Seagull Models Yak-11 Reno Racer Test Flight
I was recently given a previously flown (IC power) Seagull Models Yak-11 "Reno Racer" (actually, "Perestroika", which later became "Czechmate"). I converted to electric power and filled the large cowl cutouts and improved the lip around the large spinner. My intention is to do a semi-scale "extreme makeover" into the Yak-11 "Mr. Awesome" racer as it appeared in 1989.

Blohm & Voss BV141B: Remaiden of Completed "Extreme Makeover"
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
Following 3 successful test flights (in primer, no details), this is the first flight of my now-competed Flyboys Models Blohm & Voss BV141B. The BV141 was the only asymmetrical aircraft to reach series production (20 were made including prototypes). This is an "extreme makeover" of an old, long out-of-production ARF (acquired NIB), which has taken almost 5 months, including electric conversion,...

Mosquito Retract Door Sequencer Issue (and solution)
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.4 месяца назад
My heavily modified Black Horse DH98 Mosquito has been flying beautifully for nearly two years, and I fly it fairly often in the rotation. Yesterday I flew it for the first time in a few weeks, and BOTH gear door sequencers are doing the same strange thing. This happens whether the model is assembled as normally for flight, OR if I try inputting a signal directly into each wing panel's sequence...
P-40E "Aleutian Tiger" Flight No.3
Просмотров 4016 месяцев назад
This short video is from the third post-completion flight of my totally revamped CMPro Curtiss P-40E Warhawk. The first two flights (last week) were mostly successful, but much time taken up with retrimming, and the second landing wasn't great, bending both retract/strut pins (both of which were replaced). Today's flight was much smoother and landing very good. It was followed up with one more ...

CMP P-40E Tail Retract and Gear Doors Test (mechanical linkage)
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.8 месяцев назад
My own 3D printed tail retract appeared to survive the two maiden flights I made a few improvements, and moved on to the gear doors which are also 3D printed with integrated hinges. I decided the servo operated doors (previously posted video) were way too hard to fine adjust for various reasons, and decided to try a direct mechanical linkage before (which had failed) but this time, connected th...

My own 3D printed tail retract appeared to survive the two maiden flights I made a few improvements, and moved on to the gear doors which are also 3D printed with integrated hinges. I tied to get them to work mechanically but the geometry with my retractable gear just wouldn't work. I moved to a single 9gm servo to operate the doors and ran that and the retract's servo through a Freewing sequen...
CMP Curtiss P-40E Warhawk Maiden
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This is the 73" span (1/6 scale) P-40E Warhawk, which was manufactured around 15 years ago. Weight for these two maiden flights was 15 lbs. 11 oz. My procedure is to maiden flight test my models before proceeding with paint, graphics, details, etc. That way if structural changes are required, or damage occurs, things are much easier to fix. This total revamp of a long out of production CMPro P-...
CMP P-40E Revamp: Final Retracts Test Before Maiden.
Просмотров 2 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This total revamp of an old, never built CMPro P-40E is nearly ready to maiden in primer. The retracts were moved to scale location and scale diameter (5") wheels used. Strut housings were designed in Tinkercad and are 3D printed with spring loaded doors. I'm about four months invested in this project. If the maiden goes well, there will be another month or two to finish. Detailed build log: ww...
Test of P-40E Retract with Spring Loaded Gear Door
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This is a test of the 3D printed landing gear strut fairing with a torsion-sprung gear door, designed to be pushed open by the strut itself. The tire jammed against the first door shape at the trailing edge, which was modified to an angle along with a rounded corner, which apparently the full size aircraft had to some degree. The torsion spring is .020" music wire details will be at the build l...

I never knew it was real. So cool ..
Que hermoso,sobre todo que tiene un motor a combustión interna con sonido de verdadero helicóptero.👍
Muchas gracias!
Never seen or heard anything of exsistense of a plane like that - and I'm from 1947, as if that ment something. But in all my lifetime I've never seen af movie documentary or anything else where this plane was mentioned. Thanks for making af RC model and put it into RUclips in a video
I've been aware of the existence of this design since I was a schoolboy, yet this is the first time I've seen it fly. All my life, I've had my doubts, but here's the proof I needed!
She looks great,nice flying too...
It almost looks a little tail heavy in those left hand turns away from the camera but it was very smooth and floaty when landing and not porpoising when slow so likely the CG is fine.
Looks great
Any handling difference with left or right turns during slow flight?
Amazingly, no. I thought that there might be and was surprised that there wasn’t any difference.
Oh thats nice
Muy bueno..!!👍👍👍👍
18 lbs…keep your speed up on final 😊. Nice flyer, beautiful work!
This plane has loads of wing area and compared to my ESM Typhoon (videos in my channel), it's a breeze --the Typhoon weighs 19.5 and has a lot less wing area!
Congratulations on the amount of work and detail for an unusual subject that was well flown. With my level of flying the last piece of the puzzle would be the hook on the wall to hang it from.
Lovely model and beautifully flown. I can't remember seeing this unusual aircraft modelled before. And good to see the swastika on the fin, so often not included due to 'political correctness' but a WW2 German aircraft always looks odd without it.
When I stopped making models almost 40 years ago, that wasn't a "thing". I struggle a bit with it now, but it seems to me that any Luftwaffe aircraft can be characterized the same way, in other words, not just limiting it to one graphic symbol. I point out to people that Luftwaffe aircraft displayed at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum (and Udvar Hazy) retain original correct markings, or receive such markings when restored (offhand, ME262, ME163, DO335 are examples), and also the Museum of the United States Air Force (Dayton, OH). A scale model is either an historical representation or it isn't. It's not a political statement IMO, and it certainly isn't intended to signal support of country/politics of its time.
Splendid job Nick!!! I think this one deserves a special place in your hangar 👍☝️ but no German marching music during the photoshoot at the start of the vid??? 🤔😁😉
Thanks Geert! I rather pride myself for not adding music to my flight videos, haha.
what modifications did you make? I just ordered one today.
Read my description -- for more follow the link to the build log.
Aeronaut Panther rulez! But you start from a concrete strip withou retracts? Your video makes me thinking about to continue my Kolibri Turbine powered Panther project... ruclips.net/video/i5V21pcVg4M/видео.html
What size props? Thanks..
Vario benzin mechanics. The best out there ! Great flight 👏
Great video...👍
nice flight picture
Well done! In the late 90's built one of these at about this size from Ziroli plans. Was squirrely on take off but flew great. Gotta be the most unusual aircraft ever.
Hi Nick, that's quite an achievement! Looking forward to see the model again when it exits the paint workshop 😀 Greetings from Belgium!
Thanks Geert -- already "back in the shop" to finish out, which will take a few weeks, even though I've been designing and 3d printing interior detail parts for weeks.
Clever solution, although the gear door is oddly shaped
Wow, that is one weird aircraft. But the Germans pulled off a few "weird" looking aircraft in WWII. As for the asymmetric flaps, that is a head scratcher to say the least, but I feel in time you will work that out. I see the advantage of going electric. The battery(s) weigh the same charged or not charged so you won't have to fight a gusty landing with some fuel sloshing around. BTW, I subbed to your channel as I'm into rc planes too.
Wow
What's the engine? it sounds amazing
Isn't the actual planes doors pushed by the landing gear itself?
That's true of nearly all retract gear doors on full-scale. The geometry can be very tricky. Mosquito mains are very unique and available model retracts are not at all alike. As far as how to close the doors, there are "many ways to skin the cat", servos and pushrods being just one.
Well, that didn't show a problem or a solution?.........
It does show the problem -- the doors are supposed to shut after the gear retracts. The solution was added to the description after I figured one out, and the headline changed to reflect that.
Jack in the box
Gorgeous
Very nice 🙂
You added flaps! Nice I bought an unassembled kit recently and thinking about adding flaps as well as beefing up the landing gear as it seems to be a weak point. Question, did you find the flaps made a big difference with landing?
Spectacular weathering. Beautiful take off. Great subject selection!
Nice smooth landing!.
How long does it fly with one tank?
Very nice!
What are your control throws an c.g at?
Bravo!!!
Excelente.
Nice flight! Looks like you nailed the cg.
Thanks- yes, I was happy with the CG, and that I didn’t have to add any dead weight to achieve it.
Beautiful plane!
I enjoy watching this so much more than crazy 3D flying. I first started RC helis in 1983 with an Ishimasa Sky Lark electric heli. I then progressed to Kalt Baron 28, GMP Cobra, Heim Star Ranger, and finally Miniature Aircraft XCell 60. I was also test/development pilot for the Lite Machines LMH-100/LMH-110 in the early 1990s.
Great landing, using throttle is the way to land a great looking warbird
good job! general chennault would be proud!
Thanks -- the plan is to paint as one of the "Aleutian Tigers" -- a squadron commanded by John Chennault, son of Claire. No shark mouth, but a rather huge yellow and black tiger head on the cowl. Stay tuned, videos eventually, or visit the RC Groups build log, URL in the description.
What a smooth flight. Congrats!
What is the wing loading?
I didn't calculate it, although I could have when I was doing the CG calculation. It's 73" span and weighed 15 lbs 11 oz for these two test flights. I expect it to gain another 1.5 lbs at least during the completion phase.
@@vintagecornet You sir are flying a lead sled. More power to you but keep that air speed up or you will re-kit the air frame.
ha, that's what you think! You should watch the videos of my Hughes 1B Racer, or the ESM Hawker Typhoon -- now THOSE are lead sleds! The Typhoon is the same size as the Warhawk, but 19.5 lbs. The Hughes is only 61" span, but about the same weight as the Warhawk!@@flycatchful
Great plane. Sounds great too.
Well done on your landing. I fly on FMS 1100 mm Hawker Typhoon. Because of where I fly I have to hand launch and belly land every single time. One of the things I do just before landing is retract my flaps so as not to stress the servos. I have my flaps on a slider on the left hand side of my transmitter. That way I have throttle control and slider control at my fingertips. Thank you for taking time making and posting videos of your typhoon. Could you do a video of your electric electric setup, please?
Nick, Hawker Typhoon lover here too. What a special plane. I currently fly a FMS 1100mm Hawker Typhoon. Gotta get a Super Sized one. And....it must fly ELECTRIC. I live on a 40' sailboat and don't have room for all of the Essentials required to do gas. Could you do a video for us, by opening up the cowling and describing your electric setup, please? Obviously I'm interested in the entire process you went through. Especially finding the correct cg. Even on my little FMS Bird I felt I had to add 30 metric tons of lead in her nose to get the CG correct. Which by the way was totally different than what the manual said. Thank you for taking the time to post your videos for us to enjoy and learn from.
