    Great video. 😂I built a Mini Guinea. Flies and sounds great. I'm currently building a Guinea Pig. The kit wing will have 2 2217 motors. A second wing will have 4 2212 motors and flaps. Thanks for reminding me about differential requiring 2 channels for throttle. I guess I'll use my 8 channel receiver.

    just a random passerby because my dad sent me this video of a guy flying one of these things like it was going to crash but he had full control of it, also, he told me some old stories from the late 60s 70s making them, and i ended up on your page, and i really just like it man keep doign what youre doing

      It’s a fun build! remember, more reinforcement = a longer lasting plane. build it carefully and with strength and you will have a plane that lasts!!

    The plane is fast but not as fast as I thought, has a very nice speed envelope! Nice flying, those aerobatics are tempting lol

      @CustomFPV  4 года назад +3

      Pretty darn powerful for what it is, such a big airframe makes sense that it’s not so fast, lots of drag. but the torque is insane!

    I'm a little late to the party but I am curious how you think this compares to the Bronco? If you could do it again, which one would you build first? thanks

    • @CustomFPV
      @CustomFPV  Год назад

      It’s really up to what you like. The guinea is a bigger plane, and less agile because of it, but it’s a beast, especially when overpowered like this. The bronco doesn’t have landing gear but it could be added easily, I think that the landing gear on the guinea is more effective though. Also, if you want a cargo plane with capacity to hold things like streamers, parachute guys, etc and release them, the guinea is your best bet. I

    I'm making one soon all i gotta buy is the transmitter probably gonna go radio master pocket elrs. Is this a good remote for this?

    • @CustomFPV
      @CustomFPV  2 месяца назад

      The pocket has smaller gimbals so less resolution, but it is a good radio for cheap. I like the tx16s personally but the boxer would also be a decent choice if you are on a tighter budget

    How do you build so many planes in this short amound of time?

    • @CustomFPV
      @CustomFPV  4 года назад +4

      That is a really good question. the answer is persistence and hard work, they take a long time. I also obviously have a lot of experience building so they come together much quicker and I can go faster

      That's my "Walmart wing" plane I made from the wings of one of those $10 Walmart gliders. I did a whole video on the project last summer on my channel, check it out.

    Love your vids!
    I’m just wondering that on a single prop aircraft, is the torque roll a big factor because I’ve built a simple cub and it keeps crashing by rolling over.
    Could just be my bad piloting lol

    • @CustomFPV
      @CustomFPV  3 года назад

      It can be, but usually is an easily correctable factor with thrust angle. So you likely have too much or too little thrust angle and that’s throwing it off. It should be marked somewhere on the stat sheet for the build plans the correct number.

      2 inches back from the leading edge, per the specs on the website.
