#JoyplanesRC #HobbyRC - Jak na to + styl
Wow, this is awesome. For all us new pilots looking to build our first RC planes we learn that everything does not need to be super complicated and perfect! Before i was afraid i wouldnt be able to build an RC plane but this video gave me confidence, this plane might not look the best or be perfect but it is PERFECT for a beginner plane! Thanks so much!
The tools and materials your using are exactly what I have rn including the soldering iron you used as a foam cutter it’s kinda funny how perfect this is thanks
Thanks for sharing !
Superb job
I like the way of you building rc plane and vedio editing and your voice 😍 it's just a great
I probably should recommend the motor mount and other wooden parts glued to the foam need anchors into the foam for strength. Hot glue works fine for a while, but vibrations common to RC airplane models will fatigue the foam bond. The foam will tear away near the glue over time. I suppose that doesn't matter if you tend to crash your models soon after construction. A simple way to reduce the effects of the vibrations is to drill small holes through the wood parts and into the foam board. A bit of wooden dowel rod not much larger than round toothpicks will add strength to the joints, or just use the fattest round toothpicks you can find. Drill 4 holes a little back from the corners of the wood motor mount, so as not to get in the way of the screws that hold the motor to the wood, and around 2", or more into the foam will do the trick. I tend to put the round toothpicks halfway between the corners near the edge of the motor mount so the wood motor mount can be glued in place and the reinforcement can be added later. Same with other wooden parts glue to the foam.
Love Joyplanes❤️
i love your making style with teaching.cheers from india.
Well explained and very informative video, it will help me on my build.
Excelente!!
Love it
Good
Thanks for the video
I want to build my own rc planes thank you for the video sir I'm going to start learning how now
nice job!
I LOVE YOUR VOICE it is GREAT from sri lanka
i am really great full that you made this video because ,i have never made an airplane i was searching for videos on youtube until i found yours i am currently building the plane thank you. and i am going to subscribe
Pickle Rick! Que chido... Subbed!
I liked it
its almost more fun building than flying so rewarding..i started about 5 years ago..you wanna do some more 'flight test' planes..the wings are pretty fab..dont know if youve played with wings yet, but they a thing all on their own..like ya work..
thx man
nice bro
keep up the vids
I am a big fan of RC Groups and the many simple trainer build threads they have. I would recommend the Blu Baby project as a good one to start with, but there are others as good. The catch is the foam used is hard to find, which had a huge influence on the name of the project. These days a builder would have to use the Dollar Tree store Adams Readi-board, which is a paper coated foam cored poster board. and stiffen the soft foam a little with a thin, lightweight packing tape, or some other option. There is also the Flight Test foam board option from the same source, but with brown paper skins. Could offer more about the options, but don't want to hog the comments.
Amazing model.
Not so much but is really cheap
Sam Shephard would of liked this.
Well done
It’s easy to make this hobby too complicated. I’ve been crashing everything lately, so taking a step backwards is a good idea. I think I’ll have a go at something like this. It doesn’t matter what you fly, so long as you fly!
There are a few ways to more, or less crash proof a foam airplane of this simple design. The key is to use slightly different construction methods to keep the project super lightweight and reinforce as needed with lightweight materials. Carbon fiber rods, squares, tubes, and strips were popular ways of crash proofing foam model airplanes in the past, but that option has become too expensive. There is a guy that makes videos about crash proofing models offered in Hobby stores. Worth investigating.
There are a lot of skills shown in this video and he makes it look easy, but each skill takes time to learn to do well. Clearly, this isn't his first RC model airplane build and anyone new to the hobby should expect equal, or better results the first time. There are a lot of details about the model he didn't detail, but it would take a series of videos to cover the many details well enough for a first time builder/pilot. It would be a good idea to watch other videos of builds like this for those details and what can be done wrong easily until you know better.
Man! I need your mug!
subbed!
Awesome build and amazing intro hahaha only thing you need to change is the prop, trust me try to change the prop to different biblade plane will be faster, i had that prop on my rc delta wing, and when i changed the prop it flew much better😁👍
You may need to say a bit more about the propeller you used and if it was within the motor makers specifications so the motor won't overheat.
nice
Really nice vid. Love your work keep it up
Thanks man!
Joyplanes RC 2 all good
Good video but I would like that you mentioned the places than the components have to be
Reminds me a bit of the Pilatus pc-6 porter
If you have access to a Dollar Tree store, an arts and craft store, or other options that sell thin foam poster board (Adams Readi Board) with the paper skins on both sides, you can remove the paper on one, or both sides and make the rudder and stabilizer out of it, gluing foam to foam for a double thick part. The think foam poster board is often only 5mm, or 1/4" thick, but is easy to work with and lots of RC airplane builders/pilots use it for their entire flying model. Just don't glob on the hot glue and expect the model to be lightweight. Instead, learn to apply a foaming glue like the Gorilla brand urethane glue, or non foaming version in a very thin application that will form a super strong lamination joint without adding any real weight. Light weight models fly well with the recommended power pack offered if you finish the installation with a very slight nose heavy CG. Normally the battery pack placement and confinement helps to determine the best CG for the model airplane.
I love your all videos really nice. And thnx to make this video as in india its not easy to find the sheets for rc plane but thermocol are easily available. Is in this plane thrust angle is not required?
Good stuff no ,I go so far as saying Great Work !! Keep it up
Who you😟?
how long is the prop? what is the specification of the motor?
Hi i'm making this exact rc plane with straight wings what would happen if i dont give ailerons can i still fly it with just rudder
that home made esc and motor looks funny
Really nice plane bro, this is so cool. I love cheap materials 😁
Unless your can get your foam for free, you may want to buy a 4'x8' sheet of 1" home insulation board. You can go with thicker insulation board, but that would be more expensive. Then you can more, or less copy what he did in this video.
@@wattwaster5936 i use plastic from used mineral water bottle to build a fuselage, its cheaper and free 😂
@@MasboyRC Nice. Did you see what the guys at Flight Test did with that idea? I am thinking of more than a few projects they did and a few I did that were inspired by the Mario game "Bullet Bill". I used the water, soda, and other liquid drinks with the smooth bottle design. If you cut off the bottom, the remaining plastic bottle looks like a bullet with a cap, which I cut off. Filled the hole in various ways, but the fuselage was round and could be extended with a foam tube I cold roll out of thin foam board. It can be built as a tractor design, or a pusher. All you need then is wings, stabilizer, and some sort of rudder design, or as a flying wing configuration. Simple, cheap, lightweight, and easy to repair, or replace parts. If a guy, or gal isn't careful, this idea can lead to all sorts of flying projects with various changes.
may i use 1400 kv motor and 1500 mah 3s battery?
Is there a substitute for the transmitter
I'm actually considering converting a glider to rc is the motor power a major thing? would a 1000kv work as substitute ?
Quick question. Is that motor good enough for a piper cub model with a 1m wingspan? (Over all weight will probably be under a kg of the plane)
EDIT: my piper crashed badly and i made a new plane. An FT Mustang with some modifications of my own... it flies BEAUTIFULLY, has crashed a few times but I consider it a success even in terms of flying the thing because it is a warbird afterall and since I never actually flew the piper as the longest it flew was 9 seconds, Im pretty good at flying the mustang! Even in WIND! well, i still need to work on my landings but ill get there- Yesterday was my second ever flight of the plane and im already doing low passes, barrel rolls and loops! I do have prior experience to RC as i used to fly helicopters and quads but never flew a plane... But yeah, its free therapy for me! Its fun!
how long dose the battery last?
What is the weight of plane and how many generate thrust.
You said I am going to leave measurements in the description, I Don't see legends what is black line in your design, similarly what is blue line ? When you cut wing you put some dots and then you slice them away can you upload some modified measurements with exact location to cut, slice etc as you do in video?
Every time I see a great videos like this I press like and share. And I’m going to make my own RC now but I adjusted the dimensions according to my own calculations (maybe because I use different materials in the body of plane) 😂 but I have learned many things about this video, I will subscribe to see your future projects. Keep it up.
this is perfect to noobie, build first plane and looking like him this hobby. no go moneylot.
Can I use 2200 mah battery Please Reply Sir
i am new subscriber here can i use 1000kv brushless motor with1045 proprller
Can you tell me the battery mah please
Hi friend, amazing skills you have and your voice too , here I am new to this hobby, but why don't you make a video for beginners to tell them about the basics, for example, how much should be height of fuselage? How much should be wing, chord length, elevator etc , like it should teach or tells what should be considered while designing a first plane either by ones self of copying others plans , I hope you get it
Hi, I started to make an online course to teach basic things. The first course will be building a foam board airplane and is online tomorrow, you'll see more info on the website, later I'll be creating more small courses like that one to teach several topics about it.
@@Joyplanes that's great, kindly share a link of the courses please, also as a starter my advise is to make it simple, we see you and other guys cutting foams and doing measurements like it's nothing to you guys, means you know how much should be height of fuselage, how much inclined be the fuselage to the tail, and it confuses guys like me that, how can you guys cut it like either there is some rule to this cut or there can't be any rule, I hope you got my point, anyways please share the link of your online course please
@@Joyplanes I have subscribed to your online course but your videos are in different language that I don't understand what to do ? In introduction I don't understand your language as it's not English?
@@jalalhaider83 Hi, sorry I didn't share the link with you, you entered in the Spanish course, I'm offering another one in English here en.joyplanes.com/mini-course-rc-airplane/ please email me to send you a full refund of this one you bought.
@@Joyplanes I have already email through contact page on your website, do you have another email, kindly share you can see email as my nick says ?
How thick is your styrofoam?
Hi can i use a 1040 propeller and a 2200mah 3s lipo?
yes
30A ESC and 2230 1000 or 1400KV motor.
@@mattivirta i been trying to fly my home made plane but it won't fly
Step no 478, I love dry humor
I want to make the same one as in video but he didn’t mention any size of the plane so it’s kind of sad
IT WILL BE GREAT IF SOMEONE LET ME KNOW THE MUSIC NAME AT STARTING
I thought you had a second video on this build, but I am not finding it.
it's not on CZcams you'll have to go to the link provided on the description.
@@Joyplanes Oh, OK, between videos, so I should check it out. Have a playlist of simple RC model airplane builds and added this one. Wait, which one of the link are you recommending?
What is the benefit of taping the elevator please REPLY
I used tape to make it strong and it acts as a hinge for the elevator
That I know but and I am asking that why you have covered the whole elevator with that tape. Plese REPLY
A nice way of life, but not really cheap.
super cheap. go motor,esc,battery,tranceiver+receiver,servos, about 70-90$ max. super cheap first time test new hobby.
@@mattivirta in some eastern european countries it's some amount of money. Consider the fact that the average sallary here is around 450-500 dollars.
In more than a few ways you are correct. It depends on what you think is cheap, or too expensive. Compared to other RC parts options, this would be cheap and good enough to get started in the hobby. The catch is the hobby isn't cheap compared to other entertainment options. If you crash your airplanes like most people do when getting started in this hobby, it will get expensive real fast, so the trick is to learn how to take small steps to learn how RC planes fly well, or not. The brain needs time to learn how to control an object that flies away and back towards the RC pilot, since each is a very different event.
@@wattwaster5936 Making the Plane More Aerodynamicaly Stable is an Option, to make it easier to control for noobs, but it's not an Option for many.
@@yurisv7315 To keep the build as simple as possible the builder/pilot has to ignore a few options that would give the model more of a scale appearance and improve, or reduce the drag. This video is a good example of keeping it simple and effective as a trainer for new RC builder/pilots.

Can i use 1000kv motor
Yes.
@@Joyplanes thanks man you are a great dude
@@Joyplanes do something crazy like peter sripol to grow your channel.
@PeterSripol
ok
I like this video but you can’t se the article posted
It's fixed!
Ok thank e
You
