How to Build a Super Simple RC Airplane for Beginners

[@jackjuhasz533]

I'm 78 and building since 5 years . your build is amazing and a perfect video ! Thanks, and many more years to you !

[@EricRobb]

Thanks for watching! Have a great day!!

[@julianstuckey4114]

Building a first plane I love how little accurate it needs to be, thanks for giving me a confidence boost.

[@EricRobb]

Yeah, it really is not rocket science. Hope your build goes well!

[@hyperdeez]

​@@EricRobbthe irony cus it kinda is 😂

[@youknoweverything7643]

Foam board planes are very simple to build by hand with out plans to trace just some simple folds and big enough wing with dihedral and big enough vertical and horizontal stabs is the biggest thing cause if it's to small it's not gonna fly well

[@mesiroy1234]

Wood is hard to with , its need.ungoldy ammount of sanding

[@Red_Whitenblu]

Isn't it amazing how some of the most important things constantly get overlooked or underestimated, but retailers will have you believe that failure is the only road to success. So if you crash your RC plane, it's not because nobody told you about center of gravity or nothing. Just keep buying our planes at $300 a pop. You'll eventually get one that flies itself. 😅

[@nathansharp3193]

I like the 30 minute build anyone can do.👍 Most KZbinrs spend 40 hours making a design, CNC cutting components from carbon fiber, installing 3-D printed parts, and doing all sorts of crazy electronic control systems and data recorders. I like this project because I could do it this weekend if I wanted to. It might even take me three hours.

[@EricRobb]

100% Great point! Good luck on your build. Have a great day!!

[@instant_mint]

Wow it flew so so well!! Can you make a video for complete beginners, where you explain measurements or sizing, materials and where to get them, and how the electronics operate etc?

[@Cheezedude]

There is a guy that explains a lot of rc basics. Just search KendinYap, lots of beginner tutorials on there that have measurements. Keep in mind it will take longer to build those models

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Thanks for showing another down and not so dirty DIY foam plane.

[@EricRobb]

Glad you like it! Feel free to check out some more videos on my channel, and let me know what you would like to see coming up. Have a great day!

[@youknoweverything7643]

This is exactly how I been making mine for years even a few years before flite test existed. I was making foam board rc planes when I was 10 in 2002. Now it's easier because we have access to really cheap smaller lighter electronics and motors . Building a plane when I was 10 consisted of balsa and plans back in 2002 cuse foam planes was junk and not to great like we have now in arf abd rtf planes. So of you wanted a good sturdy abd great flying trainer back then we had to build them with balsa then get someone on a buddy box to teach you to fly cuse all this gyro stuff abd stabilizers didn't exist so only way to learn was either buddy box with a 40 to 50 inch wingspan trainer plane or learn on your own abd crash and spend another month building another plane. I'm 30 years old now and love being g able to build a quick trainer plane in matter of a hour or two or all the balsa arfs thats out now and all the beautiful amazing foam scale looking planes that's out now is amazing. Cost of learning to fly is about a quarter of what it use to cost when I was learning in 02 at age of ten. Dad bought ne 5 trainer balsa kits abd we built all of them except one abd after I crashed the third one I was able to fly on my own with no problems. And no my dad was not a rc plane pilot when I was learning we learned together. I still fly way better then he does. But he is really good at building and has 52 balsa planes built abd ready to fly hanging on walls and ceilings of our climate controlled work shop om his back yard that is the size of a 5 car shop. Abd still building he us. He has built every balsa kit off of bang good and I have flown all of then atleasy once and they all fly perfect like they are on rails. They are laser cut no plans to build onto of cuse they jig together tightly then then you glue it. The instructions suck but not to hard to figure out andnqorth it cuse theybfly nicely

[@M16beastman]

well, ive wanted to build an rc plane since i was 13 watching FliteTest. 11 years later I finally ordered the parts to make my first one thanks to this video

[@FrontWaffle]

Is it worth it? I really wanna build a plane but I see cheap Chinese planes for 20$

[@Londrino]

If you can find a cheap 4 channel plane for $20 go for it, but building one out of foam board is going to be even cheaper and gives you the flexibility to make any repairs or modifications you need just by cutting out a new piece of foam

[@thomase.8049]

Selling can everywhere, building can only people with Profession!

[@donrusnak7230]

Balsa is alot more durable than one who never built on would think, even good flying ones will occasionally hit hard, and surprisingly it takes a REALLY hard hit to damage them. Balsa is weak, but once constructed and covered, its pretty strong and very rewarding once done. I reccommend it for any airplane enthusiast.

[@EricRobb]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ruslan_yefimov]

Once you discover how easy it is to make dozens of wing ribs with a singular template, 2 bolts and piece of balsa with a wood router, you can start mass-producing good balsa airplanes in hours :) Just use right materials and right techniques

[@fromthebackofmymind]

My first plane was a control line cox ju87d stuka. All plastic nitro model. Next was a Big Otto Balsa kit. And a little satan control line balsa kit. I crashed all of them.

[@GENESUTUBE69]

TAKES ME AN HOUR JUST TO HOOK UP CONTROLLS AND PROGRAM RADIO AND I HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR 40 YEARS

[@siggyretburns7523]

Thats exactly what I did. 2 sheets of foamboard ($2 a pop) hot glue and cellophane tape. Its sure beats the crap out paying $100 for a piece of shit only to crash it 20 minutes later. I made dozens of them. I should make a video too. Good video 👍

[@hendrikdebruin4012]

I bought a real expensive RC plane 8 years ago - Piper Cub as I always wanted a RC plane but could never afford one. I DO NOT want to fly that one as I have never flown a RC plane. So this could be a great way to learn - if you crash it within 10 seconds no loss at all. BTW I am 67.... time to start working on that (cheap) bucket list....

There was a simple foam board kit plane available in the 1990s called the Folding Flyer. Very similar to your plane but had a Jedelsky airfoil wing. Used a Norvel 0.49 glow engine. A pretty good flyer too. I build a replica out of foarm board which flew a little better than the the original.

I looked it up, it means the battery he recommends has a deans connection (shape of the prongs for the plug), while the linked ESC (speed controller) is comes with a XT60 connector (The female side of a different shaped plug). You can actually just buy a battery that already has an XT connector and save your self from getting the adapter.

[@EricRobb]

Nice work! I'm doing one this weekend.

[@EricRobb]

Great, how did it go?

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

@@EricRobb I got side tracked with other jobs... I did however get a chance to go out and fly my glider on father's day which was nice. I'll try again this weekend

[@Neardrop]

@@aSpyIntheHaus did it go well?

[@Noel.Aviation]

Can you send me the plans? I want to start building!

[@EricRobb]

There are some details in the Description. My Foam Board Sheets are 20" x 30", so you can get an idea of the sizes from that. Happy Building! If you want plans for rc planes looks here: forum.flitetest.com/index.php?resources/ft-tiny-trainer.126/

I wanted a rc airplane since i was 7 and im 12 and i still wish i had one

[@HanshaniLavanya1]

Great video. BTW I'm proud to say that none of my planes have ever crashed. Just because they never fly 😂

[@nandithairiyagolle6370]

Sorry but may I have an explanation of the circuitry and what goes to what?

[@EricRobb]

Yeah for sure! Check out this video I made about the electronics: RC Plane Electronics 101: A Beginner's Guide to Wiring and Connections kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHKWfamcaJVko68

I can't figure out why none of my rc planes fly. They are all light (made of foam board about 350g with batt), have a 700g of thrust motor (8060 prop), have large control surfaces and wing spans, yet they all take off, fly about 8-12 mph and have no control (rolling or vertical). I can even see the control surfaces working well with my controller during a "flight." Any ideas?????

[@EricRobb]

Send me a picture to [e-mail] and I might be able to help more. Have a great day!
