Thank you for the plans I built mine it fles awesome.
I used
2212 1370 kv emax motor
30 amp esc
9g turnigy servos x4
9x6 prop
1500 mah zee battery
1.6 lbs all up unlimited vertical power to spare roll rate is crazy
You are welcome. It sounds like you like it as much as I do!
Another great video! So glad I found your channel.
Hey nice job looking forward to trying it
Great one landing gear awesome
Nice plane and good video 👌👍
Thanks!
Nice video Bro
Good ...i like it
Nicely done.
I'm surprised that little guy flew in the wind
The KF wing is surprisingly effective
Love all your video builds. You and I both have the same mental disorder. We love to build em just as much as we do flying them. One suggestion that I might add. Use a 6 channel Receiver, and an additional Servo up front which will give you the capability to program in a Flaperon / Spoileron Mix. Do this once, and you'll never turn back. Peace Brother.
Thanks for the suggestion. Another avenue to explore!
1. ESC, Power. 2. Aileron. 3. Elevator. 4. Rudder. 5. Empty. 6. Aileron. No "Y' harness. Sometimes you'll have to Reverse a servo, or flip flop the two Ailerons, but you'll get it. More flying options, and slow spot landings. Do this once, you'll never go back. Peace. Love your builds. @@thenerdoligist1292
You do great work
Hello. I also wanted to note that I especially liked your approach to the manufacture of a three-layer construction of the leading edge of the wing. however, I do not understand why you use wire for the chassis, while you can simply not use it due to the large weight.
Hi, you are correct, the landing gear is optional and is easy to remove. I sometimes fly at a baseball field and I can take off from the ground with the landing gear on.
Got my foamboard. Dollar tree
I'm going to start my build tomorrow and have two quick questions about taping (never done before) and wonder what worked best for you:
1. Do you first tape and then cut out various slots out of the foam board or cut out the slots, tape over and then cut the tape covering the slot?
2. Is it better to first tape the wings, and then make the cut for the ailerons and then bevel or vice versa (cut, bevel and then tape)?
Thanks a ton!!!
Tape first unless the bottom is a very dark color where you can’t see the lines then tape the top first, do the cuts then tape the bottom. It is one reason most of my planes are white on the bottom. If you haven’t taped before, I recommend watching my video on how I do it.
@@thenerdoligist1292 Got it! Thank you SO much, just watched it! Thanks for sharing. Oh man, I just saw the profile biplane you did. I'm really getting into biplanes and am in the middle of a Tiger Moth. I can see a profile Sopwith in my future, my list just keeps getting longer and longer! Thanks again!
@@stephenegge9241 Tiger Moth should be very cool. I did a Pitts that flies fantastic (now that I figured out the CG) and l love the way it looks and knife edges. Enjoy the build!
Can't wait to start! Gathering all of the pieces, I think you used 9 gram servos? Thanks!
Awesome! Yes, 9g servos. Cheap ones work fine, but digital, faster, etc. make it even more fun. If you don’t have a lot of experience adding the curvature to the KF section, I recommend practicing on some scrap first
@@thenerdoligist1292 Thanks!
Very good, like. Where to look for a plan? Thanks.
Thanks. Please read description for how to get plans.
Hi,
I've got the same electronics apart from the motor which is A2212/6T 2200KV. I'm a total newbie so I'd like to as if you think that my setup could fly as nicely as yours.
Hi. Unfortunately your motor will have lower acceleration so maneuvers like hovering and harriers will be much more difficult. The good news is that regular flying including loops, rolls and inverted flight will be the same. Good luck and have fun!
Hello my new friend my video is awesome i like it so much i follow your channel
Thank you. F-86 Profile model in process
how did you paint the foam board? And what type of paint?
I apply colored vinyl (available at dollar tree) or colored packaging tape (Amazon) before the Final Cut on the foam board. There is a video in my list showing how I do it. Vinyl is a little bit easier and cheaper but a little bit heavier and doesn’t stick as well sometimes. Vinyl is also cheaper if you want multiple colors
What size foamboard sheet is needed?
20”x30”
I love foam 3d planes
Me too. I love how they are so predictable and help improve skills. I crash often so this is great because I can build one in a day. I’m ready for my next version which will have some tweaks for performance and durability…just need some tome to finish my first EDF jet
Alot of the time the part you were working on wasnt in the picture
Yeah. Rookie mistake. Hope to do better next time.
Too bad you couldn't get the camera to frame the shot better, especially when mounting the firewall.
Yeah. I did get a good shot in a previous video. See the following at 42:12 th-cam.com/video/E5IzSzYQOIQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi, can you share your plan? I have already emailed you. Thanks a lot. 😊
Hi, I replied this morning to a request that went to my “spam” folder by mistake. Hopefully it was your request and you now have the plans.
I sent you an email this morning did you see it yet?
Hi, I responded to a few requests today that I found in my “junk” folder. If you didn’t get a reply with the plans please try again.
where are the planes???
Sorry, I don’t understand the question.
A0 drawing please. Thks
Please remand description and request through email robsrcplans@yahoo.com
So you seem to use a lot of tape on your builds. I used to build a lot of foam but they would get so beat. How does thr tape do to give them longer life. Does it add a lot of weight?
The tape waterproofs the paper so the control surfaces don’t warp. The foam still gets beat over time so they don’t last as long as balsa planes. It is 1.5 mil packaging tape so it is very light. I’ve also used vinyl, which is a little heavier but still worth it. Also, I like my planes to look good.
Please send the plans, I have sent you the email.
Hi, I can send the plans tomorrow but I don’t see an email from you at this time
@@thenerdoligist1292 please send your email address, i will send you email again
"ขอแบบแปลนได้ไหมครับพี่ผมคนไทยครับอยากทำเล่นบ้างครับช่วยส่งลิ๊งให้หน่อยครับ"ขอบคุณครับ"
Sorry, I can’t read your comment.
Got my foamboard. Dollar tree
But it's BLACK
Black works good but it is more difficult to see the pencil marks when copying the patterns. Dollar Tree sells clear packaging tape that looks good on the black.
