Motorized Walmart Toy Gliders?

[@ArizoGecko]

You guys have NO IDEA how many new RC pilots you have brought into the hobby! Not to mention the inactive RC pilots that are now dusting off their old equipment, and coming back to a long lost love. I flew for years, all the way up to quarter scale (& even a bit larger) aerobics, 3-D, warbirds & sport flyers. I left when Spektrum had just introduced the ONLY 2.4ghz transmitter, which I bought, but the vast majority of flyers were on FM (& even a few still on ancient Kraft AM!) Also, electrics were just entering LiPo batteries & brushless motors, but most electrics were "profile" planes from balsa & monocoat kits, or small "foamies" that were useless in any winds over 5-10 mph. My point is, I am finding out that "my hobby" is a whole new world! No longer does it take 2 weeks pay and 6 months of Sundays to build & fly with your buddies! $100 & an afternoon will get you in the air! Pretty cool! Keep up the good work. See you at the field!

[@adrianjezierski8093]

Haha Im flying on LTE modem and have unlimited range with FPV view with my parrot disco drone... I had a flight of 10 KM already but I could go for 50+ KM with my upgraded batteries... Some dudes are posting good batteries on auction sites that are new and half the price, I bought 10.000 mahz for a very cheap price. This is like a ultimate wet dream of every old school RC to have a plane with unlimited range lol and such cool features from the controling APP, GPS etc.

25 or 30 years ago, when these planes first came out, I always thought they would make great rc flyers. I tried to convert one, but I didn't have the advantage of the micro gear we have today, so mine didn't fly so good, but thanks to you guys I feel vindicated. Great video.

What is the plane called, like what would I look for at the store to find this glider. Edit: I looked online and found out it is called the Sky Riders Foam Glider. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Edit 2: I also found a smaller 24" version called the White Sky Glider sold on the Hobby Lobby website for $6.99, made by Maui Toys. I was looking a bit more online while writing this and Maui Toys also owns the bigger Sky Rider Gliders. Edit 3: I bought a 24" one and they are both called Sky Riders.

Not knowing squat about weight and balance we made some cool high speed Lawn Darts and a few that flew well we had to chase for miles....great memories. Thanks Guys!

With sweptback designs, the weight of the wings draws the moment rearward from the datum. The CG will always be further back. BTW, my kids and I found your channel about a month ago and we've never done RC before. We'll be ordering for birthdays soon. You convinced us. We love the channel.

[@chriscross5581]

1+ on the CG bit. Look up how to find CG based on % of MAC(Mean Aerodynamic Chord) in detail - It's theoretically a bit math heavy, but there is a fairly simple Graphical way to do it if you have a simple constant chord or single taper wing. Here's a link to a quite straight forward recipe n this graphical method I found on the net: moleski.net/rc/pix/calc-MAC.png . You can simplify it a bit to find approximate CG for an existing wing by simply laying the wing on a large piece of paper and then just draw around it as described in the pic.

For some real fun, clip the main wings down about eight inches each. I discovered this when my over excited grandson ran into a stair rail and broak a wing. He was so upset about it. I said "no problem" and snapped the other wingtip off to match. We had a great time flying the thing.

[@chiorb2chiorb261]

We did this 40 years ago with 747 foam gliders. They cost 5 bucks. We added ailerons and cut the tail into a stabilator. We use plastic packing tape for aileron hinges. No electric motors then just a glider. We did dog fight and had one still flying with the whole nose from the wing forward missing. We talked about painting them up in airliner schemes and video real 747's taking off and then the dog fight.

Lalith, if you can't order it, make it yourself! It is easier to buy it ready to transform, but foam planes are easy to make. The best glue is the German Uhu Por, a contact glue that does not chemically attack the foam (which is expanded polipropilene, but there are alternatives. Look at this forum from your own country: www.rcindia.org/tools-materials-and-building-techniques/about-white-depron-foam/25/?wap2 Above all, improvise. DIY all the time. Look around you - there's tons of raw materials to be re-purposed . Good luck and good flights!

Yes, one channel per motor for differential thrust, plus he actually used another 2 channels for the elavon (1channel for the left, and one for the right elevator). So it was still 4 channels.

I happen to have an RC helicopter, therein containing a motherboard that connects to an RC controller and a battery. I also have wire. I plan to trim the wings (aerodynamics+lift) and place two motors on the wings for diff thrust and place the motherboard on one side and a paperweight on the other, balancing the weight. Battery in the middle bottom (center of weight) and motherboard in the same place. Hot glue it all together. I've never built something like this from scratch before, so if y'all have any newbie tips for building, i'm all ears.

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

It would be awesome to build one that is set to naturally climb slightly and that will fly somewhat straight. On a sunny calm day put a note on it and see how far it will go unassisted. Like a note in a bottle thrown into the ocean that washes up across the Atlantic. Maybe someone a couple hundred miles away would reply. Could be a fun thing to do. Provided it doesn't fly into an airport lol.

[@Guevara1015]

Yeah as you kind of hinted at the end there's an issue with control authority. Basically the FAA, and most civil aviation authorities allow RC aircraft but don't allow autonomous drones. Another legal technicality (which isn't always followed strictly if we're entirely honest) is line of sight, but nobody cares if its maybe a few seconds but a day is a long time. I'd love to see the challenge, but if they were following along in a car or something so they could basically take a road trip with a plane following them the whole way would be awesome!

[@AlexOvechkinSucks]

It would basically be a very large aerofoil covered in a solar array, and a few motors, props, battery, and electronics. As long as they fly in direct sunlight, it should work quite well.

[@bobu5213]

That will give you like a minute extra at most tbh.

[@AlexOvechkinSucks]

BoBu I’m pretty skeptical of anything solar powered, because you need a lot of sq ft of PV panels and very little weight, but as long as it can be launched by other means, it should be able to sustain itself in the air as long as it’s sunny.

I did this with the exact same glider about 4 years ago. It flew awesome. Also, the CG is so far back because of the swept wing, because the lift is generated so far back. I also had a friend do one with an EDF on top, and he cut the wing mounts to remove the dihedral from the wings, and his flew super fast, and was extremely maneuverable.

0:40 - "I can't believe it's that far back" ==> Swept wing. The CG as measured against the root airfoil is quite misleading.

Indeed, mean aerodynamic chord not at wing root :-)

I've just done a little project like this, converted a cheap 1m wingspan foam glider with a 3cm ducted fan motor on top of the fuselage, rudder, elevator and ailerons. It's fun!

Love it!!

[@johnnygustafson1243]

me too. I have been following these guys for years, Learned a bunch from them for many of my builds. Keep up the good work guys!

I purchased this glider for $2.50. Another mark down error I think.

[@testtube1020]

Got back into the hobby after many, many years and you guys really are an inspiration!

Alex finally lost one of his made up games. I'm going to do this for a cheap glider. Plenty of spare parts laying around. Take her up high and chop the motor. Love it.

You guys are awesome you have no idea how long I've had that idea in my head on how hard it would be to make one of those foam gliders RC excellent job gentlemen
