      Thanks mate! Glad you found it useful. 😊

    I use a soldering iron and metal ruler to melt half way both sides wing and then I fold a sandpaper to smooth them and it works good

      I'll have to try that, thanks.

    These gliders are splendid for use as a basic airframe to experiment on!
    You'll need three Lidl gliders to complete my "Scaled Composites White Knight Two & SpaceShipTwo Launch System" though! 😆
    That'd be a fun project!

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Indeed they are, and cheap too. Get started on the "Scaled Composites White Knight Two & SpaceShipTwo Launch System" and let's see the video 😉

    I love this videos! Thanks very much for taking the time and effort.
    I find cutting a slot in the wing leading edge (to take the Futaba cable/s) is good for small foamies.On larger models the semi-circular (sic) cross-sectioned leading edge, hollowed out, can take a surprising amount of cable,flaps,ailerons,retacts,lights!, all easily accessible as its easily removable with a scalpel!.

      Thanks mate, slot cutting no doubt a better option! 😉These little gliders are great for experimenting with!

    Just a quick question did you have a problem where the brushed motors overheat because I Mande one and both motors overheated and melted the glue out of place

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Wow, that's amazing! No I didn't have a problem with overheating. That must have been very hot. Was that with a 1s lipo and 55 mm propeller? I use 55mm props and about half of the motor is sticking out front in free air. I could imagine if the whole motor was in the foam it would get more hot?

    • @astr0yt344
      @astr0yt344 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used a 1s lipo and 55mm props but I put the motors far inside the the wing so it got no air and the foam insulated the motors

  • @TrippyFPV469
    @TrippyFPV469 ปีที่แล้ว

    great vid! Question: Did you connect the motors to the ESC in parallel or series?

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Nizar, In parallel. I'm not sure if they would work in series, each motor would only get 50% of the voltage supplied?

    to run the cables why no just cutting with a knife

    • @bobflyman
      @bobflyman  ปีที่แล้ว

      It would have been easier. I wanted to hide the wires inside the wing.

      That looks very delicate work. 👍
