Hi Jez, I've built a couple of Panthers but never ones with the gear doors and the word on the street was that they were fiddly and as I fly from grass knew I would be in for problems. I know that there are several versions of the gear doors and if you can post some pictures will try to help.

rotation is very much dependant on the wind, as with all EDF's static thrust is low but inrush from a light breeze helps tremendously. With a 5mph head wind I'd say she rotates in 20m. i'm using the blue hyk motor and 6s lipos, no idea how heavy she is but there is a bottle of epoxy in her after a good smash (remember the lipos in TX issue !) Have you done the rudder mod by the way ? Edited By James Hindle on 08/05/2009 16:45:50

that reinforcement is exactly what I did Timbo, grass is not a problem with those spring air retracts, you got the AOA correct so rock on ........

Springair 602s in FlyFly's Hawk
James Hindle replied to Tim Mackey's topic in Scale and Semi-Scale kits
Tim, If its the hawk then you MUST pack out the front leg as its AOA stock is pants and unless you have a full size runway and 20-20 vision it will NEVER rotate !!!! -

interesting that you say they are small time Tim, apparently they make most of the Robart range ! -
Springair 602s in FlyFly's Hawk

Hi, I had the same problem Tim pondered it for quite a while, basically the tiny aluminum ring goes in the gap, although mine was too thick so I had to use a wheel collet and file it down in the end then the tiller arm at the bottom so basically you have fixings top and bottom. The 'screw' is to secure some thin piano wire which goes through the little hole in the tiller arm to centre the leg. Hope this helps, -
I presume the recesses are for fixings (velcro ?) shame about that canopy it looks too long for anything I have lying around. I reckon they have packaged the canopy for a different version of the F15 as they manufacturer a few..

the metal retracts lasted a few flights on our grass strip but eventually failed, the cover over the pinion needs increasing to strengthen them, Tim Wan is looking to improve them so hang fire. The biggest improvement for all grass flyers would be to spring load the legs, one turn would suffice, the SF retracts on my lear jet are very robust.....
