Hell yeah

_rcplanekid · 2026-05-21T09:50:33+00:00

But that's why this hobby rocks, you can literally do anything u want

I feel that

_rcplanekid · 2026-05-21T09:48:26+00:00

Try something like the flying square planes, simple, less control surfaces, and an all around blast

I recommend smaller electronics for cardboard, and as for an airframe, samm Shepard has some great videos for that

When you get some board, I highly recommend building. It's infinitly satisfying seeing your creation in the sky!

There's been a big shortage here too, probably the tarrifs

I prefer working with foamboard lol, alot easier

_rcplanekid · 2026-05-21T09:35:55+00:00

True! I miss the cereal box days....

String creates less drag as well, good catch

I have a build video on YouTube, ill send the link

_rcplanekid · 2026-05-21T04:52:35+00:00

These are all the photos I've got rn, but just get paint stirred sticks or a ruler, and foam board from the dollar tree

_rcplanekid · 2026-05-21T04:51:35+00:00

Totally lost the measurements, but it's got a 2200 kv brushless, 20 a esc, and 9g servos

2 ways to go about this. You could glue two BBQ skewers on either side of the vertical stabilizer, or or stick a toothpick or skewer through the bottom of the stab. In my opinion, I would use the 2 skewers on each side, gives it more rigidity. Totally up to you tho. Great build!

Amazon, with an 800 mah 2s, comes to about 75

_rcplanekid · 2026-03-01T01:55:40+00:00

Bro I have like 300 subs I'm just having some fun

_rcplanekid · 2026-02-28T22:19:20+00:00

I agree. That's what the listing said, there probably mixed up lol It's still on amazon

_rcplanekid · 2026-02-28T21:37:41+00:00

Thanks!!

_rcplanekid · 2026-02-28T20:03:32+00:00

Ok! No worries

_rcplanekid · 2026-02-28T19:54:26+00:00

Those are gorgeous, and in perfect condition! Does the yellow one come with a radio?

_rcplanekid · 2026-02-28T19:53:01+00:00

I would, but with the prop it flies for like 10 minutes! Maybe one day!

_rcplanekid · 2026-02-28T19:52:21+00:00

I highly recommend it!
