Nice flight..I have one I’m fixing to build, what power system do you have if you don’t mind telling..I want to make mine electric also, since I fly in town at a local ball field
Hi, it was my first electric (also first control liner) build. I used www.ecalc.ch to find a setup more or less equivalent to a .15 engine, by looking at what would be not too heavy, yet turn a 8x4-8x6 prop at similar speeds as the IC engine would. Came up with the following: Roxxy 28-34-08/1120KV motor, 8x6 prop, 1300mAh/3S Lipo battery, 30A ESC (had one laying around, max pull is around 20A), and it has an adjustable CL electronic timer. At first I used a RC receiver and a transmitter I hooked to my belt. Or one can make ones own Arduino-timer. It could also run on 1000mAh/4S with a smaller prop but then it flies way too fast. In any case, the batteries last only 4 minutes, as they are small, due to the weight (CG)and limited space where the original tank would have been - I attach them there on a mini-tray with velcro and secure them from ever falling off with a rubber band or with tape. I would make the next one with a battery tray embedded into the wing in order to get a larger battery in while keeping the CG at the more or less ok position. What I haven't yet done is use a pusher prop and have it turn clockwise, but will give it a try one day to see if the plane behaves differently.

Built a Baby Clown electric later with completely cowled motor, battery inside the wing, no wires visible anywhere ... and it flies super duper fast and nice.
Hard LANDING? That was one hell of a crash!! I hope you didn't give up, tho!!!

Hallo ich möchte einen Segler mit Papier und Spannlack bespannen. Können Sie mir die einzelnen Schritte nennen? Wird ein das Papier aufgeklebt oder nur durch den den Lack am Balsa gehalten. Danke
Hi, habe selber einen Me109 der Guillows-reihe, aber mit Gummimotor. Spannlack, Verdünnung und Papier kann man von Aeronaut beziehen. Nennt sich Japico/Modelspan oder besser Plyspan. Plyspan ist ein Papier das eine etwas feinere oberfläche hat. Bestellen kann man sowas bei u.a. www.faber-modellbau.de oder www.hoelleinshop.com . Spannlack (aber kein Papier) bekommt man auch von lindinger.at. Nicht vergessen zuerst alle holzteile die mit dem Papier in kontakt kommen mit spannlack oder porenfüller zu bepinseln und danach leicht anschleifen,.
So cute but sad because we know that sloths usually only come to the ground to poop every 5-7 days and its very dangerous on the ground for them, but this little -guy- girl is switching trees because the juvenile sloths are to small to navigate the canopy tree tops that's why the mortality rate for juvenile sloths is so high. Hope she got to a tree.
... stopped the car and stood in the middle of the road to slow/alert drivers passing - avoiding another roadkill - the poor thing obviously had decided that the trees seemed greener on the other side of the road ...
@@pompeltube Do you live there ? if so how do you not have one as a pet, I know there not dogs/cats specific diet although in French Guiana they have some progressive new diets for the sloth they say are awesome.
With the desire to run the engine at that rich or low throttle setting in order to achieve more realism, the loop should have been started after a dive in order to gain more speed.
Hard crash.. I'm surprised they did not try to lean out the engine a few clicks before takeoff.. The plane was flying "heavy" too or just under-powered from the overly rich engine. Sometimes the engine leans out in flight.. I guess it didn't that time. Any attempt at a loop was ill advised. I'm surprised he did not do a "test and tune" flight on site that day before competing.
I wouldnt even launch if the engine was running like that.. NO POWER to keep lift or string tension tight. And I havent flown a control line since I was about 8 years old...
I was sure it was going to snap the line and hit that photographer in the head - up close and personal. It seems a slightly beezaare hobby when there are such sophisticated radio control systems...
In RC we typically fly by the rule that if something sounds or looks wrong you announce your intentions and land right away, models dont sort themselves out - that said horrible loss, enjoyed the flight before the incident
Never allow slack on the cables, as soon as you feel slack take a couple of steps back and pull in your arm to regain tension. on Another note he made the mistake of trying a wing over with the engine poorly tuned . Well that's u control in a nut shell.
The video was boring til he crashed! LOL He openly admitted he was trying to do a loop when he crashed it. The crashed was caused by inexperienced pilot.
No way no how with the engine running too rich. May be if he had time to point the nose strait up the engine could have time to lean out and pick up the revs.
