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!

One year since maiden, and now we have been back to the indoor football venue, having a great time. Did 8 flights with the 737.

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.

At last, flights with fully functional flaps! Now I just have to dial in my landings to be like the last one in the video!

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 😉

Hope you like it. I just love flying this bird. Next time hopefully with functional flaps too... It needs to fly a tad slower turning final!

It's ready for it's first flight in the Braathens SAFE livery form the 1960's I use water-slide decals, made on my own inkjet printer at home. I'm confident that the extra weight is less than 10 grams!

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..

It has flown again, and it could have ended with disaster, as one of the cheap, small servos decided to burn at max deflection in mid air... Decals are printed and ready to go on, so next time it flies it will hopefully look the part 🙂

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

This is the plane in question 🙂

Looks like my search has to continue 🤫

I have been able to source the part needed, thanks to several of you guys reading this 🙂 Thanks!
