hi to all

im working on my epsilon 90, the plane will be used only for pattern

do you tinhk Futaba 3010 all around will be ok ? im afraid to the elevator's servos may not be enough
thanks

these servos are more than enough. Normally the rudder needs to be stronger than anything else in pattern work. We have someone using this model in sportsman last year and it worked very well. Have fun and burn lots of fuel.

Hi,

.... using my Epsilon 90 for P-07 practise in the wintertime, with some old futaba 148 / 3001 servos ... more than enough ... buy some fuel instead and have fun .

great............I was sure about those servos, but extra opinions are always welcome!!!

in a few days I will start posting some pictures and info about the build process..........not the classic endless and sometimes boring step by step process, only the main points and changes i'll made

for example, im building a hatch to have an easier access to the fuel tank

see you soon

The fuel tank is easily accessible without a hatch on mine. I put a plastic foam block behind the tank to hold mine in place. That is a large tank area and my tank comes out easily if I need to get it out. I've seen Widebodys that hit hard on the nose and the nose area is weak on the Epsilon too. Wouldn't a hatch weaken that area even more? A build thread would be nice on this kit.

Wich tank size do you used for a P-07 or F-07 ?
I'm waiting for a EPSILON 90 ARF Special Edition and realy like to used it in free-style (of course) and F3A too.

Thanks

Special Edition??? I didn't know about that one. I think my tank is a 12 oz Dubro. It pulls right out. You will see when you get the fuselage together. There is lots of room.

I cut my ailerons and elevators short. They don't run to the tips. It is very very smooth like this. I like it far better than my Widebody. I've heard that other people do the same thing.

here you have the link to the special edition

ok, thanks. This is the RTF version then? It looks good. You will like it a lot.

flydynamics

Thanks BLW for your answer, I'll use the same tank like yours.

Yes, I'll have a lot of fun with, it ....

After real scale aerobatic, I'm coming back to F3A slowly ..... Waiting christmas for a é+é F3A plane

Hi all,

For 20 minutes, I'm now contempling my EPSILON 90 ARF SE, wonderfull plane, nice paint scheme, lovin it !!!....

Hello Marc

Have you some pictures of your Epsilon ?
Christmas gift will be a 2 m x2 m !
Are you choose the model ?

Whether is very nice, no wind and sun shines.
Patrouille de France is training for birthday of school in july.
And in la Baule is that good ?

Hi Claude,

Be in Paris for instructor qualification on twin turbo prop engine plane ...

very nice ....

This is a pics of the Epsilon Special Edition ... love the paint scheme ....

For the 2+2 F3A plane, still waiting ..... I've a INSIGHT modified, named INSIGHT evolution with electric engine AXI ... using it for artistic aerobatics ....
I like the last Osmose from CPLR ... but waiting for new planes in this year .....

Have a nice flights in RC ... going to a simulator in 1h !!.....

Marc

flydynamics

Like the GALAXY from CAMODEL ... really nice to make freestyle artistic aerobatics ... and probably nice in F3A too .....

The Epsilon 90 is a great plane. As far as the wheels... your best bet is to take the wheel pants to the hobby store and test fit them. They are very narrow, I had a hard time getting a good fit.

Thanks to you Gringo flyer

Hi,

Which glue do you use for the hinges on wing, elevator and rudder ?

blw

My Feedback: (3)

I used epoxy for medium Robart hinges. However, I was too careful with it and didn't use enough. I've had some hinges pull out. I used Gorilla glue for the first time to glue them back in, and that's what I'm using from now on. It is great stuff if you remember that it will expand. I had to shoot the glue into the hinges with a syringe as I couldn't pull them all out on a finished plane. The stuff is great. Even if it expands too much it won't glue the hinge part like epoxy will. You can either wipe it off, or peel it off if it has begun to dry.

flydynamics

Ok Thanks ....

In fact my father receive it and is ready to built it .....

Thanks daddy !!!

Can anyone recomend throws for each surface (high and low rates) in inches? My throw meter is in inches, not degrees (as the instructions provide).
Thanks
