    Love this " make it up as you go build" this is what we need for all those guys who don't have pots of money, or permision required from wife! More homemade designs please, from anyone! Well done Andrew I applaud you sir!

    I am building one similarly, except designed for the wings I've saved from the crashed planes that I liked. Awesome looking and flying craft. Better flying and looking right of the workbench than many arriving from overseas!

    I've found my best flying airplanes have been off the top of my head/no plans. Cut sand and glue until I get the rough shape of something that might fly and refine it from there. I truly love this hobby 👍

    Looks like the same thing that was used in the early 1990’s called the Dura-Bat .
    Made from square drain pipe, correx and foam .
    Indestructible to a degree, great fun

    A fascinating mostly foam construction tractor build. This design is similar to one that @AeroStuffFPV make from @ExperimentalAirlines foam board techniques recently. He calls it his the Silver Guardian UAV. It's not surprising you two have created a similar designs, having both followed Ed.
    I like how both turned out to be great flyers! :)

    Gawd, this takes me back to my Flite Test and Experimental Airlines builds, what, 10 years back or so. Hind sight being what it is, I am somewhat alarmed I talked myself into stuffing _hundreds of dollars_ worth of Ardupilot flight controller and FPV gear into something built with Dollar Tree foamboard and hot glue! It never occurred to me that the plans I carefully printed out and taped together, as templates to ever-so-carefully cut said foamboard, could be as flawed as my reasoning! Haha, thankfully Bixler and David knew their S, and those plans never let me down - just these stupid thumbs from time to time. But it was all worth it, I'm slapping together VTOLs and quads and keeping my skills honed, and helping fellas get into this awesome hobby almost every weekend. The very first plane I scratch built, a Versa Wing, rests on display in my living room. I'm pretty proud of how far we've all come since those days!

    • @d.jensen5153
      @d.jensen5153 Před 2 měsíci

      Nothing wrong with Readi-Board planes. Many of us trust 'hundreds of dollars' of hardware to foamboard and XPS craft all the time. A bent motor shaft on a $9 motor was my biggest disaster so far, and that was entirely due to _my_ poor handling.
      The idea that dimensions must be rigidly followed or disaster will ensue is also a bit strange. CG and piloting issues are what usually jeopardize a plane. Of all the dimensions Andrew just rolled off, the pitch of the horizontal stabilizer was the primary salient to me.

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes they knew what they were dong, specially the wings

  • @Poundy
    @Poundy Před 2 měsíci

    nice job! love a good scratch build. Flies nicely. My initial thought was though that it'd be hard to get CG comfortable with such a long nose moment and a relatively short tail boom - comparing it viaually to say the form of a Gentle Lady (which it's not that dissimilar to) the overall shape/dimensions are in similar scale, but the wing saddle would need to be a bit further forward... but I love the way it flew. iNav missions next !

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  Před měsícem

      Yes the nose was too long. I did move the wing saddle forward about 3cm

    Hi, could you explain how to check our motor connection using multimeter?
    My motor doesnt respond even though I already connected to my Servo tester, battery and ESC
    Thank you so much

    • @RB-qg1qx
      @RB-qg1qx Před 2 měsíci

      Using a multimeter, set to resistance (ohms) and connect to any 2 of the 3 wires going to motor, you should get a low ohms reading between any pair. If no reading then you probably have a break in a winding on the motor.

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks RB, also check resistance of ESC wires end to end for breaks or desoldered connections.
