RE: Habu 32 - dwils - 19-02-2012
Attempted grass strip taxi trials only to find problems with the size wheels new one ordered wheel wells
have to be for 60mm with that should be no more problems
RE: Habu 32 - Skidz - 19-02-2012
So when does the Habu get some distance under the wings and terra firma?
RE: Habu 32 - kizza42 - 19-02-2012
It did today, just not in the manner you would like or expect
If Darren agrees, I can show some footage of how you conduct taxi trials
Btw Dave, "Included in any required?"

So they were take off attempts right?
RE: Habu 32 - kizza42 - 20-02-2012
No,
If the plane by some chance bounced into the air then that would be an unfortunate side effect
RE: Habu 32 - secant0give - 21-02-2012
The grass on the strip looks pretty long It would probably have "taxied a lot easier" if it were shorter.
It's grown up a fair bit around the edges of the strip too since I last saw it.
I must say those retracts and struts seemed to hold up very well !! I'm sure it will be a beautie with the bigger wheels.

It Looks Like to me you need the nose wheel arm at the front to be a lot longer to lift the nose up.
Aka My Stryker with Retracts sucked to the ground at Area 51 as i had mine level with rear, as Kieran Pointed out.
Looks Great moving along the grass, So How much Throttle was That Darren.

RE: Habu 32 - kizza42 - 21-02-2012
It was full throttle but the wheels are only 30mm jobs. It already had a nose up attitude but there was just waaay too much drag. The e-Flite nose retract stripped out after the 4th attempt and we had to resort to using a cable tie to keep it in position.
The thing has a 1:1 thrust ratio and when its on a smooth surface it really really moves! It will be amazing at Temora on a real runway but until then we're waiting for hi-model to send some larger wheels.
