The first way is much harder but you can design any RC plane you want. If you don't have a CNC machine or a laser cutter (you can also print parts on 3D printer) it will be very hard to make good plane, but if you have a lot of time you can try. You can find many useful ...
Red Bull gives you wings, but can you give Red Bull wings to fly RC? We have a passion for making strange things fly here at Flite Test. Last week, I challenged myself to make a Red Bull fly. Here's how I did it. Video Link! Disclaimer: We can't recommend that you try this...
This is part 2 for building ATR-72 600 RC plane. In this episode I will cover about building the tail section, stabilizer and wing mounting. By looking at this second video, I hope I can finish it in part 3 and maiden flight in part 4, which also including all previous parts combined...
That is the single biggest difference between learning how to fly an RC airplane, and learning how to fly an RC helicopter. When learning to fly an RC plane for example,you are committed to flight the first day out, the second your plane leaves the ground. This is where buddy box instru...
Servos are extremely popular with robot, RC plane, and RC boat builders. Most servo motors can rotate about 90 to 180 degrees. Some rotate through a full 360 degrees or more. However, servos are unable to continually rotate, meaning they can't be used for driving wheels (unlessmodified)...
Before we begin, please remove all the propellers for safety, and make sure you have attach an antenna to the VTX (if you power the VTX without antenna it can overheat and get damaged. Install Betaflight Configurator Betaflight Configurator is the software we must use to flash the flight cont...
Remote Control Vehicles WonderHowTo how to How to Make a Banner for a Lightweight RC Plane By abba Nov 15, 2011 Remote Control Vehicles WonderHowTo I decided to make a quick banner for my RC plane. It was basically free, but you might need to get a few materials if you don't...
To start we're going to trace out the canopy frame, and if you don't know what that looks like, you can do what I do. I like to try and find a manufactured version of whatever model I'm working on and look for an image of a replacement canopy for the given plane. ...
Let's take a closer look at the RC truck we saw on the last page. We will assume that the exact frequency used is 27.9 MHz. Here's the sequence of events that take place when you use the RC transmitter: You press a trigger to make the truck go forward. ...
In this tutorial I will show you how I build an Arduino RC Airplane. Also, I will show you how to control it using a custom build Arduino RC transmitter...
