One thing I would check is the center of gravity. I recently built an RC plane, and it flew well, then later added a gear to it, and it flew like it was too heavy. I know the center of gravity was shifted too far forward. Now the rule that flight test has come up with is a nose-heavy plane flies bad, and a tail-heavy plane flies once. I would check your center of gravity if you haven't, and shift the battery around to change the position of the CG. I don't know what you tried and what you didn't, but it appears around 8:20 that it was tail heavy. You can look up more info online as to how you figure out the CG, but one method that works for me is just to strap a battery on throw it around, and see where it glides the best. Then just mark the spot on the wing where the plane balances, and remember to check the CG before each flight. Kind of a long comment, but I think if you do look into the CG, you should have things working better! Yes for all you RC pilots I am very much an armchair engineer (sorry lol). But dude you got a lot further than a lot of people, with a few modifications, that plane will likely fly well! Keep going, you got this! The fish shall fly!
Dude actually so fun to watch the whole way through, I love all the bits and edits lelel the planning/scripting/effort is evident so sick sick sick 😤🐟✈️
Dude! You trained the fish and built a crazy control system! Amazing! Then you gave up because the styrofoam broke?? I'll send you another plane. I'm dying to see where the fish will fly! It seems like the mechanical part of this project was done by the fish brain and the electronic part of this project was done by the Einstein brain. This is hilarious!
You should fix the center of gravity, place the battery somewhere more away from the tail, I’m also wondering are you using ailerons and elevators or just elevons? Edit: it’s actually a coincidence I came over this video because on my channel a couple days ago I’m making a homemade RC plane which is going to be an F-16 fighting Falcon and I only have a brushed motor that can connect to the receiver, not brushless, and I’m going to make a homemade edf with cardboard if I can. The only bad thing about my project is that there isn’t a gyro for RC plane stabilization, this was taken off a vintage RC helicopter which is an exceed RC Falcon 40 v2 from 2009. It says there’s a gyro but when I’ve been flying this, it didn’t seem like that at all.
Really nice video! Did you happen to use one of Flite Test's designs for the plane? I'd recommend adding landing gear with chunky tires. Its cheap and can help you take off on grass, which is a lot better than hand launching. +1 sub btw :)
The problem with teaching your goldfish to swim towards the light, is you chose red lights. Most aquatic fish can’t see red light, which is why scientists use it to see natural behaviour.
Cool video, but there are a few things I'm not happy about. First of all, goldfish are very intelligent animals. And you shouldn't have stolen that goldfish. Even though you did put it back, that was a lot of stress to go through for that fish.
You are watching the birth of the next big player in the comedy-engineering realm of RU-vid. (Right up there with mikul, willi, alan, and i did a thing)
Give it another go!! Stronger motor and battery? That could help with a payload too! Possibly put your buddy up in the plane! And definitely some reinforcements
Not another fish there will be too much a amonea in the tank and the filter won’t be able to handle it I do agreee but you only want one goldfish when you have a tank too small beacause they shit so much. It’s also better to have plants
this video is so good for a small channel!11!!! when i clicked this video i thought it was by a channel with hundreds of thousands of subsribers because of the quality
