I am currently building a 25kg aircraft, so please tell me how powerful a motor and battery pack is required to fly it for at least 15 min. Please. By the way nice build. Looks like an excellent design, keep it up.
I keep procrastinating on a long-range build under the assumption it'll be more complicated than something acrobatic, but this emphasizes the bare necessities for LR fun. Many thanks!
Bro I’m going to tell you right now that I’ve stumbled across videos randomly before and this has sincerely changed my life and I have never seen anything like this ever. Man you won a new subscriber today wow
That's a really nice build, I feel like you don't often see good looking and good flying planes that are this easy to put together. As a fun side note, if your aircraft geometry will let you, inverting the V-tail gets you even better performance. When you turn using a V-tail it induces a small amount of roll opposite of how you're rolling for a turn, the A-tail flips that around into roll that goes with the turn.
@@AeroStuffFPV yeah that ads a lot of weight and drag. you can do extra janky stuff like making the A attach to a horizontal stabilizer. you also often see the A tail on a twin boom which would work on a pusher set up, but that would require a huge redesign. My design team likes A tails but our landing gear is never high enough to allow for one
That's a very interesting and useful tidbit of information I had not realized before. The fact that inverting the V-rail counters the counter-turning. Very kool.
Interesting build, thanks for sharing. May I suggest a few details, that could improve performance? First the alluring box fuselage. The vertical side of the long nose will act as a vertical stabilizer in the wrong end of the plane and counteract the v-tail. Think shooting an arrow backwards (feathers first). A rounded shape would be better, but keeping the vertical side as low as possible also helps. Secondly, while providing some (servo) redundancy, the V-tail induces adverse yaw. An inverted V-tail helps providing positive yaw, but can be difficult to implement in the tail pushed design - it sits more better on a twin tail boom configuration. So a conventional tail may be better. Finally the availabilty of affordable laser cutters makes building your own wing profiles from NACA proven airfoils very easy, so you don't have to compromise here. Still I like you project a lot!
Thanks for these ideas for improvements! - The Adverse Yaw effect had no significant or noticeable effect ever in my V-Tail designs and worked flawless. The square tube design is just the easiest method of building a fuselage for FPV platforms (not the most aerodynamic/optimal shape, but it works well enough for a +10km and back) The Inverted-V design came to me last couple of days coincidentally, to have an FPV design look like an MQ-1 Predator - But that is indeed complicated since it’ll need the retractable landing gear of same mechanics. But it might happen because parachutes an consideration too.
Very well done instructional! I'm an old man who is new to trying to build my 1st RC plane, I'm going to go with your plans. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid
I'm glad to know that you're a true model aeronaut. and see people like you still doing it the old fashioned way. most model plane makers just want to buy a kit. continue to show that you are from scratch you are not lazy you created your own style of modeling all the best stay in peace 👏💪
Man, you are crushing it!! I'm glad to see you taking the EA style to the next level. I'm jealous you're getting so much air time. Keep carrying the torch. And way to go on the huge views on this video.
Hey while looking for depron sheets to use for this build I found out regular foam board from the dollar store is just paper reinforced depron. This means you just take the paper off of the foam board and cover it with light weight tape like AeroStuff FPV was showing. It works really well! I shaved 4 grams on a 6x6" piece of foam board by ripping the paper off and covering the foam in tape.
Thanks so much for the video! Just finished my Christmas break building one of these. Using a normal 4 channel radio for the maiden, then adding FPV and Matek controller. Awesome design - goes together just like your video!
So. Excellent work! You are the subject matter expert on this aircraft. So I defer to your great experience. Your winglets are over sized, you are correct that they cancel vortices, but they do not need to be 3-4 inches on each side of the wing, .5" at best. The faster an aircraft goes the larger those winglets need to be to maintain stability during maneuver. yours are very large for what little speed you are maintaining. What you have created is an aircraft that in a very tight bank (75 degrees) allows you to turn in place and observe a point on the ground without losing altitude, and minimal throttle correction to maintain that altitude. Forestry Cessna 152's, have very large rolled down wing tips so they san "Sit and spin" over a potential target and observe it. You seem to be going for loiter and distance, I would just add bent winglets (-6 degrees or more with experimentation) depending on how much loiter in the turn you want. my 2 cents. everything looks great.
Hi Nathan, I wanted to express my gratitude for the incredible work you've been doing. Your experience has been a valuable source of learning for me, and I appreciate the effort you put into sharing your knowledge. I'm particularly intrigued by the setup you used for the vtail plane, and I would love to explore the components further. Could you kindly share the links for the 950 KV motor, propeller, and the rotatable camera you featured in your video? I'm eager to dive into the details and potentially incorporate them into my own projects.
Thank you for posting this video! I have precisely 0 experience in this area but am interested in creating a long range build like this. Thank you again!!
Very cool. I started building a custom airplane - Experimental Airlines style - a couple years ago, and never got around to finishing it, and I was trying to figure out how to attach the wing to the fuselage ... and then I just happened to discover this video, and there was my answer! :) I'm definitely borrowing some of your ideas. I never even thought to put FPV gear in it, even though I'm currently doing some fixed-wing FPV flying and just got an airplane ready to fly with an F722-WING controller running INAV 6.0. Just waiting on a new radio, and hopefully INAV 6.0 will be official just in time for the maiden flight. But now I'm fired up to finish building my Experimental Airlines design!
Do you happen to have an electronics episode with a step-by-step guide for assembling, connecting, and configuring it? I'm new to this world and trying to build my own, and I'd appreciate a guide for one of those.
These are really great videos and builds! Thanks a lot for sharing this one :) A couple of questions if you do not mind. 1 - How much payload it can carry, approximately? 2 - What was the final max. distance? 3 - Is it possible to connect this craft to notebook and control it from there?
Hi My apologies for the delay of the reply - I forgot to reply the moment I saw it weeks ago. 1: I'd say the aircrafts maximum AUW would be 2.5kg, so about 1000gr of payload - (unofficial) 2: Of all time, I got 10.8km - But with this aircraft, I got 8.58km so far. I hope to encouter good weather to fly further with it. 3: Depends on your radio/flight controller - Mine is simply operating from a radiotransmitter and goggles give the videolink.
Very good and inspiring video I really like the atmosfere you got in the video with the music and all Your parents should be proud off you, keep doing what you love to do and have a good time
for more range you can try to streamline servos; I've seen people put them in the fuselage and run wires out to the control surfaces. This would reduce drag a fair bit I think
@@AeroStuffFPV just a thought. A lot of NACA studies around the ww2 era looked into this a bunch. the british mosquito was very fast for its time, for example, because the wood construction meant it had a smoother skin than riveted planes. even metal planes went from protruding rivets to flush rivets. have you ever flush riveted something? it basically doubles the amount of work it takes to assemble it. The other big areas of study for NACA drag were air scoops (look up NACA scoop) and how to cowl rotary engines and water radiators for min drag.
That’s sweet bro. I didn’t realize depron was so much lighter. I’m def gonna give it try. My main flyer right now was inspired by the reptile dragon 2 and flys awesome but weighs 1,200g without the battery. 48in wingspan and auw of 1,970g lol. I don’t mind it but it’s very nice to know that depron can make a difference.
Yeah, depron would make your plane go 300-400gr lighter. It revolutionized my builds! A flying wing of mine with a 4S 5000mAh Battery got me my endurance record of 2h 02min (plus thermals) but avg. amps were approx 3-3.5 and it wasn’t small either (approx. same as this aircraft). Depron is the go-to!
Bonjour ; vôtre montage est absolument bien réalisé ; c'est réellement bon au vu des prises de vues aériennes , stabilité réactions aux commandes de vol ; du très bon travail ; bravo . Salutations amicales de FRANCE . JCC .
I like your builds and was considering making one, never have built a plane before. But i kinda want to come up with something unique and not just a copy. Does anyone know of a good resource for general guidelines like dimensions of wing area compared to other surfaces?
Can you create a video tutorial for beginners? I'm interested in FPV drones, but I lack knowledge about electronics. Could you make a step-by-step guide on building a small drone? Thank you very much.
How much distance could be added adding solar panels to the wing, considering weight of all the panels and added components? Encorporate them into the wing design to minimize drag(recessed area for panels). Might not be too much considering the size but have seen it before near this size
The amount of solar cells to fly 3S/4S would be insufficient so it isn’t a solar flying platform. I’m considering building one in the near future and it’ll be a flying wing for lots of area for many solar cells as possible
"rctestflight" is kinda the spearhead in the solar plane arena. I believe his current version is limited to the LTE network, and weather. if he had clear sky's and signal he probably could coast to coast his aircraft.. until a motor or esc burned out. ua-cam.com/video/vYeYZpBE51I/v-deo.html
Thanks man! Many more designs on the channel too =) The bank angle is just determined throughout the years of testing. 12° banking and 10° climb/dive angle are the best values for autonomous cruise control
Maybe on a future video talk about the purpose of having tapered ailerons. Also, you still fly the wing? Can you compare it to your V-tail? Thank you so much!
Depron is an amazing material! Rare in Europe though. Could you please share info on what dimensions sheets are you using and what's the price for it where you live? P.S. hot glue is hella heavy. Consider using Polyurethane Foam Adhesive (quick version) made for tough XPS foam. That stuff is magical and it doesn't weight anything.
@@AeroStuffFPV Very good, cubic wing loading approximately 8.7, like a balsa trainer but very longest flight time! I building one this winter. Thanks a lot.
I was curious, so i thought i'd ask. How come you refer to the motor as a power plant? it didn't seem to be a source of power but a destination for it, hence my confusion.
Do you need to buy special Pusher Props, or are you just reversing the motor? Also, went to look for Depron, guess that stuff is now history. I am currently acquiring all the aircraft parts I do not have. Has anyone found a replacement for Depron that is waterproof as well as lighter than the standard 1/4" foam-board? Thanks AeroStuff FPV, as well as anyone helping me out with questions.
Great job. Your first V tail model is on my build list I think this one will replace it. Can I ask the motor you have linked in the description looks different to what you have fitted? What is the actual motor and prop you are running on this version?
Thanks! Good luck on your build =) It's a BR4114-600kv with a modified 14x5.5 Carbon SF Propeller (Soon replaced with a 14x7/14x8) - The motors listed are alternatives if the actual motors are out of stock. The previous V-Tail Pusher design (Black, Silver & Yellow) Has that particular BR3536/950kv.
I have a technical question: what’s weight ratio should be inside the fuselage? I mean center of pressure and lift from wing, is there a rule of thumb? Also what’s the best motor thrust required for good long flight
Hey there ! I'm currently working on an autonomous payload dropping drone and my knowledge on autonomous flight is very poor . I was wondering if I could have a 1 on 1 Google meet session with you to clear all my doubts and concerns over my project and I'm currently using your design for my project. It would be a great help if possible and I've got a very limited time to complete .
Yes! This FPV Platform can easily carry 2 or more GoPro Action Camera's - If the fuselage is made wider in it's dimension, it could be used for mapping or other specific camera missions.
@@ahtiramqureshi7788 That would add weight, drag, complexity and cost. I can see why it was omitted on a plane where one goal is long flight times and long distances. It wouldn't be very difficult to add though, just reinforce the bottom of the fuselage in the correct places and bolt on the LG.
@@AeroStuffFPV thanks for the response! I've been in the fpv & rc for about a year and 8 months already, building my own primitive planes, but I am planning to do the big jump and create something more complex, with the cameras on board, one or two propellers if necessary, for long range flight similar to military attack drones but with no weapons obviously. Your design by far has caught my attention, seems solid to be used as a platform for the development of my idea, although with the addition of the landing and camera systems some changes will need to be made from your original design, would there be any recomendation or advise you would give me to take into consideration for this project, materials, parts or any other insight will be apreciated man.

A high quality product as always. What is the thickness of the depron used for the wing?
5mm depron & foamboard
Do you need to buy special Pusher Props, or are you just reversing the motor? Also, went to look for Depron, guess that stuff is now history. I am currently acquiring all the aircraft parts I do not have. Has anyone found a replacement for Depron that is waterproof as well as lighter than the standard 1/4" foam-board? Thanks AeroStuff FPV, as well as anyone helping me out with questions.
The prop can be any type (pusher or normal) as long as the thrust is going to the tail (and the concave side is facing the tail as well)
Great job. Your first V tail model is on my build list I think this one will replace it. Can I ask the motor you have linked in the description looks different to what you have fitted? What is the actual motor and prop you are running on this version?
Thanks! Good luck on your build =)
It's a BR4114-600kv with a modified 14x5.5 Carbon SF Propeller (Soon replaced with a 14x7/14x8)
- The motors listed are alternatives if the actual motors are out of stock. The previous V-Tail Pusher design (Black, Silver & Yellow) Has that particular BR3536/950kv.
I have a question, is it possible to change the system to put a servo motor in place of the propeller motor?
your reciver vtx has a range of
winning, thank you!
I have a technical question: what’s weight ratio should be inside the fuselage? I mean center of pressure and lift from wing, is there a rule of thumb?
Also what’s the best motor thrust required for good long flight
Hi. What programs you use to auto pilot? Can you explain more about the electrónics?
Where do you get your Depron boards?
Hello.
Do you think it is possible to replace the plastic plates with balsa wood?
Hey there ! I'm currently working on an autonomous payload dropping drone and my knowledge on autonomous flight is very poor . I was wondering if I could have a 1 on 1 Google meet session with you to clear all my doubts and concerns over my project and I'm currently using your design for my project. It would be a great help if possible and I've got a very limited time to complete .
What hot glue are you using (gun and sticks)
Mine just melts depron….
Amaizing!
excelent.
Could this carry a gopro or any other hd cameras for on boarding recording? Also what about the landing wheels?
Yes!
This FPV Platform can easily carry 2 or more GoPro Action Camera's - If the fuselage is made wider in it's dimension, it could be used for mapping or other specific camera missions.
What about a landing gear? I want something which can take off easily off the land i stead of throwing
@@ahtiramqureshi7788 That would add weight, drag, complexity and cost. I can see why it was omitted on a plane where one goal is long flight times and long distances.
It wouldn't be very difficult to add though, just reinforce the bottom of the fuselage in the correct places and bolt on the LG.
Is it possible to add to its design a set of landing wheels or would it affect its flight capabilities?
possible
but affects performance
@@AeroStuffFPV thanks for the response! I've been in the fpv & rc for about a year and 8 months already, building my own primitive planes, but I am planning to do the big jump and create something more complex, with the cameras on board, one or two propellers if necessary, for long range flight similar to military attack drones but with no weapons obviously. Your design by far has caught my attention, seems solid to be used as a platform for the development of my idea, although with the addition of the landing and camera systems some changes will need to be made from your original design, would there be any recomendation or advise you would give me to take into consideration for this project, materials, parts or any other insight will be apreciated man.
how much volts have your batery becuse you have 2-3s esc and you have 4 s batery i have 2-3 s hobbywing esc 40 a
nice video!
