Flite Test is here to educate, entertain and elevate those who have an interest in flight. We live in a world where people are inside too much, disconnected too often and passionate about too little. We are leading the charge for the worldwide community of people passionate about flight, creating the means both virtually and physically for them to connect relationally, grow intellectually and share widely their passion with others.
Question: I have 80 acres of land that I can easily fly planes in. Sure I got trees, but I'm mainly wondering if a 3 or 4 channel plane would be perfect for the area? Eventually I'll get bigger and more complicated planes, but for now. I just want a casual fly.
Nice. Have a couple on the way to build, and use to teach a youngster at the field some aerobatics. BTW, don't forget to glue the tail feathers in. The vid skips that part. Wouldn't be good if they aren't glued in. Looking forward to playin' with 'er.
My mini Jn-4 climbs like a demon. I had to put in lots of negative elevator trim. With minimal glue in the tail, it's still tail heavy. Good looping, but not much of anything else.
As cool as the Bloody Wonder vs. Baron, the Baron can fly circles around the wonder with its rudder. It's my son's favorite plane of all time. He can defy gravity with it. I flew a duct tapped Wonder in combat, and it wasn't anything special. Just bank and yank and hit something bigger head on.
Yeah, the skewer in the leading edge trick works really well. Doubly so if you also cover the leading edge with glass fiber tape. No more tears or big chunks of your wing missing when you hit a tree branch. Maybe a small dent if you break part of the skewer. :D
A giant copy of the Techone super jet! So cool! I still have mine from 15 years ago but it needs a new motor. It definitely was one of the best bang for buck little park flyers.
Love the use of Drafting aides (30/60 triangle) for squaring things up. Makes me feel relevant again, unlike CADD. Great job Josh, love watching your builds. Might suggest the use of an adjustable angle rather than 30/60. A beautiful wing style design, can it handle extra weight? Or be up-scaled?
It's one of our favorite things to do 😂😂😂 Always so much fun. We always hit each other when we don't mean to but when combat starts it always impossible to crash into each other 😂
Fun first prototype. Really though, just get a blow up kayak, there are some with a rear engine mount!! You can tie in all the cardboard on top to make a battleship. Including turrets. Add some rasbpi or arduino camera aimed nerf guns. Would be speedy when unmanned.
So............If i dont have one of those 3D printers I cant make this plane ?.....I want to make it Big.... Like 66 Inches wing length or close to that ? what is available to buy or make for that size model ? Any way to make it 2 times your size that you built I have different size motors an E-flite Power 32 770Kv or a E-flite EFLM 1305 Park 400 Outrunner 920Kv....(Smaller size) and a 40 & 60amp ESC ...I have no real clue as to what they might power and how to figure out what this would need to make. I have to have this big to be able to see it !.....What Can you suggest for this larger size Please I like slow Fryers not good with speed right now ...!
I remember I flew bloody wonders during my first two flite fests. Did the skewer reinforcements even back then. The only thing that bothered me was the underslung battery which I relocated into the power pod. Hope I can go again some time, sadly it's not in the cards this year.

I'm still waiting for my invitation😂😂 great Video and thumbs up👍👍
This is a Firefox and the pdf plans exist way before Flitetest Just say that you found a pdf plan from another site and you were just inspired by it to make it bigger. It’s not yours guys
😆 Actually the inspiration came from a aircraft called the X-41 Delta Storm on R/C groups from 12 years ago. It was a scratch built pdf plans only. Except I made major changes, one, I down sized it, 2 , made the canard a elevator style instead of full functional. And 3 made it simpler and faster to build.
