Crashed my first 24" DS flying wing on its maiden, advice needed!

Hey everyone! I just built and crashed my first 24" DS flying wing.

Setup:

- Motor: 2212 1400Kv

- Prop: 8x4

- Battery: 2200mAh 3S

- ESC: 40A

What happened:

On launch, pulling up did basically nothing and it just glided straight down at ~55% throttle. I suspect it's a servo placement or control setup issue rather than a thrust/weight problem.

Any tips on what to check before rebuilding? Thanks!

I got tired of chat apps requiring phone numbers, so I built a browser-based P2P chat that leaves no trace on the server.

Hey guys, i wanted to share with y'all my new app. A p2p browser based chat. While the private rooms are strictly peer-to-peer, I also built a "Main Chat".
It's basically a global, anonymous lobby. It feels like the old IRC chatrooms from the 2000s you just jump in, see who is online, and start talking. The best part? The server auto-wipes all messages every 24 hours. No permanent logs, no accounts, just a temporary space to hang out and disappear.

Honestly, building pure P2P is great for privacy, but it's anti-social if you just want to lurk and meet new people without sharing a link. So I added a Main Chat. It's a server-backed lobby (Flask/SQLite polling) that just shows online users and lets you talk publicly. It bridges the gap between pure anonymity and actually having a community to talk to.

Messages auto-delete every 24 hours.

Will this 3S 2212 1400KV setup fly a 360g delta wing?

Hello guys, I'm new to the hobby and I just built this delta wing. It uses a 3S 2200mAh battery, a 2212 1400KV motor, and a 40A ESC. Do you think it will fly? The total weight with the battery is around 360g.

Thanks for any tips. I can also send a video of the thrust test, but it seems to have plenty of thrust.

Hi everyone, I’m Fili, I’m 14 and based in Italy. My goal is to become an airline pilot.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been researching the different paths (modular vs integrated ATPL) and trying to understand how the whole process works. Right now I’m mainly focused on choosing the right flight school. These are the options I’m considering:

  • WAPA (Wizz Air Cadet Program): I like the program, but my parents are not convinced because they are concerned about the working environment in low-cost airlines
  • Local aeroclub: I live near a well-known aeroclub (Varese Aeroclub). They have a partnership with Air Dolomiti that allows you to access their assessments after completing the 14 ATPL theory exams
  • EFA (European Flight Academy): This is my preferred option. I know the cost is high, but that’s not the main issue for me

I have a few questions:

  • I’ve read the information on the official websites and I understand that the selection process includes aptitude tests (logic, multitasking, etc.) and group exercises. However, it’s not clear what you are actually supposed to prepare for these tests. What should I focus on?
  • What should I start doing now to prepare in the long term? My goal is not to “overprepare”, but to build a good base so that when I eventually train for tests (for example FAST), I’m already in a stronger position
  • Is it normal to start thinking about this at my age, or am I overthinking compared to other applicants?

This is what I’m currently doing:

  • Watching content in English daily (I also sometimes catch myself thinking in English)
  • Training quick mental math and doing some cognitive exercises (pattern recognition, dual n-back, etc.)
  • Flying on MSFS with Airbus SOPs (A320/A350) and controlling as ATC (S3+) on a VATSIM-like network

I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have gone through these selections or are currently in training.

Thanks for your time!
