Christopher Eeles Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Happy days! The wing warp was the issue....Flew like a dream today, steady at all speeds, still overpowered but great cg so I'll prop it up one size and just fly around at low throttle. Based on today's flights, I'll easily get 15 minutes. Cheers to all Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Eeles Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 So, I've added some basic insignia. I hand made these using white Oratex and black vinyl tape. I dulled down the tape by sanding lightly and covering with matt water based clear. More flying after Christmas eh! Hope you all enjoy the festive season..

Christopher Eeles Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi all...HAPPY New Year from a very hot Australia. Flew the Fokker again today. Now flying well. Our local field is a bit dry and as a result it tipped over on landing. Luckily it just pulled a couple of those cabane "tangs" out of their sockets and no major damage. One annoying thing is that the axle wing/ airfoil won't secure in place and wants to tilt. I'd have to unsolder all the joints to somehow fix this. I've tried adding a bit if glue to the collet area but it's not helping...any ideas...happy to build a new undercart if necessary... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I had the same problem, this fixed it. For scale fidelity, one of the jastas did this modification ( fact), so you con any anally inclined interrogator, that your machine is ex of this jasta. Bit of brass tube, aluminum for the brackets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Eeles Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Don, I only just saw your reply...its been a busy couple of months. What a great idea...I'll get onto it asap. Last Sunday our club held its annual scale fly-in event. Any type of "scale" aircraft are welcome and it's just a fun, social event. The mighty Fokker D7 flew four flights, all went well. It's definitely way over powered, so I'll drop down to 5s 5000 ma packs from the current 6s. Balance should still be ok as I can push the pack slightly more forward. I'm very pleased with the electric conversion overall. Cheers from Sunny Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
