Tower Hobbies / ST Model / Sheng Teng - Arcus M - Maiden Flight!!!

[@rafaeltorres2886]

I've been watching your old videos and was really impressed with the aileron mod you did to the Tower Hobbies balsa sail plane , I dont know why companies dont add ailerons to polyhedral wings gosh yours flew great.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes, but the THREE CHANNEL experience was kinda the thing with polyhedral wings. I just always felt too out of control to really enjoy the experience. I bet it would be different now that I'm a better pilot. Thanks for checking out some of the older footage! There's a LOT of it ;)

[@rafaeltorres2886]

@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah most likely.

James Bond version of sail planes. Put a little well dressed man in there. Except no motor noise before he sails into the party. That stabilizer would blow his cool factor too. What a beautiful plane, especially when looking at it from only the side in flight.

I will get more views when I have the RMS fixed. This was a disappointing maiden... Should have a new one in a week or so.

For the record, it gets really old having a troll come through an thumb down most of my videos. I think I know who it is (Jeff).

[@benosborne7890]

it sounds like the servo is stripped. not a nice job as its molded into the fuselage :(

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I got it out without cutting the fuselage, but it was ridiculous. I called Tower Hobbies, and they had me call Hobbico, and they decided to replace the whole plane. I just shipped it in today. I just wanted them to send the fuselage so I didn't have to redo absolutely everything. I just hope I don't have the same issue, or worse yet, another issue that would have been avoided if they'd done what I asked...
