Does anyone have the list of apprx stall speeds of the Ft minis and park fliers?

Hello everyone! It's me, short_nathan. I made this account just so I could access Flite Test forum again because I lost my original account. Its been stuck in "confirm your account" for months now and I havent received any confirmation emails for it, not even in the spam page. I tried contacting Flite Test support but I never got a response (this is why I haven't said a thing in teh forum for a while even though Im very chatty, possibly too much). So do you guys know how to help[ me recover... Read more

Ok, I'm a new forum member but I've been using Foamboard for model airplanes for about a year now, though I originally started flying RC with my Dad in the late 80's early 90's, so I'm not exactly "new" to the hobby, though during my long hiatus a lot has changed with the cost and capability of RC equipment (for the better!) Anyways, I bought and flew a few FT designs before I decided I wanted to start designing my own stuff, figured I'd share here. A lot of them have flown, but not all of... Read more

Been busy lately starting a new job so my time has been limited lately, but this hobby has not been forgotten. Still with planes on the mind I have been inspired to try a B-25 "Mitchell". Historically this warbird/bomber was one of the most versatile planes of the Second World War on so many fronts. Most know them for the Doolittle Raid on Japan, the Pacific theatre, but they were also extensively used in Europe and North Africa. The crews heavily modified their own planes to... Read more

Started the next phase of the new plane. Any guesses ?

Can someone post what FT models are pre loaded in the FT CC2500? Tryingvto figure out if the Tudor with the Sport wing is there before I purchase. Kids have a Flysky and I think this would be a good upgrade for them learning.

Trying to figure out the endorsements to take my commercial written. I am an ASEL pilot and have taken my CAX written and scored a 98 on it but now am thinking I want to do my commercial glider as my initial commercial cert, I like the focus on stick and rudder skills and energy management. I used Gold Seal for my commercial prep and the endorsement is specifically for the Commercial Airplane written. Do I need to take a specific glider commercial course for the ground portion? I’m not... Read more

Which gives the longest runtime on a full charge? The radiomaster lipo or li-ion pack? The lipo has 1200 more MAH but the li-ion pack can safely run down to a lower voltage. Running in a TX15 if that matters

Looking to come back to RC flying after several unsuccessful attempts in my younger days. All those prior attempts have left me with various RC gear to potentially build from. Looking for advice on if it is worth cobbling together from my existing parts or starting fresh with an FT bundle for maximum success. I have a few FM controllers including a 4-ch hiitec plus handful of hs-55 servos, some other micro and standard servos. 2.4ghz radio from a Honeybee V2 helicopter. For motor/esc, I... Read more
