From free flight glider to a serious RC airplane

[@jennifertran2012]

What ESC was used in the video? Part numberThanks.

[@Joyplanes]

This is the ESC I used www.banggood.com/custlink/Kv3DiGdViW

[@baas7914]

@@Joyplanes I read in the product description, ESC is for rc cars, but can it be used for rc planes, and how?

[@Joyplanes]

@@baas7914 Yes, because it has reverse but just map the upper half of your throttle stick to make it work.

[@_D.I.G_]

also, turn your printing speed down a little it should cause your prints to come out better. especially when printing small stuff.

[@travisPiru]

Hi, neat build. I tried to build one like this but building the esc and receiver as well. Sadly i abandoned this project for a while...your video made me want to go back and try again. Cheers.

[@babumohan4549]

what a lovely visuals in making rc plane video.close up shots are too clear.thank you for making rc and sharing this eye friendly video.cheers from india.

[@sirclarkmarz]

Your aileron linkage is flintstone approved

[@Ciiads]

I loved that you run this plane with a single motor ❤️👍

[@Anton-sz6ef]

Hello, can you please tell me the weight of the plane ?

[@MultiCreasey]

Great video and beautifully produced. Amazing production value! Thank you for making and sharing.

At last, someone that appreciates the work done! hahaha thanks mate.

@@Joyplanes I'm sorry but i couldn't find your video on adding the controls to the glider , could you link it.

[@kidalainababy5337]

The starting tune was very nice.

[@No-rh6zp]

How did you add two moter to the esc I couldn’t see that well in the video

[@christopheherreman5739]

That's the multiplex solius mini.. Converted such planes as well

[@yagizyalcintasalumni3273]

liked the musics on the background

[@planenerd9079]

This was quite cool I gotta say! I made an rc plane myself from the airhogs titan glider and it turned out pretty well! I just need to find a way to stiffen the wings up a lot more.
BTW, buddy we gotta talk about those print settings XD

[@modelnutty6503]

you may like... took a 2.4ghz 3ch heli apart, 2 motors on wing for power and differential steering, the 3rd motor on the tail boom (blade horizontal) acts as elevator. it flies like, and the controls are the same as a typical 3ch airplane, surprisingly well too.
edit, for motor mounts used 2 short sections of CF arrow shaft slit down the side, the motors pinch into them tight, and they are glued into the wing. easy to replace motors if needed.

[@hintzofcolorconcepts]

Looks good, perhaps time to convert full size glider into an electric plane?

[@frunomaol5069]

Very interesting to see the whole process.

[@jabirjab8138]

Can i use the ESC from old servo

[@sofiakathalina7835]

My only fears of flying these when I was little is that if it crash and breaks into two. Or getting stuck in branches.
Hitting someone was never one of them, instead they're part of the fun

[@duanerackham9567]

I lost 3 airplanes in branches and one in the ocean at the beach. The motors were about the same size as the ones in the video and used differential thrust to turn. The wind took it and I couldn't turn it around back towards land.

[@themusicianskk2805]

[@Pokemon45340]

what is the receiver

[@fuhadrock6370]

hey name of your glue.... which glue u are using

[@user-es3gm1rj5k]

Jow many grams trust have this one motor?

[@nelsondarwinpaktech3954]

As a pwm controller for these brushed motor dont go for costly solutions just take arduino nano, nrf24L01 transmitter and receiver, one c945 transistor and then u can control the speed of drone brushed motor via standard arduino PWM pins.

[@ktprojects2077]

This is what I have always wanted to do as a kid really cool

[@johnchadwick3237]

Fantastic video, well done. Such a clear exposition of your many skills. Best Ive seenfor a long time.

[@laroto]

How about details of wiring the motors to the ESC to get the differential thrust?

[@Joyplanes]

In that case, you'll need two ESCs not one.

[@_D.I.G_]

hey man just wanna let you know your videos are incredibly underrated this was well done. I liked the voice over. well done.

[@Joyplanes]

Thanks so much!

[@shivanshraj7917]

i think i blew up my esc do you know why this might have happened?

[@RSTSamodelkin]

Good!!! I converted the glider into an airplane a little differently)

[@Joyplanes]

Nice work!

[@RSTSamodelkin]

@@Joyplanes Thank you!

[@medialution]

Bought all the parts you‘ve suggested, but can‘t geht the motors to work. Binding with the receiver was fine, servo is working, only Motor doesn‘t spin/start. Any idea what the reason could be? Maybe the default PWM frequency of 250 herz? Red about alternative firmware - where can I download it? Would be really thankfull for some help!

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Great project. Just what I was looking for. Keep them coming. Liked & subbed.

[@Bo-ei6nu]

One question: I have a turnigy tx5 reciever, will that work?

[@Joyplanes]

if you manage to fit it in and it's not too heavy.

[@wincydelavega653]

Why even i have 15a esc with 2 716 coreless motor the thrust is equal to the power of one motor, i can figure it out my 1s lipo battery can give max of 5 amp

[@nerdylicious1814]

Hei which servos are you using

[@waynerainey2606]

That needle...... for 4.99 you can buy a micro finger drill/pin vice from harbor freight and it comes with 12 drills too. .125 to .05 I think

Is there this esc BEC?

[@Orochi338LM]

[@centaurixon]

Why do all use brushed motors for micro rc? There are also very light brushless available. Just curious

[@Joyplanes]

At the time I made this video was easier and cheaper to find brushed motors for this project, now they're still cheaper than the brushless ones.

[@centaurixon]

@@Joyplanes yes i know they are cheaper. I was just curious if for micro RC brushed motors might be more efficient. Because I saw a lot of builds who use them. Also I think the ESC's for brushless might be lighter?

[@palankaizs]

Did you use only one speed controller for 2 motors?

Yes, because they are brushed motors

[@BenyBoy03]

change your settings to get that cleaner... bad example of 3d printers, a lot of the time they print very clean.

The name of the glider is multiplex mini solius. Search on eBay or Amazon.

[@joecarpino]

Awesome plane! I like the way you ran the string for the t-tail elevator, I have never thought to do it like that before. What was the micro receiver you used?

[@Joyplanes]

The string technique is lightweight and the receiver is a Flysky compatible, the link is in the description.

[@grzesiek1x]

I think smaller motors are better here ! I see a lot of people who install huge motors which weights just too much and it is useless.

These ESC are bidirectional so there's a trick with the throttle to make them work, try leaving the throttle in the middle first.
