@ModelAV8RChannel
@ModelAV8RChannel 2 года назад
Martyn the Dynam Albatros is actually a great flyer...not many fly them well though if you get my drift. They have to be balanced well...a lot of folks trying them tail heavy and that doesn't go well with WWI planes. Also they have to be turned using rudder more than aileron...and that isn't something a lot or rc pilots are good at unfortunately...its not a good plane for a "bank n yank" pilot so to speak. All that said...Dynams are very cheaply made and require a lot of modeling to make them right, and a lot of times the electronics are poo...

I have the Great Planes 3 channel that I have had for well over 20 years. It flys very good for just having rudder. The whole plane is the purple and green paint scheme. Having the 280 motor to start with, I converted to 3S brushless and I love that plane more than ever.

Completely enjoyable video my friend! First, you scored big time when you married Heidi! She's a true artist if ever there was one and her mastery of colors and shades is just amazing! The paint job is just spectacular...literally. I really enjoyed your detailed look at the flying wires, and the scale flight was just the icing on the cake! I'm really liking how you go into a real discussion about the use of rudder...a lost art in today's world for sure. So many RC pilots just try to mix that in, and the reality is you can't mix different airspeeds! Or wind conditions for that matter. All in all a very fun viddy...top notch! Looking forward to next week's installment from Team Gault!

Hey John thank you so much man! Yes sir...I hit the jackpot with Heidi. Being artistic is just one of the many things she is awesome at. Such a wonderful woman...an angel really. I'm a grateful, blessed man. Yeah man...rudder skills are not something most of the newer rc pilots coming up today are mastering. Heck man some of the old guard don't use rudder. I know guys that have flown 20 years or more...they still punch n pray on every takeoff, and only use rudder to taxi. It is such a basic skill...every brand new 40 hour private full scale pilot learns how to coordinate turns, slip, skid, etc. I have guys look at me slipping a Cub and think that is magic...lol. Anyway buddy...take care and I'm looking so forward to hanging with you in a couple of months!

@Grahame59 2 года назад
Excellent video. I had this Albatros a while back and it's a great little plane. I subsequently sold it to a friend who, like Heidi, gave it a full repaint. Both my friend and I delight in transforming ARTF warbirds into something on a different level, just and you and Heidi have done here. We also extensively weather them, using reference photos to make sure the effect is just right and not overdone. As you say, it elevates the whole flying experience. You mention differential coming in in the late 30s. I would respectfully point out that the DH82a Tiger Moth had differential from its launch in 1931.The ailerons had approx double the upward movement compared to the downward movement. But it goes even further back…, the DH60 Moth (the Tiggie's predecessor) had differential in 1925! I believe it was de Havilland who actually patented the use of differential, a British invention back in the 20s! Totally agree with your comments on rudder though… I too lead the turn with rudder and continue to use it throughout the turn on all my model biplanes (with differential too of course!). Greetings from the UK. Grahame
@ModelAV8RChannel
@ModelAV8RChannel 2 года назад
Hey Grahame! Man thanks for watching and really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the history on differential my friend...I did not research it as extensively as I could have. Actually not at all for this video...lol. I have done a ton of research in the past on WWI planes and knew they didn't have it yet, and just went with knowing the J-3 didn't have it in the late 30's. I'm glad to know...and not a bit surprised to find De Havilland invented differential. They made some amazing planes, and the most beautiful airliner ever in the Dragon Rapide (some may argue Concord...good choice too). Thanks for watching Grahame and the valuable info! I really appreciate your comments my friend!

First, interesting Aircraft, don't see those a lot comparatively. Great paint scheme, and Heidi's wood grain and engine detail work I think is the crowning Jewel of the model's beautiful scale look and FEEL. Good comments about using rudder; first three years of flying I just used rudder mix with my ailerons and only used left stick for throttle! But then came my first Eflite Maule and I decided to learn to fly more scale and more effectively using no rudder mix and doing it all manually. Also cool what you said about flight enjoyment from working with and personalizing a model; it brings the model to a new level of beauty in appearance and or performance, which is very satisfying and I will say even forms s bit of an extra bond between RC Pilot and Airplane...
@ModelAV8RChannel
@ModelAV8RChannel 2 года назад
Thank you Mark! Very well written comment...you get it buddy. Something about the plane/pilot experience is enhanced when you make yours different from all the others. Heidi's talents never cease to amaze me. She transformed that plane. WWI planes are not the most popular genre for sure, but I love everything about them. I love the history and the result when you get one set up to fly scale, and then use pure flying skills to fly it well. Icing on the cake.

On scratch built models from plans, we just used elastic thread to simulate the flying wires, but these were balsa plywood, and hardwood models covered with silk and painted with Aerogloss Dope. The springs look like they would create a lot of drag.
@ModelAV8RChannel
@ModelAV8RChannel 6 месяцев назад
The springs just make removal easy when you have to invariably tighten the elastic thread when it loosens. The springs are tiny, and worrying about drag on a WWI sesquiplane is like thinking a diet coke will offset the calories in a Big Mac meal, Lol.

Hi Adam the wires are cool and will be adding wires to pitts ive found all parts you used. The wires be screwed in plastic apart from conect ing tail feathers to rudder. Don't want dig into feathers if can't help it they be to thin I think. So the jewelry tabs once bent could I just do slit place it in slit tight and then fill slit with foam tac to seal it up and hold it in place would that work or would need to put tabs on wood as you did. Was also good paint work gave me some tips cheers Adam

Thanks for watching and the kind words...fun labor of love! Awesome you have one...great flyers as is the SE5A they made. The prop is a Xoar WWI scimitar 12 x 6. I've watt metered it several times in differing wx conditions and the highest reading I got was 33 amps with it. Not enough over to be an issue really but I programmed a throttle curve limiting full throttle to 94% as I fly it scale so that is still more than I really need. (The esc is a 30 amp btw). I get the props at "Just Model Props". Happy flying!
