I did it. I ordered a FLYSKY 10 Ch. radio and and this StevensAeroModel Quick oats model RC trainer. I appreciate how you explain the process and I look forward to supporting your channel. Thanks for the thorough videos, I feel like you are sharing your love for the hobby and it is inspiring! I appreciate a push in the right direction. Thanks, Brent
Hi Tim, I did build the quick oats and it turned out very good. Very pleased. Stevens arrow was very helpful. And thank you for your help. Also, I now have a beautiful plane, that surprisingly flies beautiful. I followed your step-by-step build and helped me immensely. Thanks again.
@@TimMcKay56 Thanks, Tim! I'm currently flying several Cox powered models (revisiting my youth). It's a lot of fun! I just aquired the Goldberg 42 Skylane but feel a bit nervous about the build (backround is mostly Guillow's and Sterling kits). I think I need to just lay it all out and get started.
Thx for sharing! I like the fact that they provide a "shopping list" of what equipment is needed. The more complex barrier for me so far is the electronics, so I am hopping that if I follow that list I will get compatible electronics and set-up. I still have other projects running on my channel, but I think this will soon be in my backlog! Thank you!
DC: The Stevens Aero kits are great, do give them a try! Also, I list all the electronics in the description that I used for my QuickOats, planes flies well. Tim
i plan on getting a few arf's for my grandsons they have shown a great interest in rc flying and they do really well on my simulator so i think its time they learn to build one on their own. Thank you Tim it was a very informative video god bless and keep em coming
Hi Tim, I'm 65 and just started to enjoy building so I'm learning a lot from your videos. I've been flying foam airplanes for years but excited to see if it's true that balsa flies better. I think the Quick Oats looks suitable for my style of flying and building skills. Subscribed and looking forward to your next video.
Mike: I would recommend an easy to fly and rugged AFR/RTF trainer for learning how to fly RC. This video more focused on building your first RC trainer. Tim
Tim, after watching this video about 10 times over and over I decided to send away for one. I went down the list of everything I needed and bought them. The only thing I couldn’t get was a battery they were out, so I purchased at some other place. One thing I keep going over on this video is where you said you had to make a little change with the servos. You said it was a little tricky and you had to cut out a little bit to make them fit. What exactly did you have to cut to make The servoes fit properly. I’m just concerned about that. I want to make sure I do it right. As I build this model I’m sure I’m gonna have to keep playing this video over and over but I’m glad I’m able to do that. This is sure different than when I built my two GWS slow sticks. This will be a challenge for me but I want to do it. Wish me luck. Thank you Tim, any response would be greatly appreciated!
Jim: Congrats on your new project! The Quick Oats is a neat airplane to build and the photo illustrated guide helps a lot. No worries on the servo installation. Stevens Aero had a laser cut size for whatever servos they planned to use. I used Hitec HS-55 servos which were a tad bigger than the ones used by the designer, thus I had to cut open the servo spaces a bit more on the mounting platform to install the servos. This is easy to do with a sharp #11 X-acto blade. If you can get some smaller servos, try the Hitec HS40 servos. Super light weight, they may fit better. I got my HS40 servos on Amazon.com. Tim
ZZ: I am conservative to try and avoid crashes due to battery running down. Thus, I set 5 minute flights. With lower throttle, seem to discharge around 40%. Would rather have a few safe, shorter flights than pushing a battery. Tim
Hi Tim, When I was a teenager, I put together a few non-motorized flying models, only gliders such as "Czyżyk" or "Jaskółka". These are the Polish versions of the ribbed gliders. I never needed any (hair) saw as the ribs and other parts were already cut. How can I cut plywood without damaging the parts? Is the processing fixture expensive. Friends encourage me to come back to modeling, but somehow I don't know how to approach it (after about 40 years). I currently live in the USA, but in 3 months I will fly to my home country and I would like to use my time somehow (I am retired) and not bore myself to death. Have a nice day.
Hello sir, I would like to order a Toon Quaker Flash set, but there is no delivery service to Thailand. I don't know what to do, sir. Please help me sir. Thank you very much sir.
@@TimMcKay56 Yes its a musium piece now. I have made several of my own radios recently and have a couple inwork. not for Aviation use (Yet). My approach back to RC is to build from scratch including the Avionics. I aquired plans from Cleveland Model & supp. for the 80" Playboy so I can pack it with gear. I got to build the airplane.....You can do it if you get bored. You have a Great Show. its stops me from getting my stuff done.
