Cheers! That was a treat. A garden flyer. Perfect. Gives you time to grab a flight while the Mrs. grabs some tea and sandwiches for a picnic. Just need an LGB garden train. ;-) Greetings from the Southern US of A.
Your garden is beautiful and a classic LGB would add a nice touch. Mine's almost 20 years old and is the star of the Christmas tree. Smoke and whistle!
Dom Simply Awesome Video from Scratch build to flight test. Appreciate the time and effort you've put into this. They sure look like great looking models to build, fly and display. Cheers. Paul G ;)
It's a very rewarding foam model to build and fly Erick. A lot of detail has gone into the design. Will be starting my second one soon. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Appreciate that Maurice. I don't normally get the time to spend on building. Prefer to be out filming or flying BUT this was too good an opportunity to miss and it was over Christmas when I had spare time. It's a very rewarding type of model to build. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
My parents back yard actually. Taken about 15 years for them to make that garden what it is today...but yeah, great for flying micros on a zero wind day. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Essential RC thank your answer, someday I'll buy it, but I have no experience in flying, and I can not decide on the first airplane, can you help me? I want rtf to 125$ and 4 channels, I want to plan and sometimes give a gas. Thank you very much in advance!
Slightly tail heavy for the maiden flight as more agile that way. Envelope is relatively light so should be cheap to send stateside. Drop Microaces an email and ask or see if the online ordering calculates it. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Wonder if they export these over seas? I live in NZ and was a RC flyer some time ago; age and family came first!! How easy are these to fly as I haven't flown for some time but great video. And definitely liked and subbed!! Cheers
Not hard to fly and they are more robust than they look. If you are competent with an RC 3 channel trainer (i.e. throttle, elevator and rudder) then you could fly one of these easily. Thanks for the feedback ;>) Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Can you give us some tips on what glues to use on the depron foam? The one that i see on this vid looks to be heavy; maybe just cuz it's out of the tube.. I thought the glue of choice was the foam safe C.A. with Accelerate
UHU-POR. You just have to use it sparingly and apply it with a cotton bud rather than directly from the tube. No. Do not use foam safe CA. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Andrew Jackson Just make sure you experiment with some scrap. If you get CA on your fingers (which you will) and then touch the MicroAces kit you will smudge the print on the think 1mm depron. Not worth the risk in my opinion.
Essential RC Oh yes. Best method to date, on depron 3d planes is using WATER. Where you have to poke a hole in the foam to glue in the carbon fiber rod; I poke a hole half way the depth of the foam, put a drop of foam safe glue (which takes forever to cure). At this point both the rod end and the place on the foam has drop of C.A. I then just dip the rod end in pool of water and then put it in the foam. I have known why your fingers instantly bond to C.A. .. it's the moisture in your skin. So it's the water molecule that activates the curing process. Water is so free.. why buy that activator in the bottle at $5/oz ?
