Project SuperNova Part 3 (FAST Scratch Built RC Plane)

This is Part 3 of the SuperNova project. In this video we take the 95 percent complete SuperNova out for the Maiden Flight. We find it to fly very similar to the original NovaJet, only with more power and speed..

[FairviewRCflier]

what are your expo and dual rates set at?

[rcFoamFighters]

@FairviewRCflier On my SuperNova I set the Dual rates to 75% and I did not use any EXPO. My plane is nice and stable and very touchy. It is actuall very easy to fly and very stable.

[rcFoamFighters]

@rcFoamFighters oops meant to say "Not Very touchy". it feels locked in and does what you want it too. i think this is still one of the best flying planes I have designed.

Hello everyone ...

i want to know when i want to flying this plane , i put the throttle speed full or what ??

sorry for disturb ..

Best Regards

@Nobel0 The SuperNova I built is usually launched at only about half Throttle. The first time I was going to launch it, i mistakingly pushed full throttle and it almost ripped it out of my hands, LOL. If you are using the same motor and prop set up as I am, its a beast! Half throttle is all you need for take offs.

Hey Paul. I love the look of the Supernova with the canopy. I've only got 10mm thick EPP of which i can laminate together. If I laminated two of the 10mm thick sheets and made the wing 20mm thick. Do you think the plane will be able to penetrate the air a lot better?

[rcFoamFighters]

@vmat377

That sounds like a good idea. My original was 30mm thick. Going to 20mm should make it a little more streamline. You may need to add a spar or maybe an extra layer of the weave in between the two layers. Should be cool though. i would to see your build if you make it. Oh, i have a supenova extreme in the works, only 15mm thick, bigger size and way bigger motor! Hope to get time to finish it in the coming weeks or months. Good luck with your build!

is it possible if anyone can give me the list of things i need to make a simple plane...im doing a physics project. and if possible, post a link that shows how to wire the motor with the thing that turns the propeller...i dont even knw wht that's called. i'll appreciate the help.

Hey Paul thats a damn nice plane i hope to built one of my own some day! where did u place the CG on the super-nova? Thx 4 the inspiration!

[Nobel0]
