This is my fifteenth RC video! This was the very first scratch built mini FliteTest plane that I have built. It is definitely a great beginner friendly plane and is pretty simple to fly. Of course, I used overpowered electronics as I had nothing smaller which provided me with a very powerful setup, kind of overkill but it still worked out great! Information about this plane's specs as well as electronics and components that I used will be listed below. I also included FliteTest's website where you can find more information. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below in the comments!

🞇Information: I printed the plans out from flitetest.com and cut them out onto 20in x 30in Adam's Readi board from the dollar store. This build took Only 1 sheet of foamboard (not even the whole thing!) and weighed about 60g in just foam. With the electronics and other components, it weighed about 199g, and with the battery it weighted 240g. Although it is a lot heavier than the recommended specs, the powerful electronic setup made up for that. I added my own 3D printed power-pod firewall onto the normal foam power-pod and I also used my custom lightweight SG90 9g servo mounts to avoid gluing them to the plane so that I can use them in the future for other projects easily (makes them interchangeable). Thanks for watching this video, stay tuned for upcoming videos!
🞇Parts that I used in this build:
- Servos: 9g Servos (sg90)
- Battery: 450mAh 3s Tattu LiPo Battery (45C) - JST Connector (I used a JST to XT60 adapter to connect to the ESC)
- ESC: Standard 30A ESC (Sunnysky, commonly the color yellow on Amazon)
- Motor: DYS SAMGUK SERIES BRUSHLESS MOTOR 2306 2500KV
- Propeller: 6in (60 x 4.6R) Diatone Propellers
- Transmitter: Flysky i6x Transmitter
- Receiver: FS- ia10b Receiver

I just added like 8 inches to my wingspan and wend with a smaller higher kv motor with smaller prop maiden soon to come after hurricane Ian is done

@Adam_Carbone Год назад

Nice, let me know how it goes when you maiden it!

@Krash_fpv Год назад

You forgot to mimic the gnarly right side angle to compensate for the torque of the motor it's like 20 deg or something and that's why it pulls to the side so bad

@Adam_Carbone Год назад

Yeah I completely forgot to account for the torque of the motor especially given that it is much bigger than intended 🤣😁

@ishigamiyu1991 2 года назад

answers all my questions! I want to build one with the stuff I have. An emax RS2205 with recommended 5045 propeller and 9 gram servos. I think it might work. do you think I should use above recommend 6" props?

@Adam_Carbone 2 года назад

If you have those 5045 props that you were talking about, I will just stick with those. 6in was good for my setup as my motor stator volume is a little bit bigger but the torque with that setup cause slight issues with the plane wanting to actually roll because of the motor's torque so a 5in propeller (5045) with the RS2205 should provide a plentiful amount of power without being too overkill. Glad I could help! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Wow! Nice buliding and flying!! From my very limited experience in everything the touchy behavior and the hovering thing may be signs of a tail heavy airplane. Otherwise lots of expo is always an option... Also how did you secure your (I guess gopro) to your head?

@Adam_Carbone 2 года назад

Thanks! Yeah it did seem like it might have been tailheavy despite seeming balanced so I will have to see if I can maybe move the receiver forward a little bit to help counter that and I agree that more expo or even limited rates is probably the way to go lol. In terms of the GoPro I took these two straps that can clip onto each other and ran them through a slot in the GoPro case and then close it which secure it on my head and I used the adjustable clip to tighten it accordingly, worked better than I expected, you could probably do the same thing with velcro too. Thanks for watching by the way!
