Micro Drone V3 Build Video

[TheMusicslaves]

Shit m a fucking Begginer help help heeeelp ... M gonna loose my mind lol

[kram242]

nice job! Looking forward to the maiden

[7h3unkn0wn]

i´ve tried a lot of angles on the motor and it still moves to the left on the two microdrones i have build do any one know the solution? the airplane is well balanced i suspended the plane in wires and when i start the motor the plane start to rotate to the left this have got to do with something i don´t guess.

[rctestflight]

@7h3unkn0wn thats natraul. Its called torque roll but it shouldn't be that dramatic. If it is your motor must be to powerful or your prop is to big

[7h3unkn0wn]

why does this plane allways moves to the left is that due to the motor thrust or is it normal

[rockmuonli]

What is the AUW with FpV

[thatrcdude]

@rctestflight I'm building one now check out my chan!!!

[boomanfabo31]

Does it have to be depron?

[MrCommonlane]

@boomanfabo31 no but depron is the best i think



[DrWestSide1]

I´m going to build one plane like that , lets see if fly.

[alanball747]

Awesome videos!!!! Built my own version based on your design a few weeks ago and now on version 2 with even more tweaks. It can take a GoPro and FPV camera up front. Check out my channel when you have a chance.

[7h3unkn0wn]

Hi!

I´m going to build one plane like that but there´s somo people that put´s two vertical stabelizers and other mod´s my question is to glide bether can i put some more wing area and also on the horizontal stabilizer

TK´S

[MrCommonlane]

@7h3unkn0wn just to let you know i am not rctestflight

but the larger the wingspan the lower the wingloading so it will fly slower which w ill propberly make it glide not as well due to the drag.

i personal think that just keep to his plans at the moment having 2 motors causes 5 times more problems

all of his planes fly realy well so these no need for mods.

[FPVForLife]

When I heard that beeping, I thought my battery is finshed charging... :D

[heato82]

I want to buy one. Would you rather i message you or??

[orandaboy]

@heato82 lol just make it... it took me like less than an hour

[RcTranMD]

@orandaboy hey i made mine to but i put my own twist on it vid comming soon flies great use low throws though it a bit squirly cause the conrtol serface is big

[RCcrAzY1234]

when your battery alarm went off at 5:15 i turned my head to look for my charger...

[WWalter0227]

what do you use to cut the foam? please respond

[rctestflight]

@WWalter0227 a sharp knife

[boomanfabo31]

@rctestflight Also can i use hot glue to stick everything together or epoxy or something cause in the video u used some spray thing. And how did u mount the vert. stab. on??

[PowKa154]

how much should it weagh

[MegaMarshma11ow]

how thick is that foam that you are using?

[rctestflight]

@MegaMarshma11ow 6mm

[boomanfabo31]

@rctestflight I got my 1/2 foamboard today! Gonna build one, how does it handle in the wind?

[RcPlanesAreAwsome]

I have a Rx with a satellite antenna, does it matter (range wise) whether I mount it behind the kf step or on a popsicle stick on the leading edge?

[rctestflight]

@RcPlanesAreAwsome what matters most is whether you have it polarized correctly and in LOS

[RcPlanesAreAwsome]

How much flight time did you average with the video and plane running off a single 800mah battery

[rctestflight]

@RcPlanesAreAwsome like 8 min

[RcPlanesAreAwsome]

when you said 3 inches wide for the front pod does that include the walls or is that the inside space?

[rctestflight]

@RcPlanesAreAwsome walls included, you could make it 5" tho it wouldn't really matter

[theonlyorange]

Lol 5:17 - Thought it was my battery done charging. Actually looked over at my charger to check.

[PlaneFlyyer]

6mm depron???

[iaeg7]

ment to say plane

[iaeg7]

i am going to get a fpv system and make this plant then use it as a uav for airsoft

[Deluxe312]

Going to have to build this one soon. Loved how the Mini Cargo flew, so this one should be great aswell.

[thygekm]

Really nice plane, I'm gonna build one.

What is that pink foam you use, what is the normal commercial use, and where do you get it?

Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on it here in Denmark.

TK.

[rctestflight]

@thygekm its insulation foam

[F16V1PER]

You make amazing videos.  Keep up the good work!

[fishstick0071]

Good job! What is that grey foam and how did you shape it. Also , I'm ready for FPV but can't decide on a system. Any help would be awesome!!

[bassplace88]

Exactly how do the servos stay on the wing and boom? I have a hard time seeing them staying put. Also I don't understand the two antennae masts. One for video TX, but why the second. The plane RX? Thanks for this vid, cuz I'm trying to figure out which motor to use. I have the MicroJet, but I'd like to keep this plane small.

[rctestflight]

@bassplace88 glue

[davonizdashit]

how did u cut the kf airfoil just right?

[raptor3dpilot]

Do some more FPV with commentary videos with this plane... just stay away from the tree magnets!! ha

[DaCrab69]

hey Daniel, would this plane be good for a first fpv plane?

[rctestflight]

@DaCrab69 ya for sure, if your already good at flying

[DaCrab69]

@rctestflight wow that was a fast reply lol.

i have only flown a axn floater jet and your delta fighter which is easy to fly, how does it fly compared to the delta? ill post vids when i get around to make it :P

[belro17]

What's with the black tunneling around the corners

[pagani8]

how much does it weigh?(without the FPV equipment)

[Rawkusist]

protrudes from the leading edge of the wing! lol

[sk8rboy1255555]

haha i heard the lipo charger go off and was like hmm i didn't know i was charging a lipo.

[pagani8]

Would a microjetV3 34 gram motor work?

[rctestflight]

@pagani8 it would probably be to big

[pagani8]

@rctestflight Yeah... I was hoping it wouldn't be even though I knew it would :P I guess you can get one of the motors you have for about $6 from hobbyking but I didn't want to have to buy a battery ( I've got a 800mAh 2s)wait for the shipping... I also would love to build a plane like this but there are no very big areas to fly in for miles a few miles so I don't know whether or not to make this plane... how fast is it?

[belro17]

@pagani8 Yeah it would work. It'd be a little overpowered.. Scale up the plane about 25%

[pagani8]

@belro17 Actually, I just completed the plane with the MJV3 motor on it and I made it exactly the same except for the wingspan which is scaled up to 36" from 27" and it flies GREAT! I'm in the process of making a build and flight video, I made it out of 1" thick pink foam sliced into 6mm (1/4") sheets and it is super cheap foam but just as good as depron, so the foam for my plane only cost 75cents! It only weighs 10 ounces even with the 36" wingspan and the MJV3, so its really floaty still!

[seafury600]

is the clear tape your using just clear packing tape - i.e. not reinforced? (great fpv from the car vid)

[rc18trocks]

would it work with a rudder instead of ailerons? i have it all built but im not sure i want ailerons

[rctestflight]

@rc18trocks no, it has no dihedral

[rc18trocks]

@rctestflight what id i added dihedral and had a wing like pea tree MacFarlenes?

[rctestflight]

@rc18trocks it would be a lot easier and better to just make ailerons

[pagani8]

@rctestflight How do you recommend throwing this plane?

[rctestflight]

@pagani8 by the wing tip

[pagani8]

@rctestflight Okay, thanks. I guess I'd better make the wing stronger though, I didn't put any carbon rod in it since I used both on the tail. By the way, I built one it it flies great, thanks :)

[rctestflight]

@seafury600 yes

[chiavernwei]

LOL I thought my battery was done charging at 5:19

[sshukri0]

dif u say u ran your fpv gear and plane equipment on the same  battery? I thought that creates problems with the video signal?

[megaflyer99]

nice shorts :0

[rcjoseb]

Very nice plane.  Short and very informative vid!!

[catamaranman333]

I like the little camera protectors on the nose!

[Peanutdinos3000]

Your battery alarm went off and I thought it was mine...

[liambowers666]

@kangri5258 We don't have them stores :/ I have a source of depron but was wondering if this another type of foam or not and where to get it as depron is a tad expensive for me.

[melrobRTF]

@liambowers666 I live in the Netherlands. Got the same problem. How i solved it:

I went to this shop where they sell wooden planks to use as a floor. It is a custom to insulate your new wooden floor with Depron! Depron is a dutch company and one of its primary functions is this! so i could buy depron sheets 6mm 1x1 meter in mass! i bought 50 sheets for 30 euro :D

[MGCairtraffic]

@liambowers666 Try "blue-core" it is in the insulation section of Home Depot or Lowes ... they have 6mm-ish up through 3/4 inch.

Cheers

John

[liambowers666]

@MGCairtraffic hi John,

There is no such product in the UK's equivilent DIY stores, which is where my issue is, i may try and find a floor laying company like someone else suggested and see what they can do.

Cheers, Liam

[melrobRTF]

Great vid, its nice and short but verry informative and gives a good view of the plane. But will this set up work for the GoPro instead? My powers system is RCPowers style microjet v3 6x4 OR a slowfly 10x3.7 1100Kv (both are 3 cell)

[melrobRTF]

@melrobRTF and the gopro will not be an fpv setup so i gues it will work as the weight wont differ greatly... i think

[rctestflight]

@melrobRTF no its to small

[melrobRTF]

@rctestflight will a 25-35% scale up do?

[rctestflight]

@melrobRTF 35 would probably do, just make the kf fatter to

[melrobRTF]

@rctestflight OK thanks! What about a Kf 4 (under and on top?)

[rctestflight]

@melrobRTF I would go with the one I used, more lift

[melrobRTF]

@rctestflight ;)

[liambowers666]

Andbody in the UK have a good cheap source of this kind of foam?

[rctestflight]

@kangri5258 M3

[J3Cub2009]

Awesome! Might have to build one... I dont think you mentioned, what was the thickness of the grey depron?

[rctestflight]

@J3Cub2009 6mm

[w7mag]

KF works awesome.

[kuba651]

whoop whoop , in 240p :D

its totally worth it !

[maydin677]

What about plan?



[maydin677]

Nice video.What about plan?
