How to make Slow Flyer RC Plane DIY

[@Sayemur_Rahman]

What is the glue?🙄

[@walterdennisclark]

I had that question too. And you must be an American because the Titan Wild is not available here and in fact the Titan Wild he is using is contact cement and I can only find Titan Glue for concrete blocks on the internet. I use Foam Tac from Beacon on my work with sheet foam.

[@NumaVIG]

I think UHU Por is much easier to find

[@bayboos]

In fact it is. And on this side of the pond, it is considered to be the go-to glue for all kinds of foam (and foam-anything else combinations).

Thank you for no music, great lighting and no focus hunting. The perfection in everything is just amazing. Everything so neat and xlean. Amazing. I usually play most long build video like this at low volume and 1.25 speed. But with yours I had the volume on and normal speed. The experience is immersive. Thank you for making this into an art.

[@MrHristoB]

Amazing!! I like the silence of creativity (no silly music in the background) just tools at work. Well done!!

[@michaelwatkins3842]

Unbelievable the last post was three years ago. I’m behind. Awesome build man, as all of your builds. I’m currently building the Hydro version now, trying to make sense of the plans and combining aspects of both. It’s a fun project to build and I’m looking forward to flying it. It’s so slow and peaceful. Thank you for sharing

[@echobot]

Fantastic work. Instead of using sandbags, in the 'old' days when we built balsa wood models, we used pins to hold pieces together while the glue dried. When dry, you just pull out the pins and there's only a little hole left which gets filled when you paint the model or cover it with a film. You can make all sorts of odd shapes hold together that way and if you need more strength, just use more pins. If the parts want to pull apart, just put the pins in at an angle.

[@daviddavids2884]

okay. and, i will just ignore the MAJOR splitting of balsa components !!!! doh

[@mrromantimothy]

I've actually built an RC airplane once back in the 80's using the paper plans from a Do it yourself kit everything was a pattern in the same dimensions, I went to a hobby shop and bought a bunch of balsa wood using sharp razors and hacksaw Blades. I was able to build and lay out every part it was a lot of fun, it flew just like the one in the kit ,I'm going to do it again

[@anonymoushippo5415]

What I love about your videos is that you play crappy background music like everyone else on KZbin. And your builds are great.

[@troutbassncat3025]

Pure craftsmanship. Not just in the building of the plane, but also in the way you showed how to do it.

[@bd764]

Brilliant techniques!! I like the sand bag "clamps" that conform to the shape of the wings.

[@davescopes249]

Are you actually kidding. Some of the sanding and cutting made my teeth go on edge. But I don't think I've ever watched a video so intensely in all my life. You sir are a genius. I've got and fly many radio controlled planes and I love large slow flying planes. I would love one the same as yours. I consider myself to be pretty good when it comes to DIY and this sort of thing and I've built many radio controlled planes from kits. But I'm amazed at how you made that look so easy. Lol. I'm gobsmacked. I've subscribed 👍

Greetings from over here in the states love your video I'm actually starting to build my own airplane from junk around me even made my own propellers, one with wood and one with aluminum they work great, taking motors from a DVD playerI certainly will find a RC car or something to scavenge the electronics here's a tip I have for all involved from my model rocket program days when gluing use a dab of Super Glue on both ends it will act as a clamp.

[@jamesburnett7085]

Very impressive skills, not just building, but the videography is excellent, too.

[@worroSfOretsevraH]

13:45 If I see correctly, you have to make the polyhedral part's root about 1cm wider. So when you sand it to the right angle, it will fit perfectly with the middle section wing part.

[@747_m5]

Thank thank thank thank yoouuu for not having really loud annoying music in the background

[@bobwebber8521]

I picked up a couple of good tips here thank you. One thing I would have done is make support for the push rods to prevent flex. Will d/l the plans as it looks like fun.

[@daviddavids2884]

agree. but, usually, wood/bamboo is sufficiently stiff; to a length of about one foot, or so. then, a single Guide, at the pushrod midpoint, would do the job.

[@alexmfontes]

I envy people that can be this patient. It must be a real pleasure...

[@timn4481]

the key tothe build is the aerofoil. everything else is standard plane building. good job no doubt, but the motor and prop, combined with the shape of the foil gives it the slow speed. i love slow flyers..thought the tail assembly was a little too complex. couldve just glued it to the top surface.

[@eriklapparent4662]

Super design.Impressive method of constrution.You should make a kit and sell it worldwide.Congratulations from France!

[@nickcaci7238]

Best tutorial video I have ever seen nicely done and a cleverly engineered model.

[@terrancewilhite9260]

Back in the 60's, the AMA had the "builder of the model" rule. You had to prove you had built from a kit or plans to compete. These days, attaching wings and tail just does not mean building to me. Glad to see someone who truly builds a model.

[@ace53464f32]

I love the wing hold down straps. You get an A+ for that one.

[@wattwaster5936]

I see a lot of attention to keeping the build very lightweight even though it is also fragile. The fact it will only fly slow with the small motor should help prevent over stressing the airframe. I like watching slow and graceful fliers, even if the only days they can fly are very calm and breeze limited.

[@daviddavids2884]

[@yobrojoost9497]

Very nice! I'm converting a cheap handthrown polystyrene glider into a brushless powered RC model at the moment. I'm using a 4 channel kit that I took out of a Tiger Moth park flyer. The Moth looks beautiful but doesn't fly too great and I don't want to damage it. Hope to get some flying fun out of this little project. Wish me luck!

[@Ucceah]

this was a pure joy to watch. it really shows, that as much work and dedication went into the vodeo, as tha plane itself.

Технология изготовления крыла интересная. Вместо дефицитной бальзы можно использовать деревянную липовую линейку, а вместо авиационной фанеры фанеру от ящиков импортных фруктов - она сделана из какого-то лёгкого дерева, возможно даже из бальзы. Ещё могу порекомендовать вклеить изнутри носовой части фюзеляжа, от моторамы по бортам, разрезанную по диагонали линейку - это в разы увеличивает механическую устойчивость к втыканиям в землю.

[@dimmon3991]

[@BartJBols]

At that speed and with those kinds of thrust i think you might get more bang for your buck on the lift department if you made the aerofoil more top chambered. I have no idea if it would cause other issues though.

Well done. I also make compress styrofoam aircraft. The current one is a tailess swept wing design for high speed chase. Therefore only 2 servos required. The weight will be below 250gm and powered by 3S at 10amps max power. Cruising current around 7amps . Still under construction. 80 percent completed the wing and airframe.

[@dragopovse6998]

NumaVIG AWESOME plane !!!!!!! What is a white foam for construction you use ? About 5 mm Depron ?

[@NumaVIG]

4 mm XPS foam, maybe this is Depron analog, I don't know, I never used Depron

[@soliv27]

Thank you for sharing plans, experience and a detailed description crafting video. I have been thinking about a slow floating plane. Do you think it could be possible to lift the plane from water with a low speed or is it necessary to achieve high speed to 'jump above the wave' and unglue the hull ? I find the floatplane you design very nice and efficient but very fast to me as a contemplative model to fly above a calm lake. Is there a way to engineer such a low hydroplane ? Maybe not as slow as this one above but closer to this... Slow speed challenge for models appears to me as exciting as high speed quite easier if I understand reynolds number.. Maybe for a slower hydroplane a thinner hull would help. With a longer flatter front hull part before the cut. Associated with a Decreasing V shape. Just wondering :) Hope to read some advice and see your next creation whatever it is. (A suggestion if ever you would need it, about a real bird model, either eagle type, or see bird, or kind of crane, more original) Have good flights and crafting !

[@NumaVIG]

high speed is required for take off from water and drops of water on the tail change the center of gravity

[@soliv27]

@@NumaVIG Thanks for the info about the CG and wet tail changing it, I did not think about it. Device like hydrofoil could allow a slow take off. Then put up like gears for landing.

[@Евгений-э9ы5и]

Доброго времени суток! Ищу нечто подобное, двухмоторное. Случайно нет в планах, или из готовых проектов? И ещё вопрос - угол установки крыла как-то рассчитывался? И с каким углом установлен стабилизатор? Самолёт получился просто шикарный. Стилизовать бы ещё под полукопию.

[@NumaVIG]

зачем два мотора? там и один тянет с запасом, тем более лишний вес. Все углы экспериментально и по наитию, померить можно на чертежах

[@Евгений-э9ы5и]

Нет, дело не в недостатке тяги, а просто двухмоторное, пузатое, стилизованное под какой нибудь транспортник, чтоб по небу как дирижабль плыл.))) А вопрос по крылу возник, потому как на чертеже оно под очень непривычным углом установлено

[@Евгений-э9ы5и]

Ещё вопросик возник: радиус стапеля зависит от размера хорды крыла? Если да, то как?

[@NumaVIG]

@@Евгений-э9ы5и наверно зависит, на предыдущем прототипе радиус был больше, летал быстрее. Я сделал реально медленный и легкий слоуфлаер в точности по выложенным чертежам. Кто хочет может вносить изменения, под свою ответственность но как он при этом будет летать, я без понятия. Если сравнивать мои #2 и #3, разница в 36 г и увеличенным изгибом профиля очень существенна.

great work.. beautiful plane.. however being a slow flyer the buzzing noise of the tiny motor is somewhat of a problem.. remenbering indoor slow flyier or old rubber motor.. how about a bigger prop and a slow motor..!

[@jsbtokyo3765]

Very interesting but the construction method is slightly complicated for a beginner. Those who want to simplify it with a very little penalty in performance, could use the wing section with flat bottom (eventualy the upper surface of trailing edge overhangs for 2 cm) and reinforce structural critical points, for example the internal white sheet of fuselage and the upper surface of fuselage to to be extended 5 cm further the trailing edge (in opposit direction) to avoid the abrupt interruption of the structure (+2 g? but much better).
