Hello Mike,
Do you have a guesstimate of when you folks will have the Xcalibur plus in Irvine? I want to see and feel the quality before buying.

Has anyone heard if the customs hurdle has been cleared yet? I know the container was estimated to be in on the 18th of August. I have had mine ordered and paided for in full since Feb. so getting a little anxious about getting my hands on it finally.

Are you planning on using something different than the stock gear they offer for the plane? I can get you some measurements when I get it opened up and inspected.

The mains are 140mm axle to Yoke (but more trail than just about any other std leg) and nose 155mm yoke to axle.

Dave, I was looking at all the parts today since I just got the plane yesterday and looking in the nose wheel bay I do not see any guide tubes preinstalled for the steering cables like the pictures of your sport scheme Xcalibur+. Are they suppose to be installed at the factory or is that something you have to do yourself.

Went to our local grass field to test fly/set up a couple of members models. I took the plus for an outing as I haven't had the chance to fly it much recently. Such a versatile airframe, bit bigger than the F-16 I took too!

Dave Wilshere

There were there on mine. The small Xcalibur you had to drill holes. It does not need tubes, actually I think the steering wires clear away better with just slots!

Well, not impressed with something already. I only have 1 box with just the struts in it and no retracts or the second air tank. No where to be found in the box. So, looks like it won't get landing gear installed anytime soon. How does one overlook that. I waited 7 months to be shorted sort of a important part. That kind of sucks.

Should have been two boxes taped together. Guess when GJC packed the box they separated them!

Plenty of time Hinging surfaces...;-)

blainer48

My Feedback: (30)

Nope, just the one box with the struts, wheels, brakes, 1 air tank, valve, T's and some air line. The other box with the actual retracts is not in with everything else. This just makes worry if there is something else missing because there isn't a parts break down. I guess it'll be over a week now before I can install the gear. Plenty of time to hinge, install servos and everything else.

Jason

Dave Wilshere

The kit is one package. The gear another and the tank last. It will just be the units, tank and tube from memory.

So does the Plus use 2 separate tanks or just 1? Your picture early in the thread shows both boxes side by side. That is the picture I sent to GJC to show them an example of what I am missing. Just hate to start off a project with something missing. Thanks as usual Dave. You're feedback on stuff so far has been great and hope to be picking your brain some more once I start really going on this.

Dave, just sent you an email.

Two tanks. One either side of nose cowl. I have them linked as I have the Behotec dual use valve, One for each would be fine

Will answer email now

Here is mine that came in today...

So since the manual doesn't really show what bolts, screws or anything else is used for mounting things how exactly is the wing mounted. I am assuming you have to drill the wing tube and bolt from the top of the wing panels. I guess I thought the manual would be a tad more informative considering all the hardware is just lumped together. I haven't had a lot of time to really look at it since we've been busy with the long weekend but starting this week I have to get cracking on it. Just wondering what you guys have run into building so far.

Jason

Also, are they going to make a set of wing and boom bags for the + like the smaller xcalibur has?

Jason

No need to drill any holes to mount the wing. There's a nylon clamp installed in the wing panel that clamps around the end of the wing tube, all you have to do is insert a 4mm bolt in the hole in the top of the wing and tighten it. There's a lock nut installed in the clamp inside the wing, if you remove the aileron servo mount you'll see what I'm talking about.

Thanks, for the quick response Pondus.
