Martian Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Your doing a nice job happy face ,as far as mine was concerned there were to many details off scale to try to correct it I understand it's a good flyer that looks good in the air i did consider the tailwheel position but as Percy says or infers its not worth it , keep going happy face it's whatever makes you happy ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyface 838 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Thanks for all of your comments, I've been thinking about the servo wiring and what a pain it would be when the wings are joined and covered. Did you use extensions and y lead or seperate channels for the ailerons, or maybe hard wired extensions to limit the number of connections?

Martian Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 I always hard wire extensions then connect to a y lead from rx but having said that I may have used a y lead on the wing for uc and ae on the Mustang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyface 838 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Thanks Martian, I was thinking the same for gear, flaps and ailerons, don't like the idea of connections where i can't get to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyface 838 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Almost ready for the maiden, I have relocated the servos to reinforced tail area as it was coming up nose heavy on the 6s setup.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyface 838 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yours flown yet Martian? Mine should tomorrow evening, weather permitting. Once that's out the way, it's time to make it pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyface 838 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I've had mine on the wattmeter today and it's pulling just shy of 62a, 1390w and 21v with the 12.8 x 8.5, 4 blade varioprop, so no shortage of oomph! Overkill maybe, but it's easier to throttle back then get more than maximum 😉 5.5kg static thrust WOT rtf auw is 2.6kg. Expecting flight times of 8-9 minutes with the reduced/ managed throttle.

Martian Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi Happyface as yet mine has not flown I have a tendency to be a prolific builder and non flyer that will have to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyface 838 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That’s a shame Martian, I test flew mine today and it flies beautifully, the deviation from the plans was obviously not detrimental and the newly positioned undercarriage is strong enough. Time to get the paint out 🤗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyface 838 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thanks martian, I am quite pleased with the result, a little disappointed with the yellow (different shades on cowl/covering) even though I used the same base colour. Still working out how to get the inner gear doors fitted and working, I have a very positive idea that will keep me out of the house and in the garage for a little longer. Time to enjoy its presence in the air now 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy pattinson Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hi Guys, I have just built one of the sfm Mustang kits and thoroughly enjoyed it so far, But i have a slight problem, i have lost the plans somehow and i am trying to get the thing balanced ready for flying, could any one tell me how far back from the leading edge the Cof G is please. Any help is much appreciated. Regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Downloadable instructions on Ripmax Andy C.G. The recommended Center of Gravity location is 105mm back from the leading edge against the fuselage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
