peter harvey 1 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Ron , that was a good idea, I for one will want a sound system, if we can get a few others perhaps Andrew will do a deal with us Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I was looking for a colour scheme for my 109 and came across a PDF file which profiles the BF109G. Type "messerschimitt BF109G profile" into google search and you will find it - [PDF]Messerschmitt Bf 109G - Let Let Let - Warplanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 That is a really good site Sunny , 36 pages of colour ! There are some good detail drawings there too , for those that might be going for a bit more detail . http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Bf109G.pdf The snow camouflage aircraft captured by the Russians is rather cool , but I am still drawn to the heavily mottled luftwaffe versions . The tropical stuff looks great on the air , especially with white wing tips . r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Johnson 4 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi Guys, Well I hope your not too overweight, overhung and generally feeling bloated... I hope to see a few posts on your kits... I don't want to put too much of my build which is not relevant to yours remembering mine is a prototype which had a few wrinkles which have been ironed out of yours. So come on take a few paracetamol, a couple of alka seltzer and post some pic's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi Paul, I have had a good look inside the box. looks good and looking forward to starting it. reading through the instruction book, just a little concerned with the comments about it's behaviour on takeoff i.e it's inability to track straight, still thats for the future.

Flyer Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've resisted opening the box until 1st February, as I have deadlines to deal with first! (But I 'may' have a quick look, just to understand the instructions'....) And I need to fully understand the flaps arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Bird Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Wahooo, guess what I've got! Pleased? I should say so, excellent quality, comprehensive and you lot showing the way. What more can you want? This is what it will hopefully end up looking like. Glynn and Richard have have called the decals the 'Ghost' set quite appropriate I think. Thank you guys.

Glynn Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Thanks for the compliment Roger, don't forget chaps if you have a picture of a particular aircraft insignia you want we will try our best to supply them. Glynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I found this little video clip last night . Its a pity that the ground crew didnt look more period as the setting was spot on. You cant beat the sound of this ! Good job he had the "hand brake " on when it fires up . You certainly get the full impression of a massive motor in a tiny plane . **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Johnson 4 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Now if you wondered how to reverse a servo....here's how. A BIG P.S..... I take NO Responsibility for your burnt fingers, melted wires, or servo failure, climate change, change in underpants colour! Please do not do this if you are unsure of your capabilities or have a soldering iron big enough to solder the wing panels on a car! To prevent the whole thing coming apart in your hands first tape together the top part. Then remove the four screws holding it together.... don't lose them Carefully remove the bottom of the servo to expose the tiny driver board. The two wires to the motor need to be swapped. If you have a shakey hand unsolder at the motor, swap and solder back on. Next the really awkward shakey bit. Move the controller board GENTLY out to expose the feed back potentiometer. The two outermost wires also have to be swapped but as the pot is difficult to get to you will need to do this on the controller board. If you have a 'Helping hands" or even a clothes peg it will help. Desolder the two outer most wires from the pot where they connect to the board and resolder them on the opposite sides. Carefully replace the board back in the servo and reassemble...job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham R Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Paul, have I missed something? Just wondering why you're showing how to reverse a servo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyg1 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ok Paul, thinking now :- 110 will I have to do this procedure to have the 2 throttle servos travelling in the same direction. ie running of one y lead.? Presumably the same for the flaps? WE thinking of just swapping the red and black at the plug end of the servo lead. Sorry if I've missed something?
