So I just finished flying this scratch build here at my local field and it truly is a winner. Easy to fly and slow for learning 3d. I used a 1000kv motor and 10x4.5 SF prop with a 2200 3s lipo. I also add fixed landing gear. This thing is sweet..Thanks yall.
i just finished building this exact EDGE and followed his video to the "T. My CG is way back at about 5 1/2 inches from the LE!!!!!!!! with a 3S 2200 all the way up against the firewall. Could you PLEASE tell me where your CG ended up??? I would really appreciate it. I have zero experience with a flat wing so my normal under the thickest part of the airfoil doesn't work. Also please let me how you mounted the landing gear. I want to do that as well.Thanks.😊😊😊
@@eduardopacchioni7600 I never marked the cg on my one and haven't flown it in awhile. I'd hazard a guess somewhere a few cm behind the wing spar. Hopefully someone else can help you out
Made one at 73% scale out of adams dollar tree foamboard and added 6 sets of vortex generators designed from the FT 3D as well as some huge wingtips and it flies awesome! Definitely try your best to keep it light if you are using a small motor. Small issues wing wing rocking but it takes a crash like a champ
Hey! Thanks for the instructional and plans dude! THIS is my very FIRST build from scratch (as I am still a newbie). Just a couple of questions if you have time to answer? BTW, I thought the music was just fine (pretty cool) for the fast forward parts! 1 - I noticed the gap cut out of each wing where the fuselage goes (the perpendicular line) is approximately 25% of the total line vs the my 38% (cut from the plans). i.e. my wing hinge line meets right where the part of the wing is cut out. This means that my ailerons would be 7% bigger than yours. Did I somehow put the pieces together wrong? I can't see how! Or is yours a little different? 2 - Would it be a good idea to peel the white paper off of the foam and coat the foam with polycrylic (and maybe paint)? 3 - Would it be a good idea to sand the lead edges of each wing to be curved or would it make a difference? I's stuck at the aileron hinge part but, if I get no response will probably just cut the hinge straight across to meet with that fuselage cutout line vs yours that meets which goes more forward past the fuse cutout then back again. Thank you regardless of any responses! AE
Don't know if you still need help, but, Sanding the edges doesn't make much of a difference Having bigger ailerons is not that much of a problem Personally, i tries peeling the paper and then spray painting my planes, but some chemical reaction with the paint i used vapourised my foam core...also, it's better not to, for the structural integrity of the plane
WILL THE FOLLOWING MOTOR & PROPELLER WORK for this build (most of the suggested components are out of date and not available)? Sorry for all the questions. I’m new and “trying” to get into this hobby but finding all sorts of frustrating hindrances (i.e. the numbers, weights, fitment, etc. UGH..I’d REALLY APPRECIATE ANYONE answer YES/NO to the following questions please: Will the orange colored “DYS D2836 1120KV Brushless 2-4s Outrunner Motor” and an “APC-Landing Products Slow Flyer Propeller, 9x4.7 SF, APC09047AF which I currently have in my Amazon cart work for this plane? Also, I JUST TODAY bought a used Spektrum DX6 Radio which came with a Spektrum AR500 DSM2 Receiver. Would the AR500 suffice? Or, do I have to buy another one of those too? I’ve already ordered a 30Amp RC Brushless Motor ESC 3A UBEC with XT60 on Amazon which I’m guessing will work. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!! Kiko, The Black Labrador Receiver
Hi AGL, my name is Tawan from TawanReview channel. Your VDO clip is great. I think these useful for Thai people who want to make airplane by themselves. Is it possible if I make my VDO clip to introduce your VDO clip, step by step for making this airplane in Thai language?
Absolutely great build, but omg the music is loud, horrendous and just damn annoying! Please don't use it any future videos... silence would be better!
Hello friend, I know it's been a long time, but I can ask you a question. How much does it weigh with electronics and without electronics? is appreciated.
I chose to place all my servo push rods and control horns on the TOP of all the surfaces so that they won't get snagged by grass, twigs or weeds on takeoff or landing.
I printed out the plans from the link in the description and they are too long for the foam board. When I look at the pieces in the video they are smaller scale then what printed out
Hi Thanks for posting this video Have you need balance CG ? I have cut out all parts not waiting to install electronic I want to know how can I find CG of this plane ? Also can you share a video of Teamsters setup for Thai plane or can add some info in information of this video please Please reply
+barowc We bought our motor, esc, etc at our local hobby shop. The motor was about $25. The motor we used is listed in the comments; it was a 2212-10 1400kv 3s motor. Thanks for checking out our vid.
on your component list i believe you missed : 2 x 6 inch servo extension, 1 x small diameter round or square carbon wing spar and of course 1 x popsicle stick
and lot better easy have cover foam board tape and colour decor BEFORE glue all together. just after has cut foam board out . you can plan you paper plan templates decores what colour and what figure you want plane has "painted"
i just printiong plan out but little smallest to my son first plane. i made first only 55% this full size plan, and maybe next 70% this plan better. and when son can fly good training lot i hope hahha, theni has made youtube plan piper cherokee and cessna 172. WP 1400mm totally biggest ,because big have lot better train fly than mini size plane. mini size have too guickly big have slowly mve and learn better than have easy controller.i not make full size my son because has first plane first time fly, need be cheap easy and can build same foam board many plane.
You should make time tonshow the plane fly know one wants to put that much time into a build and not know how it flys id be suprised if one person builds nice video otherwise
I realize this was 5 years ago but, THANK YOU NEWAY! It's still good in 2020! Anything u wouldve done different now that its 2020? Also, will this set up work if I add another servo?

According to my findings yesterday the safest thing in this airplane is to place it at about 70mm from the leading edge.

Hi you also need 2 or 3 deg/ down thrust and 2 or 3 Deg/ right thrust to fly straight standing from the rear model Builder for over 30 years
Why is that wing notch needed? Mine go together perfect. Was the plans updated after this possibly?
I usually make pin holes thru the plan into the material below then use a pen and ruler to connect the dots in the foam or balsa etc....thanks Laurie

Nice build...is there a built-in thrust angle? How long is the carbon fiber rod?
Dear reader,
thank you for your video and for the drawings!
Regards!
Rob
You forgot to list carbon rod on your components list... but what I was wondering is it Solid or hollow? And do you have no the diameter of the rod?
Yes need video of it in air please,
Building two. Very excited
How did your builds go? I'm so impressed with mine
That's decent!!! It's like a jumbo version of the dancing wings sakura!!!
Nice job . Is there a particular side the battery should go on regarding prop direction / torque ?

Can I use a 3s 2200mah battery (177g), It is (50g) heavier than 3s 1300mah batteries?
what length and size of rod to use? Plz
How long did it take to build this? Including the time to draw all the out lines of the pieces? Please and thanks

My CG is about 1.5. - 2 inches back from the reinforcement spar. It's futher back than they recommend but still flies good

What is the wingspan and the ready-to-fly weight?
It would be cool to see a flight video too or maybe at the end of the build video should you do any more.
