Will be a while before I have time to do that. Follow the link in the description to the webpage of the club that invented this timer. They have an alternative design for running brushless motors from an ESC.
Pretty slick man. That would be nice if you can work it the other way too. Throw it as a glider, then have the motor kick on. Or one motor on with another off, then switch. You could get it to fly out then back. Mosfets can do that, right? Turn one circuit on while keeping a second circuit off until the first circuit turns off. Like instead of remote control, it would be programmed time control
Awesome What is the wing span of your foamboard test plane there ? Was the geared motor off a parkzone model ? i have been in Rc airplanes for a very long time but would love to get into small electric free flight . great info in the video High five to ya
The battery in the plane is the one powering the motor. The other battery is just used to charge the timer circuit. You can modify the circuit to use only one battery and a switch.
@@grahambate3384 To increase the run time, increase the capacitor or resistor I used in this video. Making either value about 8 times higher will give you roughly 4 minutes of run time.
soumita bhattacharya IRF540N. They're pretty common because they're used with Arduinos. But any equivalent will do. You just need a signal diode that can withstand the current draw.
Nice video. 1 question. Will balance be changed when motor is turned on?. I made one free flight too. It flies fine when motor is turned off, but headstand immediately. Not sure what caused it. ua-cam.com/users/shortsn4aJKsgRNE8
You Sir are a lifesaver!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! :)
Thank you for posting video and the link!
great video, can you please make another timer for a bigger, higher amp draw plane. with a race drone motor on the front?

Thank you for the video. I had been looking for a simple timer like this for long! What is the voltage of the capacitor?
16 volts. But it only gets charged to 9.
@@drgozzard Thanks a lot! Much appreciated :)

hola David, los valores de los componentes electronicos cuales son???...gracias.
Why not use a simple silly putty timer to disconnect the circuit. Works well in free flight.
would be nice to know what mofset it was as there 1000's of them
Holy cow thanks for that!
What mosfet u use

Wingspan was 30cm. Yes, motor and gearbox was from a parkzone vapor. Glad you liked it.
Judging by your shirt, I can't tell if you're a fan of the RAF or the band Thievery Corporation. 😊😊😊😊😊
Hi can you give a run down of the components, which mosfet etc?
Thanks
Good video! but It seems using supercapacitor and 2 AA batteries to charge it is way more simple solution.
I missing something, wot the battery in the plane for? I want make timmer for control line which runs about 4 minutes cheers Graham

Long time?

Interesting that the birds began following it...
I am from indonesia good ♥♥
How to make the aircraft model? Provide a template for that as I also want to make
Where can I buy the components please without incurring excessive postal costs, please? Thank you
Lipo battery 7.4v 200mha
electric motor7.4v
Can it be used for？
