Hi, everybody! Here also came true! I made the third flight! The first didn't manage to be photographed two on video. That I want to tell, the plane tremendous! I meanwhile fly highly, I am afraid below, for a motor cause of failure. The plane is quite obedient and predictable. Thanks to all who took part in discussion at a forum!

I finally glassed the wings today. Been flying in bare wood underside for a long time now.
But now its done. Monokote; The invention of the Devil himself.

Sparky, thanks for congratulations! Mpizpilot, I used the main ESM electric retrakta. There the same didn't do without problems. On the first landing, after a sharp turn one of drive axes broke. As in the retraktakt the inch carving is used, I had to make both details of an axis and a shaft, anew, with a metric carving. The main problem in axis thickness, it is equal 6 mm, after drilling of an opening, there are very thin walls of a detail and it breaks after side loading. You can look in pictures, the axis is allocated in red color. I made a detail with a diameter of 7 mm., I hope that it will well work. I ask to excuse for my English if something isn't clear, ask again!

Very frustrating. I am sure you've done this but if not, check your wheels to make sure they are toed out. I too had this problem and after toeing out the wheels about 2 to 5 degrees the the pin bending stopped. I land on concrete runway. had my fw190 since 2012. I also have williams bros wheels.

Hello friends, I end up using 3 pound weight, with a DEL61cc using electric Robarts. Is that sounds right to you??
What about the factory CG, it’s OK for flight or maybea nose heavy for start testing??
For the Robart electric mains retracts, the strutsneed to be file flat where the two clamping bolts in the retract adjust them?? Inorder to prevent the strut stars rotating??
Best regards
Erwin

I did not file the struts and have had no rotation issues. The cg is correct. These planes need about 2500 g total to set up correctly. They are more nose heavy wheels down that with wheels up.
happy landings!
