How many meters is wings width?

Don't know if this part of what you're about but I might as well put this out. I'm retired and kinda working on my bucket list one of the things I always wanted to do is fly RC partially a plane I built. As I looked around I found some foames made by Volantex and for me they have proven to just the ticket. What is working so well with me is they have this 6-axis gyro system a kind of auto pilot that when I switch it on straightens up the plane. How this works is I start at beginner level and get the feel of the plane and sticks, after I'm comfortable with this and most likely begin to develop some muscle memory I switch up to intermediate level were l have more control and can maneuver the plane in more radical maneuvers. In this mode I can learn by experience how to change my heading using just the rudder amongst other things. If I get into trouble I simply switch it back to beginner and the X- pilot ( Volantex name for there 6-axis gyros ) straightens the plane up and I try again. I am now too the point were I can fly it on expert mode ( no gyro assistance) for several minutes now before I have to go back to some help from the gyros. At the rate I'm learning it won't be long till I won't need the gyros. So here's my question is this technology the 6-axis gyro system available to be plugged into or part of a receiver that could be used in a plane I build?

I know very little about airplane design, I usually grab my foam board and cut, glue and sand untill what I'm seeing my head is eventually sitting in front of me. 80% of the time they fly pretty good and the more I watch these videos they do even better. It's been a fun journey.

I never plug the red wire from the esc to the receiver Watching that the esc ad a problem I will not ask what brand it’s

Next time you have dings in the balsa spray it with some water and put your hot iron on it. Like the blocks for the crutch. I need to get into 3d printing. Mike

I don't think enough emphasis is put on the meditative aspect of building balsa airplanes. The more focused you can be, the better the result. New subscriber!

I don’t think I actually thought about the ratio when I set up my control rods to my control horns in consideration to how much more the servo could put into torque. This is awesome man I would never have even the slightest thought about it 😂

A great video

That's a doll😂😂lol

I'm a 67 year old man that when I was 5 got one of those balsa gliders you talked about. Went on to build a number of balsa and tissue mode airplanes including a glider made by Thermic? It was called the trooper, had a ball flying it. I also learned how to build very complex models of my own design using nothing but paper. So now that I'm retired one of the challenges on my bucket list is to build a RC Spitfire using paper as the airframe and covering. One of the problems I was trying to solve was what size motor, so this is useful info thanks. In another non flying model had problems with motor overheating so I installed a water jacket around the motor. It worked very well, maybe copying what the 109, Spitfire, Mustang etc did could solve the overheating problem just like the full-sized aircraft did. Yes it would add weight but then it would allow the motor to pull that weight longer and harder.

Nice. You should try homesote for your building surface. Last many years and easily takes t pins. I'll have to try that glue. I use epoxy on my doublers. Mike c

Ok, this is cool.

Looking forward to it!

One of the best things with old kits is the hours of just staring at the plan and building it in your mind. Hours of fun and free of charge. 🙂

Have you flown your Airbike?

Are the gear controller PCB still available? I have the code that b delapena sent me, but have no idea if the PCB's are available. Thanks

Did you lay up the glass fuselage or purchase? If purchased may I get contact info even if its a website,Thank You

My instructor many years ago told me something that has stayed with me to this day. SHIT HAPPENS.

Impressive! That mechanical nose gear door actuation is art in motion.

Thanks for sharing all the details. I've been doing SLA prints for 3d pilots and it's been a learning experience. Love to see how others do it.

Brother I'm a pipe welder/ fitter for a living and I've searched hight and low for prints like the one you got. Only problem, it's too blurry to make out. What's the chances of you sending me a copy of them

It is all great

Looking forward to AirBike videos.

Smart. Thanks for the heads up 😊 I separated the landing gear from the flaps so I can adjust the landing for my F8F Bearcat. Was this the right thing to do?

I remember seeing that years ago on your b-36 build thread.

3d Printing Tip: you can use acetone to smooth out the 3d printing lines.

Just wish that I had the gear to be able to do things like that

13:59 Every ebike battery is being parallel charged when you charge it. The only difference is those batteries cells are paralleled by a bus and you are paralleling the cells with the balance leads. I would trust this method since its just charging at 1c so if the packs are not total 💩 they will not try to have high current in the balance leads since the packs are all balanced. Your last example of the 4s that sagged to 3.8v but had cell differential of only 0.01v tells me that pack is still good but as you stated just needs to be used where burst amps is slightly lower and continuous amps less than 50% of that.

Looks awesome!!

Cool! In last weeks I was thinking about this. I’ll need to write the options down. Truth is the max torque of the servo is always the same as the force on the rudder if the deflection, size and speed is the same. So for maximising the force the horn on the servo should be short (high force on the wire) and long horn in the rudder to maximise torque on this one…. But if it’s a slow model or acrobatic more throws would be needed instead of torque/force on the rudders…..

In short, always balance charge, always check your settings, always be nearby, and make sure they dont get hot

It does look like a really good kit to have

Looks Good I want to build one for the back of my truck. Can I get a copy of the 3d files.

Great 👍

Nice jig. Dag do you have a discord server?

Look forward to seeing this in action!

Did you finish the L-19 yet?

Eamonn is a legend!

Hi Damon since I began to to drive RC cars a couple of years ago with my daughter I thought about this idea since I am a new pilot around 1 1/2 years and the last month or the last have been flying. I think about this regularly it would be cool to fly an EDF information to the car and see how it goes on For example 100 miles an hour maybe more it’s really amazing how fast the planes can go in comparison to the speed in our cars but as you say there are a lot of dangerous things about this idea so you had a lot of luck that nothing went wrong and everyone of us has done dump things when we were young so this was one of those and thank you for the story. I have enjoyed it and I enjoy your channel. Have a nice day Francisco. Excuse me I’m driving and this was with speech 🎤…

Depending on application, some batteries have a very good gravimetric energy density and also a relatively high internal resistance. For low current applications that’s just fine and capacity/ flight time can be increased by as much as 80%! Problem is most RC airplanes are horribly inefficient and power hungry.

My 8 year old started on a valiant tail dragger a few months ago the only plane out of 7 that we have that’s not a tail dragger is his habu ss he flies on 6s now..

Neat design. I think I will try something similar for my car. Did you consider using rigid insulation instead of plywood? If it works, it makes it a lot easier to handle. Maybe use fibreglass top and bottom with rigid insulation if the insulation isn't strong enough by itself?

I wonder what ever became of the B-36 model? I watched that build for years and it went away…. It was my favorite. The big stick!

Your videos are number 1. Been a pilot for over 70 years.

I’m a member of 2 clubs and live about 20mins from AMA Muncie I’ll be at the national fun fly at the end of the month hopefully I’ll see you there and could you bring your battery case? I’d really like to pick your brain about it! Thanks Joe Walker

O_O that was FN close..

Wow. 😮 Great shot. But at the size you build... A pucker moment for sure

Damn bro

They are not pro-rating. You still pay the full price for less time. Now they want to tack on even more money for less time? No. Just no, man.

I didn't realize this was electric until I watched your other video of the burning ESC.
