I have a motor off of my old rc heli and want to build this...i have about a $50 budget. could i use the 370 speed motor (brushed) on this or is it not good enough??? im also thinking about making it thrust vectoring and moving the motor back a little from were it is in the plans..
i'm building that plane but i was wondering if i would put 5 dollar servos on it, would the servos brake if i crash? and where can i get the mixer for the evelon mixing radio system??
@Mumbamumba try a tower pro 2408 -21t prolly about £5-6 or about 6-7 euros nice little motor with plenty of grunt can be used in planes upto 700g ez ive got several one in a freeair su27 380g AUW on a 6x4 prop and its mental quick and one in my wing dragon 600G AUW and shoves that about the sky nicely
Good one Scott! FOUR pieces of Depron?!?! "Ohhh, verrrry nice"! HAHA! I think I may build this one! Good luck on the move Dave and Val! We will all miss Keith and Ron, but hope you guys enjoy the new scenery. Take some time off for yourselves! Scott did a fantastic job on this plane and vid. Let him take over for a little while and rest up after the move! Can't wait to see you back though!
mynameism0e or 55metalmonster whatever your name is your just mad that dave has actually made a company that makes money and your just jealous of that so you go right along leaving comments that are against him because at the end of the day no one cares what you think we still enjoy the vids and the comedy act with the awesome reviews
@marky1011 ,, In the Subscribe and information window at the right, click on the web address after "X-31 Free PDF Plans:". you will find that information there.
Scott AutoCADs, prototypes, does the final build, then videos an aircraft. All at his own expense. Then, he gives his hard work away as a Christmas present. And for all of his efforts, he gets to find out how many Ebenezer Scrooges there are in the world. And he gets to listen to the detail police. Scott has a different style from Dave but puts out a very good product. Try to enjoy the differences, and Mary Christmas to all of you.
o by the way that looks like a good plane, i might make one, all the other ones you guys have fly sooo good ,thanks rcpowers, this looks like annother good one!
WTF? Any plane could do a loop, there's nothing special about this one. Also check for TowerPro 2409 motor. With three cells and 25 amps it produces up to 35oz of thrust.
It's really quite simple. 1) Dont scrutinize 2)READ 3) IT'S IN THE SIDEBAR!!!!
Follow these 3 and you won't have any issues. It's not rocket science. Sorry to Dave, Val, Scott, and all who work behind the scenes to bring us great products! Thanks for all you do, some DO appreciate you guys. You all are great!
My dad told me if you don't have something good to say keep your mouth SHUT!!! All you people need to back off of RCPOWERS or they might just quit making vids all together.
you implied months, it's been a constant 2 years. If you meant he's been in our videos more often now rather than behind the scenes, true, but no one could read that. no worries.
Sorry, I didn't know much about RC Powers. I found this channel only a few months back (i think april at that too) and i've seen Scott Lott in a lot of the videos.
I thought the channel was relatively knew back then too because there were constant changes in the weekly schedules.
The thing is, even if i get the free pdf plan, i still have to get all the battery motors remote and all of the other components so i don't really need pdf plans that much.
In order for Dave Val, and Scott to make videos like this, and support their customers as well as they do, They have to love their work. The only really bad part about their business is dealing with jerks, and people that ask questions without reading or trying to find the answer first. Who would enjoy answering the same question 10 times in one post.
No, that plane is most certainly not stable. Beginner planes are planes that are slow, stable and easy to control. Jets like this are under no circumstances beginners aircraft. These guys are just trying to sell their plane to the crowd.
You words would carry more weight if you have flown this Jet. Granted, it's not a Cessna, but as a Jet, it is geared for the beginner in this class of aircraft. Also, what part of FREE PDF download don't you understand?
