Just finished building it. Flies great, like you said, it likes speed. I had the elevons set at the same level of the wing and I was having to pull up quite a bit to stay level. Didn't know wings are normally set up with reflex. Adjusted it and all is well now. It will be a fun fpv platform
YES! I am glad you built it! Pretty nice, eh? Yeah wings need the reflex to act as a "downforce" on the "tail"(if there was one). This keep the center of lift constant with the center of gravity. If you look up "rcmodelreviews" he has a 2 part video on flying wing aerodynamics that explains a lot! Once again, Happy to hear you made it!
Lord of the Wings I’m still flying this one. I’m just having trouble with esc’s giving out on me. It went down once with loss of control and the only thing I came up with is the 12a esc was too hot and it shut down. My spitfire done something similar but it still had control and battery voltage was fine. I immediately removed the 30a esc and put it on the wing thinking it would be plenty and was working fine for a few days. I went out flying again and noticed a hiccup in throttle while flying, brought it down and it started to stutter at low throttle but spinned up fine at higher throttle. I checked online they said it could be a bad solder or connection. I checked all of that and the motor for damage. I tired the esc on another motor and behaved the same way. I’m only using a 5x4 prop and half throttle most the time. I don’t see why the esc can’t keep up. I’m going to try my luck with a 50a esc and if that doesn’t work, look into an alternative motor (using dys 1806 2300kv right now)
Thats really odd pan tac, I am using the exact same motor and ESC and have had long runs of full throttle. What 12a esc are you running? I wouldn't go much larger than the 12a or an 18a on this wing as you do not want to load it down too much. maybe try a better quality esc? what battery connector? If you are running a red JST, you may want to upgrade to an XT30/XT60
Lord of the Wings does your motor or esc ever get hot to the touch? I was using a HTIRC Hornet Series 12A Brushless ESC For RC Models from banggood. The heat seems to be less when I lower the camera power but shouldn’t have had to do that but it’s still pretty hot. On this wing, when I have the power setting at 200mw (tx03) on camera it’s fine until I move the servos and then the picture flickers or it turns off complete, doesn’t do that on the f959 and only difference is this being powered by a 3s battery. On my f959 I use full transmitting power for camera. Besides the f959, all my connectors are XT60. Idk I’ll keep trying, it’s a fun plane to fly
It is pretty fun, and easy to build, as you know. I am running a bl heli ESC. Sure it gets hot, but I get no surging or power issues. Keep at it, i'm sure you can figure it out. How is it to fly FPV? I haven't tried yet.
Thanks for the idea. I am making mine 24" after all but am using a kfm4 wing style with steps top and bottom. It will be about 1 gram more this way but will be more stable at all speeds and I was able to achieve this by stripping the paper off the backsides of the step pieces and selectively cuting the paper off the main sheet 1 cm back from the joining point so that they overlap. I will post a link to my youtube page for the build once I am done.
i built this wing 2 years ago and added a flight controller and fpv to it, was really fun. only downside was that i crashed it a lot and so it became to heavy over time lol
thanks for posting. some thoughts servos could be mounted closer to the cg and farther inboard; would increase stability. servos should be oriented at 90 degrees to hinge line. for less prop squeal, use a 'stiff' apc electric pusher or equivalent. (a prop that light cannot shine through) cheers
Quite fast. You might get more progressive roll and yaw control by combining rotation of the wing tips with the elevons which can then be reduced in size
I do not remember what the angle was, but the original design is here www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1252282-24-DS-%28Dead-Simple%29-Flying-Wing-Pics-Video-Plans
It was actually a flight test mighty mini arrow mount. its literally a C channel made out of foam board with a wooden firewall on the end. zero degrees thrust.
hiii , can i ask i wanna build flying wing with rcx 1407 5" prop 350mah 3s servo 3g and esc 20a with bec can i build like ur wing ? or recomended esc and servo , thanks (sorry im from asia my english so bad)
where did you get the wing layout from? i was hoping to get to build this but i cannot find anything like this on the internet. i am very new to the topic and was hoping for some help.
I might do this build but make it A 30inch and run A 2212 1800kv 2/4s maybe little bit lower kv and A hobbywing Skywalker 50A 2/4s.. emax micro servos on A 3s lipo should be good
@Jacob Sebastian A flying wing is probably a bit much to handle.. this would be a good second or third plane. I would suggest checking out flite test and the tiny trainer.
Nice! Much quicker than the filtetest builds I do, and it looks like a pretty great flier. If I put a hole in the ground with my Rad jet, I might build one of these next. I have the same radio you are using, that thing is amazing for $50!

Looking forward to you build video :)
Awesome! Thanks for keeping it a simple build . I ordered the flite test mimi arrow. Gave me some ideas for my build. 🤙
i built this wing 2 years ago and added a flight controller and fpv to it, was really fun. only downside was that i crashed it a lot and so it became to heavy over time lol
Nice build,seems to fly good, weight is perfect , especially with the new rc rules.
Yep, pretty soon that maybe all we're flying
Your best video yet! I'm definitely going to build one!
Beautiful build and flight!!!
the background sky is beautiful!! artist choice.
I might build this one next. I have the motor and esc already. Looks like it can be a good start to get into wings.

I love building these foam board planes. Great build. Subbed.
Quite fast. You might get more progressive roll and yaw control by combining rotation of the wing tips with the elevons which can then be reduced in size
Hello nice Video! do you think this will work with a 50mm edf 4900kv engine?
I've never built a plane before where can I get the plans from thanks
how big was the printout of your blueprint on paper?
I make arrow plane like that?
hey pls answer me whats your wing sweep angle
I do not remember what the angle was, but the original design is here www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1252282-24-DS-%28Dead-Simple%29-Flying-Wing-Pics-Video-Plans
@@lordofthewings4578 thx
How long did it stay up ?
İ have same stuff but a 2800 mah battery which is too heavy for your scales i guess. So i will make a 3/2 scale and try to fly it.
I wonder if upsizing it to 30" and using a 2208 would make much of a difference weight wise. Guess I will just have to try.
simple and fun, great build👍
nice im going to try and make this
Did you use a little ply wood in the power pod or is it just foam board?
Awesome! Added to my todo list! 😀
That disc plane..I have a plane called the platter that was a classic trainer for years. Look same
very good.flying great
How did you construct the motor mount? Is there any down thrust added?
It was actually a flight test mighty mini arrow mount. its literally a C channel made out of foam board with a wooden firewall on the end. zero degrees thrust.
Foam size in mm?
Bizde yaptik aynısını, ama donerek gitti çakıldı. Nerde yanlis yaptik
Where are the plans ?
How did u manage to run the fly sky receiver on 3s, it didn’t fry?
No it runs off the BEC on the ESC @ 5v
@@lordofthewings4578 I see now thx for replying
What is the size for propeller?
And is this reverse one?

nevermind i spoke too soon
with no gyro :D?
EH! thats something i could get into! lol thnx nice video
Can I use 1000kv motor (weight 700g)total
how many battery or motor volt?
dimensions plzzzz
The are in the link in the description :-)
hi, how long coud you fly this plane with the 2200kv motor and the 800 battery?
Hello there! I would fly this for 6-7 minutes and land at 'storage' voltage.
Hi, i'm interested in building this plane, looks really good but i was wondering how you printed the plans. Did you use A2 paper? Thanks
I printed them tiled on 8.5 x 11 then taped them together.. real simple!
What the motor type?
pretty good dude !!!!
Big like for you 👏👏👏👏😍🔥🔥🔥
What thing did you use for a wing?
Dollar tree foam board! You can also use 6mm depron
Thank u so much
I might do this build but make it A 30inch and run A 2212 1800kv 2/4s maybe little bit lower kv and A hobbywing Skywalker 50A 2/4s.. emax micro servos on A 3s lipo should be good
30/36inch
Motor firewall build would be great and servo mount location please 🙏
If I'm not mistaken that's a Flite Test Mini Power Pod. Build video can be found here: th-cam.com/video/axOnU5GKSJI/w-d-xo.html
What type of battery is this?
850mah 3s lipo
LED's would be awesome
How'd you learn to fly LOS? I can't do it.
Practice, Practice, Practice.
@Jacob Sebastian A flying wing is probably a bit much to handle.. this would be a good second or third plane. I would suggest checking out flite test and the tiny trainer.
Actualy i got it just saw ur link
Pretty fast too.
It’s called a delta wing as a simple name
Slightly sceptical of 12a esc with 3s 1806 on 5”. Otherwise fantastic video!
It handled it just fine!
Y es cool
Only the motor costs 10
I want it
so make it -:)
Exactly this! I started the video at 4pm and was at the flying spot by 6pm.
Nice! Much quicker than the filtetest builds I do, and it looks like a pretty great flier. If I put a hole in the ground with my Rad jet, I might build one of these next. I have the same radio you are using, that thing is amazing for $50!
If u dont mind please can u send me a maesurment of wings?
see this link.. it has full plans:

@@lordofthewings4578 can you tell me the wing sweep angle
Microphone says: What?
HaHa on top of the crappy mic, i had a major sinus infection that week.. i had about three 'takes' in the video where i sneezed in the middle of it.
i semll cap
? kv
it was a 1806 2300kv motor with a 5" prop
this is Push prop right ? and what is the size of this propeller ?
