Caveman Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, but just for Fly Boy 3, here's a video of the maiden flight of my latest build. I happened to have a couple of OS FP10s doing nothing so built a twin plane to accommodate them. It doesn't end well, but it's now fully repaired and I will try again!

dirk tinck Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi all !! Because it has to stay on the shelf for at least 8 months (PSSA mass build weekend in May 2021),i can't wait to show it !! It's a N/A F86 sabre used by the Italian aerobatic team in the fifties ''Cavalino Rampante ''. The 1/10 scale model is build from a balsa/ply short kit for the PSSA 2020 mass build. The model has working speed brakes ,built-in gun ports , working nav-lights ,a releasable canope with working eject seat + shute. She's glassed and painted with automotive spray cans.Decals are vinyl. x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil James Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Made the maiden flight of my new TopmodelCZ Fascination on the slope in very light winds. Wingspan 3.6m, weight 3.2Kg, MVVS 4.6 motor. Around half throttle used to get away then achieved a 40 minute flight using only 25% battery . Very happy with it.

Peter Miller Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Well after two weeks work it is finished. Miss Camomile.

Paul Marsh Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Picked this up today, for £150, has a new SC 90 FS in it, all servos, Life battery, electric retracts, oleos. etc. Said he has flown it 50 times, but looks brand new, even the engine is clean. Ran the engine in, and nothing to do on it, just set it up... It's a VQ 60 size Hurricane. not the best scheme, but for a sport model ok, and they do fly ok, as I have the .46 winter camo one.

Chris Walby Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 One of the guys at the field remarked he like the look of someone's else's delta. The owner offered to make a couple so I said why not. He then contacted me and asked while he was assembling the other did I want mine built, hey if its no trouble, thanks. Real ARTF..just added RX, set throws up and 50mm of Velcro, some permanent marker and pilot, job done for less than it costs to fill a very small car up! maiden went well and apparently the streamers are ready....He never said anything about combat!

Alve Hansson Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 My Extra 260 flies very well with NGH GT25 and 17X8 APC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Miss Camomile could be calming. First flights today. Takes off like a rocket. Flies beautifully However the rates may be a little higher than the novice would use because it does rudder/elevator rolls which are pretty axial and can be improved. It will also fly inverted very nicely and all those on a 6X4 APC prop. It tears the sky up on a 2321 2050 motor turning a 7X4 APC prop and a 3s 1300 battery.

Glad you like it Paul, Engine has just been off for new bearings and a clean that will be it's first run since. I do like to keep them nice mate, it should just be a case of sticking a receiver on and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Quite a few this time, bought as a job lot, very cheap with other stuff, basically 100's of pounds of gear for peanuts, these are the aircraft. there was also a battered Radjet, which still could fly but has expensive bits in it... All models had rx's in them, plus spare. Mini Skyfun 2 Ripmax Axion deltas/ Cloud fly - Bixler clone Club trainer, electric model from HK 3 Ripmax trainers, all gear, 2 are flyable, one OS40la and a Irvine 40 red.
