An important lesson from Jean-Luc Picard that I’m still sharing all these years later.

Progress on the main rear doors. Not a perfect fit, but close enough. I need to move this project along 🤓 #rcplane #3dprinting #arado234 #retracts #wwii #dadslife

Designing, cutting, assembling and gluing…this 1:12 scale Arado 234 is slowing taking shape. #rcplane #lasercut #arado234 #happylife

This book 📕 Look I am not sure what to tell you…but everyone should read this book - assuming you can get past the prologue (terrifying). Read this book if you care about humanity, and want your children and your grandchildren to grow old on this beautiful planet of ours. #anniejacobsen #nuclearwar

This was my first set up - super easy and cheap.

The “Spotter” camera and video transmitter are $32usd and a low end set of analog goggles are about $70usd on AliExpress. This camera/transmitter can be moved from plane to plane easily (well placed 20lb velcro 😎). So for $100 plus shipping you are FPV’n!

Digital is the way to go for crisp clean FPV experience, but analog is way cheaper, easier to set up and pretty darn good too.

Yes. I think so…honestly can’t remember exactly.

The wingspan is 2 metres and I run a 4s 9000mah Lipo - flying weight is just shy of 8.5lbs.

I use a DJI goggles along with a compatible and programmable air unit, and Ardupilot for set up (and RunCam camera if I plan to make a video).

I use light weight PLA and create a fuselage typically with walls (single layer) about 5mm apart - with an gyroid infill at 5%. Of course some areas like where the wing attach to the fuselage are a different set up and are usually tied in with the landing gear set up for strength. I design in Fus360

I called this one a “Dragon Fly” - truth is while it looked damn impressive on the bench, she flew like a wounded duck, lol 😂 #3dprinting #rcplanes #dragonfly #justhavingfun

Love building RC planes - One of my fave custom designs - 3d printed fuse and other components, along with classic balsa constructed wing. #rcplanes #3dprinting #livingthedream
