How to build a RC plane for $10 ( part 2 )

This is the maiden flight of the scratch built Cess-nah!!. I flew it first then took the camera and let someone else flyit. It's flying on a 2200 mah 3 cell lipo and 25 amp ESC. I have flown it on 1300mah 3s but you only get about 8 min. You get about 18 on the 2200.

Come on people, he's obviously talking about just the plane. I think he even mentioned the motor and electronics are extra. Great plane build, creative and practical. Thanks for sharing your methods!

[@willwinn8559]

woodstoney Most people who would attempt a build from scratch Already have a couple planes , And most likely spare parts already..

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

Was there something about the landing that you didn't want to show? ;-)

[@Spawn4ever]

Great tutorial. Working on my first foamy myself. Thank you for taking the time to shoot and post this segment. For the madden flight - somebody needs shooting lessons. Tough to watch lol

[@MillsIan]

great video, great to see someone do this, plenty of people do the talk but few do the walk, well done man.

[@lunageologist]

This really gives me an idea for my proof of concept for a full size aircraft. Thanks for the Videos.

[@tomview1]

Congrats Tinman - thats what aeromodelling is all about!! Love your work!!

[@ib422000]

I applaud you for your approach to RC flying, and agree wholeheartedly that building it from scratch and actually flying it makes all the difference!!

[@m727200]

Love the plane flies like a champ :) love how cheap it was to build too. turned out beautiful :)

[@surgicalshot1]

$10?? WOW! You did a great job not only keeping the price minimal, but you went the extra mile to make it look wonderful. Really nice job! Thanks for showing how you made it.

[@spencermel]

your vids are the best i've seen of homemade electric planes! Thank you,I'm gonna make one now,using your design.This is cool!

[@nathanmeitzler]

Flys nice for a homemade plane!! Nice job it is great to see people that are really into the hobby!!!

[@kustomking101]

Man that was nothing short of AWSOME! Thank you.

[@AndroidUmair]

Just loved the way it took off !

[@Bazanteria]

superb idea for the covering and painting. great job !

[@youtwoba]

Excellent work and looks like it flies great! Awesome job!

[@techserv1028]

Fantastic Job. I'm gonna try to build one. Thanks for sharing.

[@MultiCreasey]

Brilliant, great work. Really clear video as well.

[@irwanadinatha]

well done !! this actually make this hobby more affordable, And the plane looks good too !!!

[@yoonayounis]

thanks for posting such beautiful work like this.

[@Slider2732]

Great videos. Enjoyed the build and the flying :)

[@UKMike2009]

It flies just great. Good job Sir.

[@Zener_Diode]

I know Im about 8 years late on seeing and commenting but FML that is a super cool build and inspiring af! Home Depot here I come!!!!

[@hifinsword]

Great videos, parts 1 & 2. Gives me some confidence I can build one of these too. I think the hardest part will be getting the 4x8' sheet of foam into the car. Great comment about NOT using the Foam-safe or regular CA on this stuff. I crash a lot so I'll probably use some fiberglass sheetrock joint tape (glued with FoamTac) under the cowl, chin area before covering with paper or clear packing tape. Thanks.

[@Jimgoodwin846]

This is a great video. Thanks again.

[@jeffreydan]

I was waiting for the landing lol But awesome job. Appreciate the video.

[@imikewillrockyou]

That a great RC. Nice work!

[@tombrown8829]

Nice project. Proves anyone can do this. Thanks for the vids

[@kenmtb]

Fantastic build. Great flying, you did a heck of a job. Darn those %$!#% nitros and their pompous noise!

[@oldfogey100]

Nice tinman. I'm still pretty new to the foamy built planes and seem to learn more with every build. You gave me some ideas with this build. I'll have to dig out my hotglue gun and try a few things. Thank you.

[@toolzshed]

wow look at it go!!! Great build!!!

[@sunilkumarpvasudevan]

Excellent! good work guys! really inspiring Thanks

[@bdub805]

great job man plane looks great

[@willwinn8559]

Fantastic job , 😀👍

[@BPFLY417]

Great looking plane!

[@gatorman22]

You, sir, are a craftsman.

[@Made4War666]

Freaking Awesome Dude! , planning on building my own brush-less motor / plane in the near future! really killer plane! must be amazingly satisfying to have something you built at home take flight, congrats on the build keep it up! maybe add another video explaining the detail of a brush-less motor or wiring servos in that would also be killer! thanks again! , so subscribing!

[@homebuiltindoorplane]

man you hit it right on the head the whole thing, thats exactly what you can do with that stuff in exactly that manner and have a really nice plane! And way more proud of it than any 'store bought' plane. I have made hundreds of foam rc planes, including full size real ones You should spend 15 bucks and get a s107g heli off of amazon. Indoor and a gyro its so much fun you would love it. It beats my $1500 hirobo hands down. Plus it makes great guts for 30 thrust depron jobs. thanks loved it!

[@Zora_HSPU]

very very impressive you have great creativity very nice plane.

[@bigjoker4u]

thanks for the effort you put into building and videoing by your self I know how much work it was and thanks for a great idea

[@Dagrond]

Good looking plane.

[@georgekeefe4562]

Great build and fly. Author is correct, the 4x8 foam was for me $10.99. After I added all the other stuff: receiver, landing gear, ESC, motor, propeller, servos, etc., the total cost was about $370. One can purchase an eflite apprentice with a 5 channel transmitter for $299. But it was fun to build and fly...I did learn a lot. G. Keefe post

[@panaanton2334]

You can get all that for under 50 bucks mate

[@MrK9ranger]

Great job!

[@NANA-qc5ui]

very nice job,i'm going to have to try this. THANK YOU

[@AdityaSingh-ux2py]

awesome work dude!

[@daddymikegaming5813]

Great video

[@PHM00]

Great Job! That's impressive!

[@LTF85199]

beautiful plane, well done!

[@ronaldwitt972]

Great job

[@rodhall9346]

Well done mate

[@keyvanmohajertaleghani2725]

Very Nice Job

[@appcarpenter1]

Thankyou, I now have ideas for a ducted fan...normally I'm a Homedepo fan but off to lowe's I go.

[@maicodoug]

Way to go THExxxTINMAN ! Scratch builders are folks that just gave it a try. For you all out there that are trying to copy this, well all I have to say is that this guy is showing his building style, not so much exactly how to do it with plans and the like. Almost all the questions asked are already covered in the video. Review carefully. I have actually had good luck with rolling up foam board with inside cuts to aid the folding. Extreamly cheap & light. Good work TINMAN!

[@RJDCR]

beautiful , thank you for building

[@redjeans28]

awesome man. I'm gonna start to make one for myself very next week!

[@MrCOOKIEMONSTA4]

wow, just brilliant thats so sick.

[@daquilema2011]

Thanks for sharing.

[@edge13429]

Really liked the simplicity of your presentation. I can get caught up with some of the complexities of this hobby and after watching your vid, have been possitively refreshed. Thanks and will be watching more of your vids. Oh do you mind informing us of some dimensions?

[@jr10158]

great looking plane I do rc cars but I see me doing a plane. Great video

[@mybluebelly]

Nice job !

[@pidner]

Good job!

[@wilfru1]

your still the meister plane builder hats off again luv your vids having said that the models have become so cheap anymore short of pulling the few strands of hair out thats left i will remain a watcher of your vids and a rtf pilot thanx pls keep up the good vids thanx wilfred

[@aaroncunningham79]

That is the best looking gabd built plane on youtube

[@drdirt1965]

This build was very inspiring,.... for the xtra $2 that was over budget I would've liked to have seen some aerobatics since the plane did look very capable. I believe this is a great beginners platform for learning to fly 'cause there wouldn't be much $ lost after they ultimately bury it in the ground. motor and radio gear can almost always be salvaged. Great job!

[@zagonielod]

Beautiful model airplane sir! Congratulations! It also flies very nicely! :) Great job! ;)

[@nissarshaikh3338]

Very nice

[@PatrickD521]

Verry cool...gr8 job

[@chutdigadut]

this is awesome!

[@connickjoseph]

I am so proud of you....no kidding keep up the Great work.....Joe Connick

[@eltonq]

Job well done

[@LiveTheLimit]

you just inspired me. Thanks!

[@thomaschiappisi3726]

excellent!!!!!! thanks!!!

[@sjones502]

Nice plane thumbs up

[@ChrisJensen1958]

i thought well done, flight.. i watch the birds just drop of the wires up high.. Open their wings and it just seems like they float.. cheers chris

[@diggydice9041]

An amazing piece of craftsmanship there..... I'm looking to buy my 1st plane but I've got no workspace to do all the work you did. I've got confidence that I could work w/ the materials but what I know nothing about is the components to control the thing? And I don't have a clue about the radio to fly it either. 3-4 channel ? Awww I'll figure it out some day. Great work, inspirational

[@ytcsabidealer8387]

Hi diggy dice If you need any help in foam board planes pleas check out flite test they have a youtube channel and a web page, they are all about foam planes 1.first steps 2.full build videos 3. free dowloadable plans 4.crazy planes Esc there just amazing with just planes in generale EDIT: I hope this helped

[@BCUltimateRC]

awesome bro!!! you earned my sub!!

[@m1leswilliams]

Great video, but get your camera man / woman tested for Parkinsons.

[@spectrospirit]

Nice one. I have a big one in mind, a twin tail, should be able to take some load as well. I gotta find myself a steel wire and make a cutting tool lol :)

[@carlosalvim5105]

vERY NICE pLANE i LOVE IT! Xongratulations !

[@yaboyfoxxx1558]

Nice bro

[@prebaned]

I want the dounuts the lady is making.....LOL Great job. I will attemp this with a built in spar between foam halfs of wing. Pleas show how the servo linkage is hooked up for the ailerons. Super job!! PS. your camera person must be "let go" LOL...

[@youronlycow]

Yes you can. A rudder will be nice though, helps smoothen turns, make them sharper and will give you more overall control of the aircraft. It'll also help in landing. Not essential to fly for ordinary aircrafts like this one, but good to have.

[@st0pvide0]

Awsome job gonna use some of the ideas in the build on my next scratchbuild. Btw he was talking about the airframe coasting 10$ not the whole plane

[@danielbwills]

It flies so good that it blurrs out from time to time.

[@kastro4460]

I was thinking about making my plane out of 5mm thick foam, but after looking how easy and cheap was this (as well as it looks easier to work with this thicker foam) I think I'll try to make one on my own, maybe an A6M Zero, nice job man! your plane is awesome! ;)

[@guruji243]

Good idea regarding brown paper with glue to make it more stronger. Thanks I will do this.

[@faltooweb]

Awesome plane!!. Could you share the plans or a link to the plans, for the plane?

Really nice build. I noticed that the camera is a $10 too but all-in-all nice build!

[@nixonpunk222]

so sick excellent job, screw all the haters there just jealous of your skills

[@ThePedro8161]

Is it possible to cut out a 'cockpit' and just put a camera in it and fly it places? Like a drone.... Wait, is that legal? XD

[@thewanderer916]

hey, thanks for this video. its very cool. but, how do you know how to properly shape your wings so they will be aerodynamic?

[@denrog22]

How about a set of plans ,I would love to build this plane.
