Wow! Nano? DIY? We gotta talk. Im an old school nitro-n-castor oil glow pilot from the early 1970s. Clean, quiet, and affordable fun is the best medicine yet! You've just made life better by supplying not just one, but many cool ( sorry, dating myself) close proximity RC planes that can be flown in less than 1 acre. I wanna build and fly each and every one you come up with. Keep on keeping on.
Very innovative and impressive. Great video as I’m just now getting into edf/FPV. I’ve been flying rc helicopters since 1997 and now it’s time to mark myself as a rc Jet Pilot. Which it’s always been my main goal being my uncle retired as a general flying the F-16 viper and survived the pentagon attack on 9/11/01. Great Commentary! I look forward to seeing all your videos! As I’m starting to build my own DIY kits although I’ll be doing actual edf micro jets. 😎🛫🚁❤️
@Mikej111 the motor direction doesn’t matter as long as they are counter rotating. So CW can be on either side as long as the opposite motor (CCW) is on the opposite side.
Joe, keep up the great vids! The input from the voiceover is fresh. Don't quit. Have you ever considered an ultra micro classic biplane? Im thinking, maybe a Waco, or a Beechcraft Staggerwing? How sweet a little slow flyer would that be!? Thanks for the plans, gonna print the F22 and F35 tomorrow. Now, for electronics....
Thanks so much!! My online store BackcountryRC which is coming soon will have all the kits and electronics to build your own. And yes I will do a biplane at some point. I love slow flyers!
Super cool, excellently produced video. Now I really want one for myself! I have a few ideas though - What about a lightweight landing gear? With the props on the wings propstrikes shouldn't be an issue and it would just be cool to have. - Could you make a X-31 model with thrust vectoring, perhaps also a rudder? Maybe a rudder could be emulated by using differential thrust if there's an RC brick for that - Have you considered lighting the planes with a few SMD LEDs for night flying?
Stratos2 - no videos here -I tried landing gear once and it had a hard time getting off the ground because the way it flys fast in the air is because it can carry its momentum. I may come back and try to do gear again. - I may consider doing a X-31 - I am working with a company to get a quote on making a 4ch micro board with 2 linear servos and 2 motor ports for differential. Good to see you think the same👍 - And the micro F-15 (also on my channel) I made one with wing tip leds and it was pretty cool.
@@joecarpino For the custom board it would be super cool if it had a mixer on board for the delta controls as it's just a pain switching between delta and normal planes with my DXe. As for landing gear, it would likely require a just slightly bigger plane, but combining that with slight positive angle on the ground may lead to satisfying results Keep your awesome work up, I love these micros!
@@joecarpino I think having some sort of jumper or microswitch to toggle between modes would make the board more versatile and easier to manufacture as only one version would need to be made.
Daren Cogdon Actually that’s what I’m working on right now. I did a micro one with manual sweep wings! You can check out the progress on my Instagram. @joecarpinorc
Thanks! For an indoor plane (which I hope to make a video on) I suggest using a gearbox with a larger prop such as this one from Minimum RC 7x16mm: www.minimumrc.com/products/8520-coreless-motor-set 8x20mm: www.minimumrc.com/products/8520-coreless-motor-set And for a prop this would work for both, you can also cut it accordingly: www.minimumrc.com/products/75mm-propeller-3
@@joecarpino Thank you Joe for your prompt reply and your knowledge. I was the Canadian National Open Class Sailplane champion 1978 and again 1979. Left the hobby in 1980. So I can fly sailplanes but I don't know anything about electric. My daughter just bought me a Spectrum Dx6e. Not sure if I should use the smallest brushless motor I can find and the 4 channel receiver from Spectrum. I'm thinking maybe more durability and outdoors or indoors. It's cold up here!!! Any brushless motor size / prop combo you could reccommend? I could really use your knowledge. We're locked down up here. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks again!
@@chrissorlie6497 For brushless motor combos check out adamskyrc.com He’s my friend who is also into micros but he has brushless combos and balsa planes. For bigger brushless setups check out Flitetest they do a great deal helping the community and they have all sorts of electronics. For you I would recommend Power Pack A or F from their website. They have many plans and kits for that size and they are great park/indoor flyers (I recommend checking out the FT Mini Scout)
Hi, I think this will be my first rc plane build. But, do you know board that can work with frsky? Because I use taranis qx7. Love your videos btw, subbed ❤️
Hey is it possible to use differential thrust instead of independently moving the control surfaces left and right. I actually I had a setup from another micro jet which uses differential thrust, but has an independent elevator servo.
Yeah you could definitely use differential thrust for control. It’s a very forgiving airframe. As long as your CG is good, with a little bit of trial and error I’m sure you can get it to fly great!
The foam is foamboard with the paper peeled off so yes 3mm depron would work just fine. And when you print the plans it should be in poster configuration and it should only be 2 sheets. The wingspan should be 8.5-9”
@@joecarpino The concorde wasn't stable? That's a shame, I wonder if perhaps transparent wing fences or slight weights on the wing tips could help there...
Stratos2 - no videos here The biggest reasons are it was pretty heavy and the wingtips have and anhedral making the tips stall pretty easily. I could make it a little less scale and do dihedral. If I do that it should work great.
@@joecarpino Hmmm, would be a shame to loose that famous wing shape though... I guess making it bigger so it is lighter and giving it slight dihedral at the wing root may be a compromise...
Homemade RC Plane by Sri Hartoyo I think it came out to be around 20g (give or take 5g range) and it had about a 5min flight time on 75% throttle with a 200mah 1s

I like the voiceovers and the fact that you mentioned specific electronics and motors. Keep up the good work!
Joel Spangler I was second guessing myself a lot on the audio. This reassured me. Thanks!
Good making rc plane diy, it s succed fly well, looked pretty and nice manuver

This is amazing! What a great flying micro! FliteTest should hire you and have you head up the “Mighty Micro” series!
I wish lol, and thanks!!
Very cool Joe. Like the format. Looking forward to see more micros and videos
Love the voice overs and content 🙌🏽.
Nicely done, she handles really well!
Thanks for the excellent video. More diy aircraft please!!! I'm poor so nothing fancy. 😂
Awesome project and it flies great! I bet that would be a great indoor Parkjet in the Winter. Gym close by? See you in the Air!
Ground Control RC Sadly no rc gym, but there is an old ibm warehouse where my sister plays soccer I could try.
Nice and all but where is the link in the description?
Love from India Mumbai
awesome stuff
great design, cool build video.

Very well done. For a slower single motor indoor what prop size would you reccommend using the indoor / outdoor motor? Thank you very much.

I have the FrSky protocol board I used on my store, www.backcountryrc.com/product-page/5ch-micro-servo-esc-brick
I have got the plan but I don’t know where is the CG ?
I couldn’t get those plans to download?
how much did the electronics cost you?
Nice build. What’s the CG?
357goodtimes about 1cm from the leading edge where the wing meets the fuselage
Joe Carpino thanks

@@joecarpino also should I get the plans printed on A4 paper?
@@hamzaibrahim2041 I think I have it set to standard US 8.5” x 11”

What size plans for printing must set. And is 3mm depron?!

@@joecarpino Thanks and just subbed to your channel.
Hi Joe what material and thicknexx are you using
Jonathan Heath Depends on the part. For this application I used dollar tree foamboard WITH THE PAPER PEELED OFF which has around 5mm thickness.
What's the max flight time ?
Depends on how hard you push the throttle. Anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes
You should make a micro Valkyrie
Mcclary Aviation I tried the Concorde and it was very unstable because of the short wingspan. The Valk is pretty similar. I could try it though.👍
