using a drone to film a 3d printed plane. what a time to be alive
-
I think that the glue giving up so easily actually helps a lot in a crash, yeah, it's a pain to re-glue everything, but it's way better than having a rigid structure that transforms the total kinetic energy of the plane into "OMG 24 hours of printing gone to waste-energy".
-
Those drone shots are sick. Nice experiment with the plane.
-
From a vintage modeler of 70 odd years you get that result when you launch pointing up with low power. Try level to slightly down the airspeed will then build up, and even if it could not fly properly it will land straight. We used to have much less power and control years ago and had to find ways of getting the best out of it. Design looks good though.
-
Wow, those drone chase shots are next level, thats insane - superb engineering buddy, love it!!!
-
You got there in the end, kudos for sticking with it. Those aerial shots looked great, would love to see it fly at night with the lights illuminating the wing.
-
The launch failed because of the angle of attack on launch... It immediately stalled and engaged a spin. If you had a platform with a 4-5 degree upward angle climb on full throttle for launch, and had the correct airspeed for launch, your original airfoil would have worked. It was a really good design, I like it.
-
Awesome , so glad you got it to fly , i really enjoyed watching this . All the best ........
-
I just have to say something, THAT WING FLYYYYYYYYYS AMAZZZING GREAT WORK THUNBS UP,!!!!
-
That's amazing! So cool! The drone shots are beautiful. Show this to any job application and you're hired!!
-
Well done Tom ... so much fun to watch!!
-
Awesome video! Lots of fun to watch and very impressive how you kept going after all the crashes and problems. Very inspiring as well.
-
Nice documentation and glad to see that you were willing to show the fails as well. Great experiment and lots of learning going on. That is one of the most gratifying parts of the model aviation hobby. Keep up the good work!
-
its always a joy to see your projects success
-
Love that you stuck with it after the 2nd crash and got it flying! Really enjoyed this video
-
Absolutely in awe. These kinds of videos are definitely the ones that ultimately affect which career I choose.
-
This video was FANTASTIC!!!! Loved it.
-
Extremely WELL DONE VIDEO! Thanks for that!
-
Really enjoy your videos Tom... Keep up the good work!

Tom, love your videos, and also your persistence! Just in case no one has mentioned this, but a launching catapult would be great to get your tests up and be ready with your controller. You can probably design one with a foot release, or even a servo release using one of your controller channels. I am sure you have probably thought about it already, but it would definitely save you some effort. All in all, keep up the awesome videos, as they are quite entertaining and informative, as I am a big fan of aviation (served in the US Air force as an aircraft Mechanic (KC-135R) ) and I am a great RC aircraft and helicopter enthusiast as well. Really liked your air powered motor project!
