Carl Goldberg Ultimate Biplane Conversion to Electric

This was a long time build starting probably in 2000 and the plane survived 5 moves. When I finally got back into flying RC, electrics had really come a long way. This is the result of the last year making the conversion.

Wow! What an insane amount of work! Well done!

thanks

Really nice work and love the video. I love your thinking and application process. Happy flying my friend

@@BayonasRCWorld after all of that. I'm finding I don't like the plane very much. It was probably great in its time, but there's so many better planes now that I don't like flying this one.

[@waynemiller6070]

It's really my fault though. I made it too heavy.

​@@waynemiller6070yeah it is not your light 3D type bipe even if built as per instruction and plans with weight range. It is a great sport flyer with basic Aerobatic maneuvers but not your today's 3D flyer if you know what I mean. Nonetheless it is a fun build and great everyday flyer.

​@@waynemiller6070you did great regardless especially for this specific model.

[@waynemiller6070]

Special thanks to my sister for all her support, and for recording the flight. Kudos to Megan Phillips from Brian Phillips RC. She takes such consistently remarkable flying footage while most of our footage is pretty much unusable.

Nice work! Thanks for the video. The best tool I have found for scratch building is a 3D printer. Solves the motor mount, battery hatch and cowl dilemma perfectly. I use On Shape modeling software that is free and lots of KZbin tutorials are available. I’m in the middle of building a 1M version of the Ultimate Bipe

[@waynemiller6070]

I can see how a 3-D printer would have worked really well. I could have used it for the cowl and the battery hatch. I'm sure there's a learning curve too in printing stuff, but I can see that the results may have been more professional for sure.

@@waynemiller6070 your plane looks excellent! Printing the “normal “ PLA is very easy. The design software takes a little time but I use it all the time to make things for the home too.
