RE: Retracts for a PBY 5A [Kyosho kit]

Hello Azimut :D

I think, that this size Catalina is too small for such complex retracts. And mounting complicated machinery would make the plane too heavy. It is too heavy even without...

RE: PBY-5A Catalina

And the wing in Kyosho kit has raised up wingtips. I was thinking to make new wingtips (I didn't glue them permanent) and make them straight like original and maybe a little longer...

RE: 2x.15 for Twinstar enough?

On the other hand, the almost 70" wingspan Catalina flies very good with a pair of .15 Magnums. I know - it is a bit different plane - big wing. But as always You can make it heavy and fast, or light...

RE: PBY-5A Catalina

I don't think so. With four strokes You can use larger three bladed props - very scale looking :) And that sound of two four strokes !!!
Just keep eye on the weight - Kyosho kit is quite heavy...

RE: Hackers' Osprey X-28G & H.Lobby's Donald 4

IMHO it is only matter of Your personal preference. I'm using a regular Speed400 motor and 8x1200 NiCd battery and with this setup the plane has barely proper balance (the battery is fully ahead in...

RE: G&P Sales PBY-5A Catalina

My Catalina is sitting pretty much down in the water too, but there's no big deal to get her on the step and finally to the air. The trick is to operate properly with elevator. First keep it full up...

Ivan is right - the scale speed is easier to achieve with light model and there is less power necessary in such case, but there is always a dark side too: when flying in a real world...

RE: PBY-5A Catalina

IMHO Speed 400 for over 2 meter plane is a bit weak... I remember my Multiplex Twinstar with 1.42m wingspan, 1500g all up weight, and two 400s - flew like a cow. Lazy cow ;). It was...

PBY-5A Catalina

In the last few days I've finished and succesfully flown my Catalina (discontinued Kyosho ARF, ~70" wingspan, 2x Magnum XL15A).

Catalina was my dream since I've returned to building models four...

RE: Hackers' Osprey X-28G & H.Lobby's Donald 4

RE: Hackers' Osprey X-28G & H.Lobby's Donald 4

Well - it's a lightweight plane. A 400 is enough to fly. Consider eventually a small brushless motor. LiPoly batteries are too light and You are not able to balance model unless You put a 5000mAh...

RE: Hackers' Osprey X-28G & H.Lobby's Donald 4

I have the "regular" one Osprey from Hacker with electric power (SPEED400) and in my opinion it is too delicate to accept glow engine. Even light and small OS10LA seems too heavy for me.
