project "HIGH" roller

[firebird999]

figure it out for yourself (if you can understand the diagram...).



i need basically two xmods, so that means two controllers, eight AAAs and two 9vs. it's worth it, though.

[KITT222]

you're making an Xmod Plane?

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

I think you need another hobby. that was hilarious. Buy a rc plane. same price or less than 2 Xmods. LMAO.

heck yeah! it's never been done before, so why not?

[firebird999]

yeah, and you will. just as soon as my lds (local dollar store, lol) gets some styrofoam planes in stock. then i'll spend a few days building and maybe a week or so troubleshooting, and hopefully i'll have some videos. (i hope this will be eligible in the next comp!)

[KITT222]

you could make Air Force One from the movie Air Force One with Harrison Ford

Plausible. I think you need to study how a plane works. It more then two motors spinning. Scratch this idea. Its only a waste of your money, two good Xmods and all of our time.

Maybe you should be a comedian. LMAO

Who are you the one to judge another member because of his ideas. Lets see you come up with something that maybe has never been done before.

Go on firebird999, dont worry about them, there just jealous because they didnt come up with it first.

Maybe you should just let him try it. Nothing wrong with trial and error. Would you say fail to a hand built xmod boat?

[lol]

He's an inventor. Thomas Edison = Phail? Benjamin Franklin = Phail? Wright Brothers = Phail? They all fail, but they dont give up, if they just were discouraged by other people would we have Light Bulbs? Biofical Lenses? Airplanes? Think about it

sure. He should keep inventing. .......the airplane was already invented. We know what gives it lift. I wouldn't encouage a young man to. Waste what little $ he has on this.

[lol]

Enough with the flaming. Plz? K Thx. You will need to aquire a airplane big enough to fit everything together. You can build one from scratch but that would be hard

Yea thats what I was talking about. A big foam plane, just cut out the foam where your going to put the electronics(be sure to put the heat sink around the electronics, so the foam wont melt when the batteries and stuff get a lil' warm). I was looking, how big do you think the plane needs to be ??

[BulletsRain]

I tried something similar to this a while back, but it didn't work, but it was a lot simpler. I think this could work....and it sounds good. Are you going to use servos too control flaps, and rudders? Or is it just gonna do what ever?
Its a good idea.

Texan, did you make an Xmod boat? I would like to see it, I was thinking of doing something like that.

do you have any idea how heavy 8 aaa bats are. and 2 xmods are? and 2 xmod motors are? and you think thats all going to fly.

Xmod motors dont SPIN fast enough!

the plane will be TOO HEAVY!

its going to be a huge flop, and nose dive to the ground, resulting in a broken styrofoam plane.

I like the idea, but you need to go WAY more advanced that a little xmod.

You need light weight batterys, a small lithium with a charger. You need high power motors that spin like freaking crazy. the proper shapped propellers. super light weight electronics. and smaller ones than the xmod offers.

and after you get that, get it to hold a flight time, and fly straight with the motors propelling it, how do you think your going to go about turning it? or is it going to be a straight flying only plane?

im not trying to say dont do this, cool idea. but dont kill 2 perfect xmods for a Epic Failure. You need more high dollar parts and technology than cheap xmods offer.

plus i doubt a dollar store plane is strong enough to support this no matter what.

Why not go buy a air hogs? i think they sell for like 30 bucks now days, and they will be 10 times better than anyhting you can make. for less than half the price it would cost you to get anything half way functional

[xmodkidd33]

Good luck. Make sure you get the weight distribution right, if you don't it'll be a freak to control.

[65mustangrock]

yoou need BIG wings for all that weight so you can get plenty of lift. and if you going to put all the stuff on the wings wont that disrupt the air flow and give as much flight time as a rock? talk to donzii he knows a lot about about planes.

[suicide_star]

it looks like a fun endeavor, but one of the biggest parts of building a plane is to keep weight down, which means minimizing batteries, electronics, etc. that'll be awesome of you get it to work though. how are you going to work 2 controllers at one time? =P

[fieldfairy2]

I just micro t electronics, they are smaller and lighter, you could always wire 2 servos together for wings(lift them up or down, can't think of the name?)and use the micro motors for propellers, i'd suggest the bb1 or the bb2, they are faster and will last longer. The lipo battery is very light too.

[xmodzracer]

Give it a shot. Best case scenario, it works great, you prove us all wrong, and hummer can finally shut his speak hole. Worst case....just think big flames....
