Apart from enjoying watching you work why am I sat here at twenty to midnight listening to your dulcet tones?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

For the same reason I'm usually up at the same hour editing them for you 😁😁

Looking forward to seeing this one go, Cliff!

She is isn't she JE, just imagine her scaled right up ... and no, that's not a hint, just a thought 😁

I really like that landing gear idea, Cliff.

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Thanks David, it evolved as I went along, sometimes you just have to let ideas do that don't you? 🙂

@mbkmmodels9406 2 года назад

Thanks for the video Cliff. I have been struggling with hinges for the past few days and your tip for this is good. Great build.

Cheers MB, hinges can be over-thought 👍🙂

That's what I thought Stephen Ps, I made a new Delta plate for the Luobo yesterday after the plastic one snapped during an interesting arrival, so she lives to fly again 😁👍

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Did you film it ? . If so why not share it. Even a fail is a win on utube plus I find that you can learn from watching it back. And others may also learn or be able to offer advice. 😉

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

@@RcAircraft I did as it happened Stephen but it was a very short flight and a bit too far away to really enjoy the arrival 😁

Hope so Kenny, cheers 🙂

@ModelAV8RChannel 2 года назад

Handsome plane Cliff...kind of reminds me of a Fly baby. You are a really great builder...enjoyed watching your process and hearing you explain your changes. Great mods all...makes perfect sense for a RC version. Love the cosmetic additions too. Looking forward to your maiden!

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

She's a fun little machine Adam, an interesting diversion 👍

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

You're right Ian, a top wing would be a nice conversion 👍

@terryblackman6217 2 года назад

Good morning Cliff. Lovely looking model, and as you said the Lazer cutting looks to be very precise. Try cutting that lattice work on the tailplane with a swan morton. Good luck with the maden. Terry

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Thanks Terry, the tail plane is a beauty isn't it 👍

@downwindchecklist6567 2 года назад

Fantastic attention to detail as always! I would be scared to fly without ailerons as I am not so good at having well balanced and streamlined models. I liked your u/c and the geodetic stabilizer!

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

I'm sure you'd be ok DC, nice bit of long grass! I wouldn't like to try and cut out that stab either, cheers. 🙂

@vaughanlockett658 2 года назад

Hi cliff great build , can't wait to see it fly . Can you do a little special on your carbon control rods and what horns you use .

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Thanks Vaughan, check out this video for the pushrods I made ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cqVrcF7jt9k.html, the horns are just thin ply most of the time.

Great Cliff, thanks, - I learned a lot, - and a pleasure to watch, what's the wt ? - fingers crossed for the maiden !

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Hi Eric, thank you, weight with rc gear but no battery is 2.1oz or 60gms 🙂

Great upgrades Cliff, she certainly looks great. How did you work out the angel of the motor ?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

I asked Gabriel 😁😁

@MORCOPOLO0817 2 года назад

Is the balsa low density enough to get good rubber powered flights out of it?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

It's not too bad Morco but there's a lot of weight that could be shaved off if I was going that route, the model is really aimed at getting juniors to build and have fun rather than pure duration 🙂

@davidquerry8869 2 года назад

I have to check my balsa builders users guide, if tea drinkers are allowed to use coffee stirs in their builds?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

It's in the addendum under 'If a teaspoon is not available' ... cheers!

@rafaeltorres2886 2 года назад

Hey Cliff how did you connect the carbon push rods to the inboard servos?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Hi Rafael, the connectors are fastened to the push rods with a short length of heat shrink tube. On this build the connectors didn't match, I looked in my parts box. One was just a bent piece of wire the other was a little wire connector which you can make yourself as explained in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cqVrcF7jt9k.html

Hi, Cliff! "NICE KIT!" R.C. conversion? "Where did you find that gem?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Hi Richard, thanks, the link is in the description Henson had a stall at the Wood Spring show a couple of months ago and were displaying some of their models, also some of their prototypes 👍🙂

@richardbrowne1217 2 года назад

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Found it! Made in the Old U.K.? OKAY! I'll buy one in the future. I have been buying models for the past 6 months. I'm a little low on cash or U.S. currancy right now. The bloody U.S. Government raised our taxes, gas, food, and living expensives so much I can barely breath! I have over 70 model kits a about 26 or more scratch build plans. I am not liking this new President or his Cabinent! He earns the name Sleepy Creepy Lieing Joe Biden. The Democrats earned the name DEMONRATS.

@tomrogers6510 2 года назад

What did you use for the servo’s are they conventional?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Hi Tom, they're the all-in-one linear servos attached to the rx and esc board, although I'm using a separate esc in this model 🙂

@garygullikson6349 2 года назад

Now try converting an electric powered RC plane to a rubber powered free flight model😃

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

Actually Gary that's not a bad idea, any of my Microace's models would make pretty good free flight rubber models with little modification, they're certainly light enough 👍🙂

@robert43g 2 года назад

I thought you said a couple of months ago you were building a large scale glider ? or did I dream that

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes 2 года назад

No, you remember correctly, unfortunately the manufacturer is having trouble getting the wood together so there's a temporary halt on that project. I do have something very unusual coming out in the next few days though 😁👍
