Miss the old intro.

[@therc4784]

Me too

[@Dashierez]

I miss vids likes this...the intro and just everything.

[@LightsCameraandLego]

By far the most watch flite test video for me.

[@voyhager3]

Are you guys going to move all of the build videos to this channel so it is more organized?

[@therc4784]

All the build videos have been on this channel for a while, but now they are not going to do as many build videos in depth because they have a new thing called simple mapping and there is a whole playlist on how to learn how to do simple mapping. But they are still going to do a lot of build videos just not as much I think

[@voyhager3]

@@therc4784 I know about symbol mapping and the new format, I was asking about the old old build videos from the main channel

[@Wikkid2daCOR]

This is what started it all for me... or to be precise this is what rekindled the spark. After smashing up a few painstakingly built balsa planes in my youth I'd mostly given up on rc planes. Seeing how easily things could be build made me realize that even crashes could be fun if you could knock out another plane by the next weekend.

[@danelle9767]

plz help, im building a pod but learnt that the motor needs to be installed in a certain angle, but what should i do to make it right?

[@MASTER_FLYERSLK]

What is the best plane to make with 1400kv brushless motor, 30A ESC ? (for biginner)?

[@suryawarior]

So early that youtube say "no view" Btw why reupload?

[@keith6917]

Taking us way back

[@aviralsahay1]

You guys already made it in simple cub video..thanks once again to sharing this! Great stuff!!

[@thusharabro9349]

links not working

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome! Thanks a lot! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@emmytos6802]

Please can you please list the most important thing I need to consider when building a power pod

[@Wikkid2daCOR]

The exact angle depends on the individual plane but with a standard prop you should have the motor point down and to the right a litte bit. A shim on the top right mounting hole (as you look at the plane from the front) should help you get started. The plane will still fly if the thrust angle is off a little. When you got itvtrimmed out flying straigh and level and cutting the throttle makes it dive or climb you will know which way you need to adjust your motor. That said, if you have built your pod from a set of FT plans it will already be slightly asymmetrucal to compensate.

[@stephencantbewrong8250]

Thanks for all the help!

[@TrailcamsRCPhotoFlying2000]

Did I miss the part where he installed the two skewers which hold the landing gear ? So I eyeballed the distances in the video and used 1.25" from the front for the first skewer and 1.25" behind that for the second one. I made the holes towards the bottom so the skewers rest on the floor of the pod and shouldn't elongate the holes. My Nutball just balances with a 2s 500 even with the firewall.

[@Orthodoxuk]

Can anyone suggest a lipo, available in the UK, as currently none of the variations are available by any manufacturer?

[@esiocosta]

for us Brazilians it is difficult to make aeros with your plants, this depron is not sold here with paper, it would be good for you to also make plants for dry depron.

[@mohammadmahiristehad9196]

Why is the video capped at 720p tho?

[@lifeofabronovich7792]

This was filmed almost 10 years ago. It’s just a reupload from their main channel.

[@alessandronovello4754]

Chiedo per cortesia qual è il nome tecnico di questo tipo di foam Grazie

[@emmytos6802]

Please where can I get white foam board online Because it's hard to get here

[@Orthodoxuk]

What wire is used for the under-carraige?

[@mhalokikon4941]

Can I make the propeller run clockwise instead of counterclockwise?

[@austenelectricalsolutions3492]

Swap any two of 3 leads on the esc to motor!

[@esiocosta]

this construction with this depron and hot glue makes the model heavy. not to mention that this upright box, the model is weak in the central part of the box and due to the weight of the model. a little bang on the curb the model broke in half.

[@nyafu_uwu]

Why twice

[@mikeinlutz]

Did you stop selling the white foam board

[@lifeofabronovich7792]

Yeah, they only sell the brown which is water resistant. You can get the white stuff at dollar tree if you live in the US

[@AddictedRC]

Yes, they stopped selling the FT Maker Foam, due to vender quality issues. If the issues can be resolved, it could return later.

[@cjoe5977]

This video was made back in the day where they would go to dollar tree to buy foam

[@tinybloodywonder]

so where is free plans?
