We took one of the flyers from the new FT STEM Project EZ Space Flight and went big. Wait, we didn’t go big, we went MONSTER! Join us on our journey of discovery as we take a small plane that takes 20 minutes to build (if you’re Josh Bixler) and scale up its size by SIX times to a plane that is 8ft (2.4m) long and takes three days to build. Perhaps our guess about the thrust-to-weight ratio was correct, and we chose the motors properly for a perfect maiden flight...or did we?!

What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

And to help launch it they should create a launching rail. Like a super easy one with 3 meters of extruded aluminum and then just use a cheap tripod at the front and maybe a cheap mini tripod with those flexible legs at the back just to keep it off the ground. think about it the tripod has the flexible top that would mount perfectly to the aluminum with a T nut and then you can use the adjustments on the tripod in the front to raise and lower the angle of the rail. 3D print out a few parts to roll along the rails like for 3D printers and things and then all you need is something to pull the sled with and rubber is the simple solution there! Hmm that makes me want to design this, I'll wright up a full design in another comment!

I would love to see an 8' Senior Telemaster foam-board set of plans! My dad had an original when I was a little kid, I had one when I was in my teens... It is an epic design. We flew them at night, towed gliders, dropped bombs & chutes! We even flew a 30 minute FREE FLIGHT with it. Several times we flew it by using nothing but the trim tabs. Super versatile plane. It had a flying stabilizer so it took off and landed like a B-52 with the nose down. I have a pile of 4'x8' foam board that I'd love to put into one of those but don't have a good way to design it with. My dad still flies daily and has the equipment for FPV flight - The perfect combo. SD

Hey guys! This was an interesting build. It could benefit with Fleshing it out with paint and graphics and a set of lights for night flights. I think you could reinforce the hoop with a carbon rod on the leading edge so it would be more durable, it may be possible to then installing some landing gear. Foam spheres could potentially make functional landing gear and could be incorporated into the design as special features, unless they create too much drag. Anyway, there are a few ideas I just thought of off the top of my head. Thank you for posting this video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! 🙂

@kevinnelson4359 3 жыл бұрын

Watching that it occurred to me that you could use a fiberglass rod to reinforce the leading edge of the hoop. Probably need two or three along with metal ferrules to join them. Then you would not have to worry about speed or wind collapsing the hoop and if you come in slow you could touch down without breaking the hoop. I would think 1/8" is strong enough for that. I love the excitement and the look of that. It should definitely be on the list of planes for your next fly-in. Keep up the great work, it makes sitting in front of the computer doing remote support go a lot faster.
