Lighter RC Moth Biplane - Big Improvement or Not?
In this video, I put my updated Moth biplane to the test to see if the changes actually improve how it flies. After refining the design to make it lighter and closer to the look of full-scale vintage biplanes, I compare the new version directly against the original build. But the big question is — does it really fly better? I run through the key changes, including weight reduction and structural tweaks, then take it out for flight testing to see how it performs in the air. ✈️ In this video: What’s changed in the updated design Weight and structural improvements Real-world flight performance If you're into RC planes, lightweight 3D printing, or vintage aircraft builds, this one’s for you. #RCPlane #Biplane #3DPrinting #ModelAircraft #rcflying Links: Ghost Moth Video: • Ghost Moth RC Bi-Plane, Build and Test Fli...
