RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

OutaControl41,
Putting the battery against the firewall shouldn't cause any trouble. Mine has been there from day 1, and that was almost 2 years ago.My receiver is Futaba FASST 7 channel mounted on...

That DLE 55 is going to pull that puppy vertical for ever.. Glad to know someone else is on the heavy side.

To reduce some weight, I'm dropping the ignition battery system, and putting inan IBEC...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

I'm looking for an opinion on the acceptable weight of my plane. Of course, it's an RC Guys Decathalon.

It's got a ZDZ40 for power, I put in TME Smoke, and running with three batteries to run the...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Nice video.
I live about 24 miles away and would have attended today, but my Decathalon is down for repairs. The upper edge of my firewall has come loose from the frame and needs to be re-glued....

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

R/C Addition,
Glad to hear you are enjoying your SD. 

Your tail wheel springs should allow for sideway shock to be absorbed so that your wheel mounting does not get ripped off.  The wheel...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Take a warm sealing iron and go over the blue trim, it'll settle back down. The cover may not seem the best, but the airframe is solid. Can't tell you how many times mine has been banged around and...

Yes, the engine needs to be installed 1/2" lower than the manual shows.
I drilled and test mounted the engine only to find out that the manual was off. See photo, you'll notice the original hole...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

RCNutsToo;

The ZDZ40 gives plenty of power. I first used a 20x10 prop, but had trouble with landing speed not bleeding off fast enough - she's a floater. Plus, ground clearance was troublesome. I...

Your covering is Ultracote. Horizon Hobby has a good tutorial on how to apply and care for Ultracote.

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Bradleyban,

Benefit of a CG mount is when the fuel gets used up, the plane's CG does not change and continues to fly without adjustments.

Also, I use two 16oz tanks, smoke &amp; gas, I get about 10...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

As far as sealing the control surfaces, for the Decathalon I just do the bottoms, and then both sides of the rudder. Any thing to prevent air flowing through the hinge gap. For hard core 3d, I do...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Although I fly mine with a ZDZ40, my first flghts were also sluggish. I also have a smoke system on board.

One of my 3D friends said to seal the gap on all of the control surfaces. I had less...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

You might come up a little short on the servo extensions.

I used 24" extensions in the wings. They give extra length tohelpinside the cockpit when hooking up to the receiver extensions - which are...

One quick thought: Is the servo arm parallel with the rudder control arms? Also, is everything equal in measurement and installation on both sides of the servo arm and rudder connections? Is there...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Hi all,
I have an RCGuys SD, with a ZDZ40 motor.
It seems to require about 5 degrees of down elevator to fly level. The CG is currently about 3 1/4" inches from the leading edge.
Anyone know...
