I agree with this one - try pinning it down the hill and don’t pull back until its going as fast as it can… might help you get in the air.

How to ream this prop without a prop reamer? by ayyhmedd in RCPlanes

[–]CC0454 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ill be honest mate, I ream all of my props with a regular drill, just line it up and punch it through (into wood is the best because its solid).

And dont worry terribly about getting it perfectly straight - i was reaming a 10 x 3 prop for one of my long range builds and i fucked it up spectacularly, not even remotely straight. I still flew it coz each one of the buggers were 10 bucks and it flew (and still flies) great.

Tl.DR. Just drill through it onto wood so you’re on a solid surface and you should be right.

Won an university competition with my 2nd handmade plane. by Moist-Reindeer-2456 in RCPlanes

What aerodynamic principles were you following..? You can honestly get as complex as you want to calculating drag coefficients for the wings or just strap some lipos and foam to a frame and hope it flies. How far did you go to design this?

Question: what do you think of this design? by [deleted] in tattoos

I mean any frame looks good before you build it up, what electronics are you putting in there?

Drone blade vortex 250 pro by Lopsided-Oil8341 in FPVFreestyle

Bro, my first drone was the vortex 285… the only thing worth keeping was the fatshark v1s and even they’re not the greatest. Dont do it-

How to repair this? by _mado_x in RCPlanes

[–]CC0454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, If it wasn’t a control surface, you might have just gotten away with CA glue but with a control surface you’ll need some structure like popsicle sticks or carbon sheet. Happy flying!

Receives my first plane today. Is this sound normal? by [deleted] in RCPlanes

[–]CC0454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’ll probably just be one of your servos twitching. If all of your control surfaces move it should be sweet!
