Hello
Friend of mine Yves broke the wings and stab of his plane. As he had a pair of wings and stab of an old Onyx, there have been installed. This necessitated modifications by displacement of the fuselage sleeves. Claude |

Still making some adjustments but so far it is showing lots of promise. |

Neo Stage
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...22a58c6bba.jpg
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...1260634baf.jpg Neo Stage from Flight Hobby i Japan. All Wood and glassed lots of work with primer colors and clearcoat but pretty happy With the results , picture is a few weeks ago when it still was some snow around the field. The kit was nice nothing much to complain about , delivery was quick and RC Japan was wery easy to deal with. Kit came With jigs for wing stab and canaliser and also possible to buy an opptional fuse jig wich I didnt do. Have now around 50 flights on it and only real trimming I have done so fare is to ad some weight in one wing . |

Assembly Kit : RC Japan Radio Control Aircraft Car https://flighthobb.exblog.jp/m2018-05-01/ Claude all are done the old way no plastic and no (almost) CA Wood glass dope primer Paint , and white old fashion woodglue Claude! The wood Construction off the plane was not that much work I think I used longer time on the finish. |
Hello Rune
Remember me ? You have an Addiction pattern from Starcraft and an Akiba Supershot ! Claude |
Hi Rune,
Beautiful Neo Stage! It appears to be e-powered which I know it was designed for, could it be modified for glow power? Thanks, Will PS Did you use dope to apply the glass cloth? What is the rest of the finish? Dope with a clear coat? No need for fuel proofing! |
My two Caelus, at last years NATS. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...45c31840e2.jpg
|
yep I remember you , I had an Goodshot many years ago btu no Addiction.
You also helped me With a kit for som wings to a Arixtra that I didnt build that Frank took to Norway. I have follow Your work on Your Harmonie's here at RCU great work. |
I think it can be converted to glow , its build up is similar to the "older" japanees planes that was glow Powered.
I think the biggest mod wil be a firewall that in the kit are with a big opening and its no room for any silencer. for fininsh I used first a coat With EZ Cote and lay the glass with the same stuff ,this is something I will not recomend its water base and dont smell but it does some scary things with the wood I hade some places where the balsa got bumpy. Luckely I was able to use my iron for plastic to get it almost back. so after that it was good old fashion dope With talkum and primer before akrylic base and clearcote, really basic stuf. One thing wery handy With this kits (it was also in the goodshoot kit for 10 tyears or so) its delivered With a fullsize color scheme so I kut this appart and masked after that. |
Hi Papaone,
another impressive build by you! How much do the strakes on the fuselage sides improve performance? Are they worth the effort? I know Naruke has them on his Ascent and Assist designs. Thanks and happy flying! -Will |

Ola Fremming build and fly this one back in 2010 and 2011, then he sold it to another guy which only fly it around 50 flights during 2013/14. Early this summer I was so lucky to get it. It is almost in mint conditions. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...0c18d5708a.jpg

Graupner High Voltage servoes all around. Flying weight is about 4.800 grams, with my newest batteries (960 gram) it will be around 4.600 grams. Got only 3 flights so far since the esc starts fire on the first flight yesterday but was able to land it with no damage. Just a minor burned spot on the belly pan. Hopefully back in the air during the weekend. My first impression is that it is a really well flying machine and I felt that it was crisp in the roll maneuvers and track very well. |
hi Ekvein......your f.weigth is ok...i´have same with 900grs,batt´s( 4000 milli´s) but flytime is very short!!! around 7 minutes max...
and yes...the fly is beauty!!! i´want to try with 5000 milli´s battery´s and want to make a litle Tcan for better´s KE and little more rudder autority... -i´m sorry with your speed control is burned!!! what happen ???? |
It seems that the cable from rx to esc had a shortcut, its a burned spot on the belly pan where i guess it happend. Replaced both esc with another Spin 99 and cable yesterday, do a proper cleaning inside and outside fuse and checked out that everything works so most probabely I will have it back to air tomorrow. My model has different wing than the original, Ola Fremming build a more svept back vings and also a bigger rudder som my rudder authorities is much better than the other Oxai Azurit i also have. I use around 2900 mAh in a 7 min flight with 4600 batteries but I never flew more than one rounds of maneuvers so that ok for me.

My Mark III Kwik Fli
More progress on my plans built (ain't no kits) of my Vintage 1967 Nats and Inter Nats winning Phil Kraft designed Kwik Fli Mark III which I'm building for some possible fun competition with The Senior Pattern Associations pattern meets.

Hello
Design and building are my passions. And since I'm retired, I'm lucky to be able to manage free time as I wish when my little children leave me alone. Are you building right now?

Hi Papaone,
Yes, I have 3 models framed and ready to finish: a Black Magic VF3 (got a great deal on it a few years ago); an MK Laser; an MK Alliance. Then some cleaning of the shop and I will start work on a Naruke Hobbies Ascent. :-) -Will Nice Collection, Krille! |
Hi Will
Nice projects especially that of Ascent Naruke kit all in wood.

Hello
I'm doing finishing with glass cloth 25 g/m2 on the fuse and painting only in white for maiden flight if sometimes it's necessary to make some modifications. Claude https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...45b416dae7.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...cd438bb6ab.jpg |
Hi Papone,
The Arpege looks great. Could it be modified for glow? If there are plans I'd like to build one (or two...) Thanks, Will |
