it had IT'S MAIDEN TODAY , it took off really well into a massive headwind and flew very stable , needed no trim at all ,a good guess at CG me thinks . flew for 3 minutes and landed with 3.86v per ce...

well i fitted a 14x7 APC 3 BLADED PROP . As if you run the standard 14x8 4 blade prop you'll draw too much current on 5s . There is a 3 bladed HUB , in the KIT . I should of tried that but i fo...

^^^^^ yes thats right . the horizontal stabilizer was a bastard to fit , because it requires lots of epoxy , i did mine with 5 minute epoxy because of this i had a lot of blobbing , if i could do it ...

New plane . EDF 70 JET . DATA . 1.34KG - flying weight . BATT - 2600 MAH 4S 25C ESC - 45 AMP SERVOS- typical cheapies but mounted well, allowing plenty of throw , and a steerable servo fitt...

not a bad idea Gary , it's a MASTERSCREW 14x7 , by the way , the only reason i bought it from HK was the 13x8's were out of stock , and whats worse i just made another HK order , and what did i do , ...

here's the prop . gotta love the MX2 . this prop supplied about 5 seconds worth of low speed thrust in this config .

looking good . after the engine is mounted the rest is just setting up .

i just glued it on mate , full surface 5 min araldite and squeeze . i did drill 2 holes through it though and used blind nuts and screws as a 2nd measure . but really a good gluing wont come apart .

hey mate you fly that really well . , so much so that i must go and charge my batteries up and fly mine today . mine flies a lot faster than yours , i like your setup better , however the hotmelt glu...

HOLY MOLY !!! I WORK at hieghts and have to carry tools up to 30kgs like that up ladders also , although not to those extremes . how does one get over fear of those heights ? SIMPLE , you just...

awesome thanks mate , i often do the same here is one for the "c " rating of batteries http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/what_is_the_c_rate

looking forward to seeing these speed demons in the air , its even better that you have different setups in both to compare them , how exciting mate .

RIGHT O " i'm desperate for some feedback . HOW'D THE MAIDEN GO ?

nice one wayne . . it wont be slower with the 15x6 . but it will have about another kg of thrust :D

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR ON A WINNER THERE WAYNE . . well done . i have the week off and i'm looking forward to some flying .

nice one SMUZZ .

thanks for this thread guys . Jason thanks for the vids . i couldnt help myself to get on the sim and practice them LOL .

planning on flying today , wednesday . do you guys think the field will be dry enough ?

had a fantastic day . the strip is fine . a little wet towards the weeds , but the side nearest the pilot box is perfect . the only thing missing was the rest of you guys . It's marvelous when ...

ineresting . i would've went solid balsa wood and carved to suit . there must be a reason your building the cowel this way . ??? after a 2nd look i think i get it , no side clearance , so your bu...

hi . i have searched , HK , the servo i need is a HS 5085 , as it is a wing servo , it needs to be identicle to the other . i'm not sure swapping brands will measure up to identicle specs . cheers .
