Nope stop you leaving when you see the entry prices for repetitive Chinese build rtf 3m extra hovering planes and little else

Nice one Outrunner and as Rich said .. no substitute for air time. Mantis is also a great model .. not too much to it so it does not take kindly to ‘arrivals’ good luck with the flights and keep all posted steve

Best weekend of the year .

Where is your vertical cog ref the engine thrust line . Hopefully just below .. also are you running blade tip weights ?? steve

Servos corona 238 mg, motor 1000kv running 10x6e prop

As Rich says 40mm is quite a bit.. I have added weight at the top of the head to move the effective COG up.. did reduce the power vs pitch effect... As you cant lower the motor, maybe try filling the top shroud with lead and see what it does to the COG height compared to thrust line. Seems an odd thing to do but of the distances and forces are not right.. the model is an accident waiting to happen and would be such a shame to damage such a great build effort. Steve

Enjoy the next free plan all . 4s is fast and I think it would even go on 3S .... Steve

Looks great . Enjoy the flying

Sorry to ask the basics again.. where are my picture albums and photos now ?? looked on profile etc and not a scooby doooo Steve

Looks great and take it easy and dont try and force the take off too early - Enjoy Steve

A mistake in the build but does not affect the flying and take off/landings.. The model is great but quiet lightly loaded witht he blade size.. one the wind gets up its too much... Good looking model not difficult to build Steve

Welcome to lost and confused zone !!

Oh God . You changed something we all knew and worked well .. welcome to the future where we can’t find anything or are lost .. progress and at least it will be quiet for a while

Jussi, mine flew with the double plates from the start .. but was sensitive to pitch in flight.. adding the tip weights as only change ..fixed the problem Steve

Looking at video and considering my 2 Revolvers which fly well ... I would suggest adding 5g at the tip of the blades and your head plate needs to be stiffer. my head plate is 1.2mm which is a 0.8mm and a 0.4mm . Not glued just added together Steve

Simple , Left hand motor offset , right rudder trim and when air side naturally turns right rather than left Steve

Fantastic just the same as Autogyros... motor power equals forward speed equals blade speed equals lift .. fly altitude via power and turn with rudder. Throttle off it comes down and be careful on down wind leg you don’t slow up to much and the lift device slows too much great project . Well done

Used many times for lemon rx .... great seller seller

Lee , just get and fit another plastic one . Plastic will grip the rod thread better steve

Guys ... you really need to be very careful with these kits .. Jon clearly coats the models during printing with a layer which makes them highly sensitive to the touch .. some would even say ADDICTIVE.. Currently my fleet is 5 and having built 3 others for a friend it’s out of control !!!! you have been warned .. lol steve

Yes please Santa !!.. Make been building hard all year .. honest Steve

Good old British observations and comments..what forums are all about ......... Moan Moan Moan moan......

HI there Allan, On all these models with Vac bits, like the Provost I first trim the part to fit with scissors then lightly sand the edges. Then place on the film covered model and lightly mark where the vac part touches. Remove it and lightly sand the film on the model INSIDE the marked line (so its not seen once fitted) Glue of choice is Deluxe Models Canopy glue as I find it eches and keys the best to the film - and dries clear. Once tacked on with sparing glue I then run a generous fillet of glue INSIDE the vac part and especially and the front edge to stop lifting off in flight. UhU Por could be used but I find it does not eche Not had one come off so far !! Hope this helps Steve
