[taranjeetchawla]

amazing video good tutorial

[MrPacmanstudio11]

hi

did you ever do a more advanced series?

[rc18trocks]

the pdf isn't there!

[5eriyvolk]

Very detailed explanations and techniques - pleasantly surprising find for today and I've never done this sort of engineering. Now I'm pressured to build one for sure. Your time is well appreciated Dave!

[nuutkri]

how thick epp should i use??  please anwser, thanks !

[rcplaneflyer100]

@nuutkri 6mm

[nuutkri]

@rcplaneflyer100 thanks but i allredy made one out of 6mm depron, but thanks

[maddirk]

that was great stuff, informative and entertaining, thanks. - What's the girl look like ? :)

[idontcare80]

@maddirk She's in some of his other videos. She's very cute.

[TRSTUDIOSrecording]

that is so cool, and very helpful...thanks

[arsenalprasa]

how do you paint the planes

[stevepen50]

Great demo Dave, I'm soon about to start a self build plane so I'll start with Depron and use your methods. i'll let you know how things go.

[TheEchoshop]

Nice one Dave, i found you video very good - thanks again

[catamaranman333]

Out of all my planes, the extra 300 is still my favorite....

[nemoooo1]

hey were can i found more videos of u??????

[nemoooo1]

hey that is really cool the videos helped me a lot :-)

but i want to know about the motors and landing gear and rc that we should use for rc plane ??????

[alfeuss1]

Great job!

[macksta22]

ya my user name on ur website is marksta22u and i wanna know what i need to build my own rc plane and i just cant figure out what i need to get started if u can i could use your help mess. me on your website plz

[macksta22]

ya my user name on ur website is marksta22u and i wanna know what i need to build my own rc plane and i just cant figure out what i need to get started if u can i could use your help

[52outbound]

was helpful and i would like there to be a p-38 plane that is like that extra 300

[inoimcool1]

can't find the PDF plans!

[anoniemchannel]

hey man i whant to make this plaine but i cant find the prints on your page can you please help me and send me the link where is is i no its on rcpowers.com but cant find it there

[aaronrose83]

@anoniemchannel go to rcpowers.com go to any of the grayson links, on the menu on the left side of the screen there will be an "Rcpowers gear" option. once in there find the "rcpowers extra 300 motor combo pack" once inside of that there will be a free extra 300 pdf download. hope this helps

[lanceprime]

That was an excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[kevgaro]

Can you use the motor and fan from an EDF rc plane?!?

[alt572]

@kevgaro If you modify it.

[Boston2caleb]

I didn't get how to mount the motor can u show us how

[Chilll07]

Why do you use the carbon tube instead of the solid carbon rod ? IS there a big difference between the two

[tom98277]

Thank you for your videos they are very helpfull! Great job and keep them going...

[Rcflyyer1]

How many mm is the foam for the main wings? SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER!

[MrRudeDog100]

@Rcflyyer1 The are probably using 6mm foam.

[SoleGFXTube]

r u tom cruise?

[psychedashell]

How slow can these things go before they drop into a stall and if you tone down the controls how stable can they be?

[lorilynnzahottie]

Dave Said " I Hope That Was 'HELPLESS'"? In The Last min. ...LMAO !!

[BMXADICT7]

how many mm is the foam

[boomshot51]

@BMXADICT7 6mm foam

[wingstays]

USE WINGSTAYS to hold your batteries in place! and receivers etc.

check out WINGSTAYS here on YOUTUBE.

[koskorax]

Go to "rcgroups.com" for plans.

For beginners, I recommend delta wings like "Firefly" or "Pibros". These planes will get you many hours of fun for very little money and building time, and they are almost impossible to break.

[himarkalvin]

what are u talking about? there is no list

[LexLex0987654321]

I hope that's helpless?

[LexLex0987654321]

I hope that's helpless!

[pogostickboy1]

Don't taste me bro!

[Cowdrinkingwater]

Hey man please reply me. Or someone please help me.

In so many of your class videos, you keep mentioning about links. How is it I can't find any link?? I go to rcpowers.com and I don't see the "top ten list" links and the "free pdf plans links" and the "greyson" link etc... help??

[shubhamcoolrocker]

i live in india i wanted to know from where will i get all these stuff

the plans ,i have downloaded these but wat about the radio installations and the foams also the carbon rods

[shubhamcoolrocker]

i live in india i wanted to know from where will i get all these stuff

the plans ,i have downloaded these but wat about the radio installations and the foams?

[shubhamcoolrocker]

i wanted to know,i live in india

i got the plans but where will i buy all these radio installation and the foam

these online shoppe are too expensive + the customs

[mrfourtysevenman]

what i like to do is take t-pins, pull them at the top so it bends to a _|** shape, then glue it to the pushrod and snap a standard size servo horn and stick it in the foam and use that as the control horn. very solid control that way.

[SuperFukengruven]

Dave!!! help me man if ya can... 1 where is the first video of the series.... 2 I bought the beginner package that includes the sukoi but I cant access it :( also I tried to sign up for your forum and no pez on the sign up... appearntly it says im spam every time i use my gmail account :( anyways thanks if you can help!

[doctordev97]

i am 13 and have the same problem as Stickmen102

oh and try using a dremal to make the crevice for a carbon fiber tube

[doctordev97]

i am 13 and have the same problem as Stickmen102

[Paintballboy54]

Does anyone know where i can order one?

[Stickmen102]

Hey, how does one 13 year old kid, with no income, job or allowance begin making RC planes? I am very interested, but i am on a, well, fixed income.....Thankjs!! great vids!!

[DeaconLen52]

These videos are amazing, THANKS! Where can I find a complete beginner's kit with everything I need to build a plane (I need everything, I don't even own a plane). Or can anyone tell all the parts that I'll need and where to find them??

[tharmatatsme]

thanks alot! was a really helpful video!

[sootydave1]

Dave, Your video's are awe some to say the least, finaly i see how to do the motor shock, Cant find the link any other palce. Oh and thanks for getting me back into the R/C hobby. I got the wild hawk and the p51 mustang . brill aircraft. my only down fall is it's to windy to fly today.:-(

Dave

[heromanni]

Sorry if I interrupt but I would like to know that what is the plug called that you use between ESC and battery? I got exactly the same and would like to buy more if I found them somewhere. Thank you

[studionightbird0]

did anyone else think of Art Attack when watching this?

[tarlison2k1]

deflon and all those foams are rare here can we use styrofoans

[SayamPatel356]

What specific parts should I buy for beginners?

[gekopit]

Hey! If Two Servos Are Two Different Channels How Do They Come As A One Channel??? Answer Please!!!

[wassupdam]

@gekopit you get a Y-connector

[jerryluvjeslin]

wheres the link to the shock absorbiung mount link 0.0 ?

[mattcat011]

thanx



[MrTransformerdude1]

how do you know that lol

[hujipher]

hey alright thanks so much for this plane so i built it and used the grayson hobbies kit deal and i flew it all summer and last and i got pretty good i crashed it like once and from now on it doesn't break i have been flying for like 2 years but great stuff thanks

[vu3raz]

Cool... I never knew building a simple plane is that easy.

[vu3raz]

Cool... I never knew building a simple plane is that easy.

[asdfghjkl23588]

hey what type of battery did u use?

[sonyboy03]

cool



[Rcmanaa]

where can i get the electronics rods and carbon tubes and for how much

[EnterpriseXI]

what mm of carbon rod did you use on the Wild Hawk?

[sidraali384]

amazing



[aeromodellers]

Extremely helpful and a great great video... Thanks a lot... :)

[ChappersSP]

Hey Dave, thanks for the free plans. I tested mine today holding it vertically and it wants to roll to the left? I have my motor on the right and have pointed the motor down and to the right. Any ideas please? Thanks

[jwdavis1]

@ChappersSP - you're motor should tilted up and left (a shim down and right)

this should counter your planes natural force down/right.

[jerryluvjeslin]

hey ur web doesnt have the plan ? can u givme the link?

[newguy33X]

@jerryluvjeslin I clicked on the free one, signed up, and then there was a list of several free plans. Hope that helps.

[ripper9191]

@jerryluvjeslin if u got the link plz sent me too =D ty a lot

[rcsuperaircraft]

@RCGUY2512 It is 6mm depron or epp(epp is stronger but heavier)

[RCGUY2512]

is it 6mm or 9mm epp or depron foam

[fasterharderstronger]

How do you know that?

[alt572]

@fasterharderstronger i´ve watchedprobably every rc powers video. :)

[alexgomez123]

i hope this was HELPLESS!!!!!!!!!!

[RCGUY2512]

and im making a extra 300 and i need electronics

[RCGUY2512]

what motor and esc do u use

[alt572]

@RCGUY2512 He uses the micro jet combo from grayson hobby,for the extra 300.

[RCGUY2512]

thanks @alt572

[baeronautics]

how much weight did u put on forward?

[shreeshaipod]

i have a co axele 4-ch heli, do ypu think that i can make a rc plane out of it. all i can get is the foam, im not near any hardware stores so i cant get new motors or props or that stuff.

[shreeshaipod]

LOL flaprons, spoilorons they sound so funny.

[rjtdog]

im just a kid but you make this sound easy

[salem42salem42]

nice , mr rc powers - have made good progress with a new twin edf delta . have used stainless steel cup for thrust tubes , got to see it . salem42salem42

will emailpics

[MaverickGrabber71]

Very helpful, thanks

[iceboy1671]

i hope this was helpless

[bluzjamer]

Awesome vid, got one of these in a powered glider?

[Bumalicious50000]

what servos do u use?

[thander28210]

How do you know that ?

[MyCorsair]

If you put the fiber tape front to back to make the hinge instead of left to right would it make it alot stronger and more durable?

[Babaramin007]

Dave (I hope its your name) I am becoming your big fan man!

Recently a plane crashed near my home, I am Babar Amin from Pakistan - Islamabad... so I searched for the possible reasons and after spending some minutes I got your videos on you-tube...

I never comment on any video before this time you forced me to do this...

I like the videos and will send you my own planes pictures too...

[Babaramin007]

[rcstrenght]

about how many feet can the plane be away from yu before loin the sgnal withh a 6 channel radio.

[Trueflights]

@rcstrenght with a 2,4 ghz radio, you are looking at around 1600 ft (500m)

[DiesesedCow]

ohhh look how nice and tight that is!

[Juice151515]

12:42 thats what she said LOLOLOL

[cjsanchez1]

Hey dave whats youre email?

[hermitcrabstuff34]

i have depron

[PlaneNose]

Nice jop!

actually i had many many questions on the RC planes but after i seen this tape i found many many answers, but a question came up on the surface which i hope u to answer it, what next?

as a beginner what will happened after making a RC plane,

how could we go into competitives and shampionships with this sport?

as we in the arab countries we don't have this kind of sport widely used, so hope u to speak out with some ideas on organising and participating such events,

Thanks.

[finecutpost]

Excellent clear instruction tips Tahnks very much

[Penatendiffs]

the battery is on the left side, also the speed control and the reciever. The servo is in the middle of the plane. Do you think it is too heavy on the left side?

thx for answer

[Buckweed394]

Where do you get the whole electrical setup?motor, servos, battery etc.

[mindfreek454]

o i c wut u did thar

[Penatendiffs]

@mindfreek454

and what?



[Penatendiffs]

Hey ,

great Vid...i need a little bit help, can you watch my vid and tell me what i did wrong?

Search Depron Pitts

[Penatendiffs]

Can you tell me what i did wrong? Search Depron Pitts S2 please.

[creativelydone]

This is Great I have never tried making this before but still I can understand it easily

Thanks Dave.

[TheOrIsItSomethingWo]

12:40 thats what she said

[bloominglove27]

lol... He actually pointed at my printer!!!

[worldmp5]

What material is that plane mad off? Im realy thinking of making an own Rc plane :D

[ramicaza]

love the shirt... by the way I just made this plane I used 5mm mystery foam and that was too flimsy so I reenforced the whole plane and now it flys great! thanks so much for the pdf

[TRgrachan]

I've watched all of these and they have been a great help but, I still have a few questions. I'm new to this so I basically need a what to buy laid out in black and white. I've never tried to build anything like this before so I don't want to sink a lot of money into it only to find out that I've bought the wrong stuff. You seem to be a plethora of information on this topic so I was wondering if there was any way to contact you other than youtube comments. Thanks and godbless

[shody129]

hey please can i have ur email... i need to ask u sum stuff but youtube doesnt let me post it!!

[shody129]

hey dave! i live in india and just wanted to ask if these parts are fine for an extra 300 foamy plane :

[kloijhi]

thanks for great video, but as i mentioned, then in extra300 blueprint, you have blue detail (x2) but in video tutorial the plane have different detail construction... wing comes into one piece, but horizontal fuselage over it in another piece, but in blueprint horizontal fuselage+one side of wing is one detail...so in video tutorial plane is more logic built, than in blueprint.

where is a meaning of it?

[rcflight13]

2:54 How do you know you may melt your plane unless you test it? Sounds like a fun story.

[giocattolo011]

lol "You've shortened the learning curve for many.

Truly appreciate your videos! " no need to retype that.. great videos long time rc heli pilot about to build first rc plane (when i say 1st i mean ive had many that neverlasted to their 2nd takeoff :'(...) lets hope this is a cheaper option. :)

[lars12pokemon]

how you scratch building like the schoolbus

[Carlostrowbridge]

You are brilhante. You teacher everyone very well congratulation. You helppy me a lot Thank You again.

[samkatz1033]

i saw this guy flying planes at a park near my house



[hallio111]

wow your the only guy who explains the whole thing of building a rc plane, including the electronics, I ve been searching for that a long time! thanks!

[rhinogek]

that was helpless

[diegoled8]

Is it strong foam

[heberorozco]

@diegoled8 yes

[fastandfurioustokyo]

how do u put in an airfoil??? how would it fly without airfoil?

[heberorozco]

@fastandfurioustokyo glue it, without airfoil the plane will need more speed to lift off, airfoil makes the plane get more lift force

[baeronautics]

can u guys make a vedio explaining where can we get a radio for moving the thrust, elevators and other stuff and or how to wire the plane?

( dont mind if my question is foolish, cause i m just a kid)

[mattamos123]

you are very helpful me for showing me how to cut the wings...i need help with geting my piper j-3 cub to fly but im going to get new servos and speed controller stronger motor????????how can i more movemet on a slow stick

[Zoidborg1]

Good stuff Dave

I'm just getting a start and all your info is helpful

I'd like to see a FPV RPV how to vid cause thats what has got me into trying RC flying in the first place (free flight time)

[MegaBenji10]

2:55 how do you know that :D hehehe

[ps2freak136]

thats what she said to the hard the first time and quickand easiy the second

[DCPMAYNARD]

best place for epp foam blocks and sheets is diret from manufacturers, FOAMS4U DIRECT best prices around and very quick delivery, call Daniel on 07772 290636 he will help you out guaranteed.

[elmardus]

good vid!

[janaskhan815]

u r a artist

[OregonDARRYL]

Great instruction man. We appreciate it. Has anyone tried covering all parts with clear packing tape before assembling? I would think the plane would be faster, with less drag, and stronger too. No?

[veryonly1]

thanks 4 the download and its 13 pages i had 13 but the last sheet (for my printer it was the first sheet )had a paper glitch oh did you learn how to knife edge? how do you set up gyros?

[koolmini5]

Yeah very useful but can you get the motor push rods and other bits of your website

Also how much does it cost (I know the foam is around £10 for a bigger bit)

[plair473]

Wow!! This was a very good video! Thanks for all of the tips and tricks!!

[ollyshap]

good stuff, and amusing, keep doing it

[91361477ram]

Nice man !!! This is very useful for beginners !!!!

[willsgotbeer]

part 3 please!!!

[CoonBabble]

dave, do you want to build me one? ive got a paypal acct.

[digipoke8]

loks nice

[smiley3188]

great video i appreciaye your help

[harurocket]

I could not find the planning. where is the "airplane tab". Please help thank you.

[hmtdmt25]

Mahalo Dave! I like such an idiot because am sonew to all of this but you have definitely given me confidence in just ordering a new plane. I'm glad I found you guys this early in m flying career. Keep up the good work & I'll keep laughing my ass off while I'm doing sick acrobatics with something I made!

[catamaranman333]

Helpful.....as usual!

[jack895612]

alot of people make crapy videos but not u you rock

[rockerzac99]

Don't taze me bro! i lol'd

[glrfi4eva]

Keep this up, very helpful.

Do you have anything making a f15?

[Inacc0rdanc3]

would electrical tape do??

[cheeserocks927]

Do the pdf files tell you how to make the planes from scratch?

[ninjaraku]

for the carbon fiber rod you can find a tent pole from either a sporting store, or a sturdy plastic pole/rod from craft store, or there's always wood lol

[john31682]

will ca glue work ?? i have used alot of it and its prett nice nd holds great

[W01fman1487]

@john31682 from his other videos, he seems to dislike ca. I can see this being a problem for foam as the surface is not completely flat . ca works by being pulled into narrow gaps between flat surfaces such as gluing balsa pieces together. For foam, you almost have to use a thick glue like epoxy or hot glue to fill the gaps in the foam

[Badblueshy]

You own.

[bfine12345]

LOVE U MAN!!!

you are awsome
