OPFTL RC Plane from Cheap RC Toy Parts FALSE START

OPFTL RC Plane from Cheap RC Toy Parts FALSE START. OLD PROJECTS FROM THE LOFT

The original purpose of this plane was to try and make a flying RC aeroplane using the components from a cheap RC toy car. That was a failure on 2 counts. First the range available with a cheap RC toy car system is a few metres at best so you have to chase after the aircraft to keep control. Second - the motors in those cheap RC toy cars are just not powerful enough to keep the plane in the air, the best I achieved was an extended glide. After I had given up on that idea I fitted a hobby grade receiver, a single servo to control the rudder, a brushed ESC, and the motor from a toy hovercraft which was just that bit more powerful than all the toy car motors I had tried. In that format we were actually able to see the aircraft was capable of flying and I put the project into storage. This week I got it back out again, duct taped a small 2S LiPo and matching ESC and took it out for a test flight. Unfortunately I decided to take another plane with me and chose to use a different transmitter so I could control them both and forgot this one needed the rudder control reversed - BAD MOVE.
