    A micro F22 profile plane with a prop in slot layout is a great design for these 1 cell UMX boards. I threw one together in a couple hours and it flies beautifully. I had never flown a jet style plane or done high alpha but I had it hovering the very first flight with it.

    That is not a triangle! that is a tool called a square, used as a reference to make things square (90* angle).

    Definitely need to see some more stuff from Teddy. Also, somebody up that way who knows how needs to teach him vacuum bagging and how to use carbon for fuselages. You can throw gliders that size easily three times that height if you use the correct materials.

  • @IOUaUsername
    @IOUaUsername 6 лет назад +1

    I was thinking of doing something like this with my ancient Parkzone Slo-V control box (with 5 wire servos and built in brushed ESC), and this video has convinced me to do it. Now I just need to decide whether to make a flying wing or a V tail glider. Can't unmix the servo channels...

    Fitting this video should come out today. I got my mini Fox aerobatic chuck glider (model of the real Fox, not Multiplex) in today from china for an R/C conversion. Will be my first time using the micro 1.7g servos for a build.

      yeah me too! I have a bunch of 4mm motors but they have 0.6 shaft. I cant find a prop or gears that would press fit. it's sad. I need resources. seems all are for 0.7 shaft

    • @GNARGNARHEAD
      @GNARGNARHEAD 7 лет назад

      check ebay, there are motor prop combos for around $2 for two of each, even found a gearbox, motor, with a 14cm prop combo for $3, it was under the name "Reduction Kits Coreless Motor 716 Gear Box 3.7V 45000RPM For Remote Control" hopefully they have free postage to where you are as well xD

    @thejoshmoss 8 лет назад

    So cool, my first scratchbuild was a poorly copied umx champ made from the guts of my crashed and broken champ. It could fly rather well for what it was, but the ground wire broke off right at the motor.

  • @wlouisharris
    @wlouisharris 8 лет назад

    Cool ideas. I like the mini nutball. The micro planes are great but they do not crash well and often leave broken parts. The more your repair them you add weight and eventually they do not fly. The biggest problem I have is the parts break and malfunction at a much higher rate than other plane parts.

  • @Wooskii1
    @Wooskii1 7 лет назад

    I didn't know they sold a cable to turn off the gyros!!! I have a Horizon micro P51 mustang, and I think the gyros ruin the plane. I can barley fly it once any wind picks up, it feels disconnected and less predictable than the old one without the gyros. With the old one I could fly in as much wind as the motor could power through, and point the nose into the wind and just sit in one spot (I had a friend grab it out of the air, instead of landing at the beach in the sand). This may finally get that plane flying right! Thanks.

    Hay guys, long time watcher, About the heat shrink tubes. Home depot has a mix set that has 1/16 diameter size heat shrink up to 1/2 inch diameter i believe only 4inch each tube and only a small handful of each size.. Issue is the mix set is pricey. What I do is ebay search and you can get a full foot to 3meter of ok quality heat shrink from 1/16 to 1inch in diameter for under $4 which is great but it takes awhile for it to come to you determining where you live from hongkong. But their are PC mod site like frozenpc that sells them $1 a foot or $10 a pack of 50 (1inch precut in length) in color from 1/16 diameter to 2inch diameter. ships faster and are good quality. I am a PC modder.

    • @johncavanagh3900
      @johncavanagh3900 8 лет назад
