Rewinding a 2205 Brushless motor.

Hello everybody!
It’s three years since I’m in the RC hobby, and it was then that I got this kind of motor. It was intended for the well-known Cessna 150. Then it was incorporated into an overseas 4Q, then – into a Vzhik, and now it is installed in a Kesla. Although it has come through snow and water and gave a smoke, it was all right until a few days ago. It was down after I flew my KESL a few times. I guess that is due to winding damage or something like that. Well, that’s not important now.

The whole thing started on a cold and snowy evening. I was having fun after another busy workday at my PC browsing for all sorts of RC hobbyist goodies, as I was about to start building my new plane. When I was well into yet another attempt to comprehend the section describing telemetry equipment, the idea of building a FPV dawned upon me. After a brief consideration, I was fully determined to add my first FPV to my arsenal.

Now that I have crafted a dozen of ceiling tile models, it is about time for me to build a big chugger with a trail of smoke behind it! Without much hesitation I chose a legendary WWII vet – the Polikarpov Po-2. I wanted to be honest, so I decided to build it from wood and cover it with doped fabric and try not to overweight it. Also, I wanted to test my DIY CNC. I hammered at drafts a little, which I had fished out of the web (those were just common views from three angles) and started sawing.

Hello! My name is Denis, I’m 13 years old.

Today I will tell you about construction of the model of US fighter F-22, also known as the Raptor. I liked this model due to its appearance, simplicity of construction and low flight speed. After the analysis of drawings and specification I understood that I have all necessary electronics. Well, it’s time to start!

Now let me show you where my ideas about glider-lifting methods got me…

Hello everyone!

I'd like to share with you my experience of building La-7 fighter plane model. I used styrofoam because the time until the contest was short and there was no way I could make the dummy to build the model out of plastic bottles.
I'll keep it brief, if you have any questions, ask away in the comments below, I'll reply.

I haven't made any new models last winter. I mostly repaired and renewed the old stuff. I also had bad luck breaking one of my little model favorites - "orange" Yak-3. The fault was mine: I hurried and failed while configuring the remote control. Despite the confused controlling I managed to save the plane from a full-force nosedive, but the foam wing spar didn't survive such treatment...
Was there any sense repairing it? It would require a new wing though, besides the replacement traces would be noticable. And where there is a wing, there is everything else...
Such thoughts led me to make a relatively similar but new model.

Today I would like to tell you about a wonderful thing like the HeadTracker. Total value – about $17.

Hi there! Once I came across the model of a parasol two-sitter «Pete n Poke». It was made of balsa with glow-engine.

I was eager to make it myself but out of ceiling tiles. I decided to cover it with tracing paper on an aqua lacquer base and paint with acrylic spray to make the outline look nicer. It should be noted that I didn't plan to copy it. I simply wanted to make a nice retro model. The motor used was brushless TURNIGY NTM Prop Drive Series 28-36 1200 RPM.

Wing spread chosen was 1100 mm, fuselage length – 938 mm. I scaled it and changed the drawning due to the usage of ceiling tiles.
