Title: Beginner - need help Post by: Aafi on April 22, 2011, 02:38:14 AM Hi all,
I am new to this forum and interested in RC stuff.. I have RC Buggy, RC Bike and a 3ch Heli (all china made ;) )... Now I am planning to build my own RC Plane.. Coz building is more fun then buying one.. I have got some info about RC Planes from the below link http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681556&page=8 After reading through RC - India Gems and many different threads in this forum, I finally registered here to post my question... I want to build my own plane using CORO or Thermocol. I read many threads and most of the users recommended SPAD Planes for beginners. I also checked out Blu-Baby http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681556&page=8 (http://Blu-Baby http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681556&page=8) but more interested in building a SPAD. 1. I need ur guys help to select a simple SPAD Plane from the below link, so I can download the plan http://www.spadtothebone.com/freeplans.htm Also The plan which I will download from the site are those printable for e.g. I print them and stick the printouts on thermocol /coro and then start cutting..? 2 . Please suggest me what all electronics will be needed for this. I mean what type of motor, servo, etc,.. Thanx in advance to evry1 Title: Re: Beginner - need help Post by: rcpilotacro on April 22, 2011, 06:15:18 AM aafi, welcome. you have to look at your flying skill first, a lot of people build aeroplane and in the first flight total it. spads are not very easy machine to fly, at low speeds they tip stall unexpectedly. making yourself a aeroplane with depron is not a bad idea, longevity of such model is the question, 9 gms servos and some motors which akky is selling is good enough, which is the radio you have ? does it have DR and Expo ? how much of sim time you have logged. (Sorry if i am sounding like Dr Grace Augustine). my point is take one thing at a time.
(a) flying skill ? → sim time → Electric/High wing trainer (b) Build → depron → Coro c) Buy → trainer → Pattern → 3D Take it from there I hope it helped :thumbsup: Title: Re: Beginner - need help Post by: Vector on April 22, 2011, 01:42:12 PM building / flying....
both are different skills/thrills. accrd to me sims, good only for practicing.. may not teach u everything. would'nd recomend'em for a start. First learn how to fly, then build.(coz u'll know exactly what goes into building a plane) Title: Re: Beginner - need help Post by: Aafi on April 23, 2011, 01:36:49 AM Thanx for the replies...
I don't have a TX / RX and I am looking to buy a used one, may be nxt month (waiting for salary :) ) But 4 now I want to start building my plane.. I'l add electronics later.. If SPAD's are difficult to fly, can I tyr Blu Baby..? Title: Re: Beginner - need help Post by: Vector on April 23, 2011, 08:43:17 AM Blue Baby... best :thumbsup:
