That looks pretty neat!

Do you have files/plans/parts, or whatever that you can share or sell?

(not that I can afford to build anything at the moment )

The Vanquish belly doesn't have enough room to take the pipe as is. You either need to build a tunnel or you will need to cut the cross bracing on the fuse formers. I opted for the tunnel since cutting cross bracing would hurt the fuse too much.

I have 10 flights on the PTE36R/Vanquish combination. There is more than enough power there. Not as much as an OS33GT but enough for the job at hand. I had mentioned to Claude (Papaone) to use the Mintor 38cc aluminum pipe which is what I'm using in the Vanquish. The combination is quieter then the muffler but noisier than the ESComposites pipe. The exposed pipe also contribute to the noise footprint but aluminum is ringy naturally.

In contrast, my OS/ESComposites combination is fully enclosed, turning larger propellers and is whisper quiet.

Will be testingthe DLE35RAin Vanquish next year. Good looking engine form the outside

We don't have plans at this point, as our next version is being built right now, but we'll see how it turns out next year with plans or selling a kit. The plane was designed on solid works by my dad, and all of the parts are cut by our cnc router, so a kit couldbe a possibility for the next year.

Hello

On French Championship 2012 Illian Soustelle won National B serie (similar Master serie) and Leo Heckmann won National A serie (similar Advanced serie).
Illian is 18 years old and Léo 13 years old. They have same coach Loic Burbaud. Leo is proud to pose with French team.

Very nice pictures, Claude!

It appears as though you are supporting several young flyers with your airplanes, that is fantastic! You are a very generous man.

Hello Ryan

Thank you very much Ryan.
I forgot to write than CPLR won FAI serie (25 th time) and every champion won with plane equiped with Yamada.
Do you have building projects for this year?
Some pictures?

Hi Claude,

Did BPLR fly this year? It is very good to hear of the strong support Yamada has with F3A in France.

I don't have much for myself at the moment. My work with Horizon Hobby keeps me very busy. I built the prototype Splendor for Quique last year as well as recovered my ExtremeFlight Vanquish F3A. This year I will work to have two Partners (one from QQ, one "new") flying and go to as many contests as I can. I have made arrangements to fly in our national championships for the first time since 2007.

I do want a building project, and I have slowly been working on building a Harmonie. When I start, I will send you pictures.

Best regards,

Ryan

Hi Ryan

We did'nt see Benoit on selection contests and championship this year.

I built another Passion for a friend Eric who wanted same design as my Harmonie and I'm painting it.
Last picture is before painting name and varnishing.

Nice work Claude...

Which engine is the one shown? Is it piped or canistered? Which prop?

Merci,

Matt

Hello Matt

Engine is RCGF32, header is Hatori GSA 30 (same as OS 33GT), exhaust tuned pipe is Webra.
Friend of mine Stéphane Bernard with same engine/header/tuned pipe uses APC 20x10,5 RPM is about 7200 t/mn and APC 20,5x10 RPM is about 7000 tr/mn.
Lenght between engine and tuned pipe is 740 mm / 750mm.

Thank you....

I've seen Stephane's data and graph before. The RCGF32 is more than adequate for the job of flying pattern sized models.

The pipe looks small. I can only wonder if the RCGF was run on the ESComposites pipe what the output would be. But I'm sure you have found that the full top end is hardly ever used to fly 2m Pattern

My fleet of World Models' 40 size e pattern plane, good for winter flying before the weather is warm enough for the 2 meters again.

Adrian,

Which one feels more like a 2M for F3A?

Regards

The wood Super Taiji is the closest to a 2M plane. Especially, if you install some more down thrust & positive wing to the plane. So far, I only have had three flights on the EPO Commander, but it shows a lot of potential even on a fairly windy day, it snaps clean & knife quite nicely. I will install some down thrust on the motor & hopefully can fly again this weekend.

Hi Jon, would be interested to hear your experience of the Pletty with the OS ESC.

Thanks, Volkert
