I thought it'd be useful to some people out there if I made a video that covered some of the aspects of the Baudis GP15 JETA scale moulded glider. There is lots to say about this model but I've covered some of the main bits of info. I was missing when it came to putting the model together and taking it out for its maiden flight.
This is the standard carbon layup 160g carbon / herex / 50g glass. The colour is a white with a custom grey wing decoration to match the fuselage decals. I ordered the GP Racer / GP15 combo which means I got two 1st rate models for an excellent price as they share the same wings. I decided to go with the Jetec E-80 in the GP15 and left the GP Racer as a pure glider. The GP Racer as a pure glider is absolutely excellent and somewhat overlooked as an absolutely awesome model in its own right. I'm really glad I got them both!
If you have any questions or if you'd like me to cover any other aspects of this model then please let me know in the comments and I'll get back to you. There is lots more to say, but I hope you find this video useful.
The build uses the following electronics:
Mig Flight Jetec E-80 (www.migflight.de/produkte/e-80/)
Jeti Mezon 160 Lite
Jeti REX10 ASSIST and 900NG
Jeti DSM ESC Dual Switch Mixer

x1 Hi-Tec HS-5585MH for ducted fan retract

Great video - you communicate lots of information. I think that comes from knowing your subject.

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Thanks Andrew 👍

@darrylChanin Год назад

yes, please do the same on the Skywalker XL ;-)

@leightolson89 Год назад

Great review dude ... I'm glad you like the GP15 👍

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Cheers man. I love the combo for sure. Very different to the SW! Hope to catch you on a ridge soon ;)

@leightolson89 Год назад

@@rcaviationadventures7698 Yes for sure!.. and an utterly diff flying experience than the SW 👍

Thank you for your content. Very Good Video and Review.

You’re welcome bud, thanks a lot for the comment 👍

I have a double carbon GP15 with FES and a GP Racer fuselage. I disagree with you about landing. I find it one of my easier planes to land. In your video you show your landing flap at about 40 degrees, but later on the flaps go down almost 90 degrees. This is how I have mine and it makes a huge difference. Also I suggest you try having the ailerons on the inboard flaps only work when you move the aileron stick above half travel. It means you get full ailerons when you need it, but most of the time only the ailerons move. I also have a 3.8m Skywalker, so look forward to your review of it.

@tortugaF3J Год назад

nice Video, well done review/overview. Flying Video of "GP RACER" would be fine & further Skywalker XL videos. Thanx.

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely get to the Racer and the Skywalker comb in that case 👍

@atomicbonds6790 Год назад

Hello! You've done a real service for people like me that are interested in purchasing this model. I'm sold on the Jetec 80 install that's offered by Baudis. I noticed that you did not include landing gear in your model. May I ask why?

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Sorry for not replying sooner! I only fly from slope, not flat field, so there was no need to add the extra weight for me. If I were aero towing or launching and landing from flat fields I'd have included the gear.

OP, I hope you're alive and well since this is the last video you've uploaded. I was wondering what sort of problems you encountered with the idea of mounting the ESC to the forward part of the bulkhead/jetec 80? One other question...does the size of the opening for the Jetec concern you as a point of structural failure?

@rcaviationadventures7698 4 месяца назад

Hi there. I've not had any issues at all. The ESC is mounted to the side of the fuselage, behind the bulkhead. Cooling seems fine and the Jetec retracts with a small amount of clearance between the fan casing and the top of the ESC. I can see how the size of the opening could be a structural concern, but again, I've not had any problems with this. I have only had one 'heavier' landing and I did not have an issue - thankfully! Saying that, a buddy of mine did have a bad landing that caused a small fracture behind the fan opening. There was more damage to other parts of the model so I would not say the opening is any more vulnerable than any other part of the airframe. Overall I find the build quality to be superb. I hope this helps!

@craiglaird3752 4 месяца назад

Hi, awesome video. Can you please share what ESC did you use?

@rcaviationadventures7698 4 месяца назад

Thanks. I use a Jeti Mezon 160 Lite with the Jetec. It pulls about 140A with the throttle wide open. The ESC runs into a Jeti DSM ESC with a Jeti Power-ion RB 3100 to provide some battery redundancy 👍

@Ludovic07g Год назад

Dear, I'm not confident in my English... If I understand well, according to what you have said the GP Racer is closed to the Skywalker 3.8? I own a SW and was interested in the GP Racer... If you can confirm that the performance of these 2 gliders are very similar? Thank you for your video

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Hi there, thanks for the comment. I've flown the GP Racer for a while now it has quickly become my favourite glider. The 3.8 Skywalker is fantastic but the Racer can fly in much calmer conditions and finds lift very well. The GP Racer wing seem is a little more suited to finding thermals and I would say is more efficient than the Skywalker. I tend to fly the Skywalker in stronger winds now, and the GP Racer for pretty much everything else. I still love them both, but the Racer really suits my flying style. It's a superb glider. I now fly the Racer more than any other model I have, but I prefer to fly in calmer conditions where the lift is a little more scarce. I hope this helps.

@johnvella5834 Год назад

Your mix of roll with the flaps seems too excessive. On the full size it is about 40% mix and works well on my 6m ASH 26. Very nice model.

@philltadman Год назад

Excellent! Is that Pole Cottage?

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Thanks Philip, the maiden was in the Brecon Beacons. I live down the south west but I do hope to get up to the Long Mynd at some point 👍

@fragnix2k Год назад

If you do your wiring like this the wires of the motor will brake in short time because they are not flexibel, also if the wire move at the soldering point of the esc it will break also - this is dangerous - please dont do it like this

@rcaviationadventures7698 Год назад

Thanks for the comment. I really had trouble with the wiring because they leads are not long at all. I'd love to see how others do it. Maybe the leads need extending a bit, but I am reluctant to do so.

Buen avión, Mucho Lastre y Poco Control, de Altura,Velocidad y Telemetría TODO AFECTA La Emisora Yeti es de las Mejores, y También de las mas Caras... Yo tengo una FrSkis X20 Ethos y Funciona igual de Bien (Es mas Barata) Pero es Made in China y otro Detallado, Mis Receptores Son Estabilizados con Giróscopos Electrónicos Ajustables (MUY IMPORTANTE, para tener +/- Mando en las Superficies o Aletas) En Cuanto al Motor Fan (Nada que Añadir, Solo que yo NO LO PONDRÍA Así) Yo lo habría puesto, en una Hélice Plegable y en el Morro. Lo VEO Un Avión de LUJO y Tan Eficaz Como otro Cualquiera, Solo que, Cuando lo Vuelas Te Sientes Como La NASA en Florida Despegando el Columbia, Un Secreto, "Hay que ir a lo Practico y Barato". Que lo disfrutes.
