Hey guys! Any home builders here? Just started a personal project, and am trying to build my own RC airplane (was inspired by youtube, and countless articles found on the internet), out of foam boards, balsa wood, glue, and tape. Have no experience flying RC airplanes at all
Also, do you guys happen to meet up ever so often to fly together?
if you have no experience, better buy a ready built flyer. the logic being, you need to know how it all works before you can build one. same thing as building your own kite. you must first know how a proper kite flies.
Finally got the opportunity to do an fpv test flight outside, get a decent footage and learning how to do video overlay .
no fancy flying, just casually testing stuff. footage is from my 2nd batt pack flying this quad in full fpv. i probably need to use a different vtx channel. lots of static.
Some progress this month, i know my room was messy last time i showed but after some hardwork arranging things now my hobby models in the hangar is well arranged, spacious and extended to other room. Now became a great place to hangout with friends.

Last task is to make a rack to store all my mini/micro FPV racing drone collection.
bro, do u know how to build lithium battery? lithium battery need using charging board?

I see lots of trees for cool obstacle flight with your quad racer. I'm sure you can hone some speeding skill around the trees.

Yeah i build some using Li-0n 18560 size battery up to 3s configuration only. I'm not sure how you able to put a clump size of 16s..thats lots of soldering works. But for anything more than 1 piles of li-on it needs to have 'balancing charging plug' and 'normal charging (+/-) plug.

haha...that's the idea. did a few rounds around the trees, was really tempted to go through the bushes, but i don't want to crash it .
still need some tuning before doing flips and rolls. still at stock rc rate. the stock cleanflight pid was pretty good though. need more open space flight time before pumping up speed.

250 size quad still beefy enough to resist damages when crash, just make sure to restock extra props. I seldom tune my PID cos very lazy which is why much my flights are wobbled but good enough to have some fun. But i prefer 70~100 size quad since i could find more space to squeeze around public park.
Finally bought a Eachine VR D2 goggle. First FPV flight around house feel different, need to get used to. It stay just fine on my face and the footage from my KingKong Tiny7 is nice.
I bought the goggle for RM250 new sealed from some facebook page i found which is quite cheap and only takes 1 day to arrive since its just local postage.

wow, great price! very nice budget goggle, especially for micros. my fpv footage above was from the same goggle.

So how the procedure? I just ordered RC Car for Rm1.3k.. i need to take it at custom or anything like that?
Don't worry, if tax on your parcel is imposed they will hold it at the post office and custom officer will call you to pay the tax and pickup from there at the post office. If its no tax then the parcel will pass to postman and send off to your home.
