Hi David .. thanks for the feedback .. the Zeus is a fellow members Jet he has it set up for 10s or 12s for high speed .. this flight was 154mph and the next flight was 176mph I believe he has flights with over 180mph seems to fly solid and handles most manoeuvres comfortably 👍🏻👌
Very cool looking project there, Jeff... but wowswers... three Dynam Tiger Moths! 😲 Niiiiice! I love my yellow Dynam one and it's become a treasured possession. Good luck with the Marchetti build.
@@purcellrcaviationchannel maiden on the moth was sketchy lol .. very windy and ended up slightly tail hvy and it porpoised quite badly .. needs more nose weight and a new elev servo the elev was sticky ..
Cheers Scot .. the model is a ‘practical scale’ 1/3 .. it would be perfect with a big 4stroke .. atm it’s running a reduction drive swinging a huge prop .. 👍🏻
Don't really work like that. Totally based off wing span!! Easy to figure out correct scales when you know the wingspan of the full scale you are modeling.
The model comes up at 1/2.8 scale so is slightly larger the 3rd scale .. wingspan is 3.19m and the real tiger is 8.94m wingspan .. 8.94 devided by 3.19 = 2.8 .. 👍🏻
@@highflying82 Thanks - I was trying to guess its wingspan based on a guess to your height. What you say is close to what I was guessing. Perhaps the fuselage isn't exactly to scale and that is why I was confused.
Yes has a really nice scale set of retracts and oleo legs .. the gear doors were taken off for this flight for testing and gear was left down majority of the time incase a quick landing was required .. this was a shakedown flight so Chris could adjust the all flying tailplane and tune the rates .. 👍🏻
Wow, it's been a while since I've seen one of those control line planes. In person maybe 50 years ago? A dizzy kind of flying, thanks for the nostalgia! Cheers 👍💪✌
Thanks Gina .. u have a good ear 👂 .. yes ur correct there was a MK9 Spitfire with its merlin humming away in the airspace .. we were treated to a few rolls over the field earlier in the day 👌👍🏻
Cheers buddy .. it does feel very nIce to fly .. lots of rudder and ail cross control to guide it but it just wants to keep flying .. happy landings 👍🏻
Cheers Bob .. starting to get comfortable with the big cub .. spent the day trying to get flap elev mixes dialled in .. sun came through for a short while 👌👍🏻
I owned it for a few years in the uk ..Japan import ..Celica is now sold and in Finland .. homologation special.. into lag .. water injection .. full TRD WRC components was running around 460bhp 👍🏻
Thanks .. as for the Catalina I need to pick up a micro retract (tail wheel retract) for the nose retract as the one I was using to mock up and to calculate the nose steering is worn out .. all the interior inside the Catalina is Done and painted and the main gear is fixed to the bulkhead as soon as I get the retract I can epoxy the fuzz halves back together and work on the air retractable floats I will do an update video on the Catalina soon 👍🏻
