Gents I'm seeking your knowledge, looking for a 40/50 ic size electric motor. What are your recommendations. I'm planning a tri motor JU52, the German transport aircraft with the corrugated skin.

Any help appreciated.

Thread: Paint bleed issues

08/07/2019 20:05:14

Chaps, need some help with the above. Despite my best efforts in masking the canopy frame of my lysander, after painting, I still find the paint has managed to bleed under the tape. I have tried a little thinners, some white spirit, even isopropyl alcohol and even resorted to trying to scrape the dried paint off with a modelling knife....nothing has worked...any help greatly appreciated.

Chaps, any of you have any experience in making a plaster mould from any existing canopy in order to make a new canopy. Advice needed.

Thread: JU 52

That looks good Karl. I don't understand what you mean by cut-off half the flutes and did you need to fill the ends of the card?

Thinking of building a ju52 over the winter, however, the big point is how to reproduce the corrugated skin.

So chaps, what's the best way to simulate the corrugation?

Motors are those recommended by T/N and 4max also the speed controllers too along with the props.
Batteries are turnigy nanotec 4000 4s.
It's a good set up with a reasonable amount of power.

Oops no pictures sorry. How do you post pictures?

11/03/2017 19:14:38

Thought you chaps might like to see my T/N mossie effort.
All as per plan, AUW 14.5lbs including 1.5lbs lead. Flew well on it's test flight, 2 years in the making.

Just a quick question, I am about to hook up my esc's to the rx.
Do I need to hook up each one separately or can I do them together?

31/03/2016 09:05:42

Alan, have you flown yours, and what's the AUW?

03/02/2016 14:48:28

Thanks for the quick reply, however can I expand this a little further and ask, are you useing one battery for both motors, or one for each? and are you using different speed controllers?

03/02/2016 09:09:07

Are you still going to use the zippy 5800s? as I see 4max are selling 3700s?

Thread: Don't just stand there, get one up!

07/06/2011 08:00:27

Danny don't be to concerned about the depth of the panel lines, they are going to "fill" a little more when your top coat goes on......however they can very easily be "brought back" when a little bit of "wash" or chalk dust...honest, its a walk in the park to highlight them.

Thread: E-Max Motors

14/02/2011 20:24:41

Chaps...wheres the best place you know of to get spare parts for Emax motors.

I have one of the large E-Max 160's which I have managed to snap the prop adaptor, and need a new one.

I am hoping one of you will know the best place to go to, as I don't have too much time to trawl every web site looking.

Can you help?

Cheers Guys.

Thread: Grumman Goose Retracts

24/01/2011 21:59:43

Gents

Have any of you, or you know of, someone who has built a set of retracts for a Grumman Goose seaplane?

I have in mind to build a model of the Goose and am at the research stage, but I keep running into problems when it comes to the U/C. I have a few pictures of the full size gear, but my engineering skills are some-what limited...so I was kind of wondering if you might know of someone that could help me out?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

Al.
