How to Build a Cardboard RC Airplane

[nygel38]

nice'



[dino312989]

What Size battery did you use?

[ThyBiding]

I'm curious too, where did the CG end up? Like, right at the motor, or behind it?

[msolaiman1219]

@DynamAero what kind of transmitter/reciever are you using?

[DynamAero]

@msolaiman1219 Spektrum dx7 and AR6100 I think.

[fishing8490]

can you tell me all the things you used in this plane?

[cooperhockey10]

where do u buy the parts for it?

[robertanold]

good job thank

[gauravbisht2000]

What is total weight of Plane including electronics ??

[shumy06domino]

is it in inch or in cm?

[DynamAero]

@shumy06domino Inches

@DynamAero hola me podes desir si la elise es propulsora o normal como en las aviones y le canvias el jiro al notor saludos y gracias

[volador688]

@volador688 hola me podes desir si la elize es propulsora o como las aviones y le canvias el jiro al motor saludo y gracias

[volador688]

@DynamAero cuanto pesa y que mtor tiene saludos

[gauravbisht2000]

can you please tell us what motor u have used ??

[DynamAero]

@gauravbisht2000 microjet V3 from graysonhobby

[punkedface]

Hi, very nice tutorial.I know it sounds silly, but will it be possible to use an rc car's remote control,motor and pcb and just mount it on the plane? It would be easier as i won't have to buy a remote control or motor and install everything.

[gauravbisht2000]

@punkedface

Hi I suppose, Transmitter will only work if that is 3-channel tranmsitter,

but car motor is big for this plane......and pcb mean ESC here ??

[kiswiliable]

hey. am for Africa(Kenya) n am really interested i wana build 1 bt we have limited access to some of these stuff. what sort of battery do u use? so that i can odder on-line

[wjionieis]

This is kind of strange but can you spray paint this

[DynamAero]

@wjionieis Yes you can. Keep it light though.

[iPodTouchHelp425]

Can i have a list of everything i need and an average price? Thanks

[DynamAero]

@iPodTouchHelp425 Yes. I charge $27.75 an hour for spoonfeeding.

[kiswiliable]

@DynamAero. the dude is just trying to learn. ease up

[cooperhockey10]

@DynamAero nice

[iPodTouchHelp425]

whats the min speed of motor i could use?

[iPodTouchHelp425]

Where do you get your components?

[jayantaghoshal1]

Good nice plain but its litl bit hard to build

[DynamAero]

@jayantaghoshal1 It doesn't get any easier than this!

[06802657]

How many channels did the radio you used for this plane have?

[DynamAero]

@06802657 My radio has 7 channels, but for this plane you only use 3. You must also have elevon mixing on your radio.

[levyjansen]

when you upload another video??

[DynamAero]

@levyjansen After I do something that I think people might like to see.

[levyjansen]

@DynamAero okay because I was curious about how you bauwt these:

[levyjansen]

RC plane firstt plane

[istratesebas1]

no sales of ready-made plane with all the pieces?

[SleBawe]

Very nice plane thank you .. can you please tell me where is the place for the battery and the receiver ?

[DynamAero]

@SleBawe I put mine right in front of the motor. You will have to figure out where to put yours to get the CG right.

[SleBawe]

@DynamAero ok i will ..  thanks for reply :)

[poppopscarvinshop]

Very Cool! Be Sure to Use A Very Sharp Knife!

Thank You!

[peppehardrock]

USEFUL VIDEO!!!!!

[Tsavah]

It was very clever to use cardboard. I think I will do a near copy using this cheap insulation board that was cut a bit rough. Not going to sand it much, if at all, but I will do a paper-mache' finish with paper bag/brown wrapping paper that is a bit thin. Someone might think it is very thick (1/2") cardboard. Thanks for sharing.

Where did the Center of Gravity end up on this one?

[DynamAero]

@kaptainzer0 About 7 inches back from the nose.
