Nice to see! Although I´m an engineer, I´m relatevely new in airplanes and after building my first indoor plane last weekend I have the problem the ailerons are moving more down than upwards. It should be on the other side. But it´s a design problem of the hinges since they are at the bottom of the wing and there´s only one servo. I´ll see if there´s a possibility for improvement.Thank you!
Thanks for this vid, Carlos. I noticed your 'expensive' protractor! - a simple tip is to buy a plasic cheapo, grind, or cut the baseline excess off, cut the 90* and hinge it (behind or in front, use a self-tapper on an added flap as a hinge), and it is very clear and accurate to read. Thanks, diolch yn fawr, Den, Cymry (Wales)
Hello, good video, I understand of that issue, I stake all my foam boards together and put some heavy stakes of books and paper everything that will flatten them, mine stay flat, also I use acrylic gesso paint on back sides around 2 layers smoothly paint it, but I have not used these foam boards for other stuff I like just painting on them like cool paintings, anyways I stock up on foam boards, these help keep my canvases from sagging after painting so I cut to fit snuggly in back of stretch canvases before painting canvas, also crafting things like small cupboards with drawers just to hid my paints and store stuff, kind of like building furniture for my art therapy studio to store things, anyways mine stay flat now so far…
Paint just one side. I just recently put sparkle on one side of some foam board and it warped. So now painting the other side in hopes to get rid of the warp. Also weights. You can also use some wood blocks or something similar to lay the foam board on after painting one side.
@@creativegirl9710 i actually found a method recently from another youtube video that would allow me to make a prandtl wing without a twist but instead a simple crease so im good! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tZ3NEzIZcV0.html
Thank you. I have balanced my glider twice and it still needs a lot of elevator trim. I didn't know if the manual's directions had to be followed or I can take out weight to fly better. Thanks for your help.
Are their carbon carbon rods that are flexible without breaking. I’m looking for something light, strong, but with some give when it’s hit. I don’t want something that doesn’t have any give like pvc, but not something that easily bends out of shape either.
There's probably not much available on the open market since CF is usually sought for its light weight, strength and rigidity; but you might be able to fabricate something yourself by using an elastomer resin rather than a polymer one. Just make sure you take the usual precautions to avoid breathing in the fumes or even a handful of displaced fibers if you start cutting or sanding or drilling it, and don't get the resin on your skin.
I can't possibly be the only who thinks: "why don't they do both an in and outrunner at the same time" anyway ... I am goint to design one and 3d print it.
That's the problem with cheap servos. I've gone through so many. Better to pay more and have better quality then risk a plane with crap servos. Either not strong enough, strip gears or jitter not to mention they don't always return to center.
