Thanks Dave
You got it, I have one other person in line first. Should have a fully working set in a couple weeks, all you would have to do is glue canopy to the carbon frame and mount the rails. I have finally completed the CAM program to produce them. Will keep you posted.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Thanks

LtMash1A

Really nice. What paint did you use for the metal? Sorry, I don't know why this ends up here. I was replying to an earlier post.

LtMash1A

Nice, what paint for the metal part? Can't delete it.

LtMash1A

Where is the liquid metal paint abailable? Thanks, David

Hi Mike, did you ever dump the photos? I'm still very curious where/how you mounted your main batteries and the 3 pounds of tail weight, etc.

Are you going to make a winter project to bring the mustang back to life? You just can't leave that Kolm engine unemployed!

luckymacy

I'm pretty sure a high end car paint shop could hook you up.

Thanks, I had talked with Dr. Scoles about it and you would really need a paint booth and equipment to paint urethane . One person painted with Latex, metallic silver and I was wondering about the feasibility of using latex. I have done a lot of models using it with good results, but they were all built up components that were fiberglassed. Not a lot flex. I can paint in my garage using latex in any kind of weather. Klass Kote, I have to paint outside, so weather and drying times are a concern. Its great paint though.

This info below was posted literally just over 6 years ago in a prior post. It'd be awesome if builders could chime in with updates to it.

Not sure who took this one.

Rick F

Aerotech models is no longer selling planes. They closed there doors in 2008. If you are in need of props scale specialties web site sells prop blade kits for Aerotech planes & others.

Any one received a kit lately? How's the quality? Considering building one of these

LtMash1A

Yes, I have. I think the kit is night and day way better than the earlier ones I have read about on this thread. If you check the website you can see that all the new hinges preinstalled. Also there are no seams or join lines to repair. Everything straight. I would have loved to see them take it a step further and pre-installed all the hatches and servo mounts and done all the cut outs for it. At any rate I was very happy with it. And, Andy Kane my CARF rep. was very helpful with my questions and supplying parts to make the build easier when I get started this winter. Hope this helps. Dave

Plus 1, nice new light parts and clean seams

BoomerSooner

My Feedback: (80)

If one of y'all with a newer airframe have pics that would be great. Curious to see how they got by not having the seam to finish. Unless they are finishing them at the factory. My ultra flash had the seam cleaned up and painted from the factory. How's the fit of the wings and stabs on the new ones?

Greg Wright

My Feedback: (6)

Loads of pics from one i had 2 yrs ago. The seam is still in the fuselage as always but the parts fit is much better than the Fiberclassics one. The detail of the wrinkles in the skin was removed in the new mold so it took a lot of the character away from the plane.

Chris Nicastro

My Feedback: (3)

Hey Greg did you go with the suggested mini servos on the stabs or what did you use?

Greg Wright

My Feedback: (6)

Chris,
I don't remember what i used. I sold the plane to Dr Scoles a year or so ago.
I want to say i put some Spektrum 6150 HV's in the stabs. They were rated at 180oz of torque at 7.4 volts. If not then they were the 5060's rated at 118oz at 7.4 volt.
I would think that the latter would be plenty of torque for each elevator.

Chris Nicastro

My Feedback: (3)

Ok thanks.
I read the manual and just couldn't believe they suggest such small 75 oz servos. Plus we're installing a Kolm 150 so it's got to be tough.

Greg Wright

My Feedback: (6)

Chris,
The engine isn't the problem it's usually the guy at the controls. I would think the 75oz torque servos would be just fine.

LtMash1A

Hope this is not a double post. But, recommendations from the CARF rep. Ailerons and flaps: Spektrum 6270 or JR 8911. For elevators: JR 3421.

Chris Nicastro

My Feedback: (3)

The guys flying these big CARF models with Kolm 135 & 150 & and the 200 have been using 300-500oz servos Im told. The question Ive had is how they solved the elevator installation issue because these servos are wider than the stab chord thickness.
On our Mustang we are considering epoxying the stabs on the fuse because we have no need to remove them for travel. So an access hatch on the bottom and a single or dual servos is the basic plan right now. Similar to the other werbirds from CARF currently.
I'll probably end up designing something

Hello82

Hi

I hid both the elevator and rudder within fuse...tons of room....both servos accessed through tail wheel door and one hatch cover

and also just glued on stab for good

Greg Wright

My Feedback: (6)

Chris,
I just did a test with my FibreClassics mustang and it looks as if a JR 8911HV would just fit into the stab if it was done with a hatch to access the servo. Just like i did in the pictures above. They are a standard size servo with like 500oz of torque at 7.4 volts. I still don't think it's really needed though.

If you were going to pylon race the plane with the kolm engines then i could see it being needed but i don't think thats what you will be doing.

Chris Nicastro

My Feedback: (3)

Thanks M

No not racing it but mainly having the built in margin of safety because this plane will live on a grass field. I want tough servo transmissions on the larger control surfaces for extra strength and longevity.

Chief is gaving a servo sale on Hitec servos so we ordered the HS 7980 and 7950 servos for the wings. The higher torque servo for the flaps.

I did use one of the online servo calcs and for the flap area at 60-80 mph for example it spit out a 400 ounce estimate.
