Those wings are little more added drag. the aero foil, if you can call it that, is a shaped like a brick which means no curvature over the top of wing which means no accelerated air over the wing to create a low pressure zone on the top of the wing. In other words, that wing is not gonna have any lift, and if you have no lift, your plane is not going to fly
I reckon if you secured the wing a bit better so it doesn’t make it pitch down and added a normal rc brushless motor the plane would fly fine until the lack of control causes a crash. It definitely needs more thrust. I think you’ll struggle to get much more out of the buggy motors unless you can feed them more power through some custom electronics. You could also probably replace the wings with baseplates like peter’s plane to balance the lego purity of components (just don’t cut them). I think once you get enough thrust it’ll fly fine. Then you can work on getting more control with ailerons, rudders and the like.

Shape the wings into actual wing profile
Move the center of weight back and add more gears simple fix.
Stella is the best builder 😂
the workings of a plane that make it fly
Stella is so talented, is she the reason you get up in the morning? Is she the inspiration behind the builds?
🐶
She helps me a lot with the ideas for sure!
You need an airfoil shape to the wings. Flat and level wings won't generate any lift.
wrong! i have made multiple rc planes with a flat airfoil, although the plane in general needs alot of adjusting to fly
@MrMindaSchmit And I bet none of them were as heavy as a LEGO plane, right? Do you use angle of attack to get that to work?
no, im saying flat wings can generate lift@@Chris-lk3fq
you need to add a pitch
what were the first motors you used.

Btw I’m studying aerospace engineering and have made 2 Lego plane prototypes so don’t trust anything I say. At your own risk.
You should do this once every year and see how much you can refine it. Great video bro 😎
stella looked like she had some ideas to fix it, cant wait for the second remake to this video
U need flaps for the wing so it can turn or go up/down
So sweet!😃
If you don't even have any elevator of rudder control, The plane won't fly. Only a few meters.
tu est créatife
petersripol is the first in canada you are the 1st in the usa and the 2nd person ever
Um you can hardly call those wings, there's more to them than just a piece of foam board.
Hey jack wagon this is a Lego plane - daddy chill
your hair cut looks 💯
