VAS Ghost power build tutorial

A triple motor Ghost airplane has an incredible power to weight ratio and is a blast to fly. Having a second spar handy (fiberglass is fine) can help make the plane fly better as the strain of the 3:1 power to weight ratio can cause issues... especially when it crashes.

What most people will miss is, this video is not being fast forwarded, this is actually how quick Alex normally builds his models..... ;-)

Cool build, I’d really like to get into wings but I’d probably wreck it every time I tried to fly!!

@CAGreve1231 5 жыл бұрын

I wreck mine at least 3 times per battery pack ;)

Hey Alex, just got the kit and am wondering why you cut the spars instead of bending them along the length of the entire wing? It seems like it would be stronger this way. I know our group has a couple people building these planes and this was the one comment they made about it when they were building.

@devinviable 4 жыл бұрын

I agree, there's no good reason to cut the main spar in two if you can bend it, unless it might deform the wing while the glue is drying. I built this one according to instructions. With a little luck I won't need another.

@@devinviable I don't have one of these yet. Is the spar channel pre-cut? If not, cut the channel straight across and then don't cut the spar in half.

New to plane and wings. I see you mentioned it's a blue arrow servo but size is need for this craft?

@CAGreve1231 5 жыл бұрын

All you need is a very small servo for this. 3-5 gram servos are sufficient.

great video, were did you get the fancy glue gun ? keep on your GREAT work

@CAGreve1231 5 жыл бұрын

It is a SureBonder temperature controlled glue gun. I also use a better quality glue stick which makes all the difference in the World and the temperature control makes sure the glue bonds to the foam without melting it. I get my stuff from glu-stix.com, but there are several suppliers. The glue is called "dura-tac".

If the spars help the plane, why are they not included?

@CAGreve1231 5 жыл бұрын

ONe is included for the main wing. Extra spars are for added strength. This is a $45airplane, so it is meant to be cheap and easy.

@Sixx2099 5 жыл бұрын

@@CAGreve1231 Would one extra spar be much more expensive? Don't get me wrong i really like your stuff and it is great that the kit is cheap. I will probably buy it for the next season.

@Bushwackerinpa 5 жыл бұрын

you can order spars by bulk from Alofthobbies.

@CAGreve1231 5 жыл бұрын

Sixx2099 - $4 for the spar, then 20% mark up for vas to stock them and then a 40% mark-up from the vendor. This, the $45 airplane is now $55 for an extra spar that is not required.
