Our flying field's (SGVRCL) Club President, Gilbert Lucero, helped my dad and I get our Great Planes Escapade all tuned up from over a year in slumber! It felt great to fly a fast and loud nitro plane again! There is just nothing like the sound and smell of a nitro motor!
I didn't use a microphone so there are no flight narration on this video. I focused on fast flying fun! It took me a while to get used to her speed especially during landing. But, I think I finally managed to tame her!
This is the Escapade Sport .40-.55 GP/EP 52.5" ARF.
Equipped with the following:
- O.S. 55AX glow engine with muffler
- Cool Power 15% Total Synthetic Model Fuel
- APC 11 x 6 Sport Prop
- (5x) Tactic TSX-35 standard servos
- 6.6V 1450mAh 2S LiFe receiver battery
- Spektrum DX-8 transmitter
- Spektrum AR-620 6-channel receiver

I'm flying Nitro planes in 1980s then fly electric now then going back to nitro again... RC life goes around.

@PhilBender612 2 года назад

Nice flying Jon. There's nothing quite like a nitro. The sound and smell is exciting enough.🙂

I've had my eye on this plane for years, beautiful plane and great flying 'kid'! Thanks for sharing...love it

@JonsRC 2 года назад

Thanks! We actually bought this new from one of the RC pilots in our club two years ago. He bought it new from Tower Hobbies some years back but he said that he never had time to even take it out of the box! So we bought it for less than half the retail price! We put in our own electronics and motor and she was flying the following weekend!

@weofnjieofing Год назад

You have a good engine guy at your field. His advice was top notch. Many people go off nitro because they don’t know how to tune them or “listen” for lean (dull, nasaly sound with throttle advance quoting) vs rich( sluggish, spluttering burbling sound) Having this knowledge from an experienced nitro dude means you can really enjoy nitro for years with minimal reliability issues. Great flying though and hope to see you get more nitro planes in the air!!

@JonsRC Год назад

Thanks! The “engine guy” is actually the President of our Flying club! He has helped many nitro newbies, including myself, tune their first nitro planes!

The Nitro Eng sound is High End sound when you play with it......😂

@rztrzt 2 года назад

I forgot how good the nitro planes sound compared to all this new electric stuff.

@JonsRC 2 года назад

I do love electrics but when I’m trying to learn or perfect a maneuver, nothing beats nitro or gas. I can fly for 10+ minutes, land, refuel and take off again!

@timbacchus 2 года назад

Back in the old days we had planes and motors like this and no way to control them we trimed them to fly straight and level hand launched them and then got in the car to chase them until they crashed.

@JonsRC 2 года назад

Wow! I have never heard of that! That sounds so cool though!

@@JonsRC It's called Free Flight. Trimming to fly straight is a bit unusual though. Here's an old but great video produced by the AMA. It does a great job of explaining and portraying Free Flight. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-In921Qx5FlQ.html

Escapade is a great little plane and the engine is pulling beautiful! Not going lean on the upline. I've been flying glow since I was 9 years old, I'm 75 now and still running my glow's :):):)

@BluecollarPodcast1776 Год назад

Question. I got a plane with a glow what fuel does it run on?

@robertcovell2787 Год назад

@@BluecollarPodcast1776 I am assuming you mean a glow engine ... it runs on glow fuel.

@BluecollarPodcast1776 Год назад

@@robertcovell2787 ok thank you! I know it’s a really stupid question for me to ask 😂 it’s like me buying a left handed hammer

@robertcovell2787 Год назад

@@BluecollarPodcast1776 If you are not familiar with the operation of a glow engine I strongly advise you to seek competent help. Glow engines are reliable when properly tuned but you can't do it with a left handed hammer. Also fuel tank position is rather critical.

@Bizzon666 Год назад

@@BluecollarPodcast1776 Absolutely seek help. I have watched nitro guys many times, I'm an engineer with good theoretical expertise in this field, I've read and watched about it on internet a lot, and I still needed few advices from experienced nitro guys to fly my nitro plane for the first time. But to answers your question, glow fuel is always methanol with about 20% oil, and optionally some nitromethane. Methanol can be substituted with ethanol, oil can be castor or synthetic or mix of both, nitromethane adds power and makes the motor easier to tune.

Great video I’m an Rc car guy thinking of getting a nitro plane and I noticed you weren’t using an air filter, do planes not need them like cars? Thanks

@JonsRC Год назад

Thanks! Honestly, we’ve never seen anyone in the field use them for their nitro planes. For cars running in the dirt, it makes sense but for airplanes in the air probably not so much. I guess on some planes where the nitro motor is oriented towards the ground it would make sense. Again, we are new to nitro planes and the field Admin who helped us build it never mentioned the air filter.

@blackimp4987 2 месяца назад

0:16 NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER turn the propeller with the plug igniter on. NEVER! if you want to keep your finger on your hand. NEVER do it. FIRST you turn the propeller with NO igniter, for loading some fuel into carburator, THEN you mount the igniter and from that moment, you turn the propeller for starting the engine.

@BBearBuilds Год назад

Can you recommend a good starter plane ?? I have nitro trucks. Thanks !

@JonsRC Год назад

The best starter RC plane is either the E-flite Apprentice or the E-flite AeroScout. I have flown both and love both of them. The AeroScout is more docile but the Apprentice is much bigger and much easier to tell orientation.

@davidking3918 Год назад

I love all my nitro engines and enjoy running them sound and love the smell of Benol racing oil that I add to my planes and weed eater for me that winds back the clock to early 90s when I learned how to fly on a sig lt40 with sig nitro fuel il take that any day os engines are far best in my book might try couple electrics never had any in my hanger.for me a good day of nitro flying and cleaning my planes after is very rewarding and I do have my old os46fx has 6 to 7 years of flying every day still runs amazing.good flight sharp plane you have.

@JonsRC Год назад

I love both electrics and nitro. I learned on an electric but I definitely get the appeal of nitro! The smell, the sound and I can fly 3 times longer than on electric! It’s awesome when I want to practice a maneuver over and over again!

@davidking3918 Год назад

@@JonsRC your an excellent flyer and fun to watch fly.most at my flying feild fly electric planes.but like you say really can't beat the impression of the glow engines sometimes can be alittle tricky to set up but we will eventually get it right and lots of fun flying and longer flights happy Easter and happy flying
