Hi, Having no success with the A10 iam now wondering which of the mini jets would be the best to build regarding hand launching and flying. Thank you for any suggestions.
-
I also need some advice regarding CG, hang angle. I have drilled a hole through the mast at the recommended CG and have inserted some string to hang the Panther, is this the correct method. At the moment the Panther is tail heavy at the moment.
-
In the process of building one as well, Could you be so kind as to say what specs regarding motor,esc,batt you have used.

Is that a Sig Wonder i can see sitting on your bench.

A bit off topic but this question is aimed at Rich. Finally got round to attaching my blades for my Panther and i have made a stupid mistake of making the blades so they turn clockwise. Save making a new set can i cut the blades down from 21/1/2 x 2/3/8 inch to 19/3/4 x 2/3/8 , Would this make a difference regarding lift. Thank you.

Hi, Just started cutting the wing
ribs but find it impossible to cut the ribs with the tab intact so i will have pack the trailing edge up when assembling the wing. The build is coming along fine and also started assembling the Nacelles.

Just about got all the formers cut so next will be cutting the fus sides and start to assemble the fus.

Hi, Anybody started building Tonys recent free plan the A10, I have started cutting the parts but it is rather intricate and time consuming
but its keeping me occupied now the winter draws ever closer. There is usually a video on Tonys website but not seen one regarding the A10.

Hi, Just been watching a earlier Panther vide regarding pitch and roll and i think i might be okay in fact maybe too much regarding roll.
-
Hi, Seems like i can only get the same for my roll which is about 10/15 degrees will this also be enough. I have used standard size MG servos
but they do not allow a lot of movement but i have just used a spare HS 81 mg for the rudder and have got a lot more movement. Thank you for any assistance.

Have i got enough up elevator, I would say about 10/15 degrees. Thank you

Looking at the picture i realised that it is not going to work.Can anybody reccomend a suitable replacement. Thank you

Hi, Found this in my junk box from some gearbox. would this be suitable for my Panther using a collet to secure the plate. Thank you.
-
okay, have finished the blades as stated on the plan. Thank you.

Nice video, Was hoping for a plan pretty soon but started on the Panther instead. Iam build the Panther from a plan issued a few years ago and was wondering if their is a update regarding the blades or should i stick to the original sizes on the plan. Don't want to hijack this thread so should i start and put my questions on the original Panther discussion. Best regards Glen.
-
Glad you said that the Panther would be okay as i have already got the parts cut and now ready to build. Thank you.

Hi, Still not had chance to fly the Cranefly due to weather, hopefully tomorrow but i have a plan for the Panther from a few years ago and was wondering if the Panther is the next step up. Thank you for any advice.

Going to get, hopefully a few more flights under my belt and then wondering what next to build as my next step up regarding Auto gyros.

Standard,

Hi, A little bit off topic but recently built the cranefly from Dear old Tom Wrights plans mainly from scrap balsa i had laying around and the only expense i incurred was the delta plate and bearing from coolwinds models. I had messed around trying to get the blades to spin to no avail but eventually succeeded by increasing the negative pitch. So this afternoon off i went with my fixed wing models and my Cranefly and really the conditions were not ideal with wind speed around 9/10 mph but it got to the point where i thought bugger it not got anything to lose so i let the blades spin up to what i thought was faster enough and then hand launched into wind and to my amazement the Cranefly flew. I did not do any trimming at all and just did 5/6 circuits left and right turns and then brought it into wind and brought it in for a perfect landing. Just to make sure it was not beginners luck i had a second flight and apart from being tossed around because the wind was picking up i then brought it in for another decent landing. So today i was a happy chap bringing it home in one piece and now will wait till there is better conditions before i try again. Just thought i would share my first Autogyro flight.

Fancy buying a quadcopter and was wondering if anybody can suggest which one. I don't want to take video or photos just want to fly round our flying field but would like a fpv regarding a monitor on the controller. Don't want to buy the cheap quads aiming at youngsters but would like one with attitude hold return to home and other various add ons. Basically one with out having to pay a arm and a leg for the advanced video, photo technology. Any ideas please.

Thank you guys for all of your comments, just waiting for the ball joints to arrive.

Hi, Just about finished my Panic but was wondering what kind of connection you use to join bottom aileron to the top aileron bearing in mind
that it will have to be disconnected after each flying session. I was going to use a clevise at one end but don't think after plenty of use it will stand up to constantly
being unclipped. Thank you

Hi, Never got that far regarding flying, made a right mess of the wing so scrapped the build altogether.
