Building the Ultimate RC Balsa Wood Airplane: FIRST KICK!

[@shumailriaz9204]

Now this is more like it, simple to build, less resources and a beautiful stable model.....bravo. thank you so much for this project

[@Lipo-man]

Even though it’s “only” a simple plane, I love that it’s built to the same amazingly high standards as your bigger projects. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@markoroolaid]

thank you

[@raymasek4127]

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn some new little technique. Keep them coming.

[@markoroolaid]

Ok. Thank you very much

[@user-iv3vr1jk7c]

Wowwwww.So great.👍

[@jagitmax]

good EYEBALLING alignment on the fuselage , i wonder if the tail and nose are precisely on the centerline but i guess close is good enough.

[@coloradocj243]

Man, that looks like alot of fun. I've scratch built MANY balsa planes in my life, these RTF foam planes have taken over though. I haven't built a balsa plane in years. I need to change that.

[@williamlane2126]

Beautiful build. Graphics and color choice really made your branding pop. Another perfect design 👌

[@markoroolaid]

thank you so much

[@gordonendicott5114]

Nice build and flight test ..

[@markoroolaid]

thank you

[@olisandy0]

Nice project. Congratulations. Thanks maestro

[@abosamea]

Amazing Fast build😀

[@markoroolaid]

👍👍👍

[@SettoStun688]

Personally I think a wing with more of a dihedral angle is better for beginners

[@cristianl503]

This is absolutely breathtaking! Not just the design but also the decals and choice of colours. To me as an absolute beginner, this looks like the right size and indeed not breaking the bank. Not too sure about the 3D printed parts, tough so if you might have any suggestions how to hand-build those parts, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing this with us! It's very much appreciated!

[@markoroolaid]

Hello, thank you very much. I think this plane had one 3d printed part. This is intended to provide cooling to the ESC. It can also be left out and just make an hole in the fuselage

[@herryrachmad333]

I like the color combinations ( grey, black and red tail ) nice models too Marko

[@markoroolaid]

Thanks

[@TVCanT]

Gives new meaning to the term 'built like a tank'. Way overkill. But durable for the beginner.

[@umrthemd]

it's almost May! gee bee maiden is coming?

[@markoroolaid]

Gee Bee soon, soon

[@mikenowland2739]

Bravo Marko 👍 Your work is first class.

[@Boogie3D]

While adding sheeting/making the wing structure you should pin the win to the table. Otherwise you will have introduce inevitable (and uncontrollable) twist/bend in it.

[@ashantiego5107]

Another beautiful project, and a joy to watch as usual. Well done again👏👏👏

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you

Hi, Thank you very much

Thank you

[@patraymond3791]

Incredible to say the least, you have a fortune invested in tools and equipment but yet you provide the plans for free, what laser do you use? Very nice . Pat

[@markoroolaid]

Hi, I use CO2 laser, 130w

[@clvnkang]

Very good looking plane. Love it 🫰🏻

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you

[@fierceflyer5]

I didn’t realize Vectric software could be used to draw plane parts. Good to know

[@bushcrafter6416]

Great plane!!!!

[@knowledgebyte]

Call this model the SkyLark. That’s the bird singing in the background towards the end of the video. Nicely made.

[@markoroolaid]

:):) thank you

[@JamesRCPlaneTech]

Very good, great work!

[@markoroolaid]

Hello Many thanks. I also watched your KZbin channel and it is also very interesting.

[@JamesRCPlaneTech]

Thank you! I appreciate that. Mind sharing what camera you are mounting on the plane? I use an older gopro but it’s a little heavy.

[@markoroolaid]

@@JamesRCPlaneTech I use a DJI action 2 camera. It is a very wonderful thing indeed. Super good image stabilizer, you can freely put it on a plane with a gas engine and there is really very stable picture. And most importantly, this camera is very small compared to the GOPRO itself. A good example here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJOmh2uuo9Jmi6s

[@EMTAx]

Nice flight

[@JohnnyBoy-oq7gc]

Excellent video....as always!

[@beerbuffet1222]

That is fuego 🔥🌵🚀

[@pradeepdeshmukh2023]

Hi Marko, Amazing work, i really want to learn from you, it was my dream to make my own RC from childhood, can you tell me do you give any training to build RC ?

[@Mike-pb5bj]

Awsome work my friend ! Like alway's ! It's not a freaking chinese product's ! 😂 they have to learn something from you ! 💙✈️👍

[@EMTAx]

I enjoy the flying part of your videos always. Make it longer next time🍻

[@markoroolaid]

OK, thank you so much👍👍👍

[@lucianoaraujo1751]

your projects are fantastic congratulations, please make Bill Hempel Clipped Wing Piper 40%.

[@DerMaje]

How is the wing loading? You didn´t reinforce the wing, so i would be a little bit worried that the wing couldn´t handle harder maneuvers...🤷‍♂

[@markoroolaid]

Hi, Wingloading 36g/dm2. The wing has proper I spars and torsion. In reality, the wing is very, very strong and there is definitely no risk of breakage

[@RockyMtBashers]

[@MultiEski]

Like before even watching :)😁

[@hh-vq3cz]

Hello Marko, Thank you for this recent Project, Would you let us know what model of Laser cut machine do you use for cutting the hardwood and Balsa wood?

[@markoroolaid]

Hi, CO2 laser 130w

[@396fab]

Beautiful aircraft! Your video work is top-notch as well. What was the onboard camera? Also looking forward to the Gee Bee maiden flight. Thanks!

[@markoroolaid]

hi, onboard camera DJI ACTION 2

Love your content ❤ Can you do twin motor same design

[@markoroolaid]

ok, why not

[@Ghosthj-ox1mm]

@@markoroolaid thank you so much I really appreciate it

[@alessandrobertoncini1137]

Complimenti x le tue opere vorrei qualche dritta su come applichi il termoretraibile su un ala tutta rivestita in obeche, senza creare Bolle, io ho solo il ferrino. Ti ringrazio e di nuovo COMPLIMENTI x i tuoi lavori

[@markoroolaid]

ok, capisco che stai usando un adesivo ma copri l'ala con la pellicola Oracover e otterrai un ottimo risultato

[@ripmax333]

I wish it had a landing option too, I'm not so lucky to have a grass field like that 😢

[@ODGuitars]

Once again, amazing stuff Marco I have a question about the glue you use, EPS I think it was 🤔 what are the benefits of using it? Also, do you have a trick to glue hinges like that without getting glue in the hinge which makes it work poorly?

[@markoroolaid]

I use EPS foam glue because it does not create a sharp glue edge. The surface of the wing remains very beautiful and even. Gluing the hinges - that's one carving, isn't it? I usually use a small drop of oil on the hinge to prevent sticking after gluing. In addition, I recommend moving the rudder after 3-4 hours of drying, then the glue has not yet solidified and the end result will be very good.

[@ODGuitars]

@@markoroolaid cheers! Love your videos

[@edlowe4910]

incredible covering, how do you get such a glossy finish?

[@markoroolaid]

Hello Of course, the main thing is experience, I have covered hundreds and hundreds of planes. But to get a beautiful result, it is good to use a heat blower. It must definitely have an adjustable temperature, and before using the blower, all edges of the covering film must be properly closed

Can you buy this kit?

[@markoroolaid]

Hi, NO!!! Building models is just a hobby for me
