thanks for making these video and i have a question what advice do you have for me because I am goin to make my bery first plane.

[rcFoamFighters]

gggdawg42 do as much research as you can on the many rc plane build threads in the forums on the internet. It will help give you ideas of what will work and what won't. Don't be afraid to experiment and remember most of the time it will not work the first time but don't give up just keep making changes till it does work. Also bare airframe glide testing to find the correct cg will help you get the plane ready for the maiden flight. Good luck with your builds!!

I love it that you do these videos and make these plane, thank you.

OMFG great plane keep building pal your a pro

The rudder causes the plane to roll because there is too much throw. I had the same problem when I constructed this one. I also noticed the tendency to come nose down first at stall speeds, even tho Balanced. Fixed this by adding some canards to the front of the plane near the battery bay. Also added some air inlets at front near the battery bay to create air flow over the some of the electronics. Use a 40 amp ESC if you like me live in Barbados or say bye to that motor.keep up the good work.

McIF01 I never built one with a zagi wing before but it sounds like a cool experiment. I think you should give it a try. You should do some glide tests before you put all the equipment into the plane to get you close with the cg. If you build it let us know how it goes. Good luck!!

thankyou for the speedy reply

i will be checking

would the design work with a zagi wing?

Thanks McIF01!! I still haven't got to drawing up the dimensions for the new Bullet Plane so there are no pdf plans at the moment. I keep meaning to do them but it's getting harder and harder to find time to do it. As we have grown we are spending more and more time answering emails and comments but I will eventually post the plans on the blog so please keep checking.
