Happyface 838 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looking forward to starting on my latest acquisition, the sfm Mustang. Which powerset did you go for and how does it fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi Martian, May I ask you why you applied the US-stars 'upside down' on both fuselage sides... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Oh heck yes I never realised there was a right way so the answer is ignorance ,I will see if I can correct it and post a pic for your approval😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 No need for my approval, Martian. I was just teasing you. But consider yourself 'relieved' that Danny is not lurking into this Classroom... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 ... if the President himself told you than it must be the truth, Martian. Truly convinced he knows some bits about things being 'fake'... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Happyface I used as reccomended in manual it hasn,t flown yet wrong time of year, you will enjoy building it Thanks Martian, I'm looking at going for a lower kv and using a ramoser Vario prop of a slightly larger diameter, with 4 blades. It would be nice to put in some nice, scale touches, but is certainly more stand off scale. Christmas out the way then, let the build commence.

Happyface 838 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi Martian, any progress on the maiden yet, I've started mine this morning and it flies together, really nice laser cut parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyface 838 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A day Nd a half into the build and the fuselage is getting there, I have trouble putting ( fun) stuff down once started (wife would like that to apply to boring stuff too). I have modded the underside to blank off the cooling holes and added a scale (ish) radiator outlet (interesting on the full size, read about the Meredith effect). I am considering moving the tailwheel to a more scale location too (although it won't retract). So photos...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyface 838 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I just can't help myself! Wings almost complete now, but I had to deviate from the plans lol. The standard u/c position was a little wide for my liking, so I've relocated them inboard into the next 'bay' and manufactured some hard mounting points for the oleos. They now occupy a more scale position and I'm contemplating having a go at some mechanical inboard gear doors too that are opened/ closed by the cycling wheels. I've decided to up the game in the powerset stakes too and will be going 6s 2650mah, 80a ESC, driving the 12.8 inch Hamilton standard 4 blade prop. Pitch will be set on a watt meter, but expected to be around 8 inch. I've managed to use the standard spinner and machined the other 2 blade exits and it looks really good. Can I justify £30 on a robart retractable tail wheel? Trying to find a different colour scheme and so far the one for 'Lou IV' is looking favourite. Just hope that the paint will adhere to the filmmive got for covering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyface 838 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks for the comments Percy, the tail feathers aren't fixed yet, I was just checking alignment (and taking advantage of seeing it looking like an aeroplane). The 4 blade prop is a bit of an experiment, using a varioprop as I'm intrigued with it, I suppose I could have used a 2 blade hub, but my heart won that battle. I know that it is far from scale, as there is an awful lot of built up structure, but I do like to fiddle 😋. I hear you ref the tailwheel, although even if fixed, I'd like to move it to a more scale location, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
