World's First RC Flying 2x4 Plane with a Weed Wacker motor.Maiden Flight

[MrSlappy13]

what is the wingspan? and fuselage length?

[elpunto231]

Very nice man....

[malanga13]

before i left my country when i was 14 a plane like this one was my last plane i built for the club. except the body was built from an old broom stick i found along the road. the wings were done all by hand in wood, think plywood skin and it was a line control model with a russian motor 35. it flew fantastically well.i suffered from vertigo at the time and I designed a chair from which i could fly line plane without turning, and i flew this one for 10 days until i left.

[stevepen50]

Pretty cool

[yhosikrt]

hi this excellent congratulations .. Could you send me details of the material used..!!

Wing span..??

Length: ?????

Aweson..!!

[mephesis]

hahaha what a genius, subscribed!

[Streamliner009]

Isn't it beautiful when things just fly? What an amazing machine!

[imSMD]

you have nimh batery like me :D

i want to mod and put a weed wacker on my 2 meters IAR 80

but can you make a video how did you ''transform'' a weed wacker engine into a rc engine...please

of course GOOD JOb

[MrSlappy13]

I'm planning on building a rc plane with a 32cc Weedeater motor and wondered if you could give me some pointers?

[josephdupont]

Very nice.

[5quarter]

worlds first ??? about 30 years TOO LATE

ever seen the 5hp briggs 1/3 scale cub on floats it built in the late 60's

[jltaviation]

There you go man.. who said we have to use balsa, ply, foam or carbon fiber for a fuse??? Great job ... Have fun....

[tezzvids1]

Nothing wrong with the flight characteristics . Well done. Here in Australia we call them whipper snippers .

[codyboy29108]

Inspirational idea. Could you give specs on servos, wingspan and such? I have plenty of old weedeater motors and 2x4's.lol. Thanks for sharing.

[0xCr15]

what type of servos did this use

[kdc43]

A flying weed wacker....fly it around ma trees and cut down all the kudzu off of them.

[countryguy432]

What is the length of the plane and the wingspan?

[jeepers2655]

the flying weed wacker!

[Rocketryman]

When will the kit be available?

[CrashHancock]

This is great!! I'll be sharing this link in my next podcast.

Awesome! LoL

[SCIFIguy64]

REDNECK FLYER!!!!!

[gt40x4]

i really like the sound if it for somne reason!! i think i might try it.

[MrSBChevy]

that is freaking sweet man.

[arnoldaszlt]

soooo fuc.....ing niceeeee!!!! i love your model ;)

[66tbird1]

Why wouldn't it fly? You didn't push any design envelopes that I saw as far as stability. When I read the title I thought it had a 2x4 for a wing. Now that is pushing the envelope .. I've seen a 2x6 done but not a 2x4. Fun is fun never the less.

[krackanz]

Its not what you fly its that you are flying.

[tarashti]

Good flying,is this home made?

[billyd44444]

@tarashti LOL.... Yes build it in 5 hours and had 8 great flight on her...

[devinbencsik1]

why didnt tou use a weed wacker in stead of like a blower some blower haver jets to make make have more wind so you can get the propell of that

[martyisnuts]

thats awesome

[treeape69]

it's a 1by 2 not a 2 by 4 big difference!

[0696jesse]

you dont have a problem you have brains and will power great job very nice

[shockflyyer3d]

it seems to be very aerodynamic it just cutts through the air

[Nomoreidsleft]

It's that easy, eh?! The Wright brothers were over-rated. I wonder why they spent so much time at Kitty Hawk. Maybe they were there for the fun and sun.

[jonchall8]

@Nomoreidsleft The wright flyer's 150lb engine output 12 horsepower, so they were basically flying a 750lb (loaded, incl person) aircraft using 6 of these weedwacker engines.

[paraplegicmonkey]

Awesome! haha

[LIPOPILOT]

Got plans for it LOL! Great stuff.

[jackmanpilot]

Hey Bill I just got some old weed wacker motors from my uncle and I want to build something like this. I was wondering what you are using for the wing, tail assembly, servos, and so on. Yours looks great, hope mine will fly like that!

[dosfossil]

What you got there is some kind of unsophisticated beauty. You should be an Inspirational Motivator. No, thats not right. You are an Inspirational Motivator. Thanks.

[desperado4846]

wtf!!! a flying 2 x 4 thats freakin wild..lol great job!!

[MyRcTests]

Where is that feild at that at. I live in OHIO too

[backintack]

next up............brigs lawnmower engine plane

[FlyHighRC386]

is it powerful enough to power the P-51

[billyd44444]

No..it is like a 1.20 Glow or a 1.60 glow...

@FlyHighRC386

[BruceMan77777]

@billyd44444 hey how did you mount the prop on that shaft? and did you use the weedwacker throttle some how too?

[paulliedotcom]

That plane is so sweet! Nice build!

[PROWLER3WIRE]

Billy, two thumbs up on your aircraft design.

I have heard of sticking a plane.

But a plane on a stick is a new one on me.

Thank you for the information you gave me when we had the chat at

T W I R C . T V

about the D E P R O N

[pcmech1]

Are you going to offer plans for it? Could be the next big thing

[epoweredrc]

slow stick on seiriods good job.

[buderboi]

great job Billy, I want one! ;-)

[jeflatt]

that's sweet

[Binarykode]

NICE flies like a RFT awsome.

[santatigerclaus]

@IRisingFuryI

[CSX8663]

[hamburgrd]

[insAneTunA]

Great video guys :-))

[BMFoamy]

BruceM (BFOAMY)

[alexis221woodworks]

I like the way in banks.....

[tension888]

[BrotherBloat]

haha! that IS wrong indeed! :) awesome :]

[startazz]

Nothing wrong with that mate,if it works don't knock it thats what i say ;-) oh and when will i get to hear your wifes vioce on a flying vid LOL (private joke) thumbs up.

[TinkerManRC]

Very cool LOL and fuuny

[aluzhin]

Now that is nice!! : )

[AcesWorld80]

That is a holy airplane...  Great job!!! I t flies really nice too... After all, the fuel is cheaper... :D

[TheLipRipp3r]

hahahahahaha! Yeah....I've got nothing! lol Sure flew nice!

[w7mag]

Love it!

Gives me motivation to build my 4x4 plane using the twin Brigs & Stratton out of my old riding mower.

"That's wrong" Classic! LOL

[pcmech1]

That is so cool..Good Job!

[herseydimnd]

Sweet!!! Hope you don't get ahold of a pig - you'll probably make that fly too! :)

[FoamyDave]

Billy, you may have a problem but what a nice problem to have. Great plane. The cool thing is after you land you can do some yard work. I think a 14x7 would work best for trimming around the hedges ;-)

[billyd44444]

Thanks Dave!! that thing swings a 18x6-10 prop!!!

@FoamyDave

[gwsslowstick]

@FoamyDave That was F@*#ing funny!!!!!LOL.LOL.LOL.LOL

[hlbatesjr]

WOW, I didn't know that 2x4s could fly. Great job.

[shuttj]

Is that the weed whacker moter out of your *sniff* Spitfire?

[billyd44444]

@shuttj

Yes!! parts of it..

[tab1257]

love it!... agreed you should make a vid. on how to convert the engines :p

[dingo7222]

That is one nice flying scratch build!

[billyd44444]

@dingo7222

Built it in 3 nights..LOL and some beers!!

[rctestflight]

Sick!!! u should do a vid on how to convert those engines

[Omhra]

nice

[maverick00754]

nice one brilliant that was cool love it

[flyby8906]

Nice job just goes to show, you can get most anything to fly if you have the right setup and C/G great job Billyd.

[jeflatt]

nice!!

[theRCKingdom]

nice, lol ;-)
