Here's my review of the FlightLine RC Ta 152H 1300mm wingspan. I love the long nose Focke-Wulf designs and the Ta 152H is one I've always had an affinity for. So, I picked up this model late last year for a rainy day and recently got together and flying and it is sweet! The airplane flies great on a 4s pack having good speed with awesome vertical and the shape of the model captures the lines of the Ta 152H almost perfectly. I did some paint work and weathering along with some landing gear mods to obtain the scale gear angle in the down position which are all covered in the vid. My full review writeup with CG, control throw and Dx file is available at thercgeek.com/Ta152

Great video my friend. Iam dreaming of this baby from the moment it was released. Hope to have it someday for the test. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

Thanks man! She’s a cool little model. I hope you’re able to get one. 😊

Great review. The additional paint/weathering looks awesome 👍

One of the best flying warbirds in this class that i own (and i own quite a lot, some would say too many 😎😎). Flies like it's on rails with perfect speed. I initially bought the "sport power setup" with the 2 blade prop + spinner and the higher KV motor but never installed that because the standard config has more than enough power (and looks better with the scale 3 blade scale prop). It's amazing to see this bird accelerating when you push the throttle to max from a cruising speed 😁😁 I just wish that they would release a D9 because I like that version even more.

@shauncullen5669 2 месяца назад

Great work. Nice that you went to all the effort to replicate "Green 9". Did you forget the tail markings?

@matthewjames2649 3 года назад

Nice job chris!! Love it !!

@rcchronicles25 3 года назад

This is the kind of modding that gets the mouth watering. Weathering and updating the look is what it's all about! It looks really great, good job! But sorry did you hear the sound of that thing in flight? Wow I love this model 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Thank you! This really is a cool little model. Doesn’t take much effort to really make her shine. 😊

@chksix 3 года назад

Nice job on the weathering and landing gear mod. You have way more energy than I have. I'm too damn lazy, I just fly them like they come out of the box.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Thanks! For me, it really depends on the airplane. Some I want spend the extra time, others not so much. 😊

@avipatable 3 года назад

Very nice model, great silhouette and lovely weathering. I like what you have done to the main gear - they always get FW 190 gear wrong - even Sierra Giant don't do it properly. It would really finish it off if you could tuck that tailwheel up... quite a challenge, but a lot of the late war planes don't quite have realism in flight because of the tail wheels.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Thank you! I hear you on the tail wheel, that would be pretty cool. Really tough to do at this size when it’s already built. At least it’s the right size and shape.

@NICHOLASRGLORIOSO 3 года назад

AWESOME BRO!! 🤘🤘💪

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

@eqrc7587 3 года назад

I like what you did w/gear. I looks small to be a 1300mm plane compared to a 1100mm FW190. But I still have not flown mine yet. Just fly my Dynam planes now.👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Yeah, it’s not a real big model, but it does look cool. The wingspan is long, so that’s kind of deceiving.

@JetAlfred57 3 года назад

Wunderschön lackiert 👍👍👍👍👍

@shanethepain2009 3 года назад

I re flew mine 3 days ago, green 4 with lime green spinner white spiral and moved the lipo back a 1/4 in and this stopped the plane wanting to rotate up on its nose issue completely ,completely normal operations. flies like a pattern plane, the parkzone fw190a wheels look nice. i use the parkzone p47 install reversed sided and look very scale . will 3d print a max gruder bf109 pilot from 3d trader to fit after scaling it . working on a second one as green 9 with the red spinner. stab JG 301 Willi Reschke wn 150168

@grumpyoldnerd8727 2 года назад

just subscribed. Fantastic review ! Do you think the canopy is, and will stay clear enough for an internal HD FPV camera placement on a pan/tilt/lean gimbal ?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Thanks! Fpv would be pretty rad in this. I feel like the canopy is clear enough, but I don’t really have any experience with that.

@victorrcjets7660 3 года назад

Looks easy to take off with your gear modifications. It doesn't do that annoying hard left.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Takeoffs I found were quite user friendly actually, I expected far worse. You do have to be a bit active on the rudder and elevator, but that’s pretty typical.

@tomheetderks9997 3 года назад

Great looking paint job Chris! I've admired this one for a long time, I have the 800mm mustang and love it, FL makes a good plane. Question- do you think It could do well with a 4S 5,000 mah? Looks like there is a little room to go aft in the fuselage.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Honestly, I’m not certain a 5000 would fit very well. That’s a pretty large pack for this airplane.

@robw8703 Год назад

Chris, another great video. Quick question: When you bent the axle to make the wheels orient vertically (like the real one)...did you actually bend the axle itself or the lower part of the strut?

@Thercgeek Год назад

They struts are wire, so I bent the axle portion to get the correct wheel angle.

@robw8703 Год назад

@@Thercgeek got it. I tried bending just the axle on one of the retracts and couldn't get it to bend. I may try taking the strut out altogether so I can get better lwverage on it.

@rippertrain 3 года назад

Very nice. I play il2 sturmovk vr

@jeffhenderson934 3 года назад

Figures... I was just getting good at “weathering” the old fashioned way. (Banging then around in the truck, brushes with tree branches, and landings that resemble cartwheels) But if you think this is a way to weather and in some weird way might lengthen the life of the plane, I’ll try it on the new Me-262. Looks like a lot of work when I can weather and age a plane in under 4 minutes....

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Hahaha, whatever works, right? 🤣

@clayton5949 3 года назад

Where did you purchase the control throw gauge? All of your planes always seem to look great, but I have been most envious of that gauge for a while now! I must get one!

@clayton5949 3 года назад

Great Planes incidence meter, found it!

@clayton5949 3 года назад

Throw meter.

@Thercgeek 3 года назад

Yeah, it’s called an accuthrow meter from great planes. My understanding is that it’s been discontinued. So that’s awesome if you found one!

When you use Windex, does it matter If it has ammonia I it?

@Thercgeek 7 месяцев назад

Good question. I don’t believe the windex that I use for that stuff has ammonia in it.

@aperson6996 2 года назад

Great video! Do you think this is a better choice than the Dynam focke wolf and is worth getting?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Thanks! Imo, the quality of this one is quite a bit better than the dynam.

@aperson6996 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek OK, do you think this is worth getting as a first warbird as in is it easy to fly, as if not I might get a bush plane

@aperson6996 2 года назад

I have had only bit of experience with RC planes

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

If you have some tail wheel experience you should be fine. The hardest part in flying the model is the takeoff, so just requires smooth throttle control and avoiding lifting off the airplane too soon. Otherwise, it’s a pretty cool flyer.

@laydownflat 6 месяцев назад

Hello, how were you able to not pull off the factory paint when masking with frog tape? I figure it would peel the thin factory paint right off when you pull the frog tape off.

@Thercgeek 6 месяцев назад

I’ve had very good success with frog tape. I’ll typically place the tape on my shirt first before placing it on the model and then peel it back over itself when lifting it up. Works great!

@laydownflat 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic. I will try that with the frog tape. Thanks for the info!

This one comes without a receiver in it, so can use any type of radio system with it.

@larsulrich3356 2 года назад

Can you remove the canopy without damaging the fuselage?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Usually, if you can get a fingernail underneath one of the edges and start lifting it, it’ll start to pull away from the fuselage. That’s how I go about it. If you get a tool in there, that’s when you run the risk of damaging the surrounding areas on the fuse.

@larsulrich3356 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek Thank you. i was thinking about buying it in separate parts instead if I were to buy it instead.
