How to make a styrofoam RC airplane yourself | homemade low cost project

[@simon-me7zg]

will you please tell me every part measurement

[@Joyplanes]

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't put that in the description, the measurements are wing span: 76Cm, 14 width. Fuselage 56Cm, horizontal stabilizer: 25Cm of width, vertical stabilizer: 16Cm height. Use this measurement to have an idea but you can use different measurements really depending on the weight and other factors.

[@simon-me7zg]

+Joyplanes thank you

[@Abroadfreak]

Impressive. Could you please explain the principles for power calculation of component i.e. esc, servos, battery, etc

I watched this video back in 2017 when i was in 10th grade, I am from Airforce family and my dream is to be a pilot and to build aircrafts. I build rc plane then at 14 years old age which had best CG but it could not fly bcz i have no powerful brushless motors due to low budget. Only my uncle appreciated me for that. I had craze for it and now i am watching it again in september 11, 2024. now I am 20 years old and doing Computer Science and my ambission is to build RC aircrafts and drones powered by AI which can deliver objects in less time with less cost. I wish i get motivation again watching your videos and get some more nostalgic moments of my life. I respect you sir!

Great build and design!! Just a hint, for cutting ribs I will join the two wing rib material temporarily with double sided tape, then you only have to cut once :)

[@blazewolf1859]

Great video! I love how you explain everything and include a parts list. I based my plane off of yours and bought the same servos you used, but my servos jitter whenever I try to move them. I made sure that the FlySky I6 transmitter and receiver are all properly calibrated, but they still jitter. I tried all five of them, but they all seem to do the same thing. Could the problem be with the servos or is it something to do with the receiver? Thanks so much.

[@Playingwaslayinggirly]

Amazing video! Is it easy to make?

[@itsabuscus1619]

Love the video man this is some high quality stuff! I like how you cut the wing out with the Hotwire on the table. (Fishelooge, stab-a-lisers, aleroons. Sorry, now you're gonna think of me everytime you say those three words.)

Good demonstration and explanation video. The resulting plane is good and flies wonderful.

[@daviddavids2884]

thanks for posting. some late thoughts for you and your subs. do not mount servos in the tail, MOUNT SERVOS NEAR THE CG. mounting servos aft of the cg makes the tail heavier and more counter-weight is then necessary, for correct balance/cg. mount aileron servos as far inboard as possible. ailerons can be controlled with one servo; see strip aileron configuration. at 1:40, the profile shown is NOT a clark-y, it is semi-symmetrical. clark-y has a flat lower surface. fortunately for you, the profile that was cut has a mostly flat lower surface. (stick with the original clark-y, not the clark-y II, which is a more complicated profile.) a poplar dowel makes a better main wing spar. the spar should extend most of the span; not just the middle one-third. at 8:12, make control horns from an old credit card or similar material, not from an aluminum can. mounting the battery as low as possible increases stability. cg appears to be pretty good. correct cg is 30 percent of main wing chord, aft of wing leading edge. cheers www.funfly.nl/Verdiepingen/Vleugelprofiel/Clark%20Y/Clark%20Y.jpg

Hey hi I am a huge fan of your video I have some doubts Why does my lipo battery (lemon 2200mah,11.1volt,3s,30c) spark continuously while i try to connect to my esc (30a (deans connecter)) Maybe is it because of friction I am actually making a plane And I am using the battery mentioned above and the 30a esc and 2 servos and a 2200kv brushless motor And do u have any idea of the total flight time

[@masterbrain9]

Amazing video mahn, can't wait to try this out 😍

[@lucaspeters1463]

Try to add all the parts you can to the main body before attaching the wings, and when attaching the wings try to get a feel of where the airplane's center of mass is and place the wings there, if your plane tends to nose dive move the heavyer parts more in the back and if it tends to go up move the heavyer parts in the front.

[@Joyplanes]

I first make the airplane and then put the componets in place, I always leave enogh space at the nose to be able to change the CG.

[@AhmdAhmd-bc5gp]

Great video , Can I use brushless motor 1000kv ?? and plz could u tell me what the measurements of this plane ? Thanks

[@Joyplanes]

There is plans in the description, the measurements are in millimeters. And yes you can use a 1000KV motor but is better a smaller motor fitting a 4 or 5" propeller. The motor should be about 2300KV a 1000KV is made for bigger propellers and it's hevier

[@Amindu_D]

Well explaining and best rc plane making vdo i watch ever

[@diggydice9041]

This ought to inspire those on limited budgets to know they can do this for a fraction of the cost? I'm building a wing but my problem is which Transmitter is best? As in a User Friendly, easy to program radio? any ideas? peace

[@Joyplanes]

I think all radios have tricks on their interface, but I would recommend any open TX based radio like the Frsky, the new jumper T16, etc. Futaba has also a good user interface, but they are a lot pricier.

[@MrVipulLal]

Very nice video. Thanks

[@vanhelsing3225]

cool... very inspiring. im building mine soon...

[@diggydice9041]

This is the 2nd video like this I've seen & both show ways of handling materials that will make this project easier. I can figure out how large to make the wingspan and the overall length of the plane w/ common sense but I'm more concerned with not knowing anything about the controller or electronics needed? Like the radio used I'd want to buy a better one I could grow into since I'm sure this is an addictive hobby? Lol, I'm sure it's addictive because I already feel it just watching you make this one. Is there a kit to give us all we need or do you have the list? any help would be great... peace

[@Joyplanes]

I will make a more descriptive video or series of videos explaining all.

[@diggydice9041]

@@Joyplanes ~ I'm like, "Stoked" over all of this! I've learned how to engineer a main body that's hollow yet super strong. Also how to bury the servo's within the structure of the plane. And how to paint it too. All in a few days. I'll watch your stuff when you're ready.....

[@jabirridwan]

instead of using landing gears you can just put on some of those things that seaplanes use to land on water so that the plane can be amphibious

[@fpvstuff5891]

Now get an all in one FPV Cam in it and Use it as spy plane Or runcam split Mini with cool footage !!!

[@owenball3691]

How do you make the servos for the wings connect to the same channel but make them move in opposite directions? Would it be better to just use one servo in the center or is it better to have two servos?

[@Joyplanes]

You can use either technique but be having two servos save a bit of hassle aligning them later, and with two servos you can make a mix to make them behave like flaps for landings, it can be programmed in a mix in the radio.

[@vaibhavkannan3650]

which airfoil is best for gliders and long distance flights

[@Joyplanes]

I don't have the right answer for that but try looking at the airfoils used on other gliders, there are literally hundreds of airfoils that you can use for that purpose.

[@neutrno]

There are more simpler ways to build RC airplane, without airfoil, but this is also OK for beginners to understand how everything works.

How do you put the motor if the back part of it moves with the spinning? I have a Radian motor that crashed a few days ago, using for part and got a new Radian.

[@Joyplanes]

The back part doesn't spin, it stays still. Maybe you confused the bell with the base of the motor.

[@alexyt4434]

I do know some motors do not spin on the back of it, where you glue the back part the the wood and then the plane. I have the kind of motor that i call the heavy motor, since its powerful, efficent, and the back part spins and the entire thing is big. I dont have the link but if you can go to HorizonHobby, go to airplanes, sailplanes, E-Flite Radian 2M, scroll down and go to parts, and then scroll down until you find the motor.

[@Joyplanes]

Thats the kind of motors that will go on a glider but you can use them for any airplane, for that the base is different, make a box where the motor will go and then a hole in the front to let the shaft out and little holes for the screws. It's basically the same motor but different configuration.

[@wonderfulworld2000]

Is airlons important or it can be replaced by rudder

[@Joyplanes]

If the wing is flat like in this model the ailerons are very important to maneuver the aircraft, if the wing only has a diedro then you can consider only having a rudder.

[@wonderfulworld2000]

Create & Invent then 5 channel reciver is compulsory?

[@Joyplanes]

You need the following channels, 1. motor - 2. Ailerons - 3. elevator - 4. rudder. in the receiver, you need an extra channel to connect the second aileron servo but that should be mixed in the radio. A flysky radio is the one I recommend the one in the description called Radio system (recommended for beginners)

[@wonderfulworld2000]

Create & Invent plz dont mind beacuse of asking several questions.. so we can mix two servos to make one?

[@Joyplanes]

You can have two different outputs controlled by the same input of the radio, that's what the mix is for, for instance you can control two servos with the same channel.

[@wonderingwolf2332]

So about $316 aud? (with transmitter being $250)

[@Joyplanes]

You can get a FlySky transmitter which is a lot cheaper but good for other projects.
