homemade R/C glider

this is my first attempt at a R/C aircraft in 15 years. (makes me feel old...)
i built the radio control system and the airframe from scratch.
unfortunatley there was no wind today to try some slope soaring so no inflight video.

how does the ps controller communicate with the reciver?

[dunkclimbs]

@sshukri0 did you read the link?

[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).

[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.

this can suck my dick

nice laminate flooring ;)

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

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?

[heberorozco]

nice! but i guess that you should spend some bucks on a radio system :)

[stssaa]

After checking out your website, all I have to say is bravo. You really are creative. I like the robot more than the PS2 controller. I hope your talent is paying off.you are good. Keep up the good work and post some more videos.
