You did a great job designing and building this plane. We in the hobby appreciate what you have done. Its not easy designing and building an RC plane, let alone making a video. I am not an expert at any of it but know enough to help others save money by giving people tips on how to get into the hobby. Any time someone can save money and get into the hobby, they can enjoy what they have done because its something they have done. Anyone can buy a ready to fly airplane if they have the money. Ignore those people that send you negative comments concerning your design and build. Those people have nothing better to do and couldn't design a soup can telephone on a string. Its a great hobby and hopefully many people have tried your plane.

[@Joyplanes]

Thank you so much. Your comment is equivalent to a $10 donation but in moral credits.

[@mssippijim]

This is a very good tutorial for the complete beginner. I'm about to embark on my first foam build with a precut kit, but I hope to follow up with some scratch builds.

[@aerotim570]

Saya suka sekali jika joyplane upload video seperti ini. Sangat menginspirasi

[@boxlessthinker1973]

I really enjoyed watching this video. Like a combination of plane builder and designer. Great job! I fly a ready made foam plane and have been amazed at the level of repairs that have been possible yet it still flies perfectly. My plane did not include your fancy landing gear design. I don’t think it has rolled truly straight for dozens of flights (this is tricky for take off but perhaps worse for landing because it is like applying vast amounts of braking force when it touches the grass at which point it would nose over and put the rudder into the turf). I plan to make a new gear support soon, meanwhile I have learned that a bit of throttle at touchdown keeps it on its feet. I hope to build up the confidence to try this design! Thank you for explaining each step with video showing the details!

[@Mailzas]

Today printed your plan, started to build. Impresive. Very solid, simple, and well thought plan. Have suggestion wings are ~53 cm, but lot of people buying foam in 50 x 50 cm, it is used for ceiling, cheap to buy. If plane were 10% smaller, would be easier a bit. Another thing, have you tried to print plan on sticker? That way probably would be a bit faster, because, you can instanstantly cut sticker and foam.

[@atikalmustahid4057]

I really love your build videos.....your build videos are too satisfying. Big fan bro

Am really got inspiration from you to my build my plane project ❤🎉 thanks a lot my lovely brother joy 😊

[@thehammeringman2673]

Your videos are pretty amazing. The last time I flew a remote controlled plane was in the mid 1960s. It was a one button system that activated a solenoid on a rubber band loaded escapement. Things have certainly come a long ways since then. Thanks for putting out such wonderfully detailed videos on this great art. Be well, Isidro

[@adityathakare7997]

Great build. Not many curvy parts, thus making the build easier. Will make a one for me soon. Keep the good work👌👌

[@kristinagargano8953]

Hey man made one in just 26 minutes. Kind of like fly test but longer. Any advice on flying in the Smokey mountains?

[@NegativeAccelerate]

Wow that was fast

[@1mikeb]

You have some nice design ideas I haven't seen in other foam board planes. Flies nice and slow. The problem is that for beginners, crashes are inevitable and foam board compresses and creases easily, usually resulting in major damage to the front of fuselage, wingtips, and tail structure. Though the materials are cheap, there's a lot of labor involved, and seeing my nice plane significantly damaged on the first flights is disheartening. Can you figure out how to make it a lot more resilient?

[@Joyplanes]

Some more reinforcements can be added but takes a bit more work.

[@Mailzas]

You can buy foam, paper sandwitch, it's very strong, or you can make it yourself, just glue stronger paper to both sides of foam. Or some people add scotch after build.

[@Dingleberriesalad]

I've found in my first build of one of these larger joytrainer planes that you have room to add some weight by reinforcing some areas with thin hard types of wood. I've also found that when I have a hard crash it's easy enough to cut a piece off that broken and replace it with a new piece just glue it in and tape over it. I've had some hard landings and caused some severe damage. Took me a pretty short amount of time to repair in all cases. And repairing your model is kinda part of the fun in my personal experience.

[@alirc6995]

Nicely designed. I am focusing more to glider types. My first build is slow flyer rc glider plane

[@theeastman9136]

Thanks to your video and links, I am building my first RC plane and I'm 74 years old. Thank you for that. I could very well do without the music though. Just building sounds are also a good soundtrack. The music you use does spoil the pleasure…a bit.

For a begginer that is building the joytrainer mini is it better to buy a 3s baterry and a 2s one or two 3s ones (because my supplier does not have the 2s I want in stock)

That will be a big motor and prop for the airplane. Specially th prop but try and see if that fits.

FT is No.1 ,Its Not bad but FT very very nice and Perfect.

[@scottfirman]

Not all FT planes are great. I have had to modify all the ones I made. Usually the angle on the firewall is not right and doesn't take in account the forces that make the plane want to turn left upon take off. Not one of their plans compensate for the issues involved. That being said, foam board is cheap so its easy to fix any issues with these planes. He does a great job on this plane and his design is pretty interesting concerning the curve of the wing instead of using the methods used on all of the FT plane wings.

[@scottfirman]

Perfect? Have you actually built one? I have built two different models and both required modifications to fly. The angle of attack on the motor on both of them was off, I had to pull out the fire wall on the Tiny Trainer and readjust it. On the Simple cub, I had to add washers on one side so fix the bad tendency it had to bank severely to the left and down too much. No ,Flite Test planes are not perfect. If you listen carefully to Josh B, he even mentions making corrections or hints is more like it. Every RC plane requires adjustments eather through the transmitter or mechanically to make them fly better. There is no perfect RC plane.

[@ohya9633]

perfectly made brother and thankyou for sharing the measurements and i liked your site also. thankyou so much.

i got mine at the dollar tree had a ton of foam sheets. first time build but i know my grandfather always used dollar tree foam for his plane build and probably maybe upwards of 150-200 in his lifetime

[@coolwdv4356]

dollar store and hobby lobby normally has foam boards

I'm really enjoying the process of building this. I skipped the lading gear but now I'm trying to make one - what are those things you used to secure the wheel in place in the wire? And the wheels, did you buy them? I'm thinking of making ones from foam

[@titithierry920]

Why did you create an angle for the wings. Can't we have a right wing ?

[@Joyplanes]

You can, but with dihedral you'll have a bit more stability.

Hello. Can you tell me what is the weight of foam you are using? I think the one i bought is to heavy. 50x70 sheets are about 180 grams. comparing to previously used XPS which was 80 grams it is aloooot.

[@rodrigoc.goncalves2009]

I'm no expert but if you are using a 2s battery use a 3s and see if the extra power is enough. A bigger prop could also work I guess. Which exact motor are you using?
