Luke Rosevear they have free plans on their website and they use dollar tree foam board and hot glue. you can build a plane for a few bucks! the electronics can get pricey but look for used stuff in your area or try hobbyking.com. it is not cheap but it is not as expensive as most people think.

That sounds really good, I might start flight RC but what goes up must come down. lol, ill start off with a simulator. :)
@iampapahomer38658 жыл бұрын
Luke Rosevear crashes happen and thats ok. learn from it, rebuild and try again. rc simulators are alot of fun. practice, have fun, crash and hit the reset button and youre ready to go again.

Yeah, man that's small. When I was about 12 yrs old, I was grounded to my room for a while. I wanted to be able to fly my plane, but you can't fly a Piper Tripacer with a 53.24" wingspan in a BEDROOM. SO, I designed a MINI BI-PLANE, and used some of my scrap Balsa wood to build it. I made it a 3"inch wingspan, and fuselage about 3.25 length. I made it a MINI GLIDER, I used a brad nail for nose weight. It could do a loop, and glide. Flying it in my bedroom. Ha. Ha. Yes it was cool.

Sorry but the Hobbyzone Duet is the winner here. I have priced the night vapor. The cheapest vapor is still $30 more than the Duet. The Duet is truly RTF. Everything you need to fly within 30 mins of purchase(time to charge battery) is in the box. It flies in a field or in a yard. It will even carry a small camera. Durability is also amazing. If it does break, it can be fixed with gorilla glue. I keep expecting to have to buy a new plane every time I crash and the darn thing just won't die. Moreover the Duet is very very easy to fly. It helps build confidence in new pilots regardless of their age and that in turn leads to success and a more enjoyable experience and increases the chance that the hobby will grow. I have nothing against the other planes on the list. They're all fine, but the Duet is just everything in a perfect little package. Also it looks good and tracks like its on rails.

I recently bought a hobbyzone duet and it flies surprisingly well! Here in Spain we're having a lot of wind lately, but that's not a problem for the duet. You can even glide with it because its engines will make it turn even with no throttle. I would totally recommend it.

Nice video! This is a good guide for beginners, but I notice Josh Scott is hitting the elevator quite hard on the vapor. This might have changed since I got my Vapor, but they generally like a low amount of elevator. Also, I can say the Vapor does fly well, as I have over 500 hours of flight time on mine. One tip I can share, is that Cling wrap is a great substitute skinning if you rip the original. Cover it slowly, super glue it, then cut away the excess. Hope this helps some one, and thanks for posting!

Considering downloading the plans and making your own. That's what I did (with lots of advice from good people at www.rcgroups.com admittedly). While speed build kits must be cool, you would anyway need to glue, cut, solder the electronics, install servos and pushrods and all of that. The first plane I made is an FT Flyer,because I loved the shape, it is not too hard to build from plans. But, now I am making another one easier to fly, and I will spend some time flying that. Josh makes it look easy, because he is such a good pilot, but I think the FT flyer is not necessarily the best first plane to learn on, other designs are more forgiving for a beginner and faster to repair or simply to rebuild from scratch for the cost of a few bucks of foam, which is important because at first you will probably crash quite a few times
