This is a companion topic for our recent blog post on blog.unmanned.tech
In our latest blog post, we delve into the delightful chaos of turning a £2 kiddie glider into an FPV plane, courtesy of Limon (or Ivan Efimov, if you’re feeling formal). With just 150 grams of weight and a top speed of 120 km/h, it’s both a project and a potential recipe for mayhem with all that glue and foam cutting involved. Who knew arts and crafts could lead to such exhilarating outcomes?
Building this little contraption is as much about creativity as it is about technical prowess, and Limon makes it clear there are no hard-and-fast rules—just a few suggestions on frames, motors, and the like. He opts for a neat 12-inch wingspan and encourages a bit of tinkering, because let’s face it, who really wants to follow directions anyway?
Once you’ve assembled your flying marvel, the next step is the Betaflight setup. Here, Limon provides a straightforward guide to flashing firmware and configuring settings, which might sound easier than explaining cricket to an American. But fear not; he assures us that with a bit of practice, even the most befuddled amongst us can master this—or at least get it off the ground without crashing into the local hedges.
So, if you fancy a bit of DIY shenanigans that combines thrills with the risk of glue-induced injuries, be sure to give it a whirl.
