This is, if not the very easiest, it's one of the very easiest to build and best flying wing I've been able to find! I built my first of these 2 or 3 years ago. I added a lot of extrs carbon rod and bent flat form carbon for strenght beyond belief. I then uped the system to 2200kv motor with a 6x4 prop. This is unbelievably fast and adgile. It handles perfectly. Thanks for posting this clip. I'm sure I have posted on this clip before when I first made it. But it deserves all the aplause it can get!

@RCWinz 10 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your plans! It flies amazing

@mssippijim 6 лет назад

Maybe the best build video I've seen. You leave nothing to question. Great job.

@shelbye1199 10 лет назад

Thanks so much for the design and excellent build video. I built one and it flys GREAT!!

@need4drift 10 лет назад

will try that. thanks again and happy flying!

@hillock10 8 лет назад

When making the elevon hinge , it's best to move the elevon down when taping so there is no resistance against the servo.

@wheelykingdotcom 10 лет назад

many thanks! made it and it is flying awesome! glides great to.

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Really good to know! I am glad that you were able to get it working. I will keep that in mind

@royallhawaii 10 лет назад

Can't even fly RC yet and want to build it! You did a stellar job making the job sound easy. Only hope I can do it justice when I get into wings.

@raginimishra7803 6 лет назад

U just keep posting videos and have patience u will be in the list of the RC hobbyists

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Thanks! Its a very simple plane to build and really fun to fly - this is easily my favorit plane

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

Thanks! So I have the CG listed above in the info section. Just mark it on the plane, balance it on your fingertips and adjust the position of the battery so it works out! I like my wings a bit nose heavy

@johnhurd4238 11 лет назад

great video i finally go one build from your instructions...and it flys great thankyou for the hard work and making it easy to understand ..and to build cheap...i going to help my friends build one to enjoy.too...

@axljackass 8 лет назад

just maiden my fpv30 and succesful! im using 1600mah x2 3S in parallel, still need additional weights in the nose..motor is D2822/14 1450KV from hobbyking with 8x4 Master Airscrew, 40A ESC. flying in half throttle, i built it WITHOUT winglets and still stable.thanks for the plan.

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

Thanks! Hope that you enjoy the plane

@BPFLY417 11 лет назад

Yes this will be me and my sons next build. Great build video to Thanks !

@spincitynyc809 3 года назад

Great build vid. That is my next plane

@Lracnolip 11 лет назад

Good build video, think I will try this, thank you very much.

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

This should be perfect! Lots of people use that foam to build

@DavidStell-rb6nl 9 месяцев назад

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Thanks! This is still my favorite plane of all time

@noebryce3386 3 года назад

a tip : watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

@aresmicah3129 3 года назад

@Noe Bryce yea, I've been watching on flixzone for since november myself =)

@xflamingtatersx 11 лет назад

It definitely was a cg problem! I figured this wings having crazy tendensies even if the cg is just off by a hair. I managed to carry a go pro around in a flight and got some cool video. The motor I have is slightly underpowered though and the servos don't give that much throw but I'll hopefully be fixing that soon.

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

Great! I hope that it brings some joy to your life

@need4drift 10 лет назад

Hey man! I wana thank you for sharing this build. I have build one not exactly the same bud very close and based on your plans! it is my first ever delta and flies very nice! first maden was a success flite! i wish i had a video to share.. Thank you! happy flites!

@4Sisen2k 11 лет назад

Nice video, looks simple. Looking for build my own one, thank you !

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Thanks! The pink foam is 1/2 inch

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Yes! I do recommend a smaller battery, but a 2200 will work. Just fly fast!

@royallhawaii 10 лет назад

I believe he mentioned 7" back from the nose in the video. looks like a fun build!

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

The white foam is ~6mm and the pink foam is 1/2 inch, just plug in the servo wires to the receiver!

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

I use an online calculator. I have found that it works great for me. Based on that - I make the CG between the beginner and intermediate lines - then make it a bit nose heavy with some up trim. Hope this helps!

@hamdawgms 10 лет назад

Hi, I have just started and I wanted to make a first plane and I decided on the delta wing...So could you please make a video explaining what you need to make a plane...what very thing does and what controller to use...thank you!

@bradley2344 2 месяца назад

Hi there brad watching from New Zealand love this plane so simple and flies really nicely. Looking at making one and doubling the size of the build my issue is to figure out the foam you have used it’s not readily available here in New Zealand I can find a white foam that is similar but I have no idea where to source the pink foam can you give us any more info on this foam to help me to find something equivalent Cheers

@magnum44pi11 5 лет назад

Have you tried building wings using 3mm carbon fiber sheet and fuselage from qav250? Add pink foam to create aerofoil

@garrettsmedley7935 10 лет назад

Made this last night. Powered it with the motor off of a Ares Gamma 370, 1250KV, 8 inch prop. Few notes:, mine files better with the Center of Gravity at like 8 inches, which is natural COG for how mine is set up. I tried to add weight to get to 7 inches but it would no longer do loops. Flies nice, requires some up elevator, rolls nice, tight axial rolls, mine does not loop well. THANKS!!

@stevefaltis8989 4 года назад

Hey, buddy, I found this, and am really exited to graduate from my Phoenix 1600 glider. It took my two yaears to be able to fly it, and land safely. I’ve trued a couple of wings, all bad. Now, I see this and I know this I can afford and fly. The prob is, locally, nobody has 1/2 insulation foam board. Called Owens Corning, they laugh at me. Tried cutting 1 inch in half, ugly

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

I have since switched back to the 24 gram blue wonder - I wanted to see what it was like with more thrust - but the weight negates the effect. This little delta is great though! RCTestFlight flies this design with a 3000 mah 3s lipo and full FPV gear

@SuperZuMil 11 лет назад

Thank you!! I appreciate your reply a lot!! :D

@DROY2004 8 лет назад

Good vid!

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Great! Let me know how it goes

@MCsCreations 7 лет назад

Really nice! Too bad you stopped making videos for so long... Anyway, added this video to my "references" private playlist. :)

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Thanks! If I had to guess I would bet that its a CG problem. If the CG is even a little tail heavy on a wing - it flies like crap. Let me know how this works out!

@joshbishop7453 3 года назад

Looking to build soon...can you fix the link to plans. Thanks for sharing this info!

@lightningac8716 7 лет назад

I've build this kind of delta wing with my own parts and all, however, I have been having trouble with the servos. The servos begin to spin when immediately powered. 1) I did check to make sure it was in the right spot on the receiver 2) the speed that the servo spins is able to be slowed to an extent the controller, but can't be fully stopped. Any advice of any kind is kindly appreciated. Thank you!

@skatj23 5 лет назад

Would this design work with a 2205 or 2206 2300kv 1550 3s or 1300 4s ? And 5in prop

@charlesleak7499 8 лет назад

This 30" delta flys great. I did not have any thick foam for the top layer...so I just laminated up 3 layers of the Dollar Tree Foam with the paper removed ( about 1/2 inch). Works fine with a old Blue Wonder, couple of 9 gram servos, a 12 amp ESC, and a 1300 3s battery.

@charlesleak7499 8 лет назад

Oh yes, I did move the servos forward as my builds usually end up tail heave....worked out fine for the CG!

@panaclaudiu-stefan5290 8 лет назад

HI! I build a delta wing, the same dimensions, but i have a problem i can't control it. can you give me some tips!? I have a 1600kv emax motor, 20A ESC, 7X3.5 propeller and a 1600 mAh battery, and it weights 480 g

@panaclaudiu-stefan5290 8 лет назад

Please! :D

@vedasticks 8 лет назад

have you setup your radio properly for elevon mixing? stick forward should make both flaps go down, stick back both flaps up, stick left and right flaps should move opposite.

@shawnluces5745 2 года назад

this is great

@svsoftair 9 лет назад

I wonder if putting a mobius cam on top of battery will keep this wing within CG?

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

I like the 8x4 on this plane

@rhiashagoddard2665 8 лет назад

i try to put the wires on to a battary and it did't had a speed domater

@26ymcmb86 10 лет назад

I cant find that stick mount online. With knowing cg when i place all the electronics on i should put my finger underneath the wing and it should somewhat balance off at that calculated n prescribed place?

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

Thanks! Its 250 grams without the battery. Hope this helps!

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

You got a GOPRO on this plane!!! Thats crazy. But good work!

@mssippijim 6 лет назад

Any possibility you could link a new working link to the pdf? Or could you give me measurements for wing tips? Didn't see that covered in the video. Thanks.

@IHATETHENEWS 11 лет назад

Cont.. Materials are different! :) mine ended up way heavy, anyways I had a brain storm... I removed the motor and changed to a really small 2 cell, and I've been slope soaring with it, it's been amazing!! So I reckon you should do a vid on creating the PERFECT sloper wing. :) great vids mate. Keep it up!!

@need4drift 11 лет назад

Hi! great built, thanks for sharing! im almost done builing this delta wing and i wonder how do i find the CG?

@5180019 6 лет назад

Wonderful

@prestonboling6357 6 лет назад

Does anyone have a link to where you can get the pink foam? I'm not sure I'm looking at the right type.

@harshitjain7466 7 лет назад

what to do for the rudder ? and any other design for flying wing

@jayholt2101 6 лет назад

This is freaking so easy to build. Would you send me the PDF of the build? I tried to download it from the website but it will not work. Also how many channels do you need on the receiver? Thanks

@jordandodge4989 9 лет назад

What is the benefit of the servos being vertical rather than horizontal? In most other videos I have seen they have them horizontal.

@Vidal2021 7 лет назад

Can you add a close up picture of the motor mount?

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

It could be. The step should be 7-9% of the wing chord - it may be too thick. RCPowers uses 6mm depron for all of their KFm2 steps - regardless of the size of the wing.

@26ymcmb86 10 лет назад

I building the wing now. Quick question.. what will happen with a 3s 11.1v 2200 mAh installed? I have one on hand so just wondering.. will it cause damage to esc or motor? I have the esc and blue runner on the way in the mail, so pretty much same setup..

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

I run this with a 18A ESC and that is fine. Check out the info section above - I have all of the electronics listed

@jimhill4044 9 лет назад

Can any on e please tell me how to fly a delta wing i built one but dont now how to fly it.i tried twice and crashed both times.i do know you have to pull up on take off but thats all i know.what else do i need to know to learn how to fly this plane.

@DavidStell-rb6nl 9 месяцев назад

How do you make a stick motor mount? Video please.

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

7 inches from the nose (CG). 8x4 APC prop

@aperjan100 9 лет назад

i dont understand does the motor have to be straight with the foam or can it be over or under the foam by a littler bit

@jaysonragasa7902 10 лет назад

can a NTM 28-30 900kv use in these kinds of delta wings?

@spidarx 11 лет назад

Just a follow-up, I reduced the KFm2 step height and slightly rounded the trailing edge of the airfoil, and it flew much much better. I guess that having a 3/4 inch step on a 30 inch wing was just too much.

@shantselva9737 11 лет назад

Great video, but what is the thickness of the foam you use? and what is the connections that we have to make for both servos to the channels.

@FastEasyLifeTips 8 лет назад

I read on wiki that they don't use kfm to make planes cos of poor lift to drag ratio, looks like this isn't the case for your designs?

@MarreroRafael 11 лет назад

Hi, is awesome what you're doing. I like it a lot !. I'm buying all the necessary supplies to built the "Delta Pusher". I already buy the foamboards but I notice that they have a paper cover on both sides. Do I need to remove this paper cover before glue all parts together ?. Also how thick is the 1 x 30" x 20" foamboard sheet ?. (NO the pink one) I hope you can answer me !.

@MultiKaputtmacher 10 лет назад

Hii Great plane im building that thing now :) Can i also put a 1700-2000 kv engine on that plane? Thanks for reading :o

@igamerxd8450 10 лет назад

Will a 1000 kv motor with 1045 prop 10 by 4.5 work using these same design

@stevefaltis8989 4 года назад

You must be in your mid forties now, I’m, like 70, but I wanna fly a wing. I’m 1 week away from the fun jet. Waiting for a new receiver.

@AUPHVarshaN Год назад

may i know how much should the delta wing should weigh with all the elctronics? can u please note me?

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

No problem!

@jameshirt1395 11 лет назад

Great design - going to build. Where is the cg from the leading edge and what size and make of prop are you using. TIA -James

@TerryUniGeezerPeterson 10 лет назад

Where do you get the 'pink foam'? is there more than one kind, or thickness? Just need to know what exactly to look for . Thanks and great tutorial! PS: Can this also be made as a non-powered sloper as well?

@garrettsmedley7935 10 лет назад

Homedepot of Lowes. Mine was actually green, not pink, mine just says "polystyrene" on it. 1/2 inch thickness. Bring a knife to cut it down to fit in your car. 8'x4' sheets, $10.

@AlphaPlusFe3c 10 лет назад

hi there, i have just finished building this awesome plane, thanks for making this possible. just had a question after installing all electronics including the Battery, my plane weighs 600grams with a CG at 7.5 inches from the nose. keeping in mind that my motor is a 2200kv with a 2200mah battery with a 30A esc, do you think this plane will fly well?

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

I have most of the things listed in the info section below the video

@johnc7036 10 лет назад

I built 3 of these (well, I built one and my son and his friend each built one with my help). These are my favourite planes for just hacking around. They are so much fun! I remove the paper from the foam board and cover both sides with packing tape. I also add an a-frame of fiberglass rods for strength. See my channel for some flight video and to see what they look like.

@rocky-py2cx 7 лет назад

does flaps go up and down or only upwards

@IHATETHENEWS 11 лет назад

Hi mate! I've built this and flown with a few different motors etc, but I'm in the uk and I'm pretty sure our materials are he

@raginimishra7803 4 года назад

which motor u used? i can use only 2212

@raginimishra7803 6 лет назад

By the tell me the types of foam u used

@jorgeyou2449 5 месяцев назад

Buenas puedes enviar los planos gracias

@brandonbortolan4184 4 года назад

Does anyone have a new link to the plans? The one provided no longer works

@divyakhunger8752 8 лет назад

Can u tell me the slope of the propeller?

@raginimishra7803 6 лет назад

U r awesome!!!!! R u a designer??? The maiden video was very impressive

@krissfly 10 лет назад

hi. is the motor mount set flat? up or down right or left? thanks

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

You can, but I don't recommend it. RCTestFlight does it with this plane, but you have to fly very fast to keep it in the air. I recommend my FPV40 for a 3000 mAh and FPV gear, check out my videos - all the info is listed on my website and in the info section below the videos

@ProjectFlightDesign 11 лет назад

For micro FPV - with lightweight gear only. But yes!

@itch4travel 6 лет назад

What battery did you use? Volt and capacity please.

@spidarx 11 лет назад

I have copied your design for the FPV 30, but so far I haven't been able to get it to fly good at all. The wing wants to nose dive really bad, even with lots of up elevator. The only change to the design is that I had to use 3/4 inch foam. So I'm wondering if the large kfm2 step is creating the problem.

@gisall8205 Год назад

GREAT video Brother. I ALWAYS over design my builds. Going to try this one for simplicity reasons. One more thing. I'm always very anal about by motor mounts. Over designed. Do you have a video on your motor mount design. THANKS.

@giomenpc 3 года назад

Hello, the plane of the wing does not come out, the link is broken, you could put it back, I would be interested in being able to do it. Thank you.

@ChrisFredriksson 8 лет назад

Ah man.. I still come back to this video and your other build videos and just wish you would come back with RU-vid videos.. I really like your style of videos, its just you and like 2 others who share the same style.. the rest is ok but doesn't "suit" me that well.. I do like your videos and I know you've quit at least for some time.. you may or may not come back.. But anyhow, hope everything is well with you, whatever you do now and hope to see more videos sometime in the future from you =)

@ProjectFlightDesign 10 лет назад

I leave it on, adds extra strength

@xp14a4a 11 лет назад

Nice plane and build. Why did you switch to the emax 2822? What batteries and prop do you fly with? It seems as though it could be heavy on your delta. I use this motor with a 9x3.8sf on my 42" Blu Baby (from RCgroups.com) and it flies very well. I am going to build this delta and I want a back yard floater not a fast plane. Great job on your detailed build. Thanks!
