RCPowers! Shout out to RCPowers for single-handedly getting me back into RC flying after a 14 year hiatus. By showing me what modern brushless motors, lipos and depron foam could do, I was back in 100% and haven’t stopped since. They really shed light on the lowered point of entry into designing rc planes and inspired many a one-off scratch build for me. Gone were the days of spending 200 hours sanding balsa just to have a damn tip-over that sends you back to the building bench, and breaking in and tuning engines all day while a propellor spins at 10k RPM 1/4” from your radial artery instead of flying. I wonder what they’re up to these days.

Now that the gear is broken semi permanently, why not try one wheel, centerline like the old penguin trainers that were not meant to leave the ground. I think that could be a valuable training device for the new RC pilot.

a better way to launch a rocket glider is to launch it just like a model rocket, using a guide rod and a couple of guide tubes glued on the fuselage, guide rod set at 45 degree angle. I've done it before, the plane will stay straight during the rocket thrusting stage. 👍

As someone who flies rocket powered sailplanes, I have 3 thoughts: 1. Yall are nuts and I love it. 2. You need a real electric airstart with a safety interlock. 3. Sierrafox Hobbies has TSP L series rocket motors. You need to buy some. 20 seconds of fire is more fun than 2 seconds of fire.

Friend and I tried this as kids with one of those 5 foot wingspan styrofoam gliders. Used a launch ramp kind of thing. Reinforced the wings and heat shielded the tail. The rocket motor detached before the plane got off the ramp and flew up like it was a rocket. The tail of the plane melted. Total failure but was damn fun!

I grew up in NH and flew at the Concord Skyhawks field often. In fact, I had my first and so far only mid-air collision there with my father. He was in a Hobby Lobby .40 trainer (the name slips me), and I was flying my Hobby Shack Right Flyer 40T (which was in the same exact scheme as the Hobbico Flight Star 40 scheme). My father ended up the Victor, his engine went through my fuse just behind the wing. Back then, we flew south of where you do now at that sod farm, but I went down in the woods across from you. My father went down in a flat spin on the field. It took two visits to recover the parts, and I remember the firewall forward was in a puddle! It's been fun watching you go from Western Washington where I was stationed (NAS Whidbey Island) on the local aviators pages out there to your success with RC, and of all places, near where I grew up for over 20 years in New Hampshire, and you visit old stomping grounds. I appreciate your content, Zach! It's a shame we never met in Washington, but I also was one of the guys to shove blowflies into the FATPNW bs. That's a whole other story, and why there are Facebook groups all about using the FATPNW letters that aren't exactly groups.

A good mod to stop the gear on the turbo timber from breaking, remove the wire stops in the springs. It works. I broke the gear 3 times the first 4 months of flying it. Not once in the 3 years since I removed the wire stoppers. I've also never broke any props like many people claimed removing the stoppers would do. You guys keep having fun.😎

I am reminded of when I was a youngster, and we would buy the little balsa gliders. After a week or two of flying them and getting bored we would attach bottle rockets to them. Squirrely as all get out, then they would blow up. Best couple of dollars ever spent.

@beanboy6934

you should use a less powerful rocket with a longer burn time so that instead of getting 5 seconds of spins and loops you get 10 seconds of steady climbing. angling the rocket could also help prevent it from pitching up uncontrollably, or you could mount it inside the glider in line with the wing to eliminate all adverse forces and just get pure acceleration.

It’s difficult for sure. The Z Cam (atleast with my set up) only allows for manual focus which with fast moving objects like RC planes makes for a difficult task keeping it in focus. Generally speaking though, Sony cameras and lenses have the best autofocus around. What’s even better than that? A Sony camcorder. Before switching to the iPhone/z cam combo I used a Sony AX53 which worked great. I just wanted a little more quality out of it. - Ben
