How I Build Micro RC Twin Otter 650mm

There's a technical problem on the background about making F-18 Super Hornet video that made the video will not ready yet on time for this month. So I specifically made this micro RC Twin Otter as a filler also because my friend Ben keep asking the plans (lol). This model is very easy to make using styrofoam for the fuselage and 3mm depron or foam board for the wing and stabilizers. I use low density styrofoam for light weight flying model. Styrofoam is basically an EPS foam or Expanded Polystyrene, maybe the styro name comes from styrene. EPS foam also known as Thermo cool/ col foam. The wingspan on the model is 65 cm or about 25.5 inch, with the flying weight using 1 cell 300mAh lipo about 70 gram. I also incorporated 3D printed parts on this model for making, nose cone, landing gear strut fairing and wheels. For you that don't have a 3D printer you can use the plans to make DIY parts with foam. I use electronics from Air-815 a cheap toy plane . You can search "HappyCow FX815 Speed Boat" on Google, you'll find it, the price maybe about $7. It has 2 channels, flying control only using differential thrust, so there's no elevator, to move up and down you have to control the throttle. It's quite stable because there's a built in gyro.
You can download the plans here :

People 3D print files are from Thingiverse.com - search figure, I found 6 decent figure models there, maybe even more because I stop searching after downloaded 6 models

2 channel rc ?

[@iammeobviously6815]

The coreless motors are 716/720 motors right? I also want to make a 2 channel plane but i need the motor size to see what motor i should use

[@JuliusPerdana]

I don't know, I'm not familiar with coreless motors, but you can track it by the original plane that detached the motor from

[@iammeobviously6815]

@@JuliusPerdana I can't find the motor size from the plane's store
It's from china, so that explains it
The motor size is the length of the motor in millimeters and width of the motor in millimeters. Calipers would do the job
