hi there i am raghul . iam trying to make a rc plane . i bought a a2212/13T 1000 kv motor ,30 amp esc and a wolfpack 3s 20c 1500mah lipo battery . can anybody suggest me which plane can be scratch built easily for beginners
motor weight - 50 grams
lipo battery - 120 grams
there are many plans available on the web , but i dont know which one to download
anticipating for the replies
Make a FT old fogey
Bro , you could make a good plane with that motor. But for the first time, in my experience you may make that plane unflyable or underpowered due to increase in weight. So, a more powerful motor is better. For a newbie, aiming for overpower than flight time helps. And for the plane , old fogey is good. But also try a flying wing. Flying wings are hard to control , but wings with large wingspan are as easy as a trainer. And its lighter and easier to make too.
In my opinion, overpowered plane in the hands of a first timer is a disaster. Futher, flying wings are good after you have some stick time. I strongly recommend going with a slow, rudder-elevator 3 channel plane.
That setup is fine. Use a 8x4
Can u suggest a flying wing plans on the web so that i can start building it or any other than FT OLD FOGEY
Why not an old fogey?
Make the FT simple cub then
How about a ft bloody wonder . Is that a trainer plane?
Not at all.
You'll crash it in the first 5 seconds.
You need a high wing 3 channel airplane with dihedral
Why not watch the FT beginner series?
I have another doubt . How you attach lipo to rc plane. I have seen on YouTube that many people use Velcro tape. It is not available at my place, is there any alternative idea for that?
Battery straps are available on many Online shops like rcmumbai and quadkopters etc.
Do u have any plans that is very simple to build. I just saw the ft cub plans. It is very complicated for me. Got any idea like a profile rc plane?
Cub is a very simple build.
Profile planes, in my opinion, are not so good for a beginner
If you want a simple to build plane then build the ft flyer but then your setup is overpowered for that. You could try building the mini avispad. It's supposed to be easy to build and is a good trainer plane. You can do a quick search on the rcindia and rcgroups forum for easy to build and fly rc planes. None of the models you have asked about are easy to fly or build. I've been through the same phase you're going through right now xD. Good ol' times.

You can easily find velcro tape at your local hardware shop/Tailoring shop/Shops that keep women products...its cheap also...yes but it won't be having self adhesive...you will have to use adhesive to stick it...Velcros available online may or may not have adhesive....if buying online go for the self adhesive one...

Check experimental airlines on youtube..
He has made a very easy plane called the axon.
Don't Make a flying wing... difficult for a beginner..
Make a 3 channel slow stick if needed....also make a pusher not a puller unless if course you have a lot of money and want to buy a lot of props....
P.s it's very easy to make an airplane fly ..some patience some correct knowledge....that's all..
All the best.
Welcome to the hobby
I had tried to build Axon from EA, but was not successful. I think the puller models if in ARF form are good for learning to fly, but you have to worry about thrust angle while scratchbuilding.
Then, I built mini Avispad and it was a success. Its easy to make and easy to fly. But yes, be prepared for buying more props and investing time on nose repairs.
Hi
Can any one tell me about hobby king. Can the products get shipped to india?
Yes they get shipped. Shipping charges are high sometimes..
A few days ago they had a free shipping thing above 50$ orders...
Check it might still be available..
But customs is another issue...
I guess shipping was free for min. order $150 from Hongkong warehouse....

You may go to local plywood store and look for wooden rounds or flats..
Can cycle spokes be used?
What do you want to use it for?
For strengthening fuselage of rc plane
Well, cycle spokes can strengthen too...
