After testing the 15x4 propeller on this plane with 3s. I wanted to try this 14x6 prop hoping for more airspeed. Unfortunately it was a little hard on the motor with higher throttle raning from 65-100% and over heated the motor after a few minutes.
finally testing the 15x4 propeller. #rcairplanes

Seeing how fast the Cub can fly on 3s
Hey, if it works for British aircraft carriers.......
@@SnoMoJoe1 well we went off the top side of the ramp and that worked out much better 🤣
Yes, finally you have found full control of the ultralight. She is flying great.
@@AVIATOR-by4kk yep! I'm super excited. This is just a joy to fly!
Where are you flying? That 12x4.5 is probably the wrong prop. I'd try going down in diameter one or two inches and maybe to a five or six pitch. A 40-amp ESC should be ok. Just my opinion. Good luck.
@@mikenadler7118 so far I've tested 6 different props and pitches. The 12x4.5 seems to be about perfect. I can fly at 50% throttle with no problem. The ESC wasn't in the the best spot though. I may try a 12x4 and see how that works as well. May take a little stress off the motor and esc. Flying in a small lot in north Idaho. Probably won't be flying here much longer. Houses are being built. Going to have to find a new place to fly.
I thought the terrain looked familiar. I'm in Northern California in the Sierra Foothills. I love experimenting with designs.
Hi, how much the number of the Li-Po's cells? Nice glider anyway, I build similars nowadays too!
@@goldenfish77 I run 3300mah 4s. This plane is meant to be more of a sport plane. Kinda fast at 79 mhp
@@FlyTimeRC Wow!! It is cool! Thank you!
@@goldenfish77 thank you!
Good
pls teach us how to build the fast one 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Which one? I'd be happy to.
@@FlyTimeRC I’ll find the time stamp
@@FlyTimeRCthe plane at 0:18
@@WingsNWheelss oh ok the ultralight. Not really a fast plane. But I did a video the other day with some explanation on the build.
@@FlyTimeRC Okok thanks. Did u build it urself?
needs larger motor, and move CG forward....should be perfect
@@ancientbriton12345 check out my newest video. After removing some weight on the tail and also changing the prop to a 12x4.5 it flew perfectly. More test flights coming soon!
Props are a different thing in the air. Likely at that size/power combo the props aerofoil is stalled in a ground run and it will rev higher. In the air it un stalls and then you don't have the power to run it at sufficient speed to get the aircraft flying properly.
@@pjjms True. And this prop definitely didn't give me the air speed I needed. I did try two more props and the last one 4s after this giving me the perfect set up. I ended up going with a 12x4.5 on 4s. I had enough thrust and air speed to fly at 40-45% throttle before stalling. Right where I wanted to be.
Looking at the way it fly's, I'd say it's definitely tail heavy. I also think you're using the wrong prop, I'd try a 13x8 to get more speed.
@@ramalho actually I tried a 13x6.5 and it got to hot like this 14x6 but a 12x4.5 works perfectly. Check out my newest video. Thanks for watching!
I use curved foam board underbelly to protect the prop on landing. It’s lighter than wheels setup You r having a good run on the plane
@@AVIATOR-by4kk that's a neat idea. I only did this because I ripped off the wheels in the last video. I've got new landing gear now.
Nice, get some aeroscout tires for it.. looks much better.
@@capnhardway I got some 2.5" tires on it now. Little bitty ones! Nice and light. I'm going to test either today or tomorrow and see how it flies with a little added weight. I think it will do just fine.
@@FlyTimeRC awesome..
fantastic plane,great flight 👍👍👍😀
@@rcplaytime thanks! I'm super excited I found the right combination of prop and battery for this plane after tons of testing! Thanks for watching.
Seems to me the plane isn't properly balanced. Too tail heavy. Needs more weight in the nose. The CG point you are using now to balance the plane is too far back. It needs to be moved forward, which will show you it is tail heavy. Try to move it an inch forward. Then move your battery forward to make the plane balance OK. Additionally the 15x4 might provide you 3.5kg thrust, but the plane doesn't reach enough speed to generate the needed lift ... hence the need for full throttle. An higher pitched prop (smaller diamter) 13x7 might be more suited. On the other hand, you might try the 15x4 using a much thicker wing, as this will generate more lift with lower speed. Thicker wing -> slow flying, thinner wing -> speed.
@@graphix-ds yes, airspeed was to low for sure. Also a tad tail heavy. The wind didn't help either. But if you check out my new video I got the winning prop and battery combo. Also I lightened up the tail and got the cg just right. Thanks for watching!
Crazy, why do you think that is? Lack of thrust? I'm sure you'll figure it out, always interesting..
@@capnhardway lack of air speed and also it was pretty windy. But yes I did figure out the optimal prop and battery for this. Right after this flight!
@@FlyTimeRC cool, I look forward to the video..
@@capnhardway I've got two new videos out testing new props. I'm super happy I've finally got it figured out. This plane has been fun to test and tweak to get it just right! Thanks for watching!
Quite on the heavy side and CG too far back
@@b.w.oostdam8875 ya, it's definitely heavy but in this case that's not the issue. A little tail heavy and the air speed was to low. The wind didn't help either. I did find the winning combination a couple flight tests after this though.
Thank you for sharing the build-up of this plane.
I wish I had taken more pictures. But I build in whatever spare time I get so I do what I can. Thanks for watching!
Great info, really appreciate the details you show, hope I have time to try a foam board build soon.
@@A.M.-RC thank you! It's definitely worth a try! 🛩️
Nice design-build… Thrust is the only issue but I’m sure you will get that figured out soon… 👍🏻✌🏻
@@EJ-74 thanks!!
Fly, break, fix, repeat. It's a great design, sorry to see it crash land.
@@A.M.-RC exactly. It's all part of the process of designing and perfecting it. I've got it figured out now!
Definitely need 4S power. seems to fly nice long as you have airspeed… You will get it figured out I’m sure…..
@@EJ-74 yes sir. Definitely needs more air speed. I've already got it figured out! More to come tomorrow.
@@FlyTimeRC Cool looking forward to it…
Would your plane happen to be nose heavy I don’t know, but it seemed like when it lost power it really started nosing down. They will do that some, but I’m not sure it should quite that much. Happy flying!
@@CJ-cs9qo it shouldn't be. Based on where the cg is. Or is supposed to be. But I did notice during this flight I had a good bit of up elevator to keep it flying flat.so maybe. But the previous flight I had maybe 25 grams or so more tail weight and it didn't fly as well.
Yup, low voltage cutout. what was the battery cells at?
@@WildBillFlysRC I think it actually over heated. I can't remember the voltage. I should have had several more minutes of fly time. I was flying at 70-100% a lot during the flight it just cut power. And the motor and esc were pretty hot.
This is thing is so me !!! On different note. I love how cameraladies/wifes cant help but make "noises" while filming. Regardless of continemt 😂😂😂
@@woody7739 lol ya I always enjoy when my wife flies with me she has fun to!
Glad you got it back on the ground in one piece.. Nice save…
Me to! That was a super sketchy flight!
@@FlyTimeRC Looks like you’re going to have to try 4S 🤔
@@EJ-74 ya I've got back n forth with different motors,props and batteries. Trying to get the optimal set up. Looks like it's 4s. Got another video coming tomorrow. I finally got the best set up.
GOOD JOB 😊👍
Thanks!!
Great looking plane ! I think you did a great building job ! I’m sure you’ll get it flying beautifully 👍😊
Thank you!!
😂
@@masonatorgaming669 weed eater!
Keep working on it, mate. Practice makes perfect.
@@AVIATOR-by4kk this is the only plane I've built that required so many small tweaks to get just right. It's also one of the largest. But that's half the fun of building planes.
@@FlyTimeRC I can't agree more. The satisfaction of getting it flying good is addictive.
@@AVIATOR-by4kk absolutely
Getting better and better. I think you definitely gotta land under power with this beast… Keep it up 👍🏻✌🏻
@@EJ-74 I think so to. This one requires a lot more flying skills than my previous planes.
did your pants get caught in a prop?
Nope. These are just really old jeans that I won't get rid of.
It sure looks good with that mountain in the background.
Great job making it fly right!
It's getting closer. With these home made planes sometimes it takes some time to find tune them in still working on getting it right where I want it.
Nice flight! do you have elevator to flap mixing set up? Subscribed also.
@@WildBillFlysRC thanks! No I've never ran any kind of mixing.
@@FlyTimeRC If your radio can do mixing, 10% down elevator at half flaps and 20% at full flaps is a good place to start. Cheers!
@@WildBillFlysRC I may give it a shot. I usually just like to do everything by feel. Every plane has its own quarks. Maybe after I get this ultralight all dialed in I may try some mixing
That looks really good in the air.
@@SnoMoJoe1 thanks I think it does to. Just a neat looking plane!
Very cool. Just need a bit more power to where you can cruise at 50% power or less and that thing will be badass!!! Good job 👍🏻✌🏻
@@EJ-74 yep I'm getting close to getting the winning prop/motor combo.
Why does it launch the airplane vertically upwards. We used to launch an airplane close to the horizontal with a slight climb. Then the traction of the motor helps to slightly increase the speed of the throw and since the speed does not decrease, you will have plenty of time to reach the transmitter. Not to mention that if you start the aircraft horizontally rather than upwards, you can do this with one hand, and you can safely hold the transmitter in the other hand. Of course, there is the thrust-to-weight ratio at which the plane can stretch vertically and rise, but it is still recommended to perform the throw almost horizontally. Have a good flight!
It has plenty of power to launch however. But the bad thing was when I tossed the plane my controller swung over and hit my arm and I lost control before it started flying. That's why I rather not hand launch myself if I can help it. It's way easier to have someone launch for me so I can be quick on the controls. No biggy though. The plane was fine.
This is a huge plane. Just to big to launch one handed.
