How Much will it cost to get a pre built one because I love rc planes but I'm only 14 :( and I live in the uk :'( where I live I can only get £20 foam planes that don't last a minute
Go to RC groups and do it yourself. There's a lot of places to buy premade (RTF or ARF) planes, but I don't know of any in the UK, nor trade laws with places like China or the US. RC groups has a lot of experienced folks who would be more than happy to help you out. 20 £ of blue foam will last years, and you can get fantastic electronic prices on Hobbyking (Hong Kong, so import should be fine). Just remember to buy decent stuff the first time, or you'll end up spending more later on.
i just saw a video on here of the prototype monster jet from grayson hobby a 36mm diameter motor. 2400kv on a 3 cel. the people testing it had it on a f117 with a very boxy front end and with a 7x5 prop they had the plane going just over 90mph. was wondering if u guys got one of these to test? id love to see your t50 blow the doors off the f117 they were using.
@RCSuperPowers G'day... Engineering Challenge...; could you do a Foamie R/C Version of the Triple Variable Geometry (Area, Sweep, & Span) World's Best Paper Aeroplane ? (Search 'Origami Aerophysics', for a Triptych of clips on that one...). I look forward to seeing your best efforts at emulating it's efficiencies.
Very nice job. The plane looks like a lot of fun. And for those who observe that the video is a commercial, or contains a commercial, I can only respond, "So? What's your point?" RCPowers is a commercial operation. It ain't the United Way, and it ain't the Department of Agriculture.
You think? I have purchased all that they offer. Every plan, the Ultimate Course, and parts from Grayson Hobby. So I think my support is up there with the most ardent fanboy.
@skyfual Scott isn't the "new guy", he's been with RCPowers for years and has done RCPowers videos before. He's usually lurking in the background designing planes, answering emails and forum questions. He's done an excellent job with this plane and deserves the limelight on this one!
Now I know why I usually don't watch these videos anymore... So boring.
Stop recording the words in the studio, let's hear the field banter again. And while your at it, fly Keith up to Oregon to fly with you Dave, your videos with him are the best ones you ever made.
@JimEdmiston On the issue of whether it is (or isn't) engineering, I tend to agree with you. From the beginning, engineering has always been part science, part aesthetics. Moreover, science does not have to be math and physics. Often it is merely observation, change one variable, subsequent observation, change one variable, etc. Repeat this loop until design objectives are met.
@GreenAce92 I'll add one thing, there is no math, really involved or study of dynamics it's a foamie rc plane, you don't need to "engineer" it to work... most of these airplanes you could copy, build a test glide version, modify the CG location, chuck it and get the CG location down, then build the powered version.
I am soon to be an engineer myself, and it certainly is not "tack pieces together"
Scott has done a great job on this, it's one slick little plane! Fast, maneuverable and those canards give it a very organic feel that makes it a joy to fly. It's definately my new favourite plane.
So every Monday will be infomerical time. There was a time you gave great information now all you do is hawk the "Ultimate RC Course". If you want great info buy, buy, buy. . .
I agree about the freek part, Crankshaw! I haven't seen squat from you on this plane yet! Where's your 90mm 6s EDF version? I know when you do it will be fast. Tried the v1 on 4s- must reinforce the canard/LERX for that kind of speed! The SMJv2 is plenty fast on 3s!

@JimEdmiston not to get into a feud here
I suppose I could have termed it "Innovation" of another one's design
He could be engineering the parts to make it as simple as possible, the pieces
Anyways I'll just stop blabbering to save others and myself
