inverted flying Real Flight 7.5 tutorial #004!!!! (5 min 24 sec)

Ran the engine (new DLE35RA) for about a 1/2 tank of gas....using an 18/6 prop I was getting 1600 RPM at idle and 8350 wide open. Had to adjust the needle (low end) just a hair and she purrs....

Found out the replacement tires/wheels (Robart) were flat - too much weight on her I guess so they are being replaced by some Dubro 4" threaded.

Bob Zilla I am trying to get ahold of you I seen that you had a jet for sale here recently and I'm very interested in it and you took it down you can contact me at Lawless Customs 320 at gmail.com

Here's my "WIP" Intermediate free known sequence design. Plenty of sky underneath me at this stage - I'm reasonably happy with how it flows ... a lot of height loss though.

Russell Carrington 3dhs extra 103" with a gp 123!!! (10 min 23 sec)

Here are some shots of what I thought was enough clearance for the stock muffler, and some of the cowl after installing a smoke muffler.

I started flying with an aircore trainer with a fox 40. My brother n law started at the same time and had a telemaster 40 with a fox 40. Both ran great on the ground but mine would die every time after takeoff when I was around 15 foot in the air. Sure glad I had a rubber airplane his ran great but mine just wouldn't work. Everyone in the club tried to adjust it with no luck. The instructions even had steps about how to grind the needle valve for performance. How about that finally really learned to fly on a friends, Larry eagletons falcon 60, then a thunder tiger 20 size trainer with a Irvine engine that ran great.

I liked flying fast with quickie 500s, ultra sports and sig cobras. We had to build everything back then.

Moved more toward 3D after that. Giant aerobat kits were coming out. I went to joe nall and remember seeing the Carden bunch, mike sauls, blaine Austin, maybe wes Batson and 1 other doing the hover tail touch challenge. Blaine won and stripped out his tail servo lol. That was really something then.

Jets were starting to come out. I was at joe nall and fiberclassics was there showing off the entry level jet. A kangaroo and jetcat p80 combo.. Had to have one. Bought it and flew it at martinsburg wv. Went up to Lebanon pa to the jet rally and the Georgia jets guys and bob Klenke signed me off. WooHoo!

It's been 3D, jets, warbirds and helicopter since...

Received the smoke muffler and that required some additional material to be removed from the bottom of the cowl.

This a thread I'm starting about wheel pants. I'm starting this thread to hear a few other opinions about having or not having wheel pants on your rc plane. It seem there will always be a few people who will tell you that they nothing but a pain. I have had a few planes myself that gave me trouble at some point with them, other than that it seem a lot of planes look better if you can keep them on.

While waiting on a smoke muffler I have been playing with the flaps, mounting the cowl/spinner, etc.

If I wasn't 'waiting', this bird would be airborne by now!

This ARF has really impressed me! If I were in a hurry, this bird could be flying in much less than a week! But I'm taking my time....the parts fit, assembly is quick, instructions clear. What more could someone ask?

Enough room in that fuselage to built a boat! Therefore some smoke will be added to the project.

Flying the TwistedHobbys Crack Laser PRO at the first indoor fly-in of 2018!

Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser PRO Indoor (3 min 34 sec)

hello
In futaba for Mode 2 airplane version defined by a momentary or spring loaded switch the one located on top/left/ back side of the transmitter, as a confirmation you can watch you tube video Futaba 16 sza "timer set up" by Chip from team futaba where he select "SF" naming it as spring loaded switch but in the Manual it is described on page 16 as a momentary switch but is the same.
[Be careful, please do not ignore my advise ]
The one that I get from Tower for christmas have the momentary switch on the right.
I call Futaba services I they give me two choices:
1- Send it to change to left
2- Return it for exchange.
Note:
Please, review the latest software version as my came with version 3.0 and Futaba already release 3.2 in Dic 13

Hi folks,

I like to post detailed build threads here on FG. I also document builds and a lot of other stuff on my website.

Pay me a visit at www.grosbeakrc.ca.


Regards,

John.

I offer peel n stick vinyl graphics for any size model.


I specialize in Warbirds but can and do make graphics for all kinds of models.


Really quick replies.


Here's some of my work.

There are pictures some of my 3D "STL" models of warbirds details. Now I´m working on Spitfire parts.

Motor-Box construction:
1. 1st step is to identify all the parts needed and to draw out the lines on the firewall for the down thrust and the right thrust.

I will do 3 degrees of right thrust and one degree of down thrust.

Using the plans, I was able to identify the lines.

For Mustang and Spitfire pilots I make scale resin exhaust stacks. Merlin "Fishtail" are 1/5 and 1/4 scale. Merlin Round stubs are 1/4.6 and 1/5 scale.
The bigger Merlin round sets are available with fibreglass shourds. The shourds work with TF giant Mustangs, Ziroli´s, Carf and many similar Mustangs.

There are first JP Warbirds 3D printed radio block and batteries for 1/5 scale P-51.
