RE: BD-5J Project
Hi,
In looking at your pictures, I'm wondering if you have installed the metal pipe yet. In most of the BD-j5's I have seen the exaust end on the Jet have been cut since the pipe is not designed to go all the way to the end. As an example, stop the video in front of you when the Jet is talking off and you can see what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbK9N_BlALM If this link doesn't work, I'll re-sent it. Doc... |

Today I was pleasantly surprised when my bd5 arrived today which is now sitting on my kitchen island,its been a long 4 months . I been following the forum for awhile and noticing that the finishing instructions aren't being publicized or posted due to the lack of instruction that came with the plane.I understand , but any info or pics on what other modelers have done would help, so I'm not re-eventing the wheel on save on some time on finishing for the spring.
thanks frank |
RE: BD-5J Project
My BD5 arrived yesterday. Just a quick look over and it looks good. One question, only one hatch on the bottom of the wing for the aileron servo. Where does the flap servo go?

ORIGINAL: Todds Models My BD5 arrived yesterday. Just a quick look over and it looks good. One question, only one hatch on the bottom of the wing for the aileron servo. Where does the flap servo go? If you look at the root end of the wing you will a hole recessed in the wing for the flap servo. I hope to maiden mine next week. In an earlier post the C/G is stated at 4-3/4 from the root. Would appreciate confirmation if some one could confirm. It looks about right since thats approx 25% of the wing cord. Appreciate any input. thanks mike |

RE: BD-5J Project
What was the total weight of the BD5 when done? Just weighed mine as it comes out the box and it is a whopping 16 pounds. Mine is unpainted so I am guessing about 25 pounds ready to fly....??? Seems a bit heavy.......</p> |
RE: BD-5J Project
Hi,
That's about right. 20-22lb thrust engine should do well. Figure with the fuel tank it comes with, the weight on that full is about 5-6 lbs. Doc... |
RE: BD-5J Project
Okay I have found some time to start working on my BD5. My version came unpainted with nothing installed. Just plumbed the retracts and was wondering how the nose wheel steering worked. Went through the box and found no mounting hardware for the steering servo or linkage. Looks like it uses pull - pull cable.
If anyone could post a quick picture how it is set-up I would appreciate it. Thanks, Todd |

Did you guys address some of the issues with this kit in the Gen 2? Ron |
RE: BD-5J Project
I guess so right? I have always admired this plane, like most of us have, since seeing it in action in the James Bond film. I saw one video of the plane at some airshow and it looked like it handled pretty good, good manners on landing and such. Straight wing with flaps usually equals good flying characteristics.
