Glad to see another video! Always enjoy them. Great little project, fun, well documented. Thanks for sharing!

Always fun to see what you have created, and you can have family fun time! Thank you.

Thanks for watching!

An old-timer at the RC field many years ago taught me that as soon as you go inverted (or launch inverted like you did) put your thumb behind the stick so you can only push and never pull the elevator stick. Of course this only works with Mode 1, and is one of the many benefits of Mode 1 for aerobatic flying. Separating the elevator and aileron sticks allows much more precise control over Mode 2.

Nice built and nice flying. Back then 25 years ago we printed the plans mirrored (or rather copied them with the copier) and then ironed them onto balsa wood with an iron. I don't know if this works with paper foam boards also. But might be worth a try.

good job.

You make the best videos!

You're welcome!

Just watch out guys for the density of the foam board cause it has a big impact on the weight of the plane. I used by accident high density foam board and it added 60 grams to the rc plane😬

Hi. Just seeing this video now. Awesome sub 250 plane. To make sure I printed the plans correctly. Can you tell me what the expected wing span is for this bird

how did you get the scaled up one

I was taught a trick years ago about flying inverted. You imagine that your stick is extended down through the bottom of the transmitter.

where should the cg be at?

Centre of gravity is not mention in video

What channel should i put the servos on

hey, where abouts is the cg for this plane?

Hello sir. I want to download your plans modified with the airfoil shape on the wings. How I can do?! Thanks

Thanks for that Lost Wax! Really excellent video and witty dialogue! Instructional too! If you get a minute, can you tell us what mini camcorder you were using?

Sure thing, the camera I had mounted on the plane was a Firefly 2. I did need to make the plane lighter to keep it all under 250g though.

Ай бұрын

I honestly don't really know, I don't have one set up at the moment, and I never really measured. My guess is somewhere around 1/3 back from the front of the wing.... ish... I just move the battery around until I like how it flies.

Any chance that you could post a tutorial on how to add ailerons? also would a 1400 kv motor be enough to power this?

@LostWax2

2 ай бұрын

Hmmm, I have added ailerons to one of them since then but I have yet to fly it! What I did was add a single servo in the centre of the fuselage that controlled both ailerons. But again, I haven't tried it to see if it works in the air:)

Can you tell me what onboard camera did you use and its weight, cause my f-16 is a bit to heavy so I need to put the lightest camera possible.

@LostWax2

4 ай бұрын

O.K., so I used a Firefly 2 camera, and it, with the 3d printed mount I made, weighs 38g. However, on the plane I mounted it on, I built lighter than the one shown on the video- I used as little hot glue as possible, I used lighter 5g servos and a tiny little receiver. It all just squeaked under 250g by a gram or two.
