RE: How fast are you guys going ?

If you are doing high speed flying on a plane that's not designed for it, the input of the elevator will likely flex the stab so that it resists the deflection of the elevator. Using high rates puts...

RE: Retracts for Patriot

I thought that the steering linkage was way to long also. In fact, I have this thing about putting steering on the same servo as the rudder, as there is invariably a different amount of travel...

To boost or not to boost...

Note that I can only speak for Canadian rules, so the States or other countries may vary. The plane on my board is being fitted with a D engine mount - 20N total impulse, with the engine combo I'm...

RE: Patriot Pictures

Well, to get things going, here are some of my build pics. Hope to be covering in the next couple of weeks! Note that the ailerons have hinge sheeting as well as the 1/3 span flaps, 4-40 pushrods...

RE: New Patriot on the Build Board!!

Well, the thread may be stale, but it just so happens that I am currently in the process of installing the rocket mount (yes - I don't get a lot of time to build...). As best I can figure, the...

RE: Lanier Shrike 40

I started out with the Kadet LT-40. It's a great trainer - but definitely not a speedy airplane. By the same token, learning to fly a high performance plane is a really bad idea. In addition to...

RE: Retracts for Patriot

Interesting - I am unfamiliar with this manufacturer (Eurokit). Is there a website that shows the product line and is there a distributor in North America?

RE: Retracts for Patriot

The Robart Pneumatic retracts will also be really good - but I recomend using 3/16" struts if you want them to stay straight given the roughness of grass. The caveat of going with the larger legs is...

How much power does it take??

Hey there,

Has anyone clocked a Patriot at over 150mph? What kind of engine/prop/RPM does this take? I am thinking of putting a Jett FIRE 60 on the nose, and Dub Jett says it should handle a...

RE: Internal exhaust Ducting... ??

Thanks so far - this stuff really helps. Dub Jett has been telling me a few things about his engines - specifically the 60. It is possible I could go with a different engine. I have a little bit...

RE: High Performance Servos - 150mph+

The second gyro was to be intended for the ailerons - at the top end, it's not required. Take-offs and landings are another. The first is on the nose wheel for takeoffs. If the plane is solid...

RE: High Performance Servos - 150mph+

Razor - I am thinking about moving it, but depending on the air canister and dual gyros that will be in it I will have to play that one by ear. The linkage will be a cable anyway, so routing will be...

Internal exhaust Ducting... ??

FINALLY made it to the fuse portion of the build on my Patriot... Spent a LOT of time on the wings and tail feathers to ensure they were clean, strong and hinges set up perfectly... No I am at the...

RE: High Performance Servos - 150mph+

Interesting thought... I just looked up the Jett specs for the Jett FIRE - seems the 90 is quite a bit larger all around. Also quite a bit heavier. The interesting thing about the 60L is that it...

High Performance Servos - 150mph+

Hey Guys - Lookin' for some free advice here...

I have a Patriot on the board right now - building for all-out speed. It'll have a Jett FIRE .60 on the nose, robart air retracts, no scoops,...

RE: 2 aileron servos in a patriot

I have a Pat on the building board right now, and I am fitting a single servo in each wing as well as inboard flaps. Given the speed that this plane is capable of, a single standard servo with the...
