Titan Air Hog #2

Second Air Hog Titan

[@lomparti]

Wow flys great! You're a good pilot too, that take off and landing was absolutely perfect.

[@TheCaptmjr]

I really appreciate that. Thank you. Of all of the mods, the winglets help the most.

[@sNstRflyEr]

Great job bro, really clean. Ive done 3 titan conversions and love every one. taped one and fiberglassed another. Ailerons and elevator worked best for me. no rudder. Flies beautifully. Again great job.

[@ScienceguyOrg]

Good job on the conversion.

[@justforkicks6755]

You...my friend, are the man!

[@TheCaptmjr]

Thank you.

[@TheCaptmjr]

9gm servos and the winglets are not necessary. Just helps the air flow over the ailerons.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice job! I tried the same thing with VERY different results. I got too heavy really quick, and removed too much wing surface for ailerons. You did the right thing with EDF too, since there's so little drag when off the throttle. Looked like you used 9gram servos, right?

[@999benhonda]

yours with a 50mm edf looks to move just as fast as my 4' glider with a 64mm edf.

[@TheCaptmjr]

I notched a groove in the fuselage to inset the fan just a little and glued in place with a hot glue gun. No wing reinforcement is necessary and all cuttingan hollowing out was done with a soldering iron.

[@rg87ta]

funny, i crashed a ducted fan f-16 and when i got home, i looked at my airhogs glider and wondered if i can do this. I guess i can. Thank you

[@richandlisawoods]

Why did you add the winglets? Was it unstable? Are the servos standard or mini?

[@mountainmeister7996]

Thats the cleanest one yet. Very nice, I am in the process myself. How do you have the engine mounted? Super Glue? Also what did you use to reinforce the wings, or did you? Thanks

[@PowerUpTo360]

That's pretty dope

[@justforkicks6755]

I'm just getting into RC flyers...very basic stuff. I just got the sky rover crusader s...3 ch. Heli. already bored with it, doesn't fly well outdoors at all in the slightest breeze. I'm looking to try a very inexpensive, RC plane, to see if I want to pursue the hobby long term. Any suggestions on a plane? Something that won't break my heart or the bank when I inevitably, break it.

[@TheCaptmjr]

Absolutely the best trainer is the park zone champ. you can pick the up new ready to fly for 89 dollars. check out horizon hobby. or find a used one on ebay. Because you are new I would also recommend a simulator. They work well.

[@PAYNEINC2007]

sweet stuff

[@chinhvannguyen1685]

Very good, how much usd?

[@colinboone9920]

AWESOME!!

[@kj1278]

Will it work without ailerons? I just got one and wanted to do elevator and tail. Are the wing flaps definitely needed? I have a Titan and a flying eagle that i am going to convert just trying to keep them as simple as possible for the kids.....

[@ZicajosProductions]

You should be able to use just elevators and use Yaw (rudder) for turning, much like the HobbyZone Champ is designed... however, with a good transmitter, I would recommend mixing Elevator + Ailerons (called "Elevons", seen on any RC delta wing, really). Then, use rudder as well. If you want to do aerobatics, you will really needs some sort of roll (aileron) control. Flaps are not needed. But since you say it is for the kids, you should be able to do just Yaw + Elevator. But honestly, I have no idea how will this aircraft will respond to just that.

[@TheCaptmjr]

I added a U shaped rod to connect the elevators.

[@slythee1]

cool plane, I'm putting one together myself using 2 edf's like the A10. Where is the COG on the Titan? Thanks

[@michaelwni]

cool man

[@kingwithabrokencrown]

awesome..

[@1990ryanalba]

What all did you use for this project?

[@TheCaptmjr]

6 to 8 minutes wide open 20 minute pulled back when thermaling.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

ONE aileron servo in each wrong, not two.

[@ReverendRichie]

How did you attach the EDF to the Fuselage?

[@blighto]

What receiver did you install. ??

[@craigs2644]

Put a air hogs double air hogs engine with 3 triple a batteries and it will take off fro the ground

[@chinhvannguyen1685]

craig s it is difficult to control

[@roybrown3018]

how did you mount the EDF

[@steveburke9455]

Can you make a video how to make it?

[@awesomegwen92]

I have never made an rc plane befoee and i would really love to know how...but i have no idea how to learn...any way you can give me some tips?

[@999benhonda]

Gwen Dacones visit flite test . com, or watch all of their build vids on youtube. they work with thin foam board, but many of the methods apply to converting a foam glider to RC. They also have vids explaining motors, esc's, radio gear, servos ect.

[@awesomegwen92]

RCPro Driver thank you

[@terrycollins2935]

Tinman first done this on video in 2010 and made a better job of the conversion ,check it out.

[@TheCaptmjr]

It is a single piece elevator

[@osakaben10]

what kind of fan was that?

[@TheCaptmjr]

It was a stock 64mm fan from a SAPAC Typhoon

[@arsenekouakou2788]

Je veux acheter , ça coute combien?

[@TwrkingNinja]

how do you land it

[@lilcoreycakes]

smart useing a prea made plane

[@tnasburypl]

Cool plane. Easy on the servos servo bully.. Just kidding!

[@pgalvez64]

Would you sell one of those? How much?

[@TheCaptmjr]

Sure send me a pm

[@DaBorderhopper]

way too much wing flex..also build a housing for the edf it will pull even harder

[@kylehelsel9043]

is that the dx6i

[@TheCaptmjr]

Yes it is a dx6i

[@MrNikhil0000000000]

Why is it white? Hard to see...
