This is the only plane that I have sold and I have to admit that it was a bit of a hasty decision. I miss it most when I go into my hanger and it isn't there anymore.....sniff.

This is my favorite footage of my flying this plane: http://youtu.be/d7-GdeuB5LQ

mad web tv scientist

GBLynden, I can understand how you must feel about your Albatros. I really do enjoy mine. HH really does a nice job with scale details on it's fighters. My new little PZ P-40 looks so good that I prefer looking at it rather than flying it, for example. Not so with the big beautiful Albatros. It has to fly! I would have responded earlier but every time I clicked on your URL I got the message included below. The same message pops up when I click on the URL on the Messerschmitt thread as well. In my mind that is just a little bit too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence, especially when all of the other "coincidences" are added in.

There are powerful forces against modeling becoming too culturally relevant, it seems. So, hang in there. Cultural progress can take a lot of time. In the meantime I shall continue to imagine myself in a life or death air combat struggle against evil anti-progress forces while continuing to provide free advertising for fighter planes and revolutionary energy technology.

Finally got to see most of your video. PC is still behaving very badly. Still can't get the Messerschmitt video URL to work. Some fine day everything will surely work correctly. Keep a stiff upper lip.

A friend and I got out our WWI warbirds a couple of weeks ago and did some great combat flying. Me and my Albatross and he and his Fokker DIII. Very awesome. I just bought the PZ SE5a and will maiden her this weekend.

GBLynden

You are awesome Chuck!!! lol

GBLynden

Thanks, I will give it another try with the Messerschmitt: http://youtu.be/_AaXcqtesu4

mad web tv scientist

Thought it might be nice to take a break from web combat and share the only picture of my Albatros taken along with all of my newest fighters shown with my old Spit and "America's Ace" that hold special interest. Yes Chuck is a fun guy and obviously a good pilot. The SE5 is a better flying plane than the stock Albatros. I installed a .25 size motor and now think it will easily compete with my SE5. There is a UM P-40 beside my "Spitfire Brotherhood" cap on the top left hand side of the entertainment center. I will try to squeeze in a close up picture here.

Breaking off now to return to the aerodrome.

Salute (no radio available during WWI).

It's about time for the enemy to surrender, don't you think? Check this out:

Our beloved Spitfires may be in the process of great things FAR above and beyond anything any of us could possibly imagine! Please let me put a little plug in here before proceeding. How about insisting that the very first special sound effects equipped commercially available RTF airplane MUST be a beautiful Spitfire! YES, I would buy it/them regardless of scale size (within reason, 90% would be a bit too large for me at the moment).

The following URL brings up a half century of modeling/science related pictures that feature a Spitfire in a very prominent position as it should be. I was not involved in arranging the pictures. Spitfires are far more than mere machines!

Enjoy and DREAM! That's an order airmen!

In all the excitement of winning WW II and, of course, our current culture war, our dandy Albatros sorta got bypassed. It has been fine tuned and ready to scramble for nearly a year. So, finally, it was brought out with the Butcher Bird and with it's composite material reinforced APC 12X8 SF prop She put up a very satisfying aerobatic show. Extra structural reinforcement helped hold everything together in spite of my "flip over landing." Interestingly, the 190 landed very nicely under the same conditions.

One very important lesson was learned. Using leather spacers along with steel prop washers can require some extra tightening. After the "landing" (?) I noticed that the prop and spinner had moved forward significantly on the shaft. After removing the prop adapter all metal to metal contact areas were cleaned with rubbing alcohol and reinstalled.

Must prepare for the next dawn patrol now.

Salute! (Can't fantasize like with radio equipped WW II fighters, so a respectful salute will have to do.)

It sure is a great plane!

Mad Web are you still involved with this thread? I got an Alby on clearance last spring and must admit that I have not yet found the love with this plane. I've tried props out the wazoo and swapped in a firepower 10 from Headsup, put in a Guardian and then took it all back out to stock again. I have cut out most of the steel from the LG and subbed in carbon fiber tube and drilled lightening holes in the back of the wheels and at this point I was considering cutting apart the body to grind out foam and replacing all the struts with 1/16 ply, but have been hesitating...
It just seems cumbersome and clumsy in the air but all of my other bipes are in the 20oz range, maybe it's b/c it's underpowered. I'm usually over on rcgroups and there is nothing there in the thread abt motor upgrades.
So I gathered that the .15 didn't really help that much, now that you've changed it out do you have any idea about amps and oz.s of thrust you're now running.
Thanx,
Dave

Yes Sir Dave. It's true that WWII fighters are taking up all of my time at the moment but I still have a soft spot in my heart for WWI flying machines and plan to enjoy flying them at some point in the future. In the meantime I enjoy looking at them as historic pieces of flying art and great attention getting teaching aids as I continue to press on to victory in the culture war.

The motor (EFLM4025A POWER 25 BL OUTRUNNER) that works very well in two of my three Messerschmitts (almost the same dimensions as the Messerschmitt motor) is what I am enjoying on the Albatross. Turns out that I am actually using a carbon fiber tow material reinforced center section APC 12X6 SF prop very successfully at the moment and plan to try a 12X8 if I ever fly it at over a mile high altitude. With a good high "C" battery here at around 1,000 feet density altitude the ship will pull straight up at approximately 30 amps. The added 40 Amp ESC allows 40 amps full throttle power for nice vertical maneuvering performance. If/when I move into a larger house I may buy a plug and play version of our beloved Albatross, reinforce the structure, and add an AS3X Receiver to make myself look like a good pilot especially on landings.

So, please let me know how your Albatross mission into the wild blue yonder turns out.

SALUTE!

Mad Web, I'm sorry if you didn't know it, the PZ Alby is dead and gone, the only way to even get parts now is by luck or from another owner. If I'm correct it was out only a year before they pulled the plug. That's been the main reason I've been keeping hold of mine. I can see by what limited specs I can find that the Eflite 15 is just barely capable of 3D ing a plane of this weight and I don't know if you know of him or not but there is this fellow Z8RC who has written extensively about his Alby. He put a Rimfire 15 in his and was capable of 1:1 but only at 90% throttle and that's where he left it and moved on. This whole thing has piqued my interest b/c I have a 50 ounce 3D monster 48" EPP MXS by Skywing (another plane dead and gone in one year) and it is awesomely powered by a Sunnysky 3542 140g model# X2820 920kv running a 14x7 prop on 3S, 50amps 2.6kg thrust. This same motor on a 12x6 prop will make 2kg thrust at 34 amps according to static tests. I have seriously never had this plane past 1/2 throttle going straight up.

This is where I get a screwed up... the Eflite 15 is the same weight and supposedly capable of 575 watts yet E says only 1.1kg 3D and you confirm this motor is inadequate in your Alby, it just doesn't make sense. In fact the much heavier 25 at 190g is still only rated at 1.6kg for 3D and as you know it has what an 800 watt rating.

Even the Turnigy 108g NTM 3536 with a 11x6 has been tested by Experimental Airlines on Youtube doing 57 amps with a 2kg thrust.

I would think that 2kg thrust should send the Alby to the wild blue easily and it is a mystery to me why a quality built motor like the Eflite 15 is a let down.

My common sense tells me that the smaller Se5a runs nice on the 3536 PZ motor as well as my T28 so the larger and heavier Alby really should have the next class up , a 3542 (.10) for scale work and up from there for we who like power. But I balk at the necessity for such a large motor as a 25. Although I can understand why you went with it given the 3D rating.

I was tempted to try the Turnigy 3536 as it is a direct bolt in but the Sunny I already own, if I could tear myself away from the MXS and unbolt it to use it to experiment with.

I gotta stop now, I've given myself a headache

Thanks for letting me know the sad news about the demise of the Albatros. I will be sure to treat my dandy precious piece of historic flying art very carefully. Your post raised a question. A .25 size motor in my Albatros is producing roughly the same thrust or only slightly more than what I am enjoying with my slightly hopped up .15 size motors in the Dallas Doll, Butcher Bird, etc. that weigh about the same as the Albatros, and they fly a lot like it does. So, are you using .15 size motors configured in a stock or hopped up mode? I have had zero problems running the .15 motors for brief periods at current levels exceeding what I would feel comfortable with using the stock 30 Amp ESCs. My HH Hawker Hurricane .25 motor is set up with a three bladed prop pulling a maximum 60 Amps and so far not only enjoys great vertical performance but seems to hold together nicely. It's that "whiff of danger" that keeps me experimenting.


The important thing is to have fun but minimize headaches if at all possible.


SALUTE!

I don't really know anything about "hopping up" brushless motors. What I rely on are my pull scale and my wattmeter. I'll have to look up those planes as I am unfamiliar with them. You're saying it takes a .25 to push the biplane as hard as a .15 pushes a monoplane. I sure do wish there were some prop test info available for these Eflites.

longbikez

Just for giggles and I hope you don't mind this dialog, I just find this all very fascinating, ie. the finding of the optimal power system for a given airframe. And though it does give me a headache, so does math of any type so I try anyway figuring it's good to try to think analytically.
Here is an interesting plane that I was looking at for a while until I learned that it has so much in common with the Alby that it really wouldn't be much of an adventure to add it to my hangar.
The Dynam Peaks. This plane is just about the same size and weight and is a capable aerobat that will do mild 3D.
Wingspan: 1067mm (42in)
Overall Length: 1130mm (44.5in)
Wing Loading: 43g/dm2
Servo: 9g x 2pcs, 17g x 2pcs [Same in Dynam Pitts; 2 9g for aileron, 1 ea 17g for elevator & rudder.]
Speed Controller: Detrum 50A Brushless
Motor: Detrum BM3720A-KV650 Brushless Outrunner [60P-BM3720A-KV650 - $36.95] [Same in Dynam Pitts]
Prop: 13"x6" [60P-DYP-1019 $1.59]
Flying Weight: 1300g (45.9oz)
Recommended Skill Level: Intermediate/ Experienced Pilots
LiPos bought for: 4s 2200mAh 35c (x2) 1800 recommended for 3D Can handle up 2600mAh & CG ok.
> 1800 = 3-4 mins > 2200 = 6-7 mins

The main difference is that it runs on 4S with a lower kv motor, and it has a longer tail moment.
The motor BTW is a .10 but I'm guessing that running it on 4S makes it behave more like a .15, I'm still investigating that concept.
This plane is very popular and gets some great reviews esp. since it's a Dynam, I always thought their stuff was inferior compared to PZ.
Their QC IMO is certainly much worse.
Just something I've been tossing around wondering if a 4S could be made to fit the Alby, perhaps the lower amp draw of the higher voltage system could work. Maybe there is something to be learned from the copycats engineering department at Dynam.
I've never ventured into 4S until I bought a Dynam Seawind to play with in the snow months and I do have to admit that it is a blast, it also is a 44 oz. plane but it is a mono wing.
Really getting off topic here.

mad web tv scientist

Please accept my apology for not clearly defining the concept "hopped up" brushless motors. By using a larger prop and a higher Amp rated ESC than recommended more power can be enjoyed at least for a while. So far I haven't burned anything up possibly because I usually also add extra cooling air flow through the plane to deal with the extra heat generated above and beyond original design parameters. I hope this latest explanation makes everything clear as mud as my high school English teacher used to say. Please let me know if I need to try again. I promise to try really hard to not shoot myself down again.


Aim high, fly, fight, win!

PPS interesting post (#42). I have such a big investment in 3C batteries at the moment that I wouldn't be interested in anything different except for a big Spitfire that I will eventually commence building once it becomes obvious that Britain will be rising to the occasion of a new "FINEST HOUR" to save Western Civilization from the fascist tyranny that is committed to the destruction of everything we hold dear.

longbikez

Oh well there goes that theory.

There was a good thread not long ago discussing the effect of a spinner on thrust and power. The general conclusion was that from the standpoint of the prop, the spinner does nothing worth measuring even up to ridiculously large sizes (think WWI-era German engineering).

onward

longbikez

Do you know which 25 it is 1250 or 870kv?

mad web tv scientist

870kv

mad web tv scientist

870kv

longbikez

Mad Web, may I ask, How did you handle the prop adapter issue when you progressed to a motor with a larger shaft diameter? Fitting up the spinner has me buffaloed.
Thanks,
Dave

mad web tv scientist

Longbikez, sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Other somewhat troubling issues had me pinned down. I finally figured out how to activate the high tech receiver in my Butcher Bird that has been annoying me for some time now. I have also been engaged with hackers on both my Spitfire Mk II and P-51 Mustang GUNFIGHTER threads that now seem to have diminished their warfare against my work enough so I can focus on other objectives.

Okay, it turns out that in my old age I completely forgot that I had drilled out the prop adapter (blush) for a nice fit on the larger shaft. Thanks for your information about spinners. It's interesting to see the aerodynamic developments inherent in the Albatros. It will always be a favorite science/historic attention getting teaching aid for me. I'm still suffering from sadness from its demise which probably also helps explain my slow response to your issue. I promise to try to do better in the future.

Aim high, fly, fight, win!
