I recognised some parts, but after you said "elevons" I was convinced these were left-overs from an upgraded AR Wing PNP ;) Nice vid, have three of these and a big one on the shelf waiting to be converted.
Hi! Elevon is the name of the control surfaces that mix elevator and ailerons, like ELEVator plus ailerONS. Is a common name on flying wings. I think the guys that putted that as as standard mix on the radios gives that name to it. Ps: great vid! Super well achieved project!
Victor Van thanks man. It does fly well... unfortunately... I couldnt get good footage of the plane.. so the next upload is gonna take awhile as its raining these few days
Im thinking of using one 450 mah 2s battery. Do you think this will be too small for this plane? And do you think its necesary to add the carbon spars to the fuselage and the wings?
The best way to hollow out a foam fuse is with a dremel and a metal grinding bit- will leave your sides clean with the razor cut and the bottom will have a cnc machined look. Using pliers is a hack move :)
THANKS BRUH much appreciated!! The maiden is in the video links bruh!! Its all there, here they are if you missed it:- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5-niANg7g7s.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c7iF-Uy-FaE.html
Oooh! I cant remember. I think it was some sorta 2mm wire? I got them off a hobby shop if im not mistaken. That was like just before the covid lockdown.
Wow, it's so cool to watch you put together this RC glider plane! Such a cool thing to do during the current global crisis. 👍🛩️. Would like to see you fly it too. How are you bro?..How's the lockdown situation treating you there in Singapore bro?
aaawww.. thanks bruddah! Much appreciated. Well.. its not as bad as Malaysia as we're not under lockdown yet. But who knows... still surviving bruh. Hoping u n family are doing well
I used a 2 sides servo arm. So when 1 control surface is down, the other goes up which makes it turn really quick. If the throw is too much, u can adjust it on your radio in the mixer page. Hope that helps
Aye, its my pleasure bruh!!! Im using a regular 5" drone prop for this one. The one I was using is a 5150 from Dalprops that I havent been using. sea.banggood.com/2-Pairs-Dalprop-Racerstar-CYCLONE-T7056C-7056-7x5_6x3-Long-Range-FPV-Racing-Propeller-p-1302124.html?cur_warehouse=CN&rmmds=buy
Hi I'm completely new to making rc planes I don't even know how to fly one l Should I make this?? Everything seems easy to me except the part where you do trimming to fly it properly. Is it easy to trim?
Hey thanks for watching and apologies for the late reply. The trims are only adjusted when flying... when u see the plane pulling to one side or going up too much or going down too much. This was my 2nd plane... so Im just as new! If you asked me, YES!!! You should build it and learn about it as you go along
but in you video you used 2s 1000mah battery and i am in india so i cant find those props is there any other alternative and which motor did you use and please tell where can i find carbon spur
I bought the same exact chuck glider, thinking to do an RC conversion like you did, but no idea how to. This video really helps. Any plan to put an FPV cam on board ?
thanks bruddah. Glad to be of help. Yes actually, the cockpit was originally hollowed out for the FPV system... but after many crashes.. I decided to mount the FPV system on the outside. Just a basic VTX plugged to the ESC for power and cam wired direct to VTX
Very good instructional video. I was in the middle of a conversion and was curious about servo placement when I found this post. In my case, I'm going very minimalist, except for the NX3 stabilizer. It looks like you're using standard size parts like 9g servos and a massive motor. I'm trying to use a Mobula class motor and 1.7g servos. I'm curious about your AUW (total weight). I'm shooting for < 100g without battery. I hope the tiny motor can pull that!
Ted Hancock hey thanks mah man! That means alot to me! Yeah was just using those 9gm servos as those would suffice. AUW is about 270gms inclusive of battery! I think with smaller motors it would be much lighter! Thanks for watching bruh!
hi there i wanted to ask which battery did you use speks pls i want make this with fs i6 rc controler also what was the battery voltage and i have a 2200 kv motor and pls give the link to the motor wings to buy ps: cool vid
hey thanks man!!! I tried them on both 2S and 3S(XT30) and I found that it flew better on a 3S. It was flown with a 3S 350mah lipo... but a 550 one or larger would be much better but also dependant on the weight. Not something too heavy as it defeats the purpose. Thanks for dropping by bruh!
Ooooooh! I think its because the parts are possibly no longer available as this video is a few years old. U can try to find similar parts. 5” drone motor and props, 9g servos, 550mah 3S lipo and the chuck glider.
Make sure ur motors are tilted abit to the left, u can add washers on the motor mount. im assuming its leaning right as the prop is counter clockwise. And check the center of the ailerons
@@shogunemperor is it still in the production? I have done my own conversion with this type of model, it's good fun, I am waiting for some parts to come for version 2! I must get a camera and start making videos on RU-vid! thanks for your video bro!
@@davidmgillmer I think it still is!! Here's a link for the glider bruh, get the 48cm one www.aliexpress.com/item/32961131950.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.65ce7d98k6xRzj&ad_pvid=202102192255585290272043715550019616628_1&s=p Sweet man!! Yeah!! U should bruh!! I cant wait to see it man!! And its my absolute pleasure!!! Thank YOU for your kind support mah man!!
@@shogunemperor I appreciate it! Last time I flew was 20+ years ago. All this foam is new to me. Back in my day (when it snowed, we walked to school, up hill both ways! LoL 😂!), It was only balsa & nitro. I'm testing my dormant building skills to see if they're still there. 👍
Thanks I guess. Well, was the only one I could find that wasnt copyrighted at the time. Will find some better ones in the future. Appreciate the feedback tho!! Thanks a mill!
@@shogunemperor It was a bit of a MUTE point for this video where no information was being spoken whilst being drowned out by the background Musak and the kill button is available to the user! 😜😂 But I often wonder why people bother with "musical" additions. (I take it that it is NOT obligatory?!) Surely it is better to have a clean audio and let the end user play their own choice of Mozart or Megadeath in their headphones while watching? 🙂 Aside from that, a top effort young fellah! 👍👍
@@theoztreecrasher2647 thanks bruh. Much appreciate the feedback and noted. Will do better on my next one. Hahah thanks for calling me young tho! Ur too kind! LOL
