How to Build & Fly a Lightweight RC Pterodactyl | 250g DIY Twin Motor RX42BL Aircraft Guide

Excellent. I built the same model many years ago and it still flies. Great on calm days.

Hey thanks! What motor / prop / battery combo did you use? Have a great day!

[@wad5uk]

@@1nformatica Can't remember what motors and they do not have any markings on them but she runs on a 2s 1000mah battery with 6x4 props. There is a video of it flying on my KZbin channel from 5 years ago.

@@wad5uk They look like EMAX motors, certainly more "umpff" than my setup!!

Wow! It flies better than I imagined! 😮 Great work, my friend!!! Merry Christmas! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@1nformatica]

Thanks Mario! No one was more surprised than me when it flew! Have a great Christmas and hope to see some new content from you soon, make it a New Year's resolution?!

@1nformatica I never make those... I tried once, but forgot after a week and only remembered about it in the end of the year. 😬 BUT... This year I finally could pay my biggest debts, from the constructions I did... The ones that I'm still paying aren't that high and I pay monthly. And I believe I'm going to be able to finish them next July. So, in short, next year I'm going to have more money every month, so as soon as I can I'm going to buy a new PC. Then I'm definitely going to be back. 😊

@@MCsCreations ¡Ay Amigo! I feel for your situation. No need to buy a new computer, beg, borrow or steal one!! Computers are the same as cameras, the best one is the one you have!!! Um abraço.😀

[@1nformatica]

Thanks! I aim to soar high-both with my builds and my pterodactyls. Just trying to avoid becoming a ‘grounded’ creator!

Looks right at home amongst the other Old Fossils there! And glad to see that you've got the Outback Aussie Wave down pat. Should help when the family decide that Spain is not far enough and the "remittance" goes to Woop-Woop Sheep Station on the Outer Barcoo where Churches are few and RC Clubs are scanty! 😜🤣🤣 Apologies to A B Patterson! 🙄

[@1nformatica]

Well. as I also hold a New Zealand passport I'd probably be shot on sight!! Born in Otahuhu, not far from Bruce Simpson land!!! Don't tell anyone!

Just an FYI: The recommended Hextronic motors have been discontinued.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

For our mash-up twins we just strip the 2/3 cell motors and ESCs out of older no longer used quadcopters. Not having a printer we use thin aluminium angle extrusion for making up the motor mounts. Stiff enough for service but you can bend it to get the correct motor angles (and re-bend it after an "unscheduled arrival"!) 😜🙄😂

The motors I used are linked in the video description. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
