We should also mention that after the 75 QHOR vid was taken, more tail weight was added. Now the flat spins are just like the little one, and it does great inverted flats. Also does real Blenders now. I'm hoping that with a lightweight 65LA I won't have to add any tail weight. We'll be sure to get some hovering formation vids once I get mine up and going. John will probably win the vertical drag race but I think the 65LA will rock anyway.

Listen to Ryan and John!

If you want to learn to hover, with no fear of crashing, get a QHOR or a PQHOR.

Here's my QHOR hovering with a bushing Norvel 25.

More info in the Fun Fly forum or the SPAD forum here on RCU, or go to www.spadworld.net and look in the SPAD Xtreme forum.

I've done a couple of these coroplast planes but with different plans than the ones you fly. Do you have plans, crude plans are fine, even written is good for me. Also what millimeter coroplast did you build wing with. The local sign shop carries coro but only 4 millimeter and that builds heavy.
Tim

the QHOR is 4MM, and it needs all that strength. There is a big QHOR thread in the SPAD section that includes plans. Don't worry about the weight; they feel heavy but have a lot of wing area and just float around at low speed.

Got my stuff in the mail today - woohoo! Hope to have my new 3D plane ready for this afternoon

Oh, your stuff came??? LETS FLY

Get off the computer and get it together!!!

Hi

Wgeffon can hover the crap out of this one:

Carl Goldberg Sukhoi 26
Engine: OS 1.60 FX
Prop: Zinger 18x10
Weight: She's fat, 10 lbs
Negatives: Control Surface Deflection
Abilities: in the right hands, this plane can do a lot, just not everything. I didn't build it, so it doesn't have the throws that Wayne needs to be able to do everything in his repitoire.

I can't do anything but fly it. Still learning 3-D, but promise to hover this one with pics when I learn how.

Just as my name says. I fly an Ohio Model Plane's profile Edge 540 with a Pico .45. I use a 12.25 X 3.75 and at 4 pounds 2 ounces I ca hover at about 1/4 throttle, YES, POINT TWO FIVE!

They have alot of videos on their site as well as pics and guys are using FP40's to hover this plane. 60 bucks for the kit and it builds fast and easy and everything except the two servos for the rudder and elevator is hidden. I did mine in 3 days and I build slow and heavy and still got it at 4 pounds, 2. It has the thickest airfoil I ever seen 3 1/2 inches thick and with a 46 wing span has right at 800 square inches. I wouldnt trade the plane only, after a roughed up landing, for a UCD with motor! 5 inches of aileron, 7 inches of rudder, and 4 inches of elevator at its thick spot.
Amazing plane, and even though I have never done it yet, they advertise climbing flat spins. I would say it is the best, easiest to fly plane I have ever flown!

Wanna do a vertical drag with my ST45 PBF?

i have a 1.80 saito on a cg Sukhoi.....i love it and it will hover great! If it starts falling just point it and throttled up a little and it recovers

Morris Hobbies Pen Knife, OS32SX, MA 10x4 = Hovering at 1/2 throttle.

I have found the perfect plane for 3d, and it's a great hovering plane too! Check out this link!!!

Twostroker,

The new YS 110 should make that cap 232 ballistic. It is a little pricey but is sure does perform. It has the same size case as the YS 91 but it is punched out to a 110. This would be my choice. On this cap 232 pay great attention to the weight. Dont over build. You will probably have to use spoileron to get a good stable harrier and elevator. Waterfalls would be easier using a mix that would deflect the ailerons the opposite of the elevator like flaps. Do not forget to set some expo on the tail surfaces to damping the response in the center. Also good high torque servos would be a plus too.

3D plane with an OS 65LA

Ryan and John,

My QHOR should be done tomorrow. I am sticking a 46FX in the small version..

Let us know!!

Hey guys,
I built a QHOR for myself, and Brother. We put a OS40LA on them and they hover at half throttle, what a blast. My brother hovered his on the first flight seconds after take-off. Neither of us have hovered before so we are stoked about this little plane and it's toughness. This will be the plane that I use to master hovering skills while I put my Cap232 together.
Tim

I am two hours into my QHOR and all I have left to do is bolt it all together.

Id have to see half throttle to believe a vertical hover with a LA40, bet it barely pulls true vertical from a hover...



Wayne! Sounds like your about ready to have fun!! I put a OS.40SF on my 30" one, its awesome! Killer vertical, lots of power over my previouse FP40 and LA46 power plants.

Hmmmm.. the plane only weighs 3lbs 6oz. The little 40 does a fine job pulling out vertical with a 10x5 prop. We built the 30" wing span, designed for a Norvell 25 or any hot 25.
Tim

Big Hmmm!! My FP40 wouldnt do it from a true vertical hover, so I put a LA.46 on it, it was a bit better, but still needed more..

Good luck!

Just shy of 4 hours to complete.
OS 46 FX

Will fly it tomorrow.

I absolutely loved not caring how it was looking or going together.

Wayne,
That is just beautiful, you even took the time to decorate it with the stars and all.
John,
I do not know what to say, ours hover vertical, and pull out just fine. To be honest, this was a post to say what worked for me, if you do not believe it, so be it.
Tim

Looks like your ready to have some fun Wayne! Its going to ROCK with that engine on it!

Tim, I just wanted to make sure that people know that the bushing engines are not going to make these planes be overpowered, the bunch of people that have seen mine are proof.

I am glad yours works! Its one of the few.

Good luck!

twostroker,
I believe you!

With a 10x4 or 11x4 prop, my 40FP would easily hover a 4 pound Stickit, but it didn't exactly rocket out of a hover. After installing a MCP the climb out was much better.

My nephew is flying his 25 size QHOR with an OS 40FP. It weighs about 3 pounds and with a MA 10x4, it easily climbs out of a hover.
