RE: GREAT PLANES FLATOUTS
I'm in the process of building my Red Bull Flatout. My first electric was an Alfa Corsair easy to build and fly. Saw some friends at the field having a blast with the 3D foamys I thought I'd get one. As stated 40$ isn't bad. Observations.
Yes totally different building from balsa glow planes.
Building without accelerator and will get some for the next ,but slowing me down helped a couple of times.
Using all recomended servos, Rimfire and lipo's agree the plane was designed with specific equipment in mind. Building it with alternative stuff is asking for trouble.
Getting use to the clips and the z bend connectors. Plan on using some silicone on the CF tube to lube it. My elevator is pretty free comparing it to my glow planes but not as free as mentioned above.
Yes I have a few shallow gaps where the lower fuse panel dosent quite hit the CF tube and am filling that in with CA. I blame myself rather than GP as I should have checked and sanded for a better fit.
Looking forward to a maiden later in the week and will post results.
