DIY Your own Pool-Noodle RC 3D Trainer airplane!

[@rodbro1]

I can't wait to look listen and learn this is fantastic....Looks like a "Yak".

[@clockguy2]

OMG. That's the old K- Mart up the road from me. What a small world it is. Great build.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

clockguy2 that K-mart must have closed down years ago right?

[@clockguy2]

The last I recall the K-mart open was in the late 1980s when I was a student at Baptist College (way before I moved back to the area). I'm not too sure if hurricane Hugo didn't do it in.

[@markturner2842]

GR8 instructions Jim.

[@wildman411]

THANKS MUCH I ENJOYED WATCHING . I ALWAYS LEARN GOOD THINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO BUILD TOO. YOU SAID SUMMERVILLE IF THATS IN S.C. YOU ARE CLOSE TO ME. I LIVE IN ANDREWS S.C. GOD BLESS KEEP UP VIDEOS THEY HELP A LOT OF FLYERS. THANKS WAYNE

[@PawleyWalnuts]

This is big...gonna be huge! Love this guy’s narration! Nice work !

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

I'm glad you liked it Sir, thankyou!

[@mssippijim]

I already have everything needed to build one of these :).

[@spocktra50]

Great concept,thumbs up.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

This idea has been around for a few years now, it's a great easy way to build a tough RC plane.

[@Killerplanes]

Love it! Gotta git me some pool noodles!

[@shamelsanders1591]

Nice video.

[@Scrumciousluis]

Wow! What a great video! That final flight was outstanding!

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Luis Aguilar Luis . . . Your a king among men Sir! Thanks!

[@jimsz0100]

Thank you for the build video. You are a very good pilot to fly in such a busy, relatively small area. l delivered many pallets of sod just past there at Flowertown Nursery and Branch Creek. Happy to see someone close.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

jimsz0100 Thanks for watching Jim, The Charleston Area has Lots of RC Flyers!

[@Z71Ranger]

Great video... I can't wait to try this... I tried to learn how to fly RC planes many years ago... I crashed two planes and gave up... I still have all the equipment... I purchased top of the line at the time... In my city they make you buy insurance and get a license and be a member of the AMA to learn to fly... Now I see you must register with the FAA... I will need to look into what all is required before I get back into fly RC planes... I think I can learn it better this time with all the flight simulators for PC and Cell phones now days...

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Thankyou Z71 Ranger! You'll Love this plane!

[@SnapPunchRobert]

Great idea and implementation on the build. I've seen a giant plastic baseball bat for toddlers that would make a great plane too. Wish I could do more. I'm still building my first two planes (nut-ball clones). Pain stops me from working more than 15 min at a time. But still great plane.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Robert Sir I'm grateful for your kind words brother! I wish you all the best on your builds! Sorry about your pain. . . . Keep on building & Never give up! .

[@lubricantrc3244]

I got to build me one of these. You rock and should sell kits for this build. You'd make millions.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

I'd rather share the Money with to Buy Poor children RC planes so they can have fun with RC flight! Thankyou Samuel!

[@Calaisknight]

Excellent...great stuff...cant thing of anything more 'funner'

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

David Robinson Thankyou for the kind words David!

[@dnismo254]

ive been watching you for a while you get my subscription because of this video..not you best plane but to mee coolest video because you made it easy for people who may not have the resourses to go out and but a nice fancy plane thumbs up Driver!!!!!

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Thankyou Dnismo! that is exactly why I built I made this video . . .so almost anyone can go out an build their very own RC plane and see that's its not as hard as people may think.

[@TheCrowMurder64]

BADASS! looks awesome! Good for you for being super creative ! plane looks really good!

[@renzomccarthy9299]

good job

[@arteta0071]

wow!!. great plane to build. will make one.. like this video

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Thankyou Arteta!

[@spongejacobw123]

you had me at $30 because i did some reaserch and did dah mathz and allmost all the planes that i had plans for would cost around $100 so THANK YOU YOU SAVED MY PROTENTAL HOBBY (yes english is my 1st language, i just sick at spelling and dont feel like spell cheaking)

[@BaldEagle315th]

very nice job....I like the way you explain as you go.... a lot of guys make too many assumptions when they do their videos....//

[@eze-fpv848]

Good job man..and I feel the same way don't worry about the mess give your girl a dollar and send her ass to the dollar tree and grab me some foam...love it I've been making my own also and have a couple that fly better than my costly planes ,,,great video

[@mohannadalmadanie4425]

well done with super plane and wonderful flight i had a lot of benefit of this video thanks a lot

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

[@mohannadalmadanie4425]

+F3HDemonDriver thanks for clarification

[@RoboTekno]

This is a fun idea. I may have to try this one day, haha. Sections of pool noodle would make decent nacelles for a twin/multi motor/engine plane too.

[@tonyphinrc5509]

Very cool design....I like it!!!!

[@sunchser1]

awesome video very nicely done with excellent instructions on how to, jod well done very impressed

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Anton Nym Thanks! You'll Love this plane!

[@cyborgbadger1015]

I'm gonna use the whole pool noodle and make a 60 inch Demon Claw. I don't like to waste stuff. :)

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

That's gonna be one big flying Noodle Cyborg-B!

[@thedocdodge]

That pool noodle would make a perfect body for a Corsair...

[@karstensiegmarsson5304]

Mat Dodge It does! That was my first thought on seeing the fat noodle being converted to a plane. :O) That woud be nice!

[@jhonnyrestrepo6780]

[@trapdaddy-x5k]

I'm sure you've seen the video of the model 1:22 Airbus that flies extremely slowly. Can you tell me how i could build a plane similar with fitting a space for helium? very interested in the plane

[@killergamer7770]

Coooooooool

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Willy 123 Thaaaaaankyou!

[@su5119]

You know what noodle man....that battery made a big difference. lol

[@vandamnjaunclode9813]

very good job from were you buy the foam sheet

[@RecklessR1ck]

what type of foam can i use for plane

[@RecklessR1ck]

thank you

[@happyturtle997]

Great video! My son and I are gathering all the materials to start building the plane as a Father's Day gift and summer project. We are wondering what is the size of the propeller you used and which motor should we use. Thanks for taking your time to make the video and for your feedback.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Hi . . . Sounds like a great idea Sir. . . Get a mini brushless motor of 1300 to 2300 KV that's kilavolts. . . About 22 to 2mm diamter. Use a 5 to 8 inch prop.

[@careyjaneclark]

My son wants to try this as his first RC plane project. Can you tell us more about the receiver, the speed controller and the battery that ended up being most successful? We live in China, so we have some extra challenges trying to dig up all the supplies. Any details you can provide would be helpful! Thanks for the great, detailed video!

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Carey Jane Clark Yes Ma'am, Use any good 2.4Mhz Radio and receiver, the smaller the better and a 20-30 Amp Speed controller and a 7 to 11 Volt Lipo Battery . . .you Live in the RC Factory of the world so you can find these parts anywhere. Sorry for the late reply Mrs Clark!

[@sammy6770]

Nice one. Could you please tell me the thickness of the carbon rod you use and the thickness of the foam you used for the wings? Thanks.

[@rbilleaud]

I realize you are trying to do this so that even the most novice builder can build one of these planes, but there were times that the descriptions were a little tedious and repetitive. That said, this is an ingenious design and the perfect build for someone who is interested in getting into rc flying without the huge initial investment. The big plus is that when that first crash happens (as it always does when you're first learning) it won't destroy a plane that you've spent hours building and hundreds of dollars on. I'm even thinking of building one for myself to take down to the soccer fields by my house just for fun flying. Heck of a lot easier than bringing my glow powered plane and all that goes along with it for just a few hours of casual flying.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Rob Billeaud Thanks Rob, I want to Make Start-to-finish Build videos to help New builders get into Scratch building! I hope you try and build this plane Rob.

[@williamvaughn2139]

My 5 y/o son and I will try to do this as a project together .

Great job man. Well done. I try to make my own, please tell me can I after make plane put some decorative foill on it to cover wings and body. Than for video.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Djordje Novakovic Thankyou Sir!, I like your Tinfoil idea!

[@1234567895182]

Would it be possible to create a list with the specific parts you have in the video along with quantity?

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

[@waynecampbell9714]

Damn you're really good with that exacto knife anyway could you help me out with an appendix problem I'm currently having because I don't trust doctors but I Trust anybody with RC skills and skills with an exacto blade like you and you clearly have the skills so clearly you are that person so what do you say you want to remove an appendix today? LOL

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

An Appendix? Off the top of my head, I'll charge you under 20K I have a practice down in Los Mochis Mexico. I also own 200 Acres of Dry Farmland next to the Titanic wreck I'd love to see you! LOL ->LMAO!!

[@_mr_z_]

Thank you for the idea. But I am lacking a motor. I have a motor of 500 rmp (approximately) .Will it do?

[@_mr_z_]

I thought so too

[@fikryemane6951]

that is is so awesome. can we paint our RC plane? does it matter?can we put more than 11 volt batteries to stay more longer than 11 volt? that is all what i have thank you for posting this video for us. and my name is Fikr bye

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

but how do you find the center of lift

[@FeWolf]

Cut 2 pieces of 1/2 PVC pipe 3 inches, and insert them on each end on noodle before carbon rod

[@nelsondarwinpaktech3954]

buddy,,,great,,,and what the whitish material is?is it styrofoam......?

[@illuminatedperspectives2894]

You should make the ailerons 2 inches also

[@Beemerdave1]

Hey, what's with the two L1011 fuselages hanging on the wall. I assisted with deliver of the first TWA L1011's in 1972. Beautiful bird, but the DC-10 did better as a commercial carrier.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Beemerdave1 Thankyou Dave! Those are two scratchbuilt L-1011's the PanAm is a 500 and the ANA is a longer 300 series Tristar.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Guys, Friends! I added a Parts List to this Video's Video Description!!! Have a look!

[@illuminatedperspectives2894]

Why dont you laminate the wings for extra stability and extra durability in crashes?

[@ihabahmed1132]

How can i determine the range between the transmitter and the receiver,and what influences this range.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Ihab Ahmed simply make sure your radio and RX Batts are charghed up and you'll be fine . . .keep your plane within 800 feet and your fine!

[@happyturtle997]

Thank you

[@voiceofpeshawar2308]

i would like to know about some formula for the combination of esc motor battery servo etc plz help

[@j357rise5]

Dear Sir DemonDRiver can I askfor the list and the parts that you used to make this awesome Plane thank you in advance sir

[@pxlbudsmooth686]

Do you have to have a y tell adapter for ailerons? I'm more than half way in the build but got stuck on the ailerons. Please reply

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Brad Smooth. Hi Brad. ... are you asking me if you can add a "V" or "Y" tail? Or are you talking about a Y-connector for servo wires?

[@pxlbudsmooth686]

Well I'm asking how did you make the ailerons go opposite direction at the same time?

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Brad Smooth Brad that happens due to the radio and receiver's aileron channel. . . . Your ailerons always move opposite of eachother.

[@pxlbudsmooth686]

I'm sorry I'm asking you so many questions but your helping me a lot in this build. So if I put my servo in channel one where does the other servo go that goes opposite of that direction. Thanks

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+Brad Smooth Brad you need to use a Servo "Y" connector between the right and left aileron servos, then connect that into the aileron channel on your Reciever, Understand Sir?

[@safugam]

Can i use fiberglass with it ??nice job

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

+safu gsm Yes Indeed! Guys, Friends! I added a Parts List to this Video's Video Description!!! Have a look!

[@safugam]

Very thanks

[@gillieskyler]

can you post links for all Eletronic needed in build

[@nnaemekankulume6341]

Do you have to have a canopy? Does it affect anypart of thevs aircraft?

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Nnaemeka Nkulume the canopy is simply drawn onto the depron.. . . And it makes no aerodynamic difference.

[@nnaemekankulume6341]

***** ok thank you

[@brianhaygood183]

How about a parts list? What size prop, motor, servos, ESC, and battery do you like for this model?

[@TheJiminiflix]

I just cut straight to the end ....BOOOM!

[@ShantoMan]

Me Too ;-)

[@haydenclish4452]

is there a way to extend the battery life? I'm trying to use this as a trainer to teach others how to fly a plane that we will use in the future; so we don't want to constantly have to stop and recharge the battery. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful!

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Hayden Clish Hi Hayden . . M the easiest way to extend battery life is go easy on the throttle during flight. . . Another thing is build or fly an aircraft with a long glider-like wingspan.

[@haydenclish4452]

Thanks, good tips. I appreciate the quick response.

[@AllThingsFlightSim]

Where did you get those Stunning L-1011s?

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

***** I made them for scratch SIr, thankyou!

[@DingDangg]

This is a great video and I'm at about 33 07 of it, I am wondering why you left out the tool to cut the canopy piece and the exact measurements to make.....

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Ron S I'm sorry Ron. . . That's a french curve stencil. . Then I used a razor to cut out the canopy.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

so you went from a 2S battery to a 3S and had far better power, correct? on my foam scratch trainer, i think im going to go with 3S. I have quite a bit of front weight due to steerable landing front wheel but it will all balance out. Tricycle landing gear for me due to steerability. Also, ive got one servo per aileron which with 9G servos is just perfect. Servo's only cost $1.80 usd per unit, so i'm using tons of them. I might even add flaps, have you ever worked with flaps? should I put them in place? and could i do one servo for both flaps or would you do two servos?

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Yes, she flew much better with a 3 cell lipo.

[@eliamorgan8908]

LOL, You need to clean that room, LOLOL, It looks like my hobby room, LOLOL

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

I was never made to clean up my room as a Child and now I'm screwed for life LOL

[@logansportpilotrp8174]

Nice plane/video pretty clever,but,dont most 3-d planes have bigger airlerons?well i usually make mine about 1.5 to 1.75", but nice plane none the less.

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

Thanks for commenting! . . It has smaller ailerons because it's a 3D trainer.
