    thank you sooooooooo much for making this series! I really wanted to get into rc plane flying but I had no idea where to start. I have been watching this series and now I feel confident enough to start my own plane build. thank you so much flight test!!

      @whopperlover1772 Před 7 lety +1

      Legolessed Do you already have your electronics bought? Are you on a budget? Wondering because I want to scratch build my first as well.

    • @legolessed6073
      @legolessed6073 Před 7 lety

      ByteMe I got my electronics already, though my receiver broke. yay...

    • @whopperlover1772
      @whopperlover1772 Před 7 lety

      Legolessed Was it an electronics kit from them or bought it separately? What transmitter and receiver was it?

    • @legolessed6073
      @legolessed6073 Před 7 lety

      ByteMe it was a flysky recieved and no, it was not from flight test. it was my fault though.

    • @stevstomatoe6456
      @stevstomatoe6456 Před 7 lety

      if you're making a plane, I recommend:
      www.horizonhobby.com/receiver-esc-dsm2-x-ember--champ--j-3-pkz3352
      www.horizonhobby.com/prop-and-spinner%3A-sport-cub-s-hbz4401
      www.horizonhobby.com/gearbox-with-motor%3A-champ-hbz4930
      and some 1s(cell) 3.7v lipo batteries.
      that's pretty much the CHAMP RTF, Which I highly recommend.
      If you really want to build, I recommend the Flite Test mighty mini's, and their site had all the electronics made easy.

    I had to figure all this out for my self when i bought a 10 year old glow P51-Mustang and had no idea how the internal components had to be set up. I'm sure this video will help a lot of people that don't know that stuff yet.
    And I'm very new to electrics so there's some pretty good info here for me too!

    I thank you guys at flight test for all that you do, not only for putting out awsome videos, but also reaching out to kids to get them into the hobby. It keeps them focused on constructive things with their minds and hands and not focused on destructive things that most kids get into these days. Even though I'm 58, i am just now getting into the hobby and scratch building my own and hoping to get it in the air soon. Your free plan downloads help out a lot and the beginners videos that you put out are priceless. Thank you guys and keep up the good work.

    I went to a hobby shop when I was 16 and he sold me a build kit for some high wing trainer. I spent days elbow deep in epoxy, balsa and dowling rods. Then I spent many hours trying to turn the engine over without losing a finger. Then I spent five minutes destroying it.
    I've decided to get back in to it. Thank god for RTFs.

  • @boomerangfreak
    @boomerangfreak Před 11 lety

    no they are all the same you just need to have enough channels. Like most basic planes use just 4 channels (throttle, rudder, elevator, aileron) while more channels are needed if u want to add flaps or gear. But the good thing is that for multi rotors you do not need a channel per motor. You only need 4 channels (throttle, Yaw, pitch and roll) those are basic helicopter channels and are again the only thing you need for basic copters. The flight controller will take care of the esc and motors.

    Actually my very first plane "wing made from styrofoam" was a completely homemade out of own plans and i never been flying a plane when i launched that, after first throw i quickly found out that it was too light in the front.. stuck a rock on the nose with duct tape and amazingly i was flying.. such a great feeling! I really want to build that glider as i want my partner to get into the hobby and it seems like a great plane to start with :)

  • @GitGoodGaming
    @GitGoodGaming Před 6 lety

    I have an old 1995 Gas Powered Cessna (I think), 4 Channel, and still has the original everything.
    8 year old me got it from a friend of my father when he had ruined the wings when he clipped it and he had subsequently lost the remote control as well... my father lost the wings... so those need completely replaced. Good thing it’s balsa wood
    Well more than 20 years later of no flights I am finally old and financially stable enough to get her sky worthy again!
    I don’t plan on flying her for quite some time and I’m planning on becoming way more familiar with the hobby first. But I definitely want to get her to run again.
    Her engine isn’t seized, still has its original steel propeller, engine and fuel tank/ lines.
    I only can pray that there’s a controller that will communicate with it and that the place I want to go to will have replacement batteries as I’m certain an over 20 year old battery pack will explode if charged.
    I’m so excited to get into this hobby!

    I hope your going to talk about v-tail mixers as part of this. I have a DX6i and a DX8 but feel I could learn from some mixing advice. Oh and tell people how to use mixing on the DX6i as it's not bas simple as it should be, specifically throws. I almost killed a jetiger due to lack of throws.

  • @ravenlorans
    @ravenlorans Před 10 lety

    Would Be Great to talk about installing FAIL-SAFES. When you loose Signal or go Out of Range, You can have it Throttle Down or go into a Gentile Spin so you don't have Fly-Aways.

  • @elmosan
    @elmosan Před 11 lety

    Usually the ESC has a rating for the voltage it can accept. So a 30A ESC might be only rated for up to 3S. If you put anything more than a 3cell, smokes machine.

    As far as control surfaces go, sims are 100% accurate. I learned how to fly 6ch Heli on sims 5 years ago. I then bought my 1st 6ch 1 year later and it's still flying today. 100% credit to flying sims. If you are truly interested in this hobby, Your first purchase should definitely be one of these Txs you are talking about, a sim and "USB Dongle(s)" that are all well known to work together. Do not buy randomly, be sure all are meant to work together. Learn to fly, then purchase your Aircraft(s).

    A typical 9g servo can draw up to 700mA max. With a 20C 2200mAh 3s 11.1V pack, the rated discharge is 20x2.2A=44A
    With 44A, you could in theory power 62 of them little 9g servos. With a big enough cell capacity and discharge rating: UNLIMITED number of servos

  • @michaelkelley4275
    @michaelkelley4275 Před 11 lety

    my take on longer flight times would be to stick with the recommended battery size and double your "fuel" by using another battery the same size,but hooked up in parallel rather than series,giving you more time but more weight,as the battery gets used it doesn't loose phsyical weight like gas/glow,so you will loose some performance

  • @geraldcates7785
    @geraldcates7785 Před 3 lety

    When I was in college learning about electronics, I studied under a professor from Scotland (Professor Starrs), who expounded on his theory about "What makes electronics work?" According to this theory, each and every electronic part (resistor, microchip, transistor, etc...) is made with a little bit of smoke built in! The theory states that, IF you let that smoke out, that electronic part will NEVER work again! I even proved that theory a couple of times. (All "tongue-in-cheek, obviously! 🤣 🤣)

  • @kuyanatnatdkrx7

    language receivers talk is by binary numbers/hex numbers possibly.

    • @HungryGuyStories
      @HungryGuyStories Před 9 lety +2

      kuyanatnatdkrx7 Just a friendly FYI...binary numbers and hex numbers are the exact same thing, just written differently. For example, 0011 0101 1011 in binary is 35B in hex. The receivers are probably "talking" in pulses which represent the 0s and 1s.

    • @stevstomatoe6456
      @stevstomatoe6456 Před 7 lety

      the receivers are on a frequency, meaning, they will transmit their signal in pulses of light at 5.8ghz or pretty much 5800 times per minute I think. they can change the times they do and don't pulse, and that's the signal

  • @allyourcode
    @allyourcode Před 9 lety

    The thing I'm most interested in learning about is what transmitter/controllers are compatible with what receivers. Sounds like only some products from one manufacturer can talk to only some products from the same manufacturer? Are there no common standards that allow different manufacturers to talk to each other?

    • @allyourcode
      @allyourcode Před 9 lety

      Also, if only some receivers and controllers are compatible, how do I choose? Seems like if one determines the other, I need to think more carefully about what products to use? What do I need to think about when making that choice? Does it even matter very much?

    • @allyourcode

    So I'm just getting into the hobby. I'm more of an engine guy. I actually started buying small nitro engines because I thought that they were cool. I found a high wing trainer in Columbus ohio with a os 40LA nitro engine. It's got the old batteries. So if I wanted to go to a bigger battery, say a 3-5 cell, would I just need a bec? My radio and receiver are both futaba on FM. I'm thinking about upgrading the system to 2.4gh. What would you suggest as far as the battery with a BEC and a 2.4ghz kit?

  • @aerofiare9985
    @aerofiare9985 Před 5 lety
