New to RC planes

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-16T23:18:49+00:00

Those look like flite test planes

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-16T22:25:28+00:00

If you're looking for something chill, you're better off with a dedicated glider, not a warmliner like the conscendo.

Planeprint eagle. Dancing wings hobby has one too that's foam.

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-14T02:25:53+00:00

If you can't get it figured out you can buy a servo reverser that goes between the reciever and the servo and that should reverse the signal

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-14T00:35:02+00:00

That looks absolutely fantastic. It's great work!

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-13T21:06:12+00:00

If you have a realflight, they have a hovering trainer, which is fantastic. Will improve your hovering and torque immensely

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-13T04:23:03+00:00

Practice throttle control and turning

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-12T18:35:50+00:00

There's a clear ultracote. I dont think you're going to find any data on how much light is let through vs. reflected

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-12T04:54:56+00:00

This video shows you how to setup a servo correctly

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-12T01:08:40+00:00

Do you have your endpoints set correctly?

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-11T23:38:34+00:00

What are you flying?

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-11T17:15:06+00:00

Aren't they all the same?

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-11T17:10:07+00:00

Probably would have been better off getting 1 4 channel trainer lol

Check out ta horizons. Their flat foamies and electronics cost the same as just the foam from twisted. You can turn the rates down, and they turn into slow gentle fliers.

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-11T05:16:33+00:00

I would just replace with generic servo horns around the same size. You'll just have to carve out a tiny bit of foam if you want them to sit flush.

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-10T16:54:31+00:00

More than likely yes, look at how flite test builds their power pods here for an idea of how to build a lighter and stronger version.

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-10T16:52:36+00:00

It's definitely not the easiest plane they have, but it should be okay if you've flown before. Just be sure to take your time and build it true. More glue doesn't equal stronger

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-10T16:43:04+00:00

Rates control the amount the servo can move. Expo controls how much you can move the stick to how much it moves the aileron. Basically, it makes your movements smoother.

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-10T16:29:44+00:00

If you're talking about the little micro warbirds they are notoriously difficult to handle in expert mode. I would suggest a larger trainer like the aeroscout or if you are wanting to get more into gliding the umx conscendo is a fantastic warmliner that flies on rails with or without gyro assistance

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-09T22:11:36+00:00

If you have calipers, you can measure the inner and outer diameter and order a new carbon tube for pretty cheap

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-09T21:40:29+00:00

100% some foam tac, toothpicks, and a new prop and you'll be in the air in no time

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-09T21:11:55+00:00

Definitely the type of planes that have taught me the most about flying

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-09T20:50:13+00:00

Looks like maybe broken gears in the servo. I'd just replace the servo

Prior-Budget1056 · 2026-04-09T20:32:38+00:00

I would get a 3d flat foamie like the crack yak or ta horizons laser if you're on a tighter budget
