  1. So i am trying to figure out what i have of my grandads from his past when flying rc planes, appreciate it if you can take a look at my video and suggest what electronics and motor i can put in the white plane and i can buy it from you, the planes mean alot to me as they were his !

  2. I think I would've created fiberglass U-Channels rather than using the timber for the upright strength bracing. I would also consider glassing the whole body with a good medium weight twill weave (conforms to curves nicely). Use a good two part aircraft grade epoxy like Wests and it should adhere nicely to the foam and give you tremendous strength. If you really wanted to get an advantage out of it you could peel ply the glass to create a nice flat surface that requires a minimum of filling and sanding to get a nice painting surface.

  3. Coming off pictures to get your measurements is tough enough. You could have gotten the model kit and scaled it up. You would have also gotten the inside laid out for you…

  4. Great Video guys. But I’m not seeing much PPE when carving or sanding the foam. I would imagine it’s putting off possibly toxic foams and dust. Correct me if I wrong. But I do try to teach my children to be safe when doing things.

  5. Awesome build , you should take apart your shop vac and take a look at its impeller. for your lift thrust you need pressure and not so much thrust from a prop . The pancake impeller design is simple to make and should give you better lift in a smaller diameter. It just requires more RnD than a prop but I think would pay for itself in the end..
