Me too "Good demo. Thanks for detailing all the measurements as make easy to follow"

[@clivemcpike3065]

Awesome video, I make all of my foamies like this now

[@SlowerBurrito]

Definitely using this thanks

[@thetwogardens6048]

Good video . Gonna give it a bash !

[@kupelek]

Awesome video. You are so talented. Thanks a lot!!!

[@wilfredoquintero6448]

Buenas prácticas para fabricar alas de Foam. Gracias

[@michaelwhinnery164]

Good stuff, Im gonna hit you up in the future for mid range fpv advice.

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Hit me up !

[@jamesbuscher701]

Wow Great thorough tutorial! I want to build an fpv with head tracking STOL plane

[@AerialWaviator]

Good demo. Thanks for detailing all the measurements as make easy to follow.

Hello, very good video, I am still a great admirer of the experimental Airlines techniques, and now from your channel, you have given me great ideas that I will try to carry out soon, I would like you to make a video of the leds you use and how they are you ride, I see that you make sets to place them in different places, I would like you to explain it, if possible and you feel like it, greetings and happy flights. Hola, muy buen video, sigo siendo un gran admirador de las tecnicas de experimental Airlines, y ahora desde tu canal, me has dado ideas geniales que tratare de llevar a cabo pronto, me gustaria que hicieras un video de los led's que usas y como los montas, veo que haces conjuntos para colocarlos en diferentes lugares, me gustaría que lo explicaras, si es posible y te apetece. Saludos y felices vuelos.

[@sleepyj222]

any tips for cutting that bevel so smoothly?

[@jimross898]

Love this. Would make Ed smile. Does he know what you're doing with his techniques?

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Thanks man! Yeah, he usually reacted to my videos in the past

[@Dron1973]

Great job! Where is the center of gravity for this wing, at what point should the plane be balanced?

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Thanks man! Aim for 33% behind the leading edge (~1.67”)

[@carlosperez7015]

Does the carbon spar go thru the whole length of the wing?

[@PhanivyasC]

Nice tutorial. Experimental Airlines Armin wing build video shows that you have to use 3 formers but here you have used only 2 hence the camber of the wing is reduced by little bit. Will there be any significant impact on the lift generated with your version of the wing? And Tapering of control surfaces is necessary?

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Thanks! I found out that unlike the reduced chamber, this thinner/slimmer version is more efficient & faster that the standard armin wing I have this wing on every plane I have now & the wings perform amazing - glide ratio’s are incredibly good too and it’s lighter as well. I experimented with the depron version on a new build (soon published) which made it only ~200gr instead of 350-400gr

[@PhanivyasC]

@@AeroStuffFPV Thanks for the quick reply. Recently I've found your channel and subscribed it. I have a doubt regarding your pusher type models, does the motor mount have ant thrust angle? I am designing one for myself(I am a noob in flying planes, I am into multirotors ) and read somewhere that for pusher type it doesn't effect much. What's your take on it.

[@MrKbtor2]

Great workmanship!

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Thank you!

[@erdoctor199]

thank you. I would love to direct message you. I am considering using Peace hawk design to record video on a GPS way point mission. I just need help with controllers, cameras, goggles, antennas, propeller. I have built many Exp Airlines design but a pusher with FPV camera and thumb cameras aiming down would be really helpful for the design. I am considering 10-20 Mah design so I can achieve flights of 1-2 hours. I am pushing the limits and would really love your help. I am in Seattle Washington

[@akgadget]

Very useful video ❤️ want to build a plane like your v-tail.. I have a question.., did you leave everything default in inav? Or did you change or add any mix, or something in inav.? If yes then please share, i will be very helpful for me :)

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Thanks man! I changed settings in iNAV for all my iNAV equipped FPV Aircrafts - In Part-3 of my “Silent Star” Build Series, I’ve shown all the iNAV settings I changed. Good luck with your build! I have IG with the same name as my KZbin, I’d like to see your model!

[@akgadget]

@@AeroStuffFPV once i complete my build i will upload the video in my channel and will share with you.. you can check my channel, i build and fly drones, and also uploaded some tutorial videos ❤️

[@iliasilisparrow]

Hello, thank you for your detailed video. Would deperon be better, worse?

[@AeroStuffFPV]

less strength but better

[@user-bp2tk5xz1i]

Great videos . I have to say U are talented in tape application to foam board . Its the most annoying , difficult and time consuming process in the whole hobby 😅

[@AeroStuffFPV]

You’ll get better at it over time !

[@AAAAAA-qx6uz]

Putting the servoes is more annoying :/

[@momoracingteam6237]

Great videos! What kind of tape do you use?

[@Heywood-----Jablomeh]

Thanks for doing these videos man im loving them and just getting into fpv and long range

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Good Luck !

[@BrokenFarmer]

Can you give me some advice for wing sizing if I want to carry a 10lb useful payload for the AC?

[@ZapTeam]

I’d say maybe 60 to 110 inch wingspan. For wingspans in the lower range of that I would recommend either 2 very strong motors or 4 motors.

[@Simon-ko6ri]

Hey what kind of tape do you use?

[@my_dear_friend_]

I know it would be much slower but would there be an advangage to use Gorilla Glue? Other than it being lighter than hot glue. And repositionable (which may not matter so much). Just wondering. Good video and tutorial!

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Thanks! Gorilla glue is the better option for weight - But hotglue seems a more affordable and faster method to finish a wing within 10min

[@my_dear_friend_]

@@AeroStuffFPV - Can't beat hot glue regarding speed.

[@MadMike78]

Great video! Not sure I'm good at building the wings. Do you recommend an already built plane that works with the same electric parts?

[@chipsterflysome]

The foam board i use is 30" long not 31.5" as stated in you video. Am I okay building a wing that is 3" shorter, overall length? I am building the Silent Star. My v-tail and fuselage are as you specified in your videos.

[@AeroStuffFPV]

No problem at all. You could make it up to 10'' shorter in it's wingspan and almost no difference would be noticeable in flight. Good luck! Please show pictures or videos!

[@chipsterflysome]

Thank you so much. One more question, do you have a source for blank gift cards or sheets of same?

[@LivingHistorySchool]

How do you get the servo wire into the wing? Thanks

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5nSpXynbch9kKM

[@GilesLaFave]

What kind of foam do you guys use? Complete newbie here. Do you cover all of the foam with tape?

[@AeroStuffFPV]

5mm foam

[@erneyvelasquez]

Excelente video, usas varilla o tubo de carbono y cuál es el largo, gracias

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Gracias! Yo uso un tubo de carbono de 5 mm (alrededor de 750 mm de largo)

[@erneyvelasquez]

Gracias, amigo

[@syedmuhdakram8450]

May i know what type foam board did you use ? Just regular foam board ?

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Yes

[@Rockwell43]

where did bro get a default card

[@Rantanplan-0815]

Is this style of airfoils usefull for thermal soaring? I think about to build a thermal glider fron depron,,but dont know with airfoil i can make from depron😅

[@AeroStuffFPV]

It's worth a try for sure, I had great thermals with my FPV planes, so it'll def. work on a lighter model

[@Rantanplan-0815]

@@AeroStuffFPV thanks for your answer. Ok,than i will try it,👍

[@Rantanplan-0815]

@@AeroStuffFPV i have another question,sorry for my bad english. 1- Im one step before glue together. The leading edge(front edge from the wing),is better when the edge is direkt on the ground? Or is better when the edge have maybe 2-3mm space to the ground? Then the middle of the front edge is in the middle from the wing line. With is better? Know what i mean? 2- Is 10% thickness enough? So when the wing is 20cm deep,then i must take 20mm,it looks really thick🤔,maybe less % are better?

[@LivingHistorySchool]

Where do you get your colored tape? Thanks

[@AeroStuffFPV]

I ordered it from a shop online in my country's name (can't tell because, you know why...), You can get the same types of tape from aliexpress

[@AerialWaviator]

Search your favourite online retailers for COLOUR CARTON SEALING PACKING TAPE. If your first build, you can use clear tape to give the paper on the foam protection from water and dirt. Using markers to to add a color accent, or adding an accent strip after you order arrives. ;)

[@jases432]

Anybody know what type of airfoil this is? 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@JRF1100]

What kind of tape is that?

[@malusdarkblade1190]

Packing type works. We'll its just to add more strength while bending and until bonding is done to your ribs and to the under side

[@erneyvelasquez]

Ya terminada, el ala completa cuántos gramos aproximadamente pesa, gracias

[@AeroStuffFPV]

Approx. 175-200gr per piece (350-400gr total per set - 1.6m wingspan) with foamboard It's much lighter but less durable with depron foam which could be 100gr per piece, maybe less

[@erneyvelasquez]
