Successful maiden flight this evening off the Great Orme. Unfortunately the second flight ended in a stall and dropped a wing. So a few repairs required already. Hopefully the pilot & the plane will be ready for the mass build meet in September.

The plan shows 165mm behind F4 (safe but nose heavy). Most of the flying Sabres are now set to 172mm behind F4 for a more neutral position.
Set the tailplane incidence to the same angle as the wing, eg 0:0.
4lb 2oz is a good weight.
Great, thanks Martin.

Almost done. This is my first PSSA build. It’s nowhere near the standard of some of you guys. It looks ok from 6 ft away…? Hope it’s not too heavy @4lb 2oz. Can someone remind me of the CofG location please.

My 3d printed pilot and seat have just arrived. Need to decide which head to use and then chop his legs off...

Hi Andy, Yes I do, just near the Obelisk that you pass on the A470\A55. You'd think I'd be flying off the Orme every week, but due to family & work commitments I don't get to fly much.
-
Slow progress, but at least it looks like a Sabre now..

This Plane can also be found in a Yellow scheme. The plane in its yellow scheme flew alongside the first 747 flight in February 1969. But I prefer the red & white scheme.

I hope so, but this is my first plan build in many years.
I haven't really thought about that yet.

I'm just about to place my order. I'd like to use the Boeing chase plane scheme. Its the Red, White & Black scheme on N8686F.

If anyone is still interested, i'm building one from www.parkjets.com

I've just put standard servos in, as you can see from the Photo I managed to get the single servo in the wing working fine. (Thanks to Peter's Drawing for the linkage). Spektrum AR7000 receiver + BEC off the 40A ESC.
This is also my first attempt at Electric, so I've based my purchase's on the model weight. Put a Cyclon 22 (http://www.cyclonbrushless.com/) on the front with 3s/2200 Lipo.
Will need to cut a hole in F2 for the Lipo and push right back to F3 to balance the CofG.

This is my first 'Off Plan' Build, going OK after Two Weeks. The wife thinks I've moved into the Garage,
.Waiting for a Lipo to arrive in the post before so I can sort out the CofG before going much further.

2020 PSSA Mass Build - Sabre - The Completed Model Thread!
in PSSA Mass Build 2020 - North American F-86 Sabre
Posted
My F86 is based on a Canadair CL-13B Sabre Mk.6, N8686F. The plane was used by Boeing as a chase plane and flew alongside the first 747 flight in February 1969.
As this has been my first PSSA build, I followed everybody’s build blog’s and found all your detailed explanations and photos really helpful, Thank you.
Its covered in glass cloth & sprayed with acrylic paint. Weight is 5lb with 100g in the nose to balance. 3d printed pilot from Andy Meade & homemade seat.
It’s just 2 channel with Ailerons & Elevator.
