Mini Plane
Robert Bromwich replied to Alex Brodie's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Hi david have'nt had chance to flt mine again yet (weather and work) but hopefully will soon Have just ordered the hawker typhoon so can't wait for that to come girlfriend getting it me for christmas but i'm sure i can get around her so i can start it before hand. Is there anything Tony had wished he had changed on his typhoon build before i get around to starting mine ,just thought i would ask?? Have'nt got any petrol(glow) planes or heli's i find them to messy and electric to me is a lot better and easy to do Rob -

Mini Plane
Robert Bromwich replied to Alex Brodie's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Hi Frank flies lovely she is not twitchy and is as stable as any of the other planes i fly ,easy to land etc shouldn't be a problem to any intermediate flyer's (if i can fly and land it anyone should be able to) just a thought for you if when you have finished building if you find you cant get the balance right how about using 2 x 3200 3 cell lipos ,so keep it on 11.1v but you will double your flight times 10 mins full !?! of course you would have to see what the weight differance was but could work i am using the DX7 tranny and what a system that is ,it's great All i can say is when you have built and flown this plane you will fall in love with it and want to fly it all the time like me !! ,it's no wonder Sig have been making this model for 30 years Rob -
Mini Plane
Robert Bromwich replied to Alex Brodie's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Hi Frank Looks like you have got it all sorted I've only used motocalc a few times and like you said works great but i like trying to work it all out myself gives me a good challenge and for the planes i have done this on i seem to be getting it about right my mini plane has a 11 x 5.5 Apc which gives me 777watts @ 35amps i have come to the conclusion that instead of dead weight in the front i might as well have power this is why i have it on 6 cells so have no weight in front at all gives me vertical so takes off in about 10 foot on grass if that Have done the same with a ripmax spitfire i have, instead of weight i used 2 x 3cell 2.2a in it so gives me 10 mins flights at full power but have flown it for 15 mins as flies at half power like scale speed When you have started it please post some pics Have you thought about final pattern yet ?

Mini Plane
Robert Bromwich replied to Alex Brodie's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Hi Frank yes i have gone electric and have uploaded a picture of what i did to get the batterys in. I tried it the way you say you are doing it and could'nt get C of G right and also could'nt fix the batterys down without alot of trouble but i have got the single servo for the ailreons so that was in the way where you will not have, the way i have done it no taking of wings takes me a couple of mins to change them so thats ok for me Q: What motor are you putting in it ?? Are you using 3 cell lipo ? just saying that about lipo as will only have 11.1v for a 5 1/2 IB plane Rob -

hi David ,very nice article yep your right it's electric, used a himodel 4130 on 6 cells which gives me 777watts so loads of power couldn't believe it when i opened my new RCME mag and there this great plane was as i have only just finished building it and maidened it last Saturday lovely flying plane Spats i soldered a washer onto the landing gear and then drilled holes in the spats and washers at the same time .
