4). What amperage works best..?

Once video, what is that foam, mine it's mess.

help. the led doesent turn on at all if i plug in the bind plug

Would it be possible making the joint at the ailerons with taping the foam core from above where the ailerons will be, then covering it, cutting only on the bottom side through the foam and not the tape to make a more robust wing and spare one step?

you are the man, I was looking for videos on wire cutting wings and found your videos. I learned more from your videos then any, thank you

Dear when I switch on the PSU to nichrome wire psu shut , how to resolve this

can i just connect the alligator clips to a blade?

Thank you for the upload. You have done what the majority the majority have failed to do. I have spent over 4 hours trying to get this answer. I code, I built 2 cars, one motorcycle, I maintain networks with over 4 thousand users I build models in CAD. I built and fly an ultralight. Im not saying it to brag.I mention it to help with the following comparison. like anything else, an individual can find a network of people that are interested in the same study or activity. The people who are interested in the electrical side of this craft aren't even on the scale when it comes to low self esteem ,they are arrogant and the most useless group I have ever encountered. I've read dozens of posts with people asking simple questions that never get answered. instead of an answers you get pages worth of replies from people trying to one up each other as if its an accomplishment. Then there is all the, how to build a hotwire videos that are equally useless because they dont cover the power supply. Its not just me ,take a look at forums and youtube and you will see negative comments everywhere about the same thing. Its a wire and power supply,not magic or Quantum Mechanics .Thanks again

One of the most useful series on youtube. Thanks a ton.

I found your videos about making the foam cutter and cutting the wings very useful, thank you! I'm going to have a go myself at some point. The PC power supply is a fantastic idea. :-)

How do you scale your airfoil designs to cut them out? Do you use a program or just hand draw them?

Just found your channel and thanks for great videos . . not seen all but seen a few full of information i wanted to know about

So technically, you could just add 4mm bullet plugs to the negative and positive from the power supply? And plug directly into them.. the only reason i ask is, it looked like you a transformer and stuff on the table but it seems like you arnt using them as you mentioned...

Awesome video.....I'm kept scratching my head wonder how the hell to figure this it. Now I know......thanks

Hi Andpet55, your videos are brilliant, thank you so much. I have built a simple cutting bow, and made some airfoil templates (cardboard), cut some wings, sanded them as you suggested (I am still learning to make good cuts), then covered the foam cores with packaging ("brown") paper (I can get different colors), using diluted white glue as you suggested, and I finished the wings with clear (or colored) packing tape, and ther result is BRILLIANT. The wing is strong and light (same weight as a built up balsa wing of the same size), and flexible. I have flown my new model, and I am very grateful for all your videos. I am using NiChrome wire (26 ga = 0.4 mm from EBAY), cutting wing halves (white foam or the denser colored foam) of approx. 2 feet (about 60 cm), with a 3S 2200 MAh LiPo (and a low voltage beeper from EBAY) and a servo tester (EBAY), regulating a BRUSHED ESC (Banggood). To further strengthen the wings, I have cut some groves into the cores, with a knife, and glued in thin dowels, salvaged from a bamboo window blind; the dowels weigh about 2 grams each (60 cm length), and they add tremendous strength. Since there were some questions about the NiCrome wire, may I post some links: hotwirefoamcutterinfo . com jacobs-online . biz

Do you have any pattern that are available? Don

Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it. Can you tell me which foam are you using. Can you provide links?

Hi, I teach HS engineering and we are working on your project. But I need to know what Turnigy motor did you use on this project? Did it provide enough power? Would love to be able to talk to you on the phone or through email. I you are willing just let me know. Thank you, Craig

Mr. What's the type of wire which is used

Hey Folks! Just finished paper coating some 6ft. long wings using the "andpet55" technique and it worked out well. But, I added the step of lightly squeegee the wet paper after application with a straight edge plastic squeegee to push out any bubbles of glue or air trapped under it towards a seam lap. Then a light wet brush to smooth out the marks from the squeegee and spread out the extra glue. Almost as if doing a fiberglass lay up, without the smell!

Thanks for this, that was everything I needed to know, especially which pin is ground. That little detail is often left out of documentation. The only thing I can think of that you left out is the default programming. 1 aile 2 elev 3 throttle 4 rudder/steering and the B switch (or maybe A switch on mode 1) is throttle kill.

Great video and techniques for demonstrations

Great inexpensive DIY cutter. I imagine guitar wire would work well for this. E string maybe. Never thought of using an old PC power supply - great idea. I'd love to see a tabletop cutter using the power supply

Thanks for the video. I´m from Brazil, and use similar technike, with EPS + PAPER + white GLUE. Great videos !

Excellent videos from cutting the wings to coating and shaping....I learned a lot this morning, your efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey! How did You know I have that stuff on My bench? I enjoy the thought process of Your videos because it can help solve other problems building as well.

Hi, I have a question: what kind of wire you use for landing gear?

i heard in a blog that the longer the wire the more voltage you need and moving slowly is the best way to cut. i think you could may by make one with a battery and dimmer switch, getting the temp. right is most important.
