3m wingspan depron scratch build C-130 Maiden flight
Ben-Erik Ness replied to Ben-Erik Ness's topic in The Video Channel
Yes, you are right. However I want to be able to take off from grass... and with a 10kg fat boy I need some power. She flew nicely on 50% throttle. I also have to adjust flaps travel somewhat, when I decided go round she tipped forward when I applied full power. That has to be solved. In the event that I want to go around just before setting her on the runway, it could turn out nasty... -
After 17 months in the production facility it was time to maiden my huge C-130. Scratch built from mostly depron, with some reinforcement in wing and fuselage. Glassed and hand painted. 4 x brushless 3548 on 4S lipos. This time the design is by Julius Perdana, however with major alterations: retractable landing gear and full set of flaps Flew great too!

I have had questions on where I have obtained the paper-model drawings. They are in to be found in this link: https://only-paper.ru/load/aviacija_iz_bumagi/passazhirskij_samolet_iz_bumagi/boeing_737_200_pan_am_varig_rp_model/142-1-0-20419 However I struggled with the download, so I have added the file here too.

Ben-Erik Ness started following Indoor XXL Boeing 737-200 180cm wingspan

My scratch built, all depron Boeing 737-200 airliner now has decals and looks more like the jetliner many might have flown as a youngster! 180cm wingspan and 527 grams flying weight. I'd be happy to receive comments and a like and subscribe to my channel 😉

You can easily make such a model by following the steps described on top of this thread. All lies in trial and error... The way I have done it is by combining upscaled paper-aircraft plan, and matched it with a 3W drawing from Boeing at the size I wanted to build it at. You need to be capable of using a simple drawing software. The wings are made in a more traditional way, using a Clark Y profile. It's not difficult, but this is my third indoor airliner, so I have gained some experience... 😉 I have also made a contraption that I use for splitting 3mm depron in two..

Well, I know that perfectly well. Have traded with modellers all over the world, never had a problem... Lesson learnt - the hard way! I will however contact admins and try to get him banned from this site! -

Damn it I have been scammed 🤑 I was contacted in a PM by the user ruimarinho and he/she told me a Gordon Roberts had a wing panel matching the one I searched for, giving me his email [email protected] for me to contact him. Well, I was so happy I got reckless, and PayPalled the money as family and friends, since that was one of his contitions. At this point I should have pulled the plug... So that was 180 USD up in smoke. Any body know any of these skumbags? Posts -
