Anybody see or hear anything on release dates yet?My field is almost clear of snow and Im wondering if its out /when it might be out?..SteveD

Guys,

We just finalized the final sample and we should be ready to ship by the end of April.

Are the wings open bay construction, or are they fully sheeted?

Fully sheeted, built-up construction.

I wonder if somebody will come out with a scale oleo front gear for it...I hope so..SteveD

Does any one know what the cowl width is. Would the RCS44 boxer twin fit (10.5") Gas with ignition would be nice combo

My dealer says mid May now for shipping...bummer

I suppose I got lucky and have acquired one already. I must agree, it is a fine looking craft. I mounted a Saito 180, inverted in mine and have had to cut only a small portion of the cowl. As ARF’s go, this was somewhat of a challenge. It is however, a very large, heavy plane. The recommended spinner for this model is a ultimate spinner. However, I was unable to get a Tru-Turn 3-blade spinner in the 3 ¼” size. Depending on the modelers choice, you can use a 2 or 3 blade prop. Both are accurate in the full scale version. I prefer the looks of a three blade and opted for a non-scale Tru-Turn 3 blade.

The only complaint I have about it is the engineering of the control linkage on the rudder. It is made in such a way the it put a tremendous strain on the servo, pulling almost max current, (on mine,) just to move the surface. I can get the recommended deflection in one direction only. I am using 90oz servos. This is more than enough to handle this model. Because of this problem, I am forced to keep this plane on the ground until this engineering problem is worked out. Along with deflecton problems, there is an excessive amount of “free play.”

Overall, It is a gorgeous plane, well worth the 500 it costs. For the most part, Hangar 9 did good.

I found a supplier for Spinners you might check out. They are not true turn but for the price who cares? Also I like the shiney chrome look too. They do carry a 3 1/4" spinner. I ordered a 3blade for my GP Lancair and it looks great. Not to mention I saved 50% of what I would have spent on a True turn. Sorry to rant but I like to save money.

Check em out.

I had the same problem. Reverse the servo arm (max length) to inside. Cut a slot in vert post that holds bottom cover along the linkage line. I had to cut about a 1/3 depth, still lots of strength left without reinforcement. This allow a better angle. I now get equal deflection and the rudder returns to center. Reduced load a lot but still requires more than typical rudder.
