Hey everybody, West here! I am very pleased that so many of you have been inspired or encouraged by my docu-commentary style accounts of my RC flight endeavors. Also, a big thank you to all of the comments and constructive criticism. And another big thank you to all the dudes building and sharing their RC stuff too. I love making flying machines and sharing how I...get'er done!
Well explained indeed, however what if i have a T tail, with the motor higher,than the wing, mounted on the horizontal stabilizer? What angle should i mount it at?
what motor and propeller is used? What is the weight of the apparatus itself and what is the maximum weight that can be lifted into the air? What is the wing area?
Hi Mr West. What will be the thrust angle to counter propeller torque for a pusher plane with a clockwise spinning propeller when you observe the direction of rotation while standing behind the model airplane. Should it be to the right or to the left?
Hi. Hope you doing well. And pray to my Allah give you more knowledge. I want to ask the motor should be fixed anti rotation of propeller? If yes then what is the formula for fix it?. Because my airplane goes down to one side opposite of propeller rotation.
hi great job man i have a question? can you build and sell me a pvc drone im from the caribbean and a drone from pvc would be really practical here is to fix and maintain my email is casuelsamuel@gmail.com you can contact me if ur interested

Hi Mr West. I'm building an airplane I designed myself and it is a flat bottom wing plane with a very high thrust line that is parallel to the bottom of the wing. The plane has a cruciform tail with the horizontal fin also parallel to the bottom of the wing and the thrust line and it is mounted high enough that it is exactly in the thrust line. I was hoping that the propeller wash will be sufficient to give the elevator plenty power to correct for the pitch down tendency of the high thrust line. The thrust line is about 4 inches high from the bottom wing. Is this practical?
It's called a cane pole pal and WTF is a boom I take it you don't know much about fishing and that hollow part in the but end is for you to store your line in
I just built model but mistakenly glued wing at positive incidence than I was supposed to do. Is there anyway I can adjust down thrust of propeller to compensate for this mistake?
Great video. My question is, what if the motor pod (pusher) has the prop one inch rearward of the leading edge and the thrust line 6" above the bottom of the airfoil?
This is made entirely of fiberglass. There is no carbon fiber. If it had carbon fiber in it the price would be more in the 35 dollar range. Fiberglass rods do have a wound pattern as they are strands of fibers wrapped together layer after layer. All of these style telescopic poles are 100 percent fiberglass.
Very well explained and worthwhile experimenting too,on biplanes the upper wing is usually set at a few degrees more so the upper wing will stall first,I would like to see you do a piece on lifting tails as opposed to normal flat stab the more common variety,aerodynamics is a fascinating subject that every model builder and flyer should study and its fun too,then you can get the best from your models performance,I like the sketches too,I have subscribed to your channel
