I just built one of these, and happen to have the same motor! Definitely going to try it, and it will be much lighter, but I was pretty impressed about a 10minutes flight with all the extra stuff. I don't believe TPU or any of those filaments are even that heavy anyways.
I m beginner to flying hobby
Just learning from CZcams videos
Thank you for providing video
Nice build. Looks great! Reminds me of a plane I had in 1977. Flight Test makes some nice stuff to get folks into the hobby.
Thank you! My journey into the RC hobby started with FliteTest. Such a great bunch of people.
They might be encountering some quality control issues with the boards they send out. My FC board I got from them was wired backwards, yet the gyro was wired correctly, resulting in a plane that can’t turn.
I tried to work with them, but they wanted me to document the issue in a way they were unwilling to do with their directions.
In the end, my beginner project was a total wash and it will be just used as spare parts. I was warned that flight test was not economical, but I had no idea it would be that bad.
Sorry to hear that. I've only downloaded their free plans and learned the hard way without a FC, which results in many crashes as you can imagine. Don't give up on flying. @@user-otzlixr
Nice adding the little touches, it personalizes your plane. I remember many years ago on my Kadet Senior i took some 5" wheels wide tires from an off road truck and found some wheels that fit inside the rim. Five inch tires allowed my plane to roll over goffer holes.
Thank you! Haha, sounds like a true bush plane.
What a great video and than you for the STL's. Let me know if there is a way to buy you a cup of coffee.
Thanks for watching! I hope the STLs are useful for your builds.
Looks Good... Flies Great.
Thanks for watching!
Love this!
Thanks for the great video!
Thank you!
Looks like a great flyer. I see storch, cub and stick mixed into one plane.
Thanks for watching. That is a good description, I'd have to agree!
Brilliant!
Nice flying, very smooth. Looks like you are well settled in your new home :)... but I miss flying with you around here.
Thanks, Tom! I definitely miss hanging out with the crew. A lot more open state and federal land out west for flying, for sure.
great video
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed.
@@LiftVector your design is different then other this airplane looks great
Nice.
Lovely stuff! Definitely be making one of these! Maybe balsa. Love the yellow.
Thanks! Good luck with the build.
@@LiftVector just printed out all the plans! getting excited. what motor/prop combo do you use?
Nice! Check out czcams.com/video/arO7EmZtBkM/video.htmlsi=Y7C92qjjsUOYGZlS&t=92 I put it in the description, as well. @@TheSquirrelRCchannel
thank you so much
what is the dianeter of these tpu wheels you printed? Ive spotted some online (not 3d printed) but the ones your using look perfect size.
Yep, the FT Storch was a great slow flying trainer for me too. Low durability made mine short lived. An old school balsa and maybe a foam wing would temp me. A cheaper FunCub kit needs to be.
I would like to try a FunCub one day, as well. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Qué bonito , yo fabrico mis aviones con material de reciclaje, en tu opinión personal es útil una impresora 3D
Thanks! 3d printing is great for the RC hobby. It takes awhile to get things right, but it is worth it.
12:03 I noticed the ends of the wings(after black tape) are missing material on the bottom. What is it called and what's the reason to make ends different from the rest of the wing?
I'm not totally sure, but this is how FliteTest designed it in their plans. The under camber helps reduce stalling at low speeds. Also an easy spot to install the aileron servos.
👍😀
I do not have a 3D printer. How much would you charge to ship me the items you 3d printed? I am in Los Angeles, CA.
Hi, I appreciate you asking. But it would take quite a few hours in labor to setup the prints and ship, and at least 20+ hours of printing time. I've never calculated my costs for something like this but it wouldn't be cheap enough to be worth it for you. I also don't have the right filament on hand.
3 pt landings easier with no flaps...
I will have to try that, thanks for the tip!
