Welcome to the next chapter in our RC B-58 Hustler build series! In this video, we dive deep into the heart of the build and focus on the installation and testing of the Schubeler EDF propulsion systems, bringing the B-58 much much closer to liftoff. We also conduct extensive taxi tests, revving up the fans for the first time to unleash this B-58's full power and get a taste of what's to come when we take to the skies. There is tons of work wrapped up in this one, but we are that much closer to getting this B-58 Hustler flying now!
Thank you to Brock Slagle of Bluesky Filmworks for helping film during the taxi test and to Mike Hines for the image used for the thumbnail!

Can't wait to see her fly. One of the most beautiful designs in aviation history. I used to see them fly by at low level over my grandpa's Kansas farm back in the 60s. Kudos to you for taking this on. I have learned so much from your channel.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thanks! That’s all still in work. The weight is a bit heavier than I had hoped unfortunately, but haven’t fully finalized cg and all that yet.

@eaglekeeper7737 Год назад

Thanks for the hatch tip. Also I like the size of your jet. Not , everything has to be giant scale to be a good competition jet.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Glad it was helpful! I’m of the same mind that it doesn’t have to be giant to be scale. I’ve won a couple scale masters comps both with smaller models compared to the rest of the field.

@Sluf7 Год назад

That is truly an Epic peice of kit Chris just amazing and as the other guys have said the detail is mind blowing. Mind you for the Comp ya entering it has to be. The Schubies it looks like awesome power AVIALIABLE and even with Weapons Pod on not going to worry it and I suspect it will be surprisnly Fast. Some good usable tips there to I can apply to some stuff have on the go. One of them being a JHH COUGAR kit I just acquired. The purchase date was wait for it 1980. On talking with Larry he thinks it was one of the first production batch. It,s a true builders kit the fuse is in excellent condition everything else built up and I intend to have all bells and whistles as should be able to build lighter with modern gear and materials. Hence paying close attention to what you are using why and how. Yes 90mm Schubie for go power. Looking forward to the Flight Vid and Finishing vid as well. Be well fly lots. ;0)

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thank you! You’re going to love the cougar, they fly sweet! My dad has a 90mm inlet set of it too, in the event you haven’t already ordered a set. It definitely sounds like it would be from the first batch of it was originally bought in 1980. Has the kit been started at all? Oh, my dad also has a laser cut wood set for it too which helps save some build time cutting parts. 😊

@Sluf7 Год назад

No she is not started pure Virgin Kit. Yeah had a chat by email with Larry advised what is available now and then bought up postage to the bottom of the world. I will decide a bit later if get the wood kit and ducting or make it here. Yeah mates 1/4 Panther fly,s like a trainer. When ya look at the Cougar the Wing and Fuselage area is Huge. Am going to photo copy plans as to good to cut up . I am on the hunt for someone heading to the U,S. At some point which Larry suggested. Anyhoo let's be cracking on the B58 ;0)

She seems good to go. Can you show us the final painting/some clips perhaps? Looking forward to the first flight.

@Thercgeek Год назад

The next installment in the series will be paint and weathering. I’ll be away for a good portion of May which means that will likely post beginning of June. That said, I’m planning a live stream for this Friday that will be a soft reveal of the current state of the airplane as I’m painting it now.

@Sep141 Год назад

those are some fancy-ass EDFs :D i can only afford the cheap amazon ones for my scratchbuilds, but i suppose with as much love as you're pouring into the hustler only the best motors makes sense!

@jamesbrown7758 Год назад

Super cool Chris! I wish I were there to see it in person. Weren’t you just a little tempted to let her loose? I’m looking forward seeing you start the painting process.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Maybe tempted a little, but she wasn’t 100% ready as I still need to work out fastening the batteries and the cg. So, that kept me grounded. 😉

@UDX-59Z Год назад

So very cool. Love the afterburner flicker...very realistic. Have you thought of converting the Schubeler fans over to actual turbines similar to the ones used on the SR-71 you featured on a video 4 years ago?

@Thercgeek Год назад

I thought of going turbines originally but going to stick with the edfs for the time being. Turbines get pretty spendy pretty quick.

@kirkvw-1961 Год назад

My compliments on your detail, especially the flared wing tips. Do you plan on including the bomb pod located on the bottom of the fuselage? Great work!

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thank you! I do have the belly pod and am hoping to fly with it when the time comes. It’s mounted now and working on paint

@mikenowland2739 Год назад

It’s looking good there Geekster 👍 Thought you would Howard Hughes it and lift it of on the taxi test 😀

@Thercgeek Год назад

Nah, it was close to ready, but not fully. High speed taxis can resort in unwanted flight, so kept it below flying speed. 😆

@raptornest1346 Год назад

You should do the maiden before painting, just saying. - making popcorn 🍿 😋

@Thercgeek Год назад

I considered it, but want to travel to a field with a longer runway for the maiden, so based on those logistics figured I’d finish it up first. if nothing else we’ll get some sweet pictures at least. 😆

@TractorMan104 Год назад

One of the sexiest airplanes ever!

@mtacoustic1 Год назад

Before your first flight with your beautiful creation, I would suggest building a (crude) trainer, roughly the same size, shape and weight, out of something like foam board and flying the heck out of it. I've found this much reduces first flight jitters; kind of like quality time in a full scale simulator pilots of the real thing have.

@Thercgeek Год назад

Thanks for suggestion. That would nice, but I don’t really have time based on when the contest is. I have flown a lot of delta winged jets with varying wing loadings though, so that helps.

@lw216316 Год назад

This got a thumb up even before I watched it. Wow! The afterburners, the parachute, and the torque on those 4 motors on rev up....can't wait to see this bird fly ! Is the chute to scale.....and do you think it has scale stopping power ?

@Thercgeek Год назад

The chute is scale, but I don’t anticipate it’ll have a ton of effect in reality. You can scale down the airplane, but you can’t scale down the air and the speeds at landing are a fraction of what they were on the full scale. Sure does look cool though! The model has brakes too which are quite effective, so that helps.

@PoochAndBoo Год назад

Make room on your shelf for the trophies.

@Animal1290 Год назад

As usual, inspiring work ! I'm in love with this aircraft, and I plan on doing one myself, but slightly bigger, for 100mm fans. Do you have some references for documentation ?

@Thercgeek Год назад

For the drawings, this model is based off of the drawings in the famous aircraft of the world number 64. There are some really nice drawings in that one. If it helps, I did a live stream a while back talking about that here: ru-vid.comdQrhOASNr4A?feature=share

@richw0123 Год назад

This is so cool! I'm building the Revell 1/48 kit, I've rescribed it and will foil cover it instead of Alclad, I will turn new seamless intakes, shock cones and the rear gun fairing from aluminum. I have been wanting to build a PSS B-58 too and figured the best start is a 3D model of it, my research found that many of the drawings found online are based on the inaccurate Italeri kit where the overall length of the plane is too short as they included the length of the pitot tube in the fuselage length. Other drawings don't have the distinct drooped nose in the under fuselage contors around the nose. Are you drawings available anywhere? Thanks!

@Thercgeek Год назад

Very cool! Should look great in the foil tape. That’s Not an easy process. For the drawings, this model is based off of the drawings in the famous aircraft of the world number 64. There are some really nice drawings in that one.

@Thercgeek Год назад

I have done both glow ducted fan and turbine projects. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to glow, but I’ll probably revisit turbines at some point. I’ve ended up leaning electric due to not having a local field I could fly turbines at and the cost.
