Why not have the motor just run prop? I’m not understanding the motor to rubber to prop set up, seems like it would load up and unload drastically changing torque and causing that torque roll
good point, this was a build just using things i had around the house. i had no way to attach the motor shaft to the prop shaft and it was a rubber band powered plane to start with so the prop had the band loop. also the motor could not be moved forward do to CG
AGTExotics hmm, well maybe if you made a direct drive shaft you could make the shaft long enough to keep the motor in its spot, but I would think it would be better if you used a smaller/lighter motor and 1S Lipo, something small like 200mah or less
Looks like it stalled then crashed. Try either lessen the power, move the CG forward, trim the elevators, or combination thereof. Looked like fun! Thanks for sharing the video.
That's really cool. I didn't realize at first that there is no controlling it, but that's a neat little setup for sure. Sucks it crashed and burned, but it had to be fun while it lasted. Really neat idea with the rubber band and motor setup. Thumbs up bro!
I use pins you can also use magnets but I was having issues with them pulling on each other so I stick to the pins. they hold the parts in place for gluing after the part is glued you just pull the pins out. I tape down the pattern to cardboard then cover that with wax paper. then you build on top of that so you don't glue the parts to the pattern
Not understanding the electric- rubberband combo. Rubber powered prop but electric, servo driven control surfaces? Is that correct? And would that not make it too heavy for rubber powered flight? Especially with the added weight of a battery? Thats a new concept to me.
this was just me having some fun with old parts, the rubberband was just the way I connected the prop to the motor. it was free flight to so No control surfaces.
Well, I give you A for effort and persistence, and a solid B for build and covering. Nice job, really. A large part of your problem is that it is too heavy for its wing area, i.e. wing loading. Almost any plane will fly with enough power, but will behave more like a rocket. A small geared motor and a lipoly cell will produce enough thrust to fly that plane at scale like speeds. That would allow you to trim it to fly in a large circle with a better chance of keeping it on the field. Not enough down/right thrust and and the open windshield, as mentioned, also hurt your chances. Ready to fly, a plane that size should weigh between 1-2 ounces. Have another go at a new model, that design is a very good choice, and build in lightness. With the proper control system you could add throttle, rudder and elevator and have a real blast with it. Good luck, Dave
Hey I think your problem is definitely a thrust angle issue. The torque of the motor wants to roll the plane left so you need to angle the prop shaft to the right to compensate. I hope you rebuild and have success with it.
I can't figure out how to message you.... I curious how you have this set up... did you use an esc? Did you connect the motor direct to the motor? I'm trying to do the same thing you did in this video but don't have any experience with electric motors and making them free flight.
The lack of hatches and wind shield probably attributed to the wind effect being a lot worse than it could have been as power to weight ratio seemed good seeing as a motor and a battery plus wiring must make a few grams and help in windy conditions? But nice model ...
I'm not trying to start any kind of argument, because I honestly don't know anything about these planes. Does one just throw it in the air and hope for the best? The electric motor with rubber band is blowing my mind as well.
Your planes flies well becouse it got a good weight power ratio, you only need to trim your plane, the shaft needs a little angle to wright, to cancel the porque moment, it also need on the left wing to add a aleron turn down to 20 degrees , I had made several electric planes like you, the first flights need to be trim, use a supercapacitor to trim, they are chip, then use your power system
It's repairable.
TRIM BY HAND GLIDING.
GET C/G RIGHT FIRST .
CHECK ALL FLYING SURFACES FOR WARPS & PROPER ALIGNMENT BEFORE PUTTING ON POWER.

forward do to CG

@@SkidzFPV but again this was build with very limited supplies and tools

do we need pins and how do we take it out? with the pins
I use pins you can also use magnets but I was having issues with them pulling on each other so I stick to the pins. they hold the parts in place for gluing after the part is glued you just pull the pins out.

I had it set up as a free flight electric
Since the electric motor is connected to a rubber band... It's a hybrid?

I know it is pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Kabir Cameron flixportal =)
@Kyrie Shiloh thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !!
@Kabir Cameron You are welcome =)
Did well till the stall. The rubber band drive shaft thing was cool.
Building and repairs is the best part anyways 😆
yep
Hey I think your problem is definitely a thrust angle issue. The torque of the motor wants to roll the plane left so you need to angle the prop shaft to the right to compensate. I hope you rebuild and have success with it.
maybe in the future you can fold the hook of the prop strait and connect it with the
motor with a rubber tube
Not having a windshield is your problem. It is effecting the trim of the plane because the you are scooping up too much air into the fuselage.
MORCOPOLO0817 i had the same problem with my first plane
the guillows cessna 180
Man, don't you have any video editing software?
Hanz Nel not when this was filmed no, but now I use wondershare Filmora

this had no esc the motor was straight to the battery
Good vid. Planes = fun. Keep tryin'.

thank you I didn't think about that at all
As has been mentioned, looked like it stalled. Maybe more weight in nose and downthrust would help.

Dude my exact thought lol why not rc too cuz that's kinda stupid that you throw and hope for the best when u can control it
Can u share the plans
It's a kit, I'll get back to you with the name

by the way, what power system did you use, Im gone to try a reverse engineer of the toy, i dont wan't to use a timer
Hole winter building and than 5sec plesure!!!
these planes only take a few days to build but yeah not much of a flight
Looks like too heavy or CG IS out
I think it tail heavy
Yeah. Maybe stick to golf.
you do realize this was tossed together with parts I had around the house. but I guess every troll needs to make their voice heard. happy Trolling
It’s the Cessna 180
nope sorry piper cub unless they miss marked the package they have been using for the past 60 years
it flies like a shit
Thank you! I made it for you 🤓🖕I'm glad you like it!!
