    CMPro Ventus

    in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi TJ

     No luck yet with the bungee - am getting the Tx and servos this weekend and will then begin the build. Will also load some pics. I agree with Eric on the location of the 'hook'. Am going to put it just in front of the u/c doors - it's not going to be perfect, but it'll get her airborne.

    Thanks Timbo and Eric - will prob go for 2.4, but it's going to be a while before I get this model in the air. Being new to gliding I only realised the model has a nose release hook - can I still use a bungee launch for this? Towing is not an option. Just worried that the direction of the bungee will pull the nose straight into the ground....your thoughts?

    Hi Everyone

     So I recently bought the new CMPro Ventus as my first glider - ambitious agreed!

     I need some advice on servos and a battery along with a Tx. For the Tx I was thinking along the lines of the futaba 6 ch 2.4gHz.......

     Any advice would be really appreciated as I haven't had to install anything on a model for about 15 yrs.

     Thanks!

    Sirius XL vs. Easyglider

    in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi

     I've been looking at progressing to my next model and have decided on an electric glider being a good option - have narrowed the search down to 2 the Sirius XL and the Easyglider.

     There are loads of reviews and details about the Easyglider, but hardly anything on the Sirius XL. So, has anybody bought / flown the Sirius? What are the pros and cons? I know the Easyglider is a cool plane, but the Sirius seems more stable with the fibreglass and has more weight / wingspan to allow for windy days.

     Your thoughts?

    Windrider Airliner A380 kit

    in General Electric Flight Chat

    Posted

    Hello

    I'm looking at getting more into airliner models and found a site in Hong Kong that produce a replica of the new Airbus A380. It's original format is for gliding, but it can have electric motors installed

    I just wanted to find out if anybody has this model or knows of anyone who's bought one - what are the pros and cons of this model etc. Seems that not too many companies offer anything in the way or Airliners except for the E-Flite version.

    The one from Windrider is for electric motors and the basic kit only costs $180 with $80 delivery charge - they quoted $555 for delivery of the kit along with the 4 electric motors and ESC.

    Can anybody tell me if anyone in the UK offers similar products?

     Thanks in advance for your responses
