RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

I guess I am the only one, who stick to original idea: gasoline-oil-glow plug (no methanol at all). The glow plug is powered from 3700mAh NiMh on board. After replacing carb in my old Poulan 25...

RE: The new electric YAK 54 from Greatplanes!

Just remember that the weakest point is going to give under the stress. If you enforce the existing weakest point there is something else became the one. Better to not have the weakest point in the...

RE: The new electric YAK 54 from Greatplanes!

Nice job on the plane. What is the final weight? I can't see from the photos, did you put some color on the covering on the bottom? This thing is next to impossible to see in the air the way GP...

RE: The new electric YAK 54 from Greatplanes!

Sorry, not for next two weeks - I'm traveling. One thing - on each surface and the bottom of the fuselage I glued a small piece of CF fabric to reinforce the "anchoring" place for CF rods. Look at...

RE: The new electric YAK 54 from Greatplanes!

See my post with pictures on the previous page. Four CF rods do the job.

I have also found that original landing gear is very soft. The plane tripped on a crack in the runway and that was...

RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

I found one bad thing about the gas-glow fuel mix at least with the oil I used. The fuel separated and created a small flakes of something that clogged the carb. I wanted the engine trouble free so...

RE: I need carbon fiber wing tube 22mm (650mm long)

Now 5 years later I have almost the same question: Where do you guys buy CF wing tubes? CST has only two sizes available and looks like they are going to discontinue that. I'm looking for 16-20mm...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Shame on you, NitroPlanes.

Many had exactly the same result. The plane itself is nice flying machine (but not a beginner airplane) but brushed motors are not to the job. I don't see any...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Now this is gonna be hot. From the picture I see you have motors 2435 at kv=4400. I have installed the same motors (2435) but kv=4040 and at 3s lipo WOT it is to much power to fly. You may expect...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Frankly, I never heard from anyone about getting support from Nitroplanes on anything. But it's been beaten up so many times on so many places. Generally the idea is, that Nitroplanes can sell...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Be careful with "breaking" fan like that. What exactly it does it shaves the fan blades by scraping it of the inside of the case. But at the same time it will weaken the blades by bending then...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I have two comments:
1. The sound of rpm from motors they are turning very slow - so it looks like the power is what you wrote. Maybe your plane came with the motors of lower kv.
2. With so...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

That sounds very low. If the battery holds the voltage it is still less than 80W. For 20+ oz EDF plane it is very low. Brushed motors (Mabuchi type) have less than 50% efficiency and that gives...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

When I select a battery for a plane I have two criteria:
1. Max current drawn by the engine(s) can no exceed C times capacity. It doesn't matter if I use WOT during the flight or not.
2. The...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Somehow I'm on NitroPlanes mailing list - I guess because I bought the plane from them :):):)
Anyway, now Nitroplanes advertises brushless planes down do below 90 dollars (J3 Piper Cub) and A-10 BL...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Probably for the same reason, that Banana Hobby, Hobby City or Nitroplanes started to sell brushless version. :D:D:D BTW That video amazes me - reminds me of my first flight with 3s LiPo with stock...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I'm believer ;-) Looks like the new BL version has enough power do do what ARF supposed to do. It's till not a beginner plane, but at least the problem with engines were fixed.

BTW, this...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

See my post from the befinning of this thread. I measured static thrust of stock brushed Guanli motors - total on 3S lipo I got 10 oz. So your brushless version is quite improvement.

Total...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I just checked Nitroplanes site. They wrote it is 1200kV. I'm not sure if they don't know what they have, they lie in purpose or it is truly 1200kV, which probably will not have enough RPM to fly. ...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Actually I did not need to do anything. Just keep the elevator up. It did not tip stall, did not drop the wing, did not fall on the nose, sis not snap. Kind of funny, that you may fly thys plane...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

See my video flying after converting to brushless at www.masmrc.com About 2:35 at this video you can see I stalled it at the slow speed and it just dropped flat.

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Only negative on this plane are:
- 27MHz radio (useless in most parts of the world)
- Engines/rotors (underpowered, unbalanced)
- Battery (NiMh undersized for the power required)

These...
