Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
Nice job.. Those flying wires you made look good. I don't care to hook anything to the gear though. An off field landing could tear the gear out would probably take half of the wing with those wires on it.

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
Looking good.
Would be nice if Li sent mine. He said it would be sent in a week, 9 weeks later I got no plane and no answer to my email. |

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
I would recommend beefing up the landing gear area before you fly...

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
What's up with the gear? Seems to be on the beefy side if you ask me.
Do tell |

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
The stock gear is STIFF!!! Almost zero flex. I switched to the gear that AbellRC makes. It is shorter and has some shock absorbing ability. The tail wheel is too weak.

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
Not the actual gear, sorry, the gear plate is weak and due to the stiffness of the actual gear legs it ransfers everything into the plate and crack....

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
Well that just sucks. I have mine just about ready to go.
I'm wondering if anyone has flown without the flying wires yet. I might just have to try it asnd see. |

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
DON"T DO IT>>>>>
They tried on this plane at Knox Hobbies and it did not go well. The consensus is that it needs the wires.
