many thanks bob will try that. the engine seems to idle and throttle ok but fi i fly at about half throttle the engine suddenly seems to throttle down a bit after a couple of mins. then it wont throttle up again unless i reduce power to idle first. any ideas anyone?
-
I am having problems setting up my thunder tiger 42. can anyone help? i am told that the carburettor is of a different type and i dont know which of the apparent adjusters is the idle setting. I have tried to find a manual on line with no success.
-
think i will have to order one of these, always liked the hurricane. was going to get the new e flight one but its nearly 4 times the price. whats wrong with the music on the video by the way? its from the film battle of britain so quite appropriate i think.

Hi olllie, welcome from me. another ex biker like yourself. sold my last bike when i started getting scared and soft in my old age. I had an arttech cessna and found it to be a good flyer. you can get spares from century uk and there service is very good. i think they have a web site. good luck with this wonderfull hobby.

i found it easier tp plank some parts of the fuselege and booms as you say there are some very tight curves. have you decidedwhat power train and prop size you will be using?
-
i am attempting to build one but i cannot find in the article any sizes for either the two or three bladred prop. any ideas anyone please.
-
i am by no means an expert on electric flight but my understanding s that the esc is working harder at low throttle than full. this is because the esc only supplys full power, but at low throttle settings it is constantly switching on and off wheras at full throttle it is just switched on. this is what generates heat. hope this helps
-
A cert for me. its a requirement to fly at my club. think its a good idea myself.
-
flew it again today, boy this thing is fast but flew better now the ailerons calmed down. you have to keep it moving fast and it looses hight in the turns if you arent carefull but other than that its fine.
-
many thanks for that. will try a 6 pitch first.
-
does anyone know what size prop is fitted to the e-flight p40 300 size please as i have broken both ones supplied with the model and i cannot see a size stamped on it or anywhere in the manual.
-
i noted there was an old thread on here about the nijhus mig 25. i recently maidened my build and also found it to be nose heavy. i moved the cg about 10 mm backwards and found it much better, although it is very fast and i had to calm the ailerons down as it was lightening fast in roll. hoping to try it again soon when work and weather allows.

i live in march cambs, and fly at ramsay model aero club. for anyone who knows the site it is one of the best in the country. i am able to rub shoulders with some of the best known scale modellers including his lordship mick reeves.
-
new to the site so just to say hi to all. been flying about 5 years. I have a mix of ic and electric. mostly scale artf but i recently built a cannard from an old plan. model world i think, sorry. lol after a couple of dodgy flights, i now have the cg spot on and it is a lovely stable flyer. it has me wanting to try more building.
-
many thanks. i will look at both of these. i already have turbocad but was really looking for an aircraft specific one if there is such a thing.
-
this seems a bit strange to me as i have four of these batteries. three of wich are at least three years old and have done hundreds of flights. i think they are excellent value for money. hope this helps
-
does anyoneknow of a safe free cad software as i want to try my hand at some own designs?

Lockheed Constellation ARTF?
Cliff Bastow replied to Cliff Bastow's topic in Scale and Semi-Scale kits
thanks for the info. i seem to remember seeing one in a report on a show in rcme and the article stated it was to be made into a kit but cant find the article now. -
does anyone know where i can purchase a kit or artf of the lockheed constellation?
