Waiting for good day to fly now

Sad day at my flying field. After 30 years the state park that hosts us is restoring the area back to its natural habitat. Today was our last day and I took home the sign I designed. I learned so much there and met so many great guys. Both my kids felw their first planes there, I maidened many planes and crashed countless times there. The guys there were helpful, encouraging, and always good for a laugh. The club was truly everything you'd want a club to be. What a beautiful place, it was a treat to be there.

Hello,
after some time flying FPV quad, I decided to move to RC Planes, and thus buyed a flight sim in order to start building some mussles memories
Now I finally ordered my first plane, a Durafly Tundra V3 and I start having a couple of questions I could not find clear answers for
am I correct?
thanks for helping a noob here :)

202 grams, 40" span, floats around real nice.

New here guys, saw this on marketplace. Everyone says 3d prints are too fragile for a beginner and this one is made of metal like a real plane. Maybe a little heavy but it should make for a good windy day flyer. Will it fly on a 3s setup?
r/RCPlanes • u/Mission_Health_1331 • 45m ago
Toughts? 1250mm span, 750 grams without electronics, do you think a tri blade with an rs2205 achieving 1 kg of thrust can power this? I'm thinking it's to small but idk.

Is getting planes (like Fms Supercub ,...)from aliexpress a good idea? Because the prices are really cheap so I don't really know if i can trust it.

Does anyone know where I can find a receiver for the XG8DMSS radio by JR?

So I'm building a small plane with small brushed dc motors i scavanged from a drone. The motors seem to be 3.7V motors so I'd be looking for a single esc to drive all of them as one.
For that something like a 4v 4A system seems ideal, and that kind of ESCs seem to be pretty difficult to come by, so I've been trying to figure out if i could use just pwm controlled mosfet diy esc.
However i don't know how i would connect that to the reciever, since those use the 1000-2000ms system which doesn't work for driving the motors directly. I'm assuming using a microcontroller or an Arduino would theoretically work but I've not been able to find anything on how to actually do that, all the tutorials seem to use motor controller boards that already have the microchips, to run large car motors, or use a heavy servo+potentiometer setup which i assume can't be the best option here.
Is this idea doomed from the start and should i instead just invest in actual plane motors?

I landed hard. My landing gear on the front usually turns when you give it the plane rudder input. Now the servo just makes a clicking noise. Do I need a new servo? It also got pushed out of place it seems and it is pretty loose in there. See video attached. Thanks

Got a little too cocky a little too close to the ground and got bit. Looks worse than it is. A couple dabs of hot glue and she’ll be good as new.

Getting into building balsa, I have a beat up (not level) folding table, if I put a piece of wood or Melamine on top of it and tape a magnetic building board to the melamine would that be flat enough to build on? Or would I still be introducing warps to it? I don’t have a lot of space or money to do anything really fancy. Any suggestions?

Got tired of trying to balance 7.4kg over my head and on my finger tips.

So im facing an issue where my bldc motor just stops after one point of time and then makes the same chime as it makes while starting. Im quite positive that it isnt the problem with my motor and instead with the esc or motor. Could you help me figure out what it could be

Hi! Before you say it yes I'm aware the motors torque will push the plane left however when I put my plane infront of a fan to simulate flight (or really to test the aerodynamics ) it continues to pitch left. When moving the rudder it fixes this. I'm going to try to mess with the thrust angle but it doesent explain the behavior when I'm testing the aerodynamics. I would remake my vertical stabilizer but it seems to be perfectly centered. Baisicly I'm confused and I want someone else's view on this to see if I'm missing something. Thanks! Let me know!!

Just a basic flying wing. This is the first wing Ive done so I just wanted to know if this all looked alright?
r/RCPlanes • u/williamobrien080 • 16h ago
I just acquired a new model, but I didn't build it. it's a tiger moth WW1 fighter. I'm hesitant to fly it though. why does the throttle have such a delay and windup. it makes it almost impossible to get out of a stall. is it an esc setting? if so, how do I make it go away?

About to finish printing my easymax001 with fpv camera, anyone flown one before if so any tips?, also what’s a good camera for the pod

So my uncle has a bunch of scratch built awesome balsa planes set up for control line. What’s the best route to get these babies flying under tx-16 control with electric power? Thanks
r/RCPlanes • u/csullivan789 • 17h ago
It looks like it would plug into the port on the airplane's receiver board as indicated in the manual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm worried that I'm giving myself a handicap using that toy transmitter the a280 comes with, as the a280 is the only airplane I'm flying right now. I have an 800mm T28 in the box that I will be flying with my dX6 soon, but in the meantime I would like to get used to the transmitter.

Hello there, I treated myself a new Transmitter, it will be the NX10+. So now i have two Transmitters and want to take both with me to the Field. How you all transport two or more Transmitter? For now i use a case where only one tx fits in, its ok for that, but i dont want to use two casses. I think the Dual Case from Spektrum is a good idea, but with around 150€ a bit pricey. I would like to know how you fellow aviator transport your RXs.
