chris barnes 1 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Sweet looking birds. I have some electronics on of a crashed foamie that would fit that perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam MacDonald Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just wondering if anyone could recommend a suitable motor and speed controller for the Micro war birds in this months RCM&E. I would love to build it but am confused about the 1510/22 that is recommended.

chris barnes 1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks Ton. I guess I just realized though that it appears I have to be a subscriber of the magazine to get access to the plans. Oh well. I guess for the time being I will have to find something else to build. Enjoy the birds you have built. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Keywood Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 hi Chris, sorry to but in, but the plans are in this months magazine. it is still on sale in the shops and comes with an article about the build. Good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris barnes 1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks john I appreciate that. My question is, is the magazine available in the United States and of so who might carry it on their shelves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Chris, RCM&E is called 'RC Model Aeroplane' in North America and you should find it on shelves in due course. Barnes and Noble springs to mind? Edited By David Ashby - RCME on 23/01/2014 09:45:08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris barnes 1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sweet. I will look for it next time I'm near one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton van Munsteren Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Tommy, That looks great and looking forward seeing the final P51 ready for its maiden. What motor with you be using. I hope you like the building of the P51 Iam sure you like the flying even more, have been flying my model in today in strong winds, but no problem all just good fun.

Robert Putley 1 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Ton, I would very much like to build the Mustang. Would you have an Email address for RCB kits? In advance, many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Soderstrom Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 16g 1700kv outrunner, 10A ESC and 500mAh 2S LiPo. Could you give a hint about aileron and elevator movement? How much is too much...? Can't find recommendations anywhere or did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton van Munsteren Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Robert, Great you like the Mustang please klik rbckits and the pic of the Mustang. And for the direct email address klik here [email protected] . Looking forward to pics of your mustang, if theres any question please let me know. Tommy, Not sure if its in the article because I don't have the Febr. magazine myself to check. But measured it on the Mustang and the aileron is 10mm up and down and elevator also 10mm up and down. This is already very lively and would suggest to start there. If you want more than it would be better to go for a more powerful motor or go for a smaller batt with 3s because that would make the MicroWarbird bite there own tail. And to all freeplan builders don't forget to post a pic in "Pics from your free RCME plan build" Cheers Ton Edited By Ton van Munsteren on 26/01/2014 15:59:01 Edited By Ton van Munsteren on 26/01/2014 16:02:14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Minion Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi, I googled it and came up with this, a 2,200Kv He also has a website, drop him a line, he replied promptly to my query on motor, but has not got any motors in stock at moment. I will be buying a kit of parts. I'm also thinking of this for it, ESC built in, weight 11g, (recommended 16g), will see what he says.

Pete B Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi John, Welcome to the forum! That's a very informative first post and I'm sure will be much appreciated by Cam I've tidied up those links a bit as it makes life easier for forumites to browse - have a look at the Forum User Guides for some advice on posting links, pics and video etc....

About the motor yes it could work just fine an 11gr motor because the very first Microwarbird had much less power than the 16gr Iam now using. don't think its much fun that you need to do a dive first before you make a loop. The 16gr is also a very good combination for long flight you don't need all the power all the time when flying relax its no problem to fly 15min or more.

DG3 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Super little plan Ton. Here is my P51 progress so far. Very quick build with thin CA and balsa I had lying around. I think I used one and a half sheets of 2mm balsa for the fuselage with 2.5mm (or whatever it originally was in imperial) scraps for the wing. I intend using a 10A turnigy plush ESC, 460mAh 2s Lipos, HXT500 servos and this motor **LINK**. I have an original HK flight stabiliser that I might try fitting later on just for fun! To anybody thinking of building one, just do it. It was such a simple and quick build. Will post more photos when it progresses further.

Ton van Munsteren Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi DG3, Thanks for posting the pics the Mustang is looking great. Although its very easy going for the cnc set from rbckits, I must admit that the Mustang is also just the model for those balsa leftovers. With the motor selected it should go like a rocket Iam sure that will be great fun. Keep up the good work and looking forward to some more pics. Cheers Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG3 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I agree. If I wasn't off sick from work I wouldn't have had the time to cut out all the parts. CNC parts would definitely save a good few hours. 6mm leading edge dowel fitting this evening. To cut the circular shaped leading edge recesses in the ribs I filed a 6mm piece of scrap copper tube to make it nice and sharp. Worked a treat.
