I learn my lessons from thouse fragile foamis,, they can’t take any damage!! I covered them in lightweight glass/carbon fibre,, than they became almost unbreakable!! It’s takes some time to do but it’s definitely worth it!! If you crash the frame won’t shatter in to pieces, and much easier to fix!!

Thanks Lou I just received mine and it is a joy to see that it has carbon reinforcements, and it also comes with the appropriate manual. I hope to see how you finished putting it together and the flights soon. Thank you very much and good luck with your new projects.

Hello Lou. I have followed your videos and the Towehobbies review. with the Sbach 442. When do you finish it and fly? Is there any particular comment and if you reinforced any special area. ? greetings and luck
@LouRC6 ай бұрын
Hello, I did finish it, and I've been flying it. I also took some videos of the entire plane completed and some flying videos when I first started flying it, and landings. I hope to have the final video with all the details uploaded by this weekend. Which will also include some flying. I did not reinforce any areas. I did add a metal bracket to the bottom, right behind the motor, to use it to attach screw-on weights to it so that I can get the CG forward which was way back. I think a 35cc engine would have worked good in there as well. I'm just swapping the propeller right now to see if I can get a slight improvement on the performance that I'm looking for. However, I am having a really good fun time flying it as is. I'm just looking for a little stronger pull out vertical from a hover. Maybe next year I can possibly upgrade the DLE20 if anything. I like the size because it fits comfortably in my jeep. ... Hope to see more of these flying.

I hate to see a fellow flier crash. I've had mine for five years in the UK starting with 3700 and now 4000. At no time did I consider putting any nose weight on board. It flies beautiful 3D and F3A equally. Are you sure you had a C of G issue? I have never felt the need to put balance weight on any BNF model in the 11 years I've been flying them. On a model of that size I doubt if 2oz of nose weight is going to make much difference anyway. My lipos are pushed as far back as they'll go. I hope you got it repaired and flying again.

Low rates and a nose heavy cg are no good with a 3d plane
@tughillrc63277 ай бұрын
Low rates and this bird never ends up well. Sorry for your loss, Unlike some people I believe in remaidens and sometimes it takes a bit of tinkering to get a RC plane sweet. My rule is that if the parts required to repair a crash is more than 50% of cost of a new one I scrape the plane and buy either a different plane or another of the same plane. Only exception to my rule is my Draco 2.0m which was only slightly more than 50% because I have 250+ flights on it.

Did the pilot realise it was a belly-to-pilot knife edge when he applied the (wrong way) roll-out? Being a bit too far away and hedge, not sky, in the background didn't help.

I built the new one; same model; and I've been flying it for about a month now. The more I fly it the more I'm getting used to its characteristics. I'm having fun flying it, but I am going to re-do the elevator link this weekend to get more throw for better 3D performance, because the way the manual has the setup it doesn't cut it for 3D. Even in high rates. Its better at aerobatics. More down throw on the elevator should get me to perform the maneuvers I can do with my other planes. I hope! Good luck! Happy Flying!

The g1 was an awesome flying plane. I thought the same about the color. The website makes it look a lot brighter and almost metallic. In reality it's like flat army green. Also had some concerns about quality control. Iv gotten a couple planes with crooked rudders. Def not supposed to be like that. I had trouble with programming arua 8. Couldn't get crow mode to activate and it started doing weird stuff. I got zero response from customer support after 3 attempts at contacting them. But I got over it quick once I figured it out and flew it. Never got crow working until recently tho. I had to wrap the wheel pants with green vinyl. The white was terrible. And the canopy glass was kinda crappy. As well as the lenses for the lights were dingy as hell. I do wish the roll rate was a bit better. Mine seemed a little under powered with 6500mah ovonic batteries. It barely had enough power to hover. I'm gonna try better smaller batteries this season. I got an avian esc for reverse thrust and plan on making it 8s and doing some fpv flying. But I enjoy it. Definitely has a big presence. People love seeing it fly. Good luck enjoy!
