Jonathan Buchanan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi all, are the Dag 60 plans still available, I really love the look of this machine and a good size also. Or some 2nd hand plans which someone could sell me maybe. Regards John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Buchanan Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Also, I have a 120 4 stroke and a Zenoah 22cc petrol, is nose weight an issue, if it is it would probably rule out the petrol. I have previously had a PT25 and now an Auto G from HK. Surely some one can help me out with a way to build a Dag 60 or similar, eg same size and style. Any help much apreciated. John.

Richard Harris Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 John, The DAG 60 is a big model and although it is a great flier it is not recommended for beginners, but if you can fly the PT and Auto G it will be no problem. The prototype weighs 9lbs and the rotor span is just over 75" in diameter, the prototype flies on a 91 ASP (could be a SC 91, it's been a long time since I built it). To save on expensive servos it has a roll only head using a twin servo set up on a y lead , with an elevator controlling pitch like the auto G (they copied my idea!) I have lost count on the amount of hours this model has flown, but it still gets an airing from time to time. I do prefer to fly it in calm conditions as it is a floater. Here is some footage of one of its early flights in 2008, brings back memories. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Buchanan Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks for the info and video, it seems to fly great, what are the negatives with roll only on cyclic? the one i can see is not being able to kill the lift on landing in stronger winds and maybe not being able to pull back rotor while taxying to help speed up the rotor. What would be the benefits of main rotor pitch control if i were to suffer the cost of extra strong servos, sorry for all the questions. John.

Jonathan Buchanan Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 After watching video of the Rex XL, I have been completely turned around on my thinking, I would like to build one of those instead, looks alot less building also. Now all i need are some plans, are there such things available? John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
