  • am a huge fan of your, love the good work. please can u make a pdf plan for this plane and also can u make a seaplane that flys on your video. thanks a lot

  • @hardexable No PDF's for the place. Check put my newest FPV V3 plane. It flies just as slow ans is WAY easier to make as has FREE PDF plans. Subscribe and keep following my vids I am working on an amphibious scratch build plane.

  • That is absolutely awesome.... great work! Perhaps it's my lack of aeronautics, but does the open bottom side of the wing actually help it fly more slowly or would a closed underside be better?

  • @bluedogtwo I'm not totally sure. But I think it may create slightly more lift with an open bottom however causes more drag. I did it to save weight and make building easier.

  • I think if you increase the angle of wings, you may be able to fly it still slower.

  • Great Plane!. Have you tried changing the angle of wings ? right now it seems to be zero. How about 5 or 10 degrees ?

    Also why did you not keep the upper surface of wings as a smooth curve instead of a triangular profile ? Is the triangular profile better ?

  • I dont care what anybody says your plane fly and fly nice and are very east to make if you have glue and foam board,and popsikle sticks,i made 2 so far with ease and my wings arent as long as they say in the specs and they still fly nice n smooth. Cheep is the key with these builds,you can spend as much as you want to but its just fine with cheep china stuff,mine sure are.I got vids if anybody needs proof of how awesome there planes can be.

  • @muffdriver69 It was my timer brohamskillet.

  • @MikeysRC Your RC is already beeping at that range? You must have the worst reception in the world.
