[@rahultej2248]

4 hrs

[@rahultej2248]

Shivendra Yadav no, I estimated that. And iam definitely gonna make one. In the cost of 4000 inr This is gonna be my second project. If you wanna see the tutorial of my version, I’ll link my channel. Even though 32$ is ridiculously less, My version is an upgrade. And the weight is less than half.(350gr w/o battery) And with a long range simple diy transmitter and receiver Which costs just 1200₹. Ps: my first project is a flying wing.

Flies real good, really gentle, I think I will give it a try. Only downside is, when you lawndart your plane, and chances are you will as a beginner, I have for sure :), motor will never be as good. Pusherplanes have that advantage.

There is a foam angle cutter you can buy to cut foam in 90 and 45 deg, the 45 deg hinge cuts and 90 deg bends will be extremely accurate and aesthetically the plane will look much better

Wow! you make all of it look so easy. I'm researching beginner RC planes for my son and I to learn together (he's 11). Your build seems a little challenging but looks fun. Thanks.

[@daviddavids2884]

some info. 1) paperclad foamboard is HEAVY. in Most cases, its use results in tail-heaviness in the dom. distribution of mass. 2) overall heaviness/auw leads to a need for 'more' wing area/lift. minimum wingspan should be, say, one yard/meter. (mitigation of both is possible; via the use of panel cutouts. but No one ever does it.) 3) consider whether the price of a simulator would be 'worth it'. especially, if you live where the weather is frequently not great for flying. 4) a novice pilot can spend a Lot more time flying/smiling, if he chooses the right type of model (to learn on). that being, a light-weight, three-channel slow-flyer. such a model must have a dihedral main wing, in order to avoid the need for ailerons. while there are some manufactured models that will fly slowly, the main wing may not have enough dihedral, to allow the use of rudder-initiated turns. two examples of a slow-flyer. cheers googletranslate kzbin.info/www/bejne/oouUp4iBmNCnjM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKmzkKp6mpmIhtE

@@MohamedAhmed-iq8dc Hey man, this is a modified version of the FT Simple Storch, really slightly modified so is basically the same, I stated that on the web post, and I'll keep modifying it to the point it is a bit more different from the FT version, but it is a wonderful base point for a trainer airplane but I found some things I'd like to modify already.

[@Kengaroo66]

Understand this tutorial is over two years old. Thank you very much for your great work. This is my first ever build. I finished this build and made a few modifications as I went. 1. I mounted some 3mm hardboard 55mm wide and 150mm ling on the inside of the top of the fuselage, under where the wing is. I then inserted two small wall plugs. The wing is held down very securely. The wing is removed by two screws (and washers) and looks better than rubber bands. 2. I shortened the nose and then added a tapered nose with a hole for the propeller shaft. Then added a nose cone. Better aerodynamics and l think looks better. 3. After creating the dihedral, I bent a 2.5mm x 15mm x 150mm piece of aluminium flat to the shape of the dihedral. With washers under the wing and sandwiched to fix the dihedral with much greater strength. The added weight is absolutely minimal. 4. I also looked up how to program my new flysky i6 to have flaperons. Fantastic. 5. I made the landing gear from a piece of aluminium, 80 mm front wheels and 30 mm tail wheel. For the battery, I have used a 3500mah, 4S, 50c with a 30amp ESC and 1000kva brushless. The power is fantastic. Would be good to share some pictures but do not know how. After never flying an Rc plane before, I highly recommend this build for a beginner. Thank you.

Great explaining and details. Thanks. I made the fuselage, but as I glued the two pieces, they are not perfect 90 degrees. I was wondering if this makes a big difference in flying the aeroplane? The longitudinal axis is perfect, just the side angles are a bit out. The wings, elevator and the rudder also aligned perfectly. I appreciate if you can advise on this 🙂🙏

Fuselage it's ok, the critical parts are the alignment of stabilizers and wing

[@logiknotlogic6586]

it flew? Mine is not able to reach the speed it requires to take off as the plane turns to the right and out of the road. Also I used a 3000mah battery which is heavier which may be why it hasnt lifted yet. And the wheels are a huge pain. Does the motor start to vibrate a lot when the plane is on the ground with the throttle a little less than half? What is the distance your plane requires to take off? What motor and prop did you use? Pls reply i need some help for my build

[@_QWERTY2254]

@@logiknotlogic6586 Hi, I used 1000mah battery because I didnt have 2200mah. Then ı put some weight in front of it. If your center of gravity is okay ı think there wouldnt be any problem . if your prop is turning counter clock wise, when you look from frond of it, you should give 3 degrees angle to the right, otherwise to the left. and you should turn motor downwards 3 degrees. I couldnt fly it myself because I believe I am not good enough. Someone threw and an experienced person flew my plane. If you are new in this hobby like me, I wouldnt recommend you to fly yourself even your are good in simulator. I used 10" 10x4.5 propeller. My plane didnt vibrate but I have had that problem before. but ı dont know why. ı used 1000kv motor. I am sorry if I made any mistake. english isnt my native language.

[@scottfirman]

I use Owen's Foam Board to make my planes. You can glue the plans directly to the foam board using 3M 77 Spray adhesive. After you are done, just remove the plans from the foam board. I took a sock and filled it with sand as a weight to hold my folds after hot gluing. The type of hot glue gun sold on Flite test but purchased through Amazon( cheaper) is the best for doing foam planes. This is a good basic plane and easily repaired. It reminds me of the Apprentice in size. Bigger planes are easier to fly. The internet is FULL of great deals on all your electronics. Watch for USED equipment if possible. You can get a good used transmitter for $50 or less. I like this video but pay attention to what kind of wire you use for servo, controls. The wire shouldn't bend at all when actuated. Flite Test would approve of these plans!

[@Joyplanes]

Yes, the wire is important, I use the thin one that bends, I have a very strong one but is so strong that I cannot bend it in small portions, I'll have to use the adjustable linkage for these.

[@scottfirman]

Are you failure with the Z bend ? It works great and you don't need a special tool. My first foam build was the Flite Test Tiny Trainer. It was a better glider than powered by a long shot. I made 4 of them and ended up modifying it as a pusher. I am finishing the Simple Cub right now. That should be a good flying plane. If you need any HELPFUL advice, let me know, also I am willing to share any info I may have. You are doing a great job and I subscribed to you.

[@scottfirman]

Check out RC Saylors too when you get a chance. Nate and Abby Saylor are very good friends of mine. Tell them Scott sent you. They are awesome people. I know you would like them. I will pass along your site to them also. Take care.

[@Joyplanes]

@@scottfirman Thank you! Z bend with those wires is extremely hard to do I need some piano wire but thinner.

[@scottfirman]

@@Joyplanes The screw type servo control connectors work well then, at least you do not have to be so precise. I still have a few but usually have good luck making the Z - bend. I have gotten wire that actually snapped when trying to bend it. Someone hardened it off. If you have a hand torch, you can heat that type of wire to make the metal soft enough to bend. Even a gas stove will work. I almost rammed the wire through my hand when it snapped. That can make you use choice words when that happends

?????? main lg PARAMETERS. the main lg struts, of a taildragger, should be tall enough that the Prop does not strike the ground, during ground maneuvering. strut height should maintain prop clearance (on the ground), if the attitude is very Slightly, nose-down, also. the use of taller struts will increase the sto traits, of the airframe. btw, the WINGTIPS Should Be Finished !!!! i suggest you ponder These questions. WHY do you boys Think it is a good idea to copy an ANCIENT Design??? WHY do think it is a good idea to have stol traits built into an airframe.!!! as to the second question, it should be understood that when stol traits are built-into an airframe, they CANNOT be 'turned off'. in other words, those traits are ALWAYS There, Always affecting flight behavior !!! you boys who make models of ANTIQUE stol designs, end up with a model that is Not versatile (in the air) !!! googletranslate
