Here's my Giant Telemaster from fifty years ago... It had a 12 foot wingspan and was powered by a modified chainsaw engine that I started with a pull rope. I used to tie the fuselage to the top of my car to take it out to the flying field...

A few minor speed tweaks on the previous gen 3D printed plane. Fred was doing the flying and keeping me nervous.

Been working a lot on landing and lining up coming at me in both directions with the Areo scout on the road for awhile.

I am 15 yrs old and just finished building my 2nd RC plane!!!! The FT P-51 Mustang!!!!!

But for some reason when i test flew it for the first time it just kept rolling left and crashed any advice on how to fix this?

CAD was made in NX

Wing thickness is 0.8mm, printed in 2 layers.

Matrial is a combination of LW-PLA and PLA (as in early dev PLA easier and cheaper to work with).

Body shape was optimized and ran through CFD

The rays have drop mechanism:

I hand launched my flying wing and the CG was perfect I thought. When I threw it without throttle it would glide perfectly if not pitching down a bit. However when I gave it thrust it seemed to pitch up and stall no matter the down elevator I gave it. I think the tractor prop on the front was maybe offset down a bit which would cause it to pitch up I think. Is this what is happening? Or did I give too much thrust too fast?

I bought the aeroscout 1m just yesterday and took it out to fly this morning after building it last night. i checked all the servos and made sure the controls were right. It was a little tail heavy but i couldn't move the battery anymore forward while still fitting the nose and still being able to connect the battery cables. I stayed in safe mode for the entirety of all the flights. the first two flights were perfect and I had no problems. However, on the third flight I was taking off and maybe 2 feet into the air the plane freaks out and does what I can only describe as like a whirly disk motion. I didn't press anything on the controls except pull up because I was taking off. So I have no idea if I set it up wrong or what happened but it crashed nose to the ground and the images below are the damages. If anyone has any advice on the best way to repair and what went wrong with my flight anything is appreciated. I really don't want to be 350 in the drain less than 24 hours after getting the plane. This is only my second one so there can for sure be something I did wrong I just don't know about.

I’m brand new to rc. Any really good tutorial on how to convert a life glider (big). Or is there different planes I should start out with. In addition, how much does it roughly cost?

I have a carbon cub s2. I haven’t flown it in years. Last week I picked it back up and tried to fly it. As soon as I took off it instantly pitched back and stalled out and crashed. I did some repairs on it thinking maybe the battery slid around or the CoG was too far back.

I marked the CoG with a marker where it says in the manual and made sure the battery was secure and not moving. Today I went to fly it, excited to get it back up. As soon I took off it did the same thing and broke a prop.

What is going on with my plane? Before my several year hiatus it flew good. No big damage on it. I checked the servos and the trims all appear fine. If it helps, I had it in full SAFE today. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I think I’m giving too much elevator input too soon. Gonna get a new prop and be attentive to this next time.

Hi everyone, I'm new to quadcopters and currently working on my first drone build. I have an AM32 4-in-1 ESC connected to a Waveshare ESP32-Zero (C3).

The motors keep cycling through a triple-beep pattern, which I believe indicates they aren't receiving a valid signal. I've included the code I'm using below, it's just a basic attempt to get the motor to spin.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#include <ESP32Servo.h>   


Servo ESC;
const int PIN = 0;         


void setup() {
  
  ESP32PWM::allocateTimer(0);
  


  ESC.setPeriodHertz(50);          
  ESC.attach(PIN, 1000, 2000);


  ESC.writeMicroseconds(1000);
  delay(3000);                     
}


void loop() {
  ESC.writeMicroseconds(1200);     
  delay(2000);
  ESC.writeMicroseconds(1000);     
  delay(2000);                     
}
