RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Awesome to see 5 Widows in one place. I was wondering whose pilots did you use?

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Since the beginning I've felt that I'd be putting the batteries up in the nose. My only concern, and I have to go over this with my electric guru, is will the battery be cooled in the nose. I...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

You probably know more than me about electrics. Dave has done all the work and I buy whatever he tells me to buy. I first thought one battery for each motor, but because of differences in cell...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

The motors are Mega Motors 41/30/15 brush-less outrunner (www.megamotorsusa.com). The props are Vario 381/12 scale optic blades with shaft collars and 48012 prop hubs. These props result in a 15" 4...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

One year later I get to start my Widow. I am doing electric power and it is kind expensive($1000). I think it will be a good investment as my flame outs and unequal thrusts will be diminished...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

I too am going electric with my 61. Due to slow income I'm way behind in getting my plane in the air. Patience is a virtue. I am working with Dave Roberts at EAM Hobbies (www.eam.net). He has...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

I'm still thinking electric power so I'm saving my pennies for the power-plants. Do you know who makes 4 bladed spinners? A scale spinner would be 2" in diameter (based on my 1/48th scale model).

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

16" props are right on scale. The real plane had 12' 4 bladed props.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Try this web site. There is stuff from the original pilots manual and photographs. There is also a flight training movie to watch. Of course all is for sale. I also have a book called P-61 Black...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

On posting 155 you mention two batteries and on a subsequent posting two switches and a voltmeter. I assume that they both are for the flight pack. How did you set that up? I have seen an auto...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Do you have a manufacturer and part number for these hinges? Not sure I've seen them before.

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

You're not the only one watching instead of building along with Samparfitt. My problem is finances instead of time. I am still looking into using electric power for this project, especially after...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

On the Pics of the VQ P-61 Forum someone there commented about figuring out how to open and close the gear doors. I wrote that on the Combat Models F-16 model they used string tied across the doors...

RE: VQ P-61 CONTRUCTION

Is that high of torque at 6 volt really necessary for this plane? My impression was that standard servos were all that was required. I was planning to use Futaba Standard BB (S3004 44 oz torque @...
