Great! 👍Get a camera mounted on it! I imagine you can get long flight times, power up - glide down style. 👏👏👏👏👏
I have just started building this and I think my comments are that the design is clever but probably more related to 'we have a box of dimensions x*y*z, lets design a model to fit in it. Construction is more akin to a jigsaw puzzle than traditional building. The lazer cutting is very good, the quality of the wood fine, the instructions very poor, the plans poor and clearly there are some issues - rudder is too small, no tailplane struts, wing struts too long. Don't they do a test build/flight? At this scale the cockpit detail is important but absent (ok depends on what you are after) and the method of construction means if you want to add the detail the cockpit interior does not look right. Its my 2nd Chinese 'kit' and my first one a Tony Ray Minimoa 2, ended as scrap during the build. That's it for me and no more so called 'kits' from China . They are relatively expensive and its safer to get a lazer parts and plans from a well known name which for a similar price you get something larger/more in scale. At least with proper plans if you damage a part, you can re-cut based on the plans. Many people will disagree I am sure.
Just started building this, starting with the tail plane. I see it now on your video (did not notice it to start with) but building its apparent the drawings (at least for the tail plane) are not the same size as the parts. So, I am starting with the left hand side and 'letting' the parts then dictate the build....but using the tail plane rear spar as the set-out as this must be straight and square. Not a disaster but very annoying nonetheless.
This must be your longest build ??????
Sorry to hear of your friend's loss....On a happier note, how's the Miles Hawk Major coming along ?
the orange that is in fact yellow
Nice job in the wind !
Any update on the Miles build?
THANKS......................................BRAVO! BRAWO!
Been cartwheeled🤪
Great video!!!
I would love to convert my old MRC 765 to 2.4ghz but keep my long fishing pole telescoping antenna with my two color ribbon on it just for looks.
Waiting patiently for the next build episode, hope you are all ok?
It's going to look great, but, I always worry about storage (and transport) with the 'biggies'......
What hose do you have the vacuum connected to.? Is it return line
7 years later and this video is still helping a lot of pilots.. Thanks for everything mate. ✈️🇺🇸
mine coming
A little bit too much chitchat for me. Wish there was more actual building work, better organized.
Some has determined the factory CG spot is too far back.....I set mine at 290 mm.
Love you guys so much as a full six years as an apprentice as a mechanic you capt Rob and mad Colin this u tube video no American will understand 😂
Pine and plywood..?...It's supposed to be an Airplane, not a boat....😮😏😏😀🇬🇧
What a total prat
Au Au Au Au
I know that this video is 6 years old, but it is still the only decent covering tutorial on RUclips! I have been modelling and building since the mid 1990's but had a life break for around 15 years and have recently got back into the hobby. Some of my models suffered from the inevitable hanger rash in the mean time and I decided to recover my Ben Buckle Super 60 ch4. Since I haven't covered anything in around 20 years I had forgotten most of it! Your video has helped refresh my memory and has given me the confidence to "just get on with it"! Thanks for that and keep up the good work, this is an excellent instructional and great video work. Thank You, Aspie_Geek_UK
I MET HIM TODAY
Thanks .
No part 4 yet !!!
My kit has arrived! It is quite a bit different compared to yours. The engine is completely built from laser cut ply, the cowl is in clear celluloid/plastic and is only 1 1/4 inches deep the wheels are different and I will probably find more. Loved watching your build, keep up the good work!
Cuold I power this with a .30 fourstroke engine?
Another build series that will never get finished. They don't build in the summer busy with flying or other shite and don't build in the winter because of fuck knows.
Drugs.
Should've put the antennae in the middle where the original telescope antennae is.
Loking forward to the rest of the build, would love to see more build detail please
Good luck
Just wondering, do you use gyros?
Nice…and the camera views are the best!
Very good instructional video ….thank you.
Ripmax trainer 40 was my first RC plane 22 years ago powered by a 46LA😊
Well done
Very beautiful model!
In flight it looked frontheavy to me: the tail was hanging, meaning that the plane needed elevator up to counteract the nose heaviness.
and the silence resumes.
Great vid, I've watched a few of your other build/fly reviews, This is another DW flying brick, like the Storch. Maybe next time just cut the lower edge of the rudder to clear the elevator, less work and how scale can the plane look with a pair of servo's hanging out of it's ass.
Nice to see you again my friends after a long time!
Hi geeks I’m assembling a arf kit and just wondering wondering what would be best epoxy or wood glue for the stab to the fuse thanks if you can help
Hi Rob, What sort of wood is used in these kits? It looks like thin Birch ply but I'm guessing it isn't? Thanks.
What is that covering ya using, thanks ,nice job on wing
Make an extension for the battery cable so it reaches outside the plane to plug it in.
👍👍
👍👍
👍👍
How are you, brother? How long is the plane’s fuselage
