Is that in Washington?

Yes, center position on the stick should should include elevator slightly up and ailerons slightly down for more lift, like flaps, but not as low as possible. Why not? Because when you move the stick to the left and right you still want the ailerons to move both up and down to provide the maximum left and right steering control. If aileron is already all the way down it can not travel further down so the plane would have to rely on the other aileron only. You want both ailerons to roll the airplane left and right. Once the wings have rolled left or right, using up elevator will complete the turn. We call that “bank and yank.” Bank left or right, and yank up elevator to turn. That’s how the airplane turns without a rudder. Hope this helps.

@@2fly4awifi87 thanks for yr explanation, that's clear...but if any youtube link regarding this setup, it will be much much greater...thanks anyway

@@2fly4awifi87 that's great..however is it ok if i use battery 2200 mah 30c 3s instead of 1000 mah 4s 35c as you used with other components remain the same?

@@DONSOEL I’ve done that… one flies like a jet and the other flies like a tank.

It’s a 3 channel with ELEVON mixing. That’s where the transmitter mixes elevator and aileron electronically. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXzUqIeHoaaKl5o

Thanks. I’ve found that setting the ailerons a little bit downward provides slightly more lift at slower speeds, similar to flaps. Some refer to these as flaperons (flaps/ailerons combined). It’s achieved mechanically by moving the servo horn one tooth forward on the servo cog.

@@2fly4awifi87 thats explain a lot.. will try that setting a little bit.. and start from there 👍🏻

@@2fly4awifi87 How about the aeleron and elevator throw setting? Also the expo setting.. Btw that Zipties landing gear are Brilliant

@@zayyandzikraka3833 I prefer 50% throw with 35% expo on the ailerons and 125% throw and 35% expo on the elevator.

I’m not sure what type of foam it is, but it’s much more durable than dollar tree foam. Unlike dollar tree foam, there is no paper coating on this, rather it’s a more rigid material all the way through that’d be difficult to tear with bare hands. Tape does not stick well to this foam. Hot glue is the best adhesive for it, but use it sparingly to minimize the overall flying weight.

Glad to hear all the settings were helpful. It’s unfortunate HK doesn’t sell this one anymore. I don’t have the sizes or plans, but if you do a Google search for “F-35 RC airplane” you can get it from other sellers. I just did and found here at aliexpress.com m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001281751504.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.5d806f9a0YD5y2&browser_id=642341dd61c84c8fa692e48523391c90&aff_trace_key=1fac67f015d345cdbc273c439dd28e43-1601068903507-03354-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=h0efnvy2ocatijxs1757aab76511f10792f023a74e&gclid=&_imgsrc_=ae01.alicdn.com%2Fkf%2FH5329b9ec6ca546a08a336dc0854571080.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg

Thanks, but it's a scam - they don't have them, they just can't be bothered to remove it from their site. I have a 3D - I'll cut one out myself, cheers, Den

Hello, no I don’t use a flight controller. A friend tried to put one on his recently, but he found that it flies better without one.

The zip ties and hot glue definitely add weight. I have some that I land in grass without any landing gear, and they fly the best.

Yes, I’m still flying them. Such a blast.

@@2fly4awifi87 Nice. For mine I will use 1400KV brushless motors, 8x6 props and 3S 2200Mah Lipos, since I have plenty in stock. But I may upgrade to 2200kv and 4S Lipos on future kits I may purchase.

That will work, however, I have flown mine on both 3S 2200 and 4S 2200 and found that they were both too heavy for my liking. A 3S 1300, or my personal favorite, a 4S 1000, feels like half the AUW, all-up-weight. Finally, half the AUW feels like they have twice the power, and that’s why they’re so fun to fly.

@@2fly4awifi87 I also have several 3S 1500, I might try those as well since they are lighter. Thanks!

Hi, they’re standard zip ties, not modified. Glue one zip tie on top of the other, and add another - 3 layers total to make them more rigid.

Oh wow, that does sound good. I’ve never tried a 6 blade multi-rotor prop. Just watched this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ-yq4emdt-Aq8k

I got some extra Gemfan Flash 6042 6x4.2x3 6 Inch 3-Blade props that I used on my Hubsan 501S drone. Maybe these could work on these jets as well?

It’s been about a year, but it’s still in one piece.

I have several of these planes and use both pusher props and standard props. The important thing is to make sure that the printed numbers on the propeller are facing forward. Connect the three wires from the motor to the speed controller and apply throttle to see which way the propeller spins and see if the plane moves forward. If it does not, just swap two of the three wires and the prop will rotate the other direction, clockwise or counterclockwise.

Yes. I use a Spektrum DX6e transmitter and a lemon-brand receiver.

6 x 4 prop, see this and more details in the description

ok sir

You’re welcome. Yeah, they’re very durable because the foam is like a mix between rigid foam and a sponge. I flew mine into a metal pole, bent the foam back into shape, and used hot glue to repair the damage. Very forgiving and easily repairable.

@@2fly4awifi87 Awesome. Good to know. Thanks for the fast reply...

Hi, by switching any two of the three wires extending from the electronic speed controller (ESC) to the motor will reverse the motor rotation from clockwise and counter clockwise. So it’s okay to buy either rotation prop and switch the wires accordingly during assembly.

Also most motors are non-directional so they can easily run clockwise or counter clockwise. Hope this helps.

@@2fly4awifi87 thanks for the reply and info im more of a glow guy in the rc world and slowly making the transition to electric im getting confused with this as i used to have a glow model that was a pusher and had to get props suitable so thats where im getting all confused so basically all i need is the motor specified and a prop dosent have to be a pusher prop right ??? sorry if im sounding dunse i just dont want the plane to go backwards just cause the motor is facing that way lol so all the help that i can get is well and truely appreciated , cheers and thanks again for the reply 2FLY4AWIFI, and love the name you got - Awesome !

Andrew Reece yeah, I used to wonder the same thing about rotation. Always glad to help. Yes, either CW or CCW props work fine. During assembly when I plug in the three wires I test to see which way the thrust blows, and if the thrust pushes the plane backwards I simply swap any two of the wires, and I’m good to go.

@@2fly4awifi87 cheers bud so glad that u could understand my delema ill see how it all goes when i get the model and bits and will let u know , cheers agian mate.

No worries. Yes, use a 6” diameter with a 4” pitch. You’re welcome!

@@2fly4awifi87 Just FYI, I've seen a HK vid, using all three G 'n G aircraft with a (near!) vertical takeoff, but I'll stick with the conventional, as I suspect they may have different power trains! Should be ready by Monday. Den.

@@denismoran670 I believe this power setup on these GnG aircraft could achieve vertical takeoff. It has a greater than 1:1 power to weight ratio with a 4S 1000 battery. Might need some launch rails (straws on the wings and rods mounted in a wood launchpad) for initial takeoff to keep it pointing upward. Try it! :)

@@2fly4awifi87 Not sure I've got the bottle for that! I'll fly it and get used to it first - will keep you informed, da boch, (goodbye/Welsh!), Den

In spite of hree months of gales and storms, I managed to fly this great aircraft! It's a real delight, and thanks for your help - also flying the J20, but finding it a handful! Diolch eto, Den.

I use a 6x4 prop; 6” diameter, 4” pitch.

أفضل طريقة لمعرفة كيفية الطيران هي الحصول على جهاز محاكاة الطيران الواقع في الراديو. أوصي بـ "Real Flight 8 Horizon Hobby Edition." بمجرد أن تتقن الإقلاع والهبوط دون الانهيار على جهاز محاكاة الطيران ، فأنت مستعد لطائرة تدريب مبتدئين.

Your question: I have airplanes but I do not know how to fly If you can answer, please need to learn how to control the remote control. My reply: The best way to learn how to fly is to get a realistic Radio controlled flight simulator. I recommend the “Real Flight 8 Horizon Hobby Edition.” once you have mastered take offs and landings without crashing on the flight simulator, then you’re ready for a beginner trainer airplane.

Ok thanks

@@2fly4awifi87 Ok thanks

Thank you. It will not take off from grass with the cable ties, but it is easy to hand launch underhanded and then do a nose up high-alpha to land on grass. The cable ties are necessary on pavement because without them the prop gets damaged when landing.

@@2fly4awifi87 Launch is imminent, so one last question (NOT for the maiden, or 'bedding down' flights!) - do you think it would carry a mobius camera, perhaps mounted on the top fuselage / cockpit/wing position? Diolch, Den, Wales.

Denis Moran yes, it has enough power to carry a Mobius camera. Best position would be towards the center, but it could also be placed slightly off the centerline near the cockpit to counter the rotational propeller torque.

@@2fly4awifi87 Maidened yeserday on a windswept Welsh upland moor! The cable tie undercart worked really well, as did your advice on the control surface settings.Thank you verymuch for your help:my next project is an Artic Cat (imminent), and a Lidls chuck glider to be converted to an edf twin. I'm going to use the cable ties for that, as well - keep you posted! Diolch yn fawr eto, Den, Swansea, Wales

Denis Moran glad it worked out well. Have fun and keep us posted.

The zip-ties are better for protecting the prop when taking off and landing on pavement. For grass it’s better to hand launch and land on grass with or without zip-ties.

Hello, yes, you can use carton pancocoa (corrugated cardboard) or any material that is lightweight and rigid.

@@2fly4awifi87 Thanks, greetings from Ecuador

Nano Lopez you’re welcome, and greetings to you in Ecuador from The States

You can, but even a 2S 2700 zippy battery has half the voltage of the 4S 1000 and weighs 33% more (160g vs 120g) so you’ll probably need more throttle to keep it flying, which would in turn deplete the battery faster and decrease your flight time. Generally more power is also more fun. I can get 3-4 minute flights going fast with the 4S 1000 or 6-7 minute flights with easy throttle management. Lighter more powerful planes are also easier to maneuver if you get in trouble, but you can try both and see which you prefer. I prefer this performance and take five charged batteries so I can fly longer. IMHO this setup rocks.

@@2fly4awifi87 what about the motor into 2450kv and 2200mah 2s

fj toys aeromodels I’m not sure, but maybe you can try it and see. This airframe is super light, so if that motor/battery combination works well in your other light planes you probably will like it in this one. There’s no right or wrong combination - it’s just personal preference. It’s fun to try it and see for yourself.

@@2fly4awifi87 i want to test it with my WingDragon on 2s 2800mah and 3s 1800mah and see the flight time later. Im already have both battery

fj toys aeromodels that sounds good. Maybe you can post a video of it on your channel and then add a link here.
