The time spend building this and showing us is much appreciated! I used to build planes with my dad when I was 8. He passed away 12 years ago (I'm 36 now), and this has given me the kick I needed to build a plane again. Thank you so much for showing us the process. I really enjoyed your videos! I will be looking out for more!

@MarkRobinson555 4 года назад

Thanks for such a lovely comment, pleased that you enjoyed the videos, and there are plenty more to come. I learnt to build and fly with my dad, guess we both have some good memories of that. If you are subscribed to the channel you should be seeing my new build next week, hope you enjoy that as well, its a bit different!

My Dad and I built our first when I was about 9, by 11 I was building Guillow;s kits on my own but my first scratch build plans only was when I was about 20. My Dad passed when I was 32, about 39 years back. I haven't built a plane in a few years but as soon as we get settled (we're traveing) I plan on building an oldtimer 1/2 A free flight.

@Alaric Enzo What series?

@RC-Flight Год назад

My favourite way to fly an airplane, is with a nice glow powered engine! My preference are the four stoke glow. And of course you just can’t beet a stick!

@TheophilusPWildbeest Год назад

What a lovely sound, and kept on full throttle during flight that we saw, I used to do the same.

Turned out fantastic! Would love to see an entire flight.

@MarkRobinson555 4 года назад

Thanks very much, really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I try and not too much flight time on the videos, as I am concerned it may not be of interest. at first it flew a bit sluggish, as I needed to increase the aileron throws a little, but now it flies great, very manuverable and climbs lovely with that 61 on the front.

@davidhames319 2 года назад

Engine sounded just a tad lean. But awesome job on building and flying

@KetilDuna 3 года назад

I have built a couple of these in the past, but never to this standard of workmanship. What weight did you end up with? They do in general fly well, and your specimen is looking really good. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing.

@MarkRobinson555 3 года назад

Pleased you liked it, thanks for the kind comment its appreciated. It came in on the plans target weight of 96 Oz, but I did need to add a little weight to the tail unfortunately as the TT61 engine I was using, which is a great running engine, is quite heavy. If I was to build again I would probably use a lighter engine, mayby a 50 size or perhaps shorten the nose a little. But it flew lovely, very responsive, love it!

@PEDRORUGELES 11 месяцев назад

congratulations I have a question, why did you place the motor in this direction?

@MarkRobinson555 11 месяцев назад

To be honest I was just following the plans, not really sure why it was like this, sorry, probably not the answer you were hoping for 😀

@petercane6376 2 года назад

Well done Mark and thank you for all the build videos. Excellent workmanship. Flying wise...you are like me...fly it the right way up, dont roll and keep it in one piece!! Flying inverted is on my bucket list. I am 71 now so running out of time. Might not happen. What wing span is the model please? I am currently building the Big Stik 20. Nearly finished with an OS 25. Cannot afford the nitro now for a 10cc. Always wanted a Merco 61!!!! Peter. Sorry for the chit chat.

@MarkRobinson555 2 года назад

Hi Peter, thanks for your comment, great to hear from you, really appreciate your kind words, the Stik was a 60" inch wingspan. The 20 will be a great flier I am sure, good luck with the maiden. Have you seen my GP Trainer 60 build series that I am currently posting, its for a Merco 61, as you say a great engine 😀

Thanks for a great build. What material do you use for the orange snakes? Do you make your own CA hinges? Again, thank you.

@MarkRobinson555 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for the comment, really appreciated. The white/orange control snakes I get from slecuk.com, they are cheap and good to use. The CA hinges I get from The World Models in HK. But just as easy to get a sheet of mylar and cut your own.
