C-17 V2! flew great until I messed it up, twice lol

[@messybench974]

Years in the hobby and never feel the need for a 3D printer... until now!! 🤩 I really want one!! Really nice work ❤

[@hotlapkyle]

@@messybench974 you won’t regret it. Most of my smaller simpler planes are extremely durable and easy to print and assemble 👍🏻

[@rinku1n1n]

Awesome! It flies very well. Not much longer. I always use a gyro for my 3D printer airplanes. It's because it's stable even if the center of gravity is slightly off, and it reduces expenses due to damage. It's efficient and recommended because it doesn't waste time or money on the airplane. When I want to change my mood and have fun, I enjoy airplanes like the RC-Factory, which don't have a gyro.

[@vanofunchannel]

Thats great. I doing the same. Use gyro for every new project.

[@3DPrintHangar_RC]

This brings me IMMEASURABLE AMOUNTS OF JOY!!!!! Love seeing you succeed 💪💪

[@Lipo-man]

Two suggestions. One - extend the ailerons out towards the wingtip to give more roll authority. Two - maybe add a mix to do some slight differential thrust on the motors to give you yaw control (i.e. rudder). Good luck with the ongoing testing of this one - it’s going to be brilliant!

[@PlaneFunRC]

Love your enthusiasm!!

[@jamesrodney8737]

Kyle, looks good. But maybe you should wait for a bigger space or quieter time. I joined my local RC club this week because the parks are too dicey near me. Keep up the great work

[@N827TM]

Awesome, Nice Job Congrats!! Any chance can you make the winglets more scale? Other than that, what a beautiful model.

[@airplanyguy68]

Nose heavy planes fly poorly, tail heavy planes fly once. I think I learned that from you!

[@rusemers]

Don’t know what your rc flying experience is but it may be a good idea to fly high wing trainer prop model around the area to get used to the space. At the moment you appear to be behind the model in terms of anticipating what happens next in the flight envelope. The model is great but not what I would describe as a beginners model. Be kind to yourself and save the EDF scale models for when you are really confident in your flying ability.

[@BusstterNutt]

Thank you, a great synopsis as alway.

[@M-HK-]

I have two foamie plug and play C-17s that have 4-55 MM EDFs. They seem much heavier than the one you built. They take a ton of airspeed to fly and aren't very maneuverable. The fans are cheap plastic, and I discovered that when one of them detonated in flight, 3 engines at full throttle weren't enough to make it back to the runway. Your C-17 flies much better and seems to have a much lower wing loading.

[@d4ro]

I think the plane crash was Hollywood stuff 😂 enjoy your videos, keep it coming

[@Soshstar999]

You should design a "grass hopper", a plane with a above wing fan/fans, and a nice aero dynamic battery compartment and a F16XL wing configuration and maybe even toy with the idea of the SU57 front wing canard control surface and change the game on the grass and in the air, and if you want it to slow speed float just add in a bigger wing area

[@sabertoothanimations2912]

I wonder if the extra weight in glue helped LMAO I love the C-17 though, when i get things in order i'ma get a F-22 and and a C-17, your models you put out are not only quality ones but they are actually a good price, i wanna support that when i can ^^

[@hotlapkyle]

@@sabertoothanimations2912 thank you 🙏

[@sabertoothanimations2912]

@@hotlapkyle Oh no no thank you, everyone else wants to charge hefty amounts for just the files, yours are shown to work, so i think you for that :3

[@Prevettspecialdesign]

You definitely seem stressed. Don’t mate it’s not worth it. You have done an amazing job, I’m sure you will have a new one soon. We will wait for the files. I give you 24hours 😂😂 seriously this is a bad arse model that’s worth waiting for 👍🏻

[@hotlapkyle]

@@Prevettspecialdesign I have trouble sharing the field with other people lol. I like the cold months when I have the whole place to myself 😆

[@djacob7]

Flew great until.... Is this plane on sale anywhere? I only see it with two pusher props on Amazon.

[@Prevettspecialdesign]

You 3d print it, and the files will be out for it over the next few days.

[@maxun1]

Kyle the Europe C17 his aid in the video, he deployed Flaps, but yours do not have it?

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

It's best to be more nose heavy then tail heavy, also make your turns more wider.

[@simons6208]

Looks great...what glue do you use ...???

[@hotlapkyle]

@@simons6208 medium CA with accelerator

[@RcRedbeard]

Hi Bro, did you use a lightweight PLA or each other?

[@PlaneFunRC]

Do you have an RC field nearby?

[@hotlapkyle]

@@PlaneFunRC I’m a paid memeber of my AMA field there.

[@rickkollins]

Maybe put the EDSFs inboard? Then no interference with aeleron?

[@rickkollins]

Never mind...

[@hotlapkyle]

@@rickkollins they are! I was mentioning the last flight the thrust was like thrust vectoring. Now it’s great 👍🏻

[@ChrisEvansNodd]

I'm seeing you banking her a lot in the turns, like 45° & more. You're just asking for a stall (2:18) doing that. Like you said the model needs more space. Otherwise looks like she's flying great.

[@hotlapkyle]

@@ChrisEvansNodd yup!!! I added a rudder and I forgot to use it lol 😆 I flew it bank and yank and that’s no bueno

[@b.w.oostdam8875]

Normally I fly a lot higher before I try to trim...

[@squirrelynutz1]

Switch to elrs and you'll never worry about signal loss

[@fearisthemind-killer]

There is no way I could fly any of those planes. I've never flown before. This channel is making me want to take up the hobby. But damn; the planes are so fragile. I need a beginner plane that you can crash and it doesn't matter.

[@hotlapkyle]

@@fearisthemind-killer unfortunately nothing really exists you can just crash. Even foam planes will break

[@polyscient]

Why don't you join an AMA flying club so you don't have to stress about flying over people? I assume there's not one near enough to where you live.

[@hotlapkyle]

@@polyscient that is my AMA club! I pay yearly to the AMA and also to my club yearly. This is my club field. It’s shared with the public

[@saberwulfSC]

You're a bit tail heavy
