RE: I think I fried my servos!!! This is what I have hooked up...

Hi;

How did you connect the battery to the receiver - directly? Or did you go through an ESC with a BEC?

If you connected directly, I think yes, something may have burned up (did that...

RE: slow/park flyer question

Hi -

I have finally managed to get my RareBear slow enough that I can circle around up and down the street, but I have to say, it took me two years of practice in much larger areas, and with...

RE: tissue covering

Thank you - that's the Granville Bros. GeeBee "Z", a pylon racer from the 30's. This one is around a 16" span (I first built a 48").

Glad the tissue shrinks for you, albeit too much! I know...

RE: foam board question

I've done this a couple times now, and its much easier. Here's my latest process:

1. Soak in the tub or sink. Thirty minutes is plenty. Peel off the large pieces of paper. May be repeated...

RE: Scale strength? Also dowel construction of fuse?

I can also attest that the dowel-stringer construction produces a nice looking and strong aircraft (not sure you can even tell the difference under covering).

RE: tissue covering

Hando - I got pretty good results using tissue (nothing fancy, just the Hallmark stuff), lightly dampened, and applied to the airframe with Elmer's Gel glue. I hit it with an application of...

RE: Fighterbird problem (won't fly.)

Make sure the flight battery is fully charged - this sounds typical of a low battery.

RE: Second flight - worse than the first one! (GeeBee Z)

Tried the 4.25 on the Bee last evening. Actually got the plane to go up a bit! Still made a pretty short flight - either the ailerons are a little bound up from previously crashing, or the KP-00...

Second flight - worse than the first one! (GeeBee Z)

Took the GeeBee out for another flight yesterday morning in the driveway, this time with the cowl removed. It weighed a whopping six grams. I had to fasten the battery all the way forward to get...

Foam F4B-4 - I can't believe this stuff!

Foam is just incredible! My first scratch build was a conventional plane, 48" - that took almost a year to finish.

I made a smaller version of the same plane, stick and tissue, three month...

RE: From plans to kit, Who does this as a business?

Hi;

I thought Floto was just asking for a one-off laser cut kit, in which case I imagine you could contact any of these fellows (copied from the "Where to Find What you Want" at the top of the...

By the way - almost forgot. I may not get back to it for a while as I'm wholly absorbed into the next project. Here's a sneak peek:

RE: First flight - could have been worse!

Hi Tiberius - thanks for the tip; I was at HobbyTown last night, and picked up a 4x something (can't remember offhand - looked good at the time) but I think the 3x3 will work better. After reading...

RE: foam board question

I'm not so sure - the main problem I had with the bathtub was keeping the stuf submerged! It is, after all, foam. I'll bet you could just carefully lay the board flat on the surface of the water...

Dago - looking sharp already. I can't wait to see what comes next. Do keep us posted. I'm also working on a "top secret" project that will be showing soon, either here or in the Foamy section.

RE: foam board question

I had a chance to try the foamboard recently - yes, there is some work in getting the paper off, but I think the result will be worth it.

I soaked it in the tub, and pulled off most of the...

First flight - could have been worse!

Hi; Winds finally stilled for a bit this morning, so I hopped out to the driveway to give the GeeBee Z a test flight. The first couple of tosses were badly out of trim (nose-heavy, with...

RE: Air Hogs P-40 conversion

One of these days I'm going to get around to doing one of these conversions - your plane sounds like it will be right around the size and performance of my Rare Bear, which is a great plane, with...

RE: Hobby Lobby planes any good ?

Hi;

I've had plenty of good experiences with Hobby-Lobby; I particulary like their web page, as they have known working setups for the planes, and you don't have to do a lot of research if you...

RE: planking or sheeting?

Two thoughts here - I observed kind of the same think when I sheeted my wing. Instead of the bandages, which apply pressure over the entire area, use masking tape next time, and only hold down...

RE: Prop question

Hi Scott -

I wouldn't hesitate to use the MA 11x6 prop with that setup. I have noticed that the Graupner nylon props I use have a much wider blade area than their APC electric equivalents, and...
