homemade R/C glider

[pivotnoob236]

this can suck my dick

[Dudeimback29]

nice laminate flooring ;)

[Bobisawesome100]

Nice A-12 replica (more-or-less)

[mryellow123]

Nice shape, but why would a glider need a super-sonic wing?

óóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóó­óóhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[jpodejko]

what kind of chip controls the wireless connection between the ps2 controler and the plane?

[LoveThailand01]

haha you used rc to do this>>>>

[sshukri0]

how does the ps controller communicate with the reciver?

[dunkclimbs]

@sshukri0 did you read the link?

[popsnacks2]

dude the ps2 controller thign is cool!

[angrygunsmith]

y are delta wings always used for slope gliding?

[qacermacer]

because they are very effeciant and manouverable

[angrygunsmith]

i guess so, funny how full scale gliders still maintain traditional shape.

[qacermacer]

yeah

[pilotdynan]

can it fly?

[dunkclimbs]

@pilotdynan yea, it flies surprisingly well for a first attempt. my more recent efforts are powered by an electric motor which makes staying in the air far less weather dependent (and easier).

[duckpk10]

that is awesome and gave me a great idea for a foam glider im gonna be building thats seriously impressive with the ps2 controller

[cod4madass]

you should get a real rc transmitter with expo and epa and trims

[dunkclimbs]

that would defeat the purpose of building it my self though.

[Hello3427956704]

i think u should get a real controller.

not to be mean and all, that is very cool and impressive.

but a real conntrol is far more sensitive and easier 2 use :D

[dunkclimbs]

thanks!

[mordoringer]

whats the range? must be terribly short!

[dunkclimbs]

i presume you mean range of the RC?

i have not actually tested it's maximum range but it's over a kilometer Line Of Sight.

or maybe 200 meters with buildings in the way.

dunk.

[mordoringer]

thats pretty impressive.

[dunkclimbs]

thanks!

i'm working on a more advanced version that can do 2 way communication so i can get data back from the plane. battery life, airspeed, etc.
