Making DIY Pontoons / floats for an RC Airplane

[@aparajitaroy1497]

And cool plane + nice pontoons

[@bobwebber8521]

Excellent video. Just the right balance. One place where the water usually gets in is the water rudder post hole. You were spot on filling the floats with foam - very little extra weight and insurance against total sinking plus it would give extra strength length-wise in the float. Look forward to more.

Tanks for your information..

I recently build the simple free flight glider and I have to say, its an amazing plane and flies great

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Another great build and flight, young fellah! Almost tempted to get out of my rocking chair and try to build something. :D

[@xhiantadena6154]

Is that you theo

[@joelspangler]

Great project, looks and works great. I've been playing with colored wing tape (which I got from hobbyking) to make my foamboard creations look nicer. It's basically shipping tape that is colored, but also very thin and light. That might help with the discolorations some of your foaming glue caused as well as additional waterproofing. It looks to me like you are using too much elevator in your water take-offs - you want the plane to kind of lift/bounce itself off the water when it has enough speed to break surface tension. Try to only use enough elevator to prevent prop strikes on the water - you can probably back off elevator as you speed up - down to 20% or so at take off. If it doesn't want to take off without lots of elevator, you might need to add a little wing incidence by adding a 3-5mm shim under the front of your wing on the fusealage, or by just decreasing the height between the back of the pontoons and the tail of your plane.

[@Joyplanes]

Thanks for your ideas. I'm pretty sure I wasn't using too much elevator in the second try, but I have to because otherwise there's a risk of dipping the nose of the pontoons and crash. But it actually takes off very easy.

I am making tiny floats for my mini mustang p51D. Without a rudder in the floats, it is hard to maneuver on water but i almost got it working... Will make a video if it works My first rc plane was an Art Tech Coota , a water plane and since then I got the waterplane fever

[@TheLifeTerm]

Great job. Will be adding floats to my scratch built, foamie Lazy Bee 🐝

[@samarmstrong5127]

Awesome plane! have just built it and it flies great. this is definitely my next project and cant wait to build them!! Thanks so much for all the plans especially as they're free

[@trondaustad8617]

hi there , nice job and a interesting video, l think l have to try this things out, grettings from NORWAY

[@gasperlavric1359]

I like it, you are amazing. For the next project you can make a simple warbird.

[@yayathidayat6678]

cool, those pontoon doing really good job

[@KaliKavala]

I use depron and cover it with scotch tape.. sticky tape.. depends on what u call it. Do it with overlap of more than 50% and it becomes pretty much water resistant

[@kidalainababy5337]

You should make a tiny whoop.By building this tiny whoop you fly and enjoy a lot in your home in this lockdown situation

[@Sandokans]

Hi ,nice work like allways. Can you build snow skies ,for the plane?!I have snow here..Thank

[@rvieira505]

Thank you!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@liamoliverdarroch6482]

Cool video, I am wondering how much the plane weighs, do you know?

[@Miami_Beach_RC]

I love your channel!

[@cosmoko5110]

Next video: Make a solar plane! 😊

[@maheshwardhone2963]

you added the rudder on the left which create a noticeable drag during takeoff. also its weight turns the model towards left. i think soo🤔❤️

[@premierymasyt7083]

Joy excelente job

[@potato-qf1ed]

great video

[@Rhys_wangler]

amazing just pure amazingness

[@kidalainababy5337]

You always flies very amazing rc planes can you please tell me that the flight time of these planes using 3 or 4s battery?

[@Joyplanes]

This plane can take from a 2000 mAh to 4000 mAh battery. And fly for about 8 to 15 min respectevly

[@leonelzardonrodriguez7939]

Hola te sigo por los dos canales en ingles y español claro pues no publicas los mismos vídeos lo que es un problema no entiendo el ingles le sugiero los pongas al mismo tiempo en ambos canales y así los de poco conocimientos en habla inglesa podemos seguir aprendiendo junto a tu canal que a mi modesto entender en el tema eres un CRACK explicando. Y asiendo que uno se enamore mas del aeromodelismo. Saludos y se te sigue desde la isla de CUBA.

[@Joyplanes]

Hola, muchas geacias por tu comentario, ultimamente he dejado de subir nuevos videos proque estoy ocupado en otros proyectos. Espero subir algunos videos mas pronto cuando retome esto. Saludos.

[@leonelzardonrodriguez7939]

@@Joyplanes gracias por responder, esroybal tanto de que no has subido nada nuevo,re sugiero que hagas revisión de lo que has publicado en los dos canales y lo que no tengas en uno y seta en el otro hasle el doblaje de traducción y aunque sean viejos para unos serán nuevos para otros seguidores como yo. Habrazos y a la espera de mas de Joyplanes.

[@bossmirai]

Woowwww 😮... Awesome 😮 👏👏👏👏

[@dancefactory3134]

I really loved it

[@anmolkumar6704]

Why not try some cardboard free flight Gliders because i am currently out of foam and it is not available easily That would be great if you try so

[@tateranus4365]

Just go to a hardware store, at least in America they sell insulation foam boards for next to nothing, im not sure about other countries.

Great content!

Can you make a wooden p_51 plane please

[@lurkingcorsa10]

nicee landing...👌

[@654comet]

I have one question , may be foolish , are you connecting the float rudder servo thru Y cable on plane rudder servo ?

[@BEUNanim]

looks good, big fan!!!.

[@Soy_anonim0]

Estoy suscrito a tu canal en español, no sabía que tenias este otro 😅

[@aakk2461]

Here we are 😊

[@kidalainababy5337]

Please make a flight test rc ft commuter. This plane a awasome

[@aparajitaroy1497]

u can use the same engine on LEGO propeller planes

[@frankgordonsmith4795]

fantastic

[@mohammedfahad6563]

Bro. Battery how many voltages ahnd mah are used here

[@sultanarazia7120]

[@AmanChaudhary-k5i]

try this with joy mini

[@kidalainababy5337]

Please make a cessna.

[@amasat71]

👍👍👍

[@saifuddinmanik1846]

Can i make the rc plane without flap

[@alejandopiloto426]

Hermoso

[@mubinska1]

Can u share the plane on A4 saiz

[@kidalainababy5337]

I can assure you that this tiny whoop can help you a lot for practising drone
