To many batterys . That is everything but not safe! Looks cool but the structure you made in wood should be replaced whit the same structure made whit concrete and whit out a lid. Than you can be safe .

Great Job! We Need More People Like You!

Looks like a good upgrade choice to me! These goofy scale guys and their idiotic comments WTF Hey man those grey foam windows are not scale you need to install Real Glass in there! cause you never win a trophy in the scale class contests cause thats what all us Rc Pilots Live For Hahahaha

So after you installed the new front bowl on prop and also the heavier power, 60 470 KV motor was you still able to retain a good CG on the plane with the battery shoved further back.. I did this similar to a 1700 plane I had and I had to actually put fumy tires on it to lighten up the front to get my CG. I am wanting to put that motor in my carbon cub 2.0 but I was worried about the CG and what I need to do, and I was also thinking how much more weight that Debro bought on prop is going to make it way as well in the front end? Any info you can give me I would so kindly appreciate Dan thank you so much

Dan great flying. Jeff in LA USA.

You can be in any pedal assistance and the same button will work to walk.

Thanks Dan for the great video. I actually used it to figure out how to get the wheels off. I then installed a new carbon fiber landing gear. It moved the gear 1/2" forward which really helps with the nose overs. I gained 1 1/2" more wheel base and 1" more ground clearance. Overall a win/win.

You are certainly correct, the throttle does not work while in walk mode! You will have to press the + button to get back to the assist level you want.

OK but how do you disengage walk mode? It seems while in walk mode my throttle doesn't work so how do you turn walk mode off. Every time now I press the minis (-) botton, it still is on

Hi Dan, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your design. I can see that you've put more thought into it than most. I didn't see anyone else employing a pulley between the shock chord and the model but I'm definitely going to do that after watching your video. It goes a long way towards explaining many of the crashes I saw where the model came off the launcher with the wrong attitude. Hope you keep coming up with ideas for people in the RC community to improve their flying experience with. Happy flying!

It is a MAS 11x7x3

Very helpful description. Thanks for your time and care.

Great job well done thank you 👏👏👍

You can just replace the batteries connectors with the ic2 connectors. I will not fly spectrum so I simply replaced the battery connectors.

Hey Dan, I wanna thank you very much for the series of videos on building the sky, Ranger 40. It gave me some good ideas as I built mine.

The original springs are fine if you remove the internal hooks, they stop the springs working. Mine were on the verge of breaking but now they're immortal

Your history of the plane and its roll in is incorrect. It was never raced at Reno. It was raced in 1946 Cleveland Air Races. It was raced by Cook Cleland. Goodyear was a licensed manufacturer of the Corsair. Brewster mfg. was also licensed to build the Corsair. The plane was modified from a stock version for racing. I don’t know the military history of this particular plane but it was not produced for air racing. It was declared surplus from the navy. I know the people who had owned her for many years.

Very helpful. I found that I could pop the hubcaps off with a short Stanley Knife blade. the circlips could be removed by inserting a fine-bladed screwdriver in the holes at the rear of the circlip. a small pair of pliers was great for popping them back on. But thanks so much for revealing how it all goes together.

Cheap? We don’t have any cheap parts on the Evo. Great mod Dan. We safe. Jeff in LA USA

nice ! the mod is to move the ESC as far forward in the cowl to get better air flow when using 4s. I also use a (MRC) HobbyEagle 16V EZ-Plug Capacitor ( SKU: HEA16VC ) Y'd in the throttle channel for voltage fluctuations I had on my Bigfoot. It worked !!! It won't hurt anything and solved my motor problems..Just a thought...have a great New Year !..

My throttle pulses like that when I use my turnigy 3s pack, I think it might be the c rating being too low.

Can you ride the bike in walk assist mode?

Thanks Dan😊

Great video. Can you tell me the size of the bungee tubing and the Length?

Hey Dan, thanks for the video. Hope you’re enjoying the bike and that life is good

Great vid just a thought test the motor prior to making the mods

What is the brand name and part number of the bag of gears gears?

I love mine, you should try it with the 4s if you havent..

Wondering if I can fit this in the tail, which really takes a beating on landings

Curious to know if you still fly your wing? Looking to pick one up myself, but they're hard to come by now.

Helpful thanks!

What a workshop... Nice mancave

Hi Dan, can you tell me where you purchased the red and white checkerboard covering on the Horizontal Stab on Eflite Maule

I had to get one of those IC2 to IC 3 adapters for my new Ultrix, still waiting.

the BNF you can get it in the air in 25 minutes. but PNP certainly not. the shotty phillips head screws should be replaced with hex-driver hardware(because the ones they use love slipping). and the foam is too stiff also and cracks easily. still a decent plane for how little building there is, not setting spars in, waiting for glue to dry, etc etc.

What size is that 3 blade prop?

Nice build Dan! Looking forward to catching you at the field when it gets warmer!

It takes some tuning. But when you get it right it flys 👍

It was my first build. A little difficult, but I found myself tinkering away for hours and enjoyed it. Flys sport or 3d, takes hard landings well. Just glue it back together and back in the air. The servos and motor are junk. Replace em. Value hobby motor and props. Budget friendly and very adequate.

On the BNF the elevator servo wire runs in that hole.

Dan nice build, hope you have a great maiden. Jeff in LA USA

You might be able to fly it this weekend at Poplar Ford! Happy New Year, Dan.

Merry Christmas Dan, enjoy the new ✈️

Extra Wing bolts is the key

Dan, WH stands for Watt Hours and is a measurement of energy. Watts=Volts*Amps. It's a better representation of total energy than amp hour. As a higher voltage contains more energy per the same amp hour. Ex. 6s 5Ah = 110Wh 3s 5Ah = 55.5Wh. Hope I made it a little clearer! Thanks for the helpful vid didn't even know my Carbon Z had a removable tray. (got it used)

Nice build I might try this for my wing. Btw The wording made me laugh 2:25

That plane flies great love mine you will love it 👍👍👍

I agree, great model which flies well but IMHO the rear fus is far too flexible yaw wise. I strengthened mine with 3 off carbon tubes sliced through longitudinally to form a c cross section. Epoxied into position this has worked very well.

Thank You for sharing such a great flight - she is a real beauty !!!!

Man them wires on the wing u are so right what a pain an i had a servo go out an u have to add the wire with a chip on it to reverse it an man that tales more room because the lil chip grrrr but i have 9 planes an this is my baby i leave it on my kitchen table for everyone to see it an everybody Loves it an on floats i havent seen a sexier plane nowhere an flies like a dream. Love your videos brother.
