Airplane thread

Don't most gas-powered RC planes use Glowplug engines? Why not just use that?

I was not aware of that prior, thank you.
my idea was to try to build an engine of some variety but in all honesty that would be very unlikely as I don't posses the skills needed to do so. just seemed like a neat idea to me to build a super powerful RC plane that could go far, fast, and high

Tbf I've learnt things in one night before

If you want to break 300 mph then use turbojet. Otherwise go electric.

what the fuck man do some research before coming here asking stupid stupid shit

They make model jet engines. Not sure why he asked about a steam engine or a turbine engine (which I can only guess he was referring to a gas turbine engine where the output thrust is not coming from a jet exhaust but instead from an output shaft being driven by the turbine rotors)
The dude is obviously retarded at this subject (he didn't even know what a glowplug engine was) but EVERYONE was at his level at one point in their lives, even me. If he didn't ask these questions he wouldn't learn. No such thing as stupid questions

my goal was to break 100mph but i've never had a model plane before so its hard for me to picture/perceive it.

its like you never played pic related

I thought they were called turbo props but I guess its the same thing
also do you happen to be a fingerbox enthusiast?

Yeah I have a couple, why do you ask?

well you seemed to be a pretty knowledgeable guy so I figured i'd bring it up, I built a model fingerbox recently and I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to improve it.

i've been making r/c planes and drones for a while now, and i have my pilots license. You can break 100mph for under 150$ with a plane made out of cardboard, with a fairly standard electric engine and lipo battery.

But you're never gonna get there because you're already too fucking retarded to use google. No way you could understand the mechanics behind flight.
