AeroAce X-Twin Conversion Big Easy Sailplane

do you add air foil to any of these planes

@freakonflight

Airfoil is really not required at these low speeds and low wing Reynolds number. Mostly the inertia of the air that "floats" the plane. So a flat slab wing works fine. I used to put a crease in the wing just to make more rigid. But try thin bamboo cooking squeres (like in sish-ka-bob) to stiffen the wing at very light weight. Experiment!! That's what is great about these simple airplanes that you can build in an eveing!

good landing keep on making these they are great

I was wondering about extending the antenna, good idea. I put Aero Ace gear in my Foam Jet II, glider built from foam plate and meat tray. I have a short video on YouTube under youbub33. Bill Kuhl

That flies really nice, any range problems? 

[starbase1127]

@ScienceguyOrg

I always add another 12 inches of ine copper wire to extend the tiny aero ace receiver original short antenna. This seems to extend the range so that I can easily fly these little airplanes out at least 50 yards. This is plenty of range for great flying fun. Remeber the first rule of RC flying: if you can't SEE it you can't FLY it (heh-heh!).

i put my parts from the msr with the exception of the motor, on a similar plane and it flies awesome, but id like to put it on this one!

[ernshengjoel]

please can i have the plans?

[nickbdm]

hi, can you tell me how you make the aerofoils? do you just bend flat sheet? thanks

[drbazik]

Escuse me

You have one plan of this plan ?? its realy nice i want the same :)

thx dr.bazik@gmail?Com

I just sketch up the parts on paper to the size I wawnt, then use the paper template to cut out the foam. add tape fro reennfforcement, stick on the motors and Rx, move the battery around while glide testing. Then paint and fly! Foam is so cheap just experiment a bit!!

is it possible that you could make a vid to make this

[liloliver2007]

how did u connect the two motors together

[starbase1127]

@liloliver2007

The aero ace circuit board has the motors already connected. Just remove the electronics from Aero Ace, and put in the new airplane!

you are a god!!!!

[coatduck]

I built one like that a couple of weeks ago, ahh well great minds think alike

[Wilzaza]

very cool it looks nice its small and it looks so easy and fun to fly!

[airsoft1213]

wow!! very very nice plane!

[GoldenButterscoch]

do you think i could make a micro plane out of a transformers starscream rc plane?

[Wilzaza]

yes
