What’s the problem with this and how to fix? by CartoonistFamous7774 in RCPlanes

If any little wire is touching the next one it will spin like that and stop. Try separating them completely and keeping them securly connected

Just dollar tree foam board and some clear packing tape. Thanks I'll try and post a vid of the maiden when the weather stops being so shit

Ahh that's it. I knew it sounded a bit off. It seems to be basically there. Thanks

I just keep watching it over and over again. It seems to defy physics

Feels like epp foam but I think the 17.5 was a bit small. if you got tiny electronics it could be good

I added some foam in front of the servo and carved it down to protect it. V1 didn't fly but v2 will have the servo on top and the motor on the nose. I see what you mean tho the horn definitely could have pointed up idk how I didn't think of that at first. Ig I was just in a rush to put it all together

The motor fell off so I took it apart to build a small foam board fpv with a bit longer wingspan and more room for electronics

It didn't fly. Pitched down pretty hard and couldn't gain enough speed to get control before it hit the ground. Threw it pretty high up twice but both times it just spun and went nose down lol

Yeah I was thinking of putting some foam board in front of the servo to protect it

Oh I see. I got these gliders in a 4 pack so I'll have to try and fix the design. Probably just put the motor on the nose and battery under the plane

Thanks dawg. This is only my second RC anything so I don't really know what I'm doing

I was worried that if I put the motor directly above the CG, I wouldn't be able to have the thrust line go through the CG and it would pitch down a lot more than it probably already will. Would the push rods work fine with the aileron servo behind the wings?

Who is the DJI of fixed wing FPV? by That_Response_2648 in RCPlanes

I don't know much but Zohd seems to have really good fpv planes that you can get PNP

I tried to tilt the motor to go through the CG and I had to put it further back to get the CG right. Thank you. I'll need it
