This shows how I built my scratch built rc Ultra Lite Slow Flyer airplane. It has a 47″ wingspan and is made from wood and 3/4″ pink foam insulation sheet. I contoured the wings with a hot wire cutter that I made out of a guitar string and car battery charger. I used the gearbox from an older plane, got a 3 channel radio on ebay for and cheap mini servos from hong kong for .00 a piece and they work great! The plane flies beautifully. Look for part 2 for flying and onboard footage of this plane. ALL music is from www.freeplaymusic.com.

The cutting blade is from an old fashioned scissor action push mower. It has been fitted with a chain driven electric motor and sprocket. The radio and receiver are torn from a small, cheap RC car from walmart and beefed up with Darlington transistors and 30A automotive relays. The rear wheels are separately powered by two electric motors geared down 20:1 to produce enough torque to climb a tree. The vehicle tips the scale at 100 lbs. Power is not an issue, traction is! Two 12v 17ah lead acid gel cells in series power this vehicle for well over an hour even with tall grass! I would love to adapt this thing to read and follow a GPS or a sensor array in the ground.

@spear913 in a good way or bad way that the liltel cessna slys?
@Aircraftfreak155 You’re right, but I have never flown an ember. I have the little cessna that’s the size of the ember, but that flies like nothing else I own.
show your hot wire cutter
looks like an over sized ember dose it fly like one?
@dollylu1 A prop that big would probably overheat the motor. It would try to turn it way too fast
do you think a 2200 kv brushless motor work on this type of plane
???
dude why didnt u get 10 mins!
@ashishknight Thanks!!!
awesome job
lolz the sun have like a black hole in it !!! WTF??
@valveone1 It’s an SDM radio and it came with the wildhawk
@valveone1 The outrunner mtr is a 1050 kv. For slow flyers with big props, you want a slower motor. Don’t get a 2 or 4 thousand kv motor
what type of remote control is that or does it come with the wild hawk 3 channel receiver
do you know the name of the remote control
do you know how big the motor is or its specs
thanks for the help
@valveone1 The motor came from an old Megatech Capitol Flyer. The battery is a standard nimh 8.4 pack you can get on ebay. I since upgraded to a brushless outrunner and 11.1 v 2200 mah lipo battery. I recommend these. The brushless motors are amazing in power and efficiency. You can get it all on ebay.
were did you get the battery and motor i think you said it in the video but i cant find that part?? and what type of battery and motor
@valveone1 It’s the camera. These cheap digital camcorders do that for some reason
why is the sun a black dot ??? is it the camera or is it just me???
how you make the back wings move
how much did it cost (all the plane) ?
My kind of model – thank you
)
the only problem is the remote control ???? how did it turned homemade ???
i dont get science stuff
Nice flyer. I am on my 5th or 6th plane now after starting this hobby 3 weeks ago and becoming obsessed. lol.
My friend and I would like to build one, both for fun and to learn a little bit about electronics. Can you tell me how powerful of an electric motor you used? Or even where you got it? Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks!
I would so use this, I would find lawns to mow while having fun and even make a few youtube videos.
you should make a Battle-Bot.
thats cool!
Whats peoples issue with this? i think this is a really cool idea.
The perfect Father’s Day present.
lazy smart and bored as fuk redneck!!!!!

@SaiE8 . its also a way to get your neighbors son’s leg off when you leave your kids alone to do it
you really used a walmart rc for the reciever and radio, what about the esc arent the reciever and esc one chip on walmart rcs?
@harshp99 Shortcuts > taking the longer way? Crazy mexicans.
Feature requests:
Make the blades bigger. This one in the video I bet takes forever to mow the yard.
Disable blade if it hits a predefined resistance
weed eating side extension (just like the roomba vacs)
Grass catch bag
programmable pattern repeat instead of manually having to control it with the remote. I’d rather just turn it on and forget about it.
Anti theft device with key chain remote
megaphone
noice!
any plans or how to video?
GAY

if your having problems with the traction why not use a belt like a tank instead of wheels???
who the fuck buys this? whats wrong with you? fuck you.
Ahhh ha ha ha! sweet! I sure hope you got a fail safe in that beast! lol
haahhahahaah sweet
dude its a gay ass Mo-ped
ya it’s called duct taping an electric weedwacker with an adjustable head to an RC monster truck and zip tying the trigger….. i tryed it. it worked ALOT better than that piece-o-crap!!!!!
Im lazy! sign me up
not funny………
