Hope Luizinho you see the carbon and the kevlar on that one.

Is mine the same?

A few pics of the CAMODEL job on a DELUXE KIT wings

I'm just curious to know how many of you could have accepted such a kit ?

J-P,

I have this exact plane in my garage. I have about 8 flights on it now, in this same scheme. These small imperfections are the what is to be expected if you are not willing to build a model yourself or willing to spend top dollar for other ARF's. There are a few things I wish were better, but overall, what CA Models delivers for the price-point is very good. Frankly, it is unreasonable to expect a level of precision and detail higher than what they produce without a significant price increase.

We are all educated builders and flyers. No one has hidden that making weight in electric is difficult to do with this particular plane. While I am sympathetic to your situation - as I would be for any modeler - if you were serous about making weight you should have bought all your E-equipment first, weighed them, and then selected an airframe you felt comfortable building to come underweight.

If you wanted to achieve perfect precision, you should have bought a molded airplane: Whistmodel, JM-Composities, Extreme Composites. If you wanted the best money could buy, you should have bought an Oaxi. Again, we are all educated readers and users of the equipment, and no has ever tried to say that if you buy a $2500 plane, you are going to get the same level of detail and quality control that you get for a $3500 plane.

Again, I'm sympethatic for your situation, but it is time to change the subject.
Respectifully,
Jim Woodward

Hi Jim

I totally agree with you ...It's time to change subject .....

We were in Pombal, had time to chat ...

No one here was surprised regarding the quality, and the service of CA Model...

Maybe they are not interested in the European market ?

So now, I know where not to go ....

I understand better your post

You did a very good job , I saw your plane at the Tangerine , congratulations ....

So I'm really surprised you bought an ARF Kit ....

Anyway if you want another one, mine is on sale.

I can ship it to you in Florida

Hope see you in november and have a drink .

Jean-Paul

JP - I hope you end up with something you are happy with. Are you coming back to the Tangerine in early December?
thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim

Hope to be in Orlando in december ....

Were talking about that in Pombal ..

The solution ........ first one , or from the family pic ...

Jean-Paul

J-P did you talk to Marcelo at the World Championships about your airplane?

Greg

Hi Greg

No, I didn't talk with Marcelo when in Pombal.

I don't mix sport and business, and didn't wanted he accuse me to put him under pressure before competing ....

I'll for sure have another opportunity

Does anybodty know what is the recommended side and down thrust for electric
Mounting the backplate of the spinner flush with the nose give +0,6 degrees up !!!
Thanks

Most beautiful plane I have ever owned. I must have been shipped yours by mistake. I mounted motor to nose ring. About .4 degrees up thrust from spinner backplate. Provides smooth transition at top of Knife Edge loop.

Sorry to hear your Passport issues, pics attached of my Passport, I had some issues with the stabs and the angle but I am really happy with it. I fly the Osmose with a 2 stroke which is just fantastic, the Passport is electric, not flown yet. If it flies as well as the Osmose I will be very happy.

Get rid of the little wing on Osmose and Passport-Osmorose are pretty much the same no?

I agree with the Passport wing tips, but most planes now have a small top wing on the fuz as the Osmose. The Osmose flies so well, hope the Passport is the same. this weekend first flight if the weather is good enought
