From free flight glider to a serious RC airplane

Taking an off the shelf free flight glider and turning it into an RC motorized airplane, using micro brushed motors to power its flight, a very fun and simple project to make.

This is an airplane you can buy for about $10 on ebay, you can find even bigger models, and then buy the electronics to make your first RC airplane yourself.

What ESC was used in the video? Part numberThanks.

also, turn your printing speed down a little it should cause your prints to come out better. especially when printing small stuff.

Hi, neat build. I tried to build one like this but building the esc and receiver as well. Sadly i abandoned this project for a while...your video made me want to go back and try again. Cheers.

what a lovely visuals in making rc plane video.close up shots are too clear.thank you for making rc and sharing this eye friendly video.cheers from india.

I loved that you run this plane with a single motor ❤️👍

[Anton-szef]

Hello, can you please tell me the weight of the plane ?

[laroto]

How about details of wiring the motors to the ESC to get the differential thrust?

[No-rhzp]

How did you add two moter to the esc I couldn’t see that well in the video

As a pwm controller for these brushed motor dont go for costly solutions just take arduino nano, nrf24L01 transmitter and receiver, one c945 transistor and then u can control the speed of drone brushed motor via standard arduino PWM pins.

Very interesting to see the whole process.

you may like... took a 2.4ghz 3ch heli apart, 2 motors on wing for power and differential steering, the 3rd motor on the tail boom (blade horizontal) acts as elevator. it flies like, and the controls are the same as a typical 3ch airplane, surprisingly well too.
edit, for motor mounts used 2 short sections of CF arrow shaft slit down the side, the motors pinch into them tight, and they are glued into the wing. easy to replace motors if needed.

One question: I have a turnigy tx5 reciever, will that work?

[MultiCreasey]

Great video and beautifully produced. Amazing production value! Thank you for making and sharing.

[fuhadrock]

hey name of your glue.... which glue u are using

[Fiverr]

Jow many grams trust have this one motor?

[christopheherreman]

That's the multiplex solius mini.. Converted such planes as well

[RahulKumar-hnox]

Can you please tell me about the electronic connection done in this model
I want to make this project
Can I use this project by using fsi6 transmitter and receiver???
Please reply me

Bought all the parts you‘ve suggested, but can‘t geht the motors to work. Binding with the receiver was fine, servo is working, only Motor doesn‘t spin/start. Any idea what the reason could be? Maybe the default PWM frequency of 250 herz? Red about alternative firmware - where can I download it? Would be really thankfull for some help!

[rupeshchari]

What capacity battery did you used and what is the weight of the plane

[ktprojects]

This is what I have always wanted to do as a kid really cool
