Paul james 8 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not sure if this is the correct forum, please advise if not. Having recently bought an unstarted kit of this model I'm looking for a copy of the manual. I can work out most of it obviously but just in case there are any quirky bits.... If anyone has a copy I could borrow or they could scan to PDF it would be much appreciated. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not got the manual Paul, but I recall no quirks with the model build, one of the best I ever had, cracking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful feedback John so thanks for that! Did yours have servos for each aileron? I've seen photos of some that seem to have a conventional two servo set up with connecting rods to the top. I usually look through the youtube videos of the various models I'm building and they all seemed to be flying well. What was yours powered by? I've got options of Saito 125, Saito 180 or Laser 200 V twin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Mine was powered by O.S 91fx Paul, flew great and wasn't a brick if engine cut, choose any as long as they're not heavy lumps would be my advice, I had 4 servos in the wings, not a fan of connecting rods. Hitec 625s on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul james 8 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thanks again, sounds as though the saito 125 should be enough although the 180 might be more fun 😊😊 Did you find it prone to stalling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul james 8 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I think it will be a pretty impressive model when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 No it was a pussy cat, had a decent glide engine off, used to fly the tank empty on last flight of the day, only ones I saw misbehave where the ones with big lumps in, they had a glide like a brick, mate has Moki 180 in his, that's fine. No idea of weight on your 180 or the Laser but if they're not great lumps they should be o.k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul james 8 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Sounds like it should be fun! Got to finish off a nice Kyosho 50 Spitfire then on to the Pitts. I'd still like to find the build manual if possible so that I have the correct c of g etc. Last thing I want is for it to be tail heavy. I read somewhere that with a 120 up front it didn't need any additional weight to balance. That is always good as I hate adding lead, I'd rather put a bigger engine in.

I wonder if mine is an earlier version as he refers to changes? Mine is in the red and white colour scheme that I personally prefer 😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be in touch with my female side as apparently real blokes never read instructions. I'm having to sort a prime example of that on the current build of what was supposed to have been an unstarted kit; the previous owner glued the elevator hinges into the stab without fitting the bracing wire so I've had to dig all that apart.
