Great to see it flying. I wonder how long it would have flown, if I had built it. Or to be more realistic, I wonder IF it would have flown if I built it.
Funny that I had meant to watch the build for about a week and had just commented that I wanted to see if fly. Few minutes later you post this video.
Beautiful plane! Great flights.
Quite impressive. Looks to be rugged enough as well
Very.
01:33 ! Cockatiel located, finally. During pt. 1 the build, eye new eye wood eventually see him/her/them.
New indoor record…with 8-9ft ceiling too 😃👍
Great video 👍 Always enjoy watching 😉
Sir one important question what is a minimum timing of flight time for penny plane and F-1D for qualification plz let me know the qualifying time of both indoor aircraft’s 👍
There is no set qualification time as per the rules. I think there is a 20 second minimum time, meaning of a flight doesn’t fly for 20 seconds, it doesn’t count as a flight. But other than that, qualifying times are relative to those of your competitors. In F1D, I would expect to fly 23-25 minutes minimum in order to place in a contest. In Limited Penny Plane, 7 minutes low ceiling, 10 minutes Cat 2, and over 12 in Cat 3/4.
1:36 Great video! You seem to be casting spells with a magic wand.
That's quite astonishing. Sure, it's had your expertise applied in the build, but it's a surprisingly good plane for the money.
pretty sure this is out of the box, of course Josh knows his stuff but wouldn't throw anything out that wasn't legit performance
Yeah it's bone stock. Really very impressive for what it is and the price point.
You do look a bit like a lion tamer chasing it with that stick!
and for light parcel delivery - it eats less than a pigeon and doesn't XXXX
Not too shabby, if you ask me - quite impressive in fact!
Be very carful if you order one of these. The link takes you to the correct page, and it shows the correct item, but the page is for 3 different planes. Even though it shows the correct plane for the main image, a different model is actually "selected". You need to choose the F1D "color" if you want to get the right plane. I waited 3 weeks and ended up with the wrong model. At $13 I'm not losing sleep over it, but a bit disappointing. I went back and ordered the correct item. Fingers crossed this time.
Thank you for this info. The options now at the link (1 year later) has changed and only shows "PURPLE", "WHITE" or "Red" options - no "F1D" colour. The white colour option has an image of a similar looking plane to the F1D (but with a round horizontal stabilizer and film propeller). Could that be the plane you ordered? Did you get the correct one?
What’s the smallest turning circle you could get on these??
I think 12-15' is about the limit. Any tighter and it'll probably start to suffer, mainly because the fin is a little too small.
Joshua and his magic wand!
Mrs Finn - thank you for your excellent video work. 🙂
She works her tail off doing the behind the scenes stuff. The real brains of the operation!
It's just nice to see someone else's living space as messy as mine. I'm going to show my long suffering wife this video.
BTW The plane is the latest stealth design from the CCP, not stolen from overseas!
3 minutes 54 seconds. Yeah I'd say that was well over a minute :)
Great, you beat me about half a minute.congrats! :-)
Sir one question is using skeleton prop allowed in penny plane or we have to use solid prop in penny’s plz sir reply and tell me the proper guidelines 👍
You can build the prop any way you want, provided it's fixed pitch and under 12" diameter, however sheet balsa props have yet to be supplanted as the optimum solution.
@@joshuawfinn Thank you sir the recent pennyplane I made touched the flight time of 2 minutes still some improvements will be done and I hope it will cross 5 minutes 👍 this was first flight in india 🇮🇳
No shit! pretty good I wonder what 3000 units cost, will find out if you recommend. Lower price for all
You do realize this video will be shown at family gatherings for decades, right?
Can I make one stab tilt at home?
Not sure what you mean.
You really need to de-clutter this room. Wow!
Great video. What width and length of rubber-motor would you recommend for this plane?
A loop of 1/16" Tan Supersport rubber works pretty well on it.
very cool. Did you say 40 grams or 4 grams for All Up Weight ?
4 grams.
@@joshuawfinn thank you. That’s amazing
Josh, there is no such thing as "rocket science". It is engineering.
You may as well say there is no such thing as chemistry, only physics. The science of rocketry is a branch or aerospace engineering and pedantry is a deeply unattractive quality.
WOW!!
I'm a little dizzy buddy 😜
Hahahaha!
