Thank you for sharing, who makes the landing gear? All that is missing is landing gear doors and leds! A schematic of how you wired everything would be helpful, new subscriber.
Hi mate! Thank you so much for watching and engaging I really appreciate that, I can definitely do a little wiring video soon! Probably a short or siemthing but essentially I have the 4in1 ESC driving all 4 motors, and a separate bec circuit for all control surfaces
Hi! Do you mean print settings? If so there's a full manual included with the files that you purchase Essentially there are 3 main profiles a normal single wall profile, a vase mode profile and a standard one (for solid things like servo horns and what not) Thank you for watching I appreciate it very much
Hey! Yeah it's a very convinent way of running a multi motor, the only thing is make sure that you have adequate airflow as quad escs heat up a lot and are designed for quads where the airflow is high, unlike a plane fuz, Just get any 4in1 that has enough Amps for your motors brands don't matter to an extent, I'm planning on doing a follow up vid for this because I don't think a lot of people have thoguht of this install Here's the one o used for the Connie I just found this on AliExpress: AU$131.48 | 60A BLHELI_S 4IN1 3-6S Brushless ESC 30.5*30.5mm For F405 / F7 / F722 / F4 Flight Control RC FPV Racing Drone a.aliexpress.com/_mrPJU2F
@@locarshobbies Oh, that would be great. I am very interested as I am working on the An-225 with 6x EDF. when it comes to soldering and RC electronics, I'm not quite up to speed ;-)
Hey!, i followed the designers CG of 7mm behind the front markings, my understanding of a tail heavy aircraft is it being REALLY sensitive on the pitch axis, it may be tail heavy, but it didn't seem to feel bad enough... In fact i had to apply some down trim even, but yeah i dunno it very well may be :) THanks for watching
@@locarshobbies Thank you for answering my thoughts. It looked like it wanted to pitch up and not wanting to fly level. By adding down trim that tells me it's tail heavy some.
@@locarshobbies Sounds great, I will look forward to it. I 3d print planes and fly RC. I like this plane more than average as I flew in one across the USA in 1966 while in the Army. (Yeah, I'm 80 yrs old lol)
You could be right... my prototypes were also borderline tail-heavy. The CG range of the Connie is quite large, but I probably underestimated how much the positive angle of about 3° on the elevator makes a difference. Like the original, it is actually over stable. When flying quickly, it pulls up a little and slowly down a little
You are right, i totally agree!, the fowlers flaps work really well hahaha almost too well :D I experienced it up high when i deployed them it was SOOO Slow! and i made a mental note to consider this for landing, really should have gone no flaps, but decided to try half :) Thanks for watching and engaging! i really appreciate that
information people who design printable scale model aircraft always fail to use a not-scale, flat-bottomed profile. a wing should make 'a bit less lift' at its root. that is why, if one pays attention, it can be seen that at full size a nearly symmetrical root profile is used. 1345, 1424 the use of flaps is seldom recommended. this is so because 'extra' lift near the center line partially unloads the ailerons.!
Hey mate, thanks for that info, just so i understand, are you referring to potentially why i dropped a wing on the landing approach? Cheers for watching regardless! :)
I wasn't expecting this to fly...I was amazed... well done buddy!
Thank you! I too was initially then the designer showed me his flight and gave me more confidence 😊
Wow! That’s awesome, well done
She's a beauty eh, thanks for the kind words!
Awesome job, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment I really appreciate it

Oh and the landing gear is just a generic one from aliexpress lmk if you want me to put up a link to them for you
Awesome- do you have video on the printing process?

Nice! Never thought of using a quad motherboard as an esc for multimotor config. May i ask which brand and model did you use?
Hey! Yeah it's a very convinent way of running a multi motor, the only thing is make sure that you have adequate airflow as quad escs heat up a lot and are designed for quads where the airflow is high, unlike a plane fuz,
Just get any 4in1 that has enough Amps for your motors brands don't matter to an extent, I'm planning on doing a follow up vid for this because I don't think a lot of people have thoguht of this install
Here's the one o used for the Connie I just found this on AliExpress:
AU$131.48 | 60A BLHELI_S 4IN1 3-6S Brushless ESC 30.5*30.5mm For F405 / F7 / F722 / F4 Flight Control RC FPV Racing Drone

@ maybe you can use a heatsink or even a fan to cool it down as in rc cars where esc’s dont get enough ventilation
@@locarshobbies Oh, that would be great.

On my next flights I will try a bit more noise heavy setup it's safe to do anyway haha thanks though I really appreciate it

Nice work! You probably could have landed it without flaps. It is light enough in that wind, and the flaps' drag caused a tip stall.
You are right, i totally agree!, the fowlers flaps work really well hahaha almost too well :D I experienced it up high when i deployed them it was SOOO Slow! and i made a mental note to consider this for landing, really should have gone no flaps, but decided to try half :)
