Phantom Balsa F5K eDLG Kit 1.5 Meter Electric RC Glider Build Log
This is the build instructions (no voiceover) for our Phantom Almost-Ready-to-Fly (ARF) 1.5-meter RC electric glider. The Phantom is not just great for fun flying in small flying fields but as an entry into the F5K or eDLG competition classes and events.
The Phantom is a balsa built-up glider with a carbon boom, carbon spar and other reinforcements and is covered with a light plastic film. This is a 6-servo glider, which means it has Rudder, Elevator, Flap, and Aileron channels for control. The V-tails are controlled by a pull-string system with a spring in the control surface.
As the Phantom ARF comes mostly assembled, it usually takes 2-3 hours to put together at home.

      Unfortunately not, one of the recent updates broke our templates and we just don’t have the manpower to go through all the templates to update right now. However, I believe Mike Shellim has good templates that a lot of DLG pilots are using/enjoying.

    • @ArmSoar
      @ArmSoar Місяць тому

      Welcome to the DLG world! We see the most success for new pilots entering with a one meter DLG like the receiver-ready Deviant. Receiver-ready allows you to see how we would do all the installation details for reference on future builds, and the 1m size is easier to learn the launch mechanics on and less likely to be damaged during mishaps.

    Why are these expensive KST servos? 50 bucks for one servo is madness.

    • @ArmSoar
      @ArmSoar Місяць тому

      You absolutely need precise servos for DLGs due to their high performance aerodynamics. Everything must be not only precise, but repeatable. KSTs are great value servos for the performance offered.

    If you don't have flaps, you should use the old school method of full up elevator and full rudder. It will flat spin down at a fairly safe pace.

      I do prefer the lighter radios for DLG. You can’t go wrong with the 18s or 14s, although i prefer the screen on the top, so I am using the 18s.

    @_Bf-109 3 місяці тому

    Then you could use less expensive building materials like GFK instead of CFK. Then the plane must get other wings instead of more wight. It will not get in my mind

    • @ArmSoar
      @ArmSoar 3 місяці тому

      That will lead to a plane with weights spread across the wingspan, reducing launch height, agility, and thermal sensitivity.

    Stupid question maybe: I am used to plugging the battery into the ESC and the ESC into the receiver. Obviously, a glider does not need an ESC. I understand that I need a 1S Lipo to power the receiver and the servos. However, where/how on the receiver do I plug the battery? Do the 1S batteries come with a plug for the three pins in the receiver?

    Helpful. I have a Mini Elipse I have been flying for many years now and have a similar setup for cruise, thermal and penetration through cold air or when heading over to less sinky air. I have a potentiometer set to control the flap settings to positive or negative for fine tuning and use the idle-up switch (heli) for quick flap or flaperon settings. And like you brakes via the throttle. I have also used coupled elevator to flap for tightening turns when doing aerobatics. And coupled rudder to aileron paired to differential aileron/flaperon.

    Hi Thomas, thank you for this video. helpful on concepts. I download the template file and copied it to my X18S NAND /models folder. Somehow that corrupted the file system. I deleted the file, renamed the template file to 7 character filename. When I try to select it as the model to load, Ethos shows "invalid Data" would never load the template settings. I used Ethos Suite to reset the X18s to factory default. Any ideas on what maybe the cause? My Tx Ethos is now at version 1.5.4, Ethos suite shows all up to date.

    • @ArmSoar
      @ArmSoar 6 місяців тому

      Unfortunately, I think there is a major change between 1.4 and 1.5 that made reading our templates an issue :(

    • @acrodow0384
      @acrodow0384 6 місяців тому

      Thank you for responding. The issue is the template is unusable under current Ethos 1.5.4. Can your team upgrade a 1.4 Ethos Tx with your template on it to ver 1.5 to see if Ethos suite will upgrade the Template / model to 1.5 status and functional. If successful, please upload the updated template here. If not, perhaps escalation to the fine team at FrSky can fix this incompatibility (no workaround) within their own software. I like the logic and layout of your template. There is another DLG template out there that will work with 1.5. However, its logic and layout is like OTX, hard to manage and maintain over time. Hope your team can perform the upgrade test validation to get us going. Again, many thanks.
