Its been 50 years since I last built an RC plane. Wish the kits back then were like this. The colour coded sections make it very clear. I have no inclination to get back into the hobby, but this video was very enjoyable to watch and would provide an excellent aid to anyone building the same kit.

Thanks a lot! I built my first kit mid of the 80's, a Graupner Amigo II. Indeed a significant difference to our laser cut kit nowadays. I have learned everything back then from my father and these skills still come in handy even with high precision part in todays kits

1:15:00 You don't need the extra loop. C bend goes through the big opening, then push the C back through the big opening and pull the end of the C through a small hole. Use pliers to grip the small end and pull the wire through.

Thanks, great that you liked it! I can only recommend the Maverick. I fly it a lot and it really performs great. Watch out for my flight video which will come pretty soon. Concering your question: Yes, I cover the plan with standard cling film that is attached (and tensioned) with some strips of painter's tape.

Nice build ... to fix the plan on the table I use transparent adhesive film: easier, in 1 operation you protect the plan and it’s fixed on the table

Thanks 😊 Good idea to use transparent adhesive film. It isn‘t one of my favorite tasks to fix the film on the plan and have it properly tensioned. Do you have a link to the one you use?

@@bavarian_rc Hmm, my reply didn't show up. So I have no tools and would really like to know what you are using? Could you list some please? Like: the pins, the weights, that sticky film you are putting on the parts, I saw the cool sander and will try for that one. Clamps, I suppose, they're pretty generic. I have nice scalpels and plastic triangles. Did you find a transparent adhesive film you like? In France amazon I saw a lot but would like to know what you came up with please? Some appeared to have a grid that might be helpful? It looks like you're working on a pressed wood board? What type of wood glue and CA glue please? I liked the music! LOL

Tools can be a long topic and everybody has his own preferences. I made a quick selection of some of the tools I use. The list could be a lot longer. Let me know if you are interested in anything else. Aeronaut building board (1500x400x40mm) (750677): aero-naut.de/Balsa-Baubrett-400x1500/750677 Weights: 6x3x150mm flat steel (around 215g each) cut from 1m bars from the hardware store and clear coated to avoid corrosion Pins: Aeronaut "Aero-Pick" (785502): aero-naut.de/Aero-Pick-Stossnadel/785502 Needles: Prym needles (30x 0,6mm) on Amazon: amzn.eu/d/0d5tMGfN WEDO scalpel from Amazon: amzn.eu/d/0baUaU9w Wolfcraft clamps in different sizes Perma-grit sanding block 140mm fine/coarse Perma-grit files set (fine) 140mm length Set of Standard files (large) from Pferd Woodglue (PVA): Ponal Express 3 different CA glues: low, medium and high viscosity and activator spray... I use mainly EVERGLUE from Amazon (amzn.eu/d/034F9wJq) but any other brand will do (unless you work with EPP foam then you need to use special CA suitable for foam) R&G laminating epoxy (40min) (resin L with hardener L): www.r-g.de/art/100110 For covering the plane I use either ORACOVER or ORALIGHT heat shrink film. For my custom decals I use standard vinyl from the hardware shop. A more professional solution would be ORACAL 751c For the transparent film (for covering the building board) I am still using my non-sticky one as I didn't have time to research further.

Fantastic video. The first (and only) model I ever built like this was very satisfying, but I certainly made a few mistakes. Would you classify this as an appropriate second model to build? It's exactly the size and type I would enjoy flying.

@bavarian_rc 10 ай бұрын

Thanks, great that you liked it! There are some key elements for this build, like getting the fuse straight and not warping the control surfaces during covering with film. They require a bit of experience. I would rather say the Maverick is a 3rd than a 2nd model to build. But if you take my video as a guide and go carefully step by step, why not?

On my balsa build of the Triple Neo Thermic....I have experienced warping of the wings structure. I am using standard carpenter glue and appropriate weight to hold down the layers as the glue dries. is there a remedy for this warpage?

@bavarian_rc 10 ай бұрын

Hi Peter, on the Triple Neo Thermic I had no issues with warping. In which area is it? There is some chance of recovering the warping during the covering with film by shrinking the film differently strong in order to counteract the warping. Nevertheless you should not expect too much from that. If the warping is really bad you might have to consider removing the part that caused the warping and redo it. Was it caused by the sheeting or was it present before? Were the sheets already warped before glueing? in that case even after using weights and waiting for the glue to fully cure the forces in the sheeting will try to get back to the initial shape which could result in warping. Balsa is normally not so critical but plywood has more power.

I built this model last year, I am still trying to learn how to fly it correctly, I tend to fly it too slowly and find that I keep inducing a stall, when this happens near to the ground damage is caused, so I have had to make some repairs.

@bavarian_rc 10 ай бұрын

I am curious to see how it will fly. I will remember your comment for the first flights and be careful. Have you tried changing the CG and maybe also the angle of attack of the horizontal stabilizer? Both are connected and have a strong influence on the flight characteristics. If the thin fuselage is not perfectly straight your hstab could be a little bit off.
