RE: Wood or Nylon props?!
Hi Cheese, how do you like the VQ 109E?
I have one almost done. Really surprised me, I bought it out of curiousity.
No bad, seems well made and strong. Went together easily. Pilot figure is a little "cheesy" but.....
** Be very careful what you use to clean it with. Any type of solvent, gas or thinner will remove the colouring.
Its dull white finish under the paint job. Windex seems to be ok, just don't rub it very hard in same spot.
Haven't flown it yet, but should fly nice and easy, good amount of dihedral & larger than scale wing, almost rectangular
not tappering in toward tips.
Nose is long, cg balance is easy.
Just barely over 6 lbs.
It is listed as semi-scale.
If your true scale, you'll find issues, but its a fair representation and looks nice.
Bf-109E, ME-109E lmao all depends where you read about it but thats a whole other subject.
Goggle ME-109 and the 1st two hits contradict each other.....
Running a 46 w/ MAS 10x7- 3 blade,
Shaved a little off the spinner tip, give it a little more true look.
Retracts are not scale for sure, but should make ground handling a little easier. 90 degree. wider stance.
It was/is a notorious bad girl on the ground, landing & take offs.
Full length ailerons and no flaps, but bang for buck, I think its ok & VQ is very nice to deal with.
