    I relly love to get one of those Percival but beside the servos I'm also confused by the engine requirement. I like to get on the petrol band wagon and I wos tinking ti get an crrc pro g26cc on the nose. According to the 4 stroke size stated 1.25 to 150 and assuming the petrol engine has the same power than a 4 stroke the 26 should be fine. I than checked with one of the UK retailer and I've been told that the 26cc is too small and I should go for a evolution 30. Beside I cannot afford the evolution right now is this engine too big or the 2 stroke petrol is less powerfull of a 4 stroke glow??   Regards,   Federico

    Hi, I''ve several models all in the 40/60 size range and I''ve standardised the futaba s3001 for all of them with good success. I''m looking in a bigger model now, kinda the new segull mew gull or alike, and I was wondering if there is a simple way to select the right sevo torque size. Will be usefull if the kit/artf manufacturer would state a minimum size and torque requirement for the servos like the do already for engines. Thanks. Regards, Federico

    Hi,   I got a VQ macchi 205 fitted with hobbyking retract and Vq oleos. The plane has only a couple of flight and on the second landing in very windy condition I run out of rinway and finished off on long grass and the plain flipped over. I was sure, afer all the poor report about artf landing gear supports, to have a major failure there. I was wrong, both legs got the 5mm steel joint bent but no visible damage was found on the 1/2" hardwood rail. Only time will tell but I have to say I was very surprised (and happy) to see a 5mm steel part give in while the wood did not suffer. reading trough old treds I know this was not always the case showing that even relatively cheap ARTF manufacturers can improve their product if they care. Well done VQ!   Regards,

    Hi Andy,   Have you ever finished your  109? I like to see it and have your feedback on flight performance. I've finished my macchi and had a couple of flight. I'm very please with it and my new and already discontinued os 70 fl looks to be the perfect match in both power and weight achieving the correct cg without any lead required. The model looks good and nobody knows the real thing so most of the non scale features are going undetected! See a couple of pictures.   Regards,  Federico     Edited By Phil Wood - Moderator on 17/06/2009 13:46:38

    Hi Andy, happy tho hear that the 109 is still on the pipeline. I was thinking to go for a separate retract battery too but I do not know how to wire it. Could you please explain this to me. Thanks, Regards, Federico

    Hi Jeff, happy to be of help. As I'm more or less in the same boat of your regard my flying esperience I'm practiceing on a precedent fun fly and on a Dave Smith Saphir. I'll not try to fly any scalelike birds without a good low winger esperience, will be a shame to damage the 109 not for a very good reason! Good day. Federico

    Hi Jeff, I do not know if Andy is still tuned in but I give you my opinion on the set up especially as I'm using the same gear for my VQ Macchi in the pipeline. First of all I'm a Futaba man so I normally go for futaba servos. Apart my helis I use cheap 3001 servos for all my planes. Not having any 3d or big models the 3001 is up to the job all the time. You will need four of them. If you go for the retract option you need a specific retract servo. I got a cirrus cs 503r/bb but I have not use it yet so I can comment on it. If money was not an issue I would probabily go for a futaba dual conversion 8ch(35MHz) rx but since that money is an issue I found the 8 ch dual conversion corona sysntetiser units very reliable and I'm planning to use one of this unit. If you go for retract I will consider to use a 6V battery pack but be very carefull not to bind the retract servo. Motor wise I got an OS fl 70 but again I have it still in the box and I cannot comment on it. For a peace of mind cheaper set up I'll reccomand an Irvine 46. I hope this help. Regards, Federico

    Hi guys, I sent a reply to this new blog yeasterday but I must have done something wrong.. I've bought from hobbystore the VQ macchi c-205 in the grey new camo. It took a wie to get this particolar color and I had to go all the way back to the VQ owner Vinh Quang in Vietnam to get infos about it. VQ is the manufacturer and Air Loisir is only one of the main distributors. The VQ models are aroud a good bit but expecially the older one had some quality issue now resolved. Vihn look like a nice guy and it is keen to improve the model rather than change only the covering colors. A good example is the BF-109 in Andy's blog, if you check the airelons in the new summer camo version from strip type have been change to scale type. I think this is a good indication of attention put into this planes. The overall scale apperance is quite good but in the macchi there are few things that can be improved. The model is sold as macchi c-205 on the box there are two pictures for the two camo colors, one is a c-202 and the other one is a fiat g-55 centauro!!! The model itsel look like the c-202 with the color of the fiat. As I've got an OS 70FL for the macchi I'm looking forward to Andy blog to see the way his similar engine is going to go in expecially the muffler. So Andy good luck with the build and keep us updated with loads of pictures. Regards, Federico
