DEANO - SEAGULL MODELS DHC-1 CHIPMUNK (CANADIAN) - LASER 155 GLOW MOTOR # 1 - 2020

[@EleanorPeterson]

Beautiful. Off down the Chippy... Haddock and chips twice. Plates under the grill. Salt and vinegar, bread and butter, mushy peas and a mug of tea. What a great way to start 2021. :-)

[@tbobborap1]

Love it!

[@robertcovell2787]

OMG isn't just the sweetest thing ever!!!. And it's glow yet, even better! I have a very old Kyosho Super Chippy with a Saito 56. And I'd love to find a Goldberg kit.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks rob

[@daykin17]

There are many closed down airforce training bases from world war II near my home in Alberta that had trained loads of British and Canadian pilots in those Chipmunks, followed by the Harvard....nice to see an RC version with Canadian markings...Bravo I say !!!

[@tbobborap1]

thanks for your comments kin

[@arthurvanaalst]

Beautiful video with my English friends! This plane and the Laser 155 are a super combination. The glow engines are still my favourite engines and the Laser's are top made in England. They can easily beat any engine produced in the far east with ease. And the sound is superior and quirky.

[@tbobborap1]

Thanks a lot Arthur !

[@jerseyeveningflyers445]

Lovely model. I have one and love how it flies, very smooth and stable. Once I've resolved my deadstick problems I'll love it even more 🤣

[@tbobborap1]

thanks for subscribing jersey

[@angelreading5098]

Love the Chipmunk and love yellow aeroplanes,these Seagull products are well engineered and this is the first time I have seen this model in action,very effective flaps and it sits nicely in the air too,as usual a fine demonstration of flying by Deano with the combination of a good man on the camera,well and good to see you enjoying some flying as well.

[@tbobborap1]

many thanks angel, glad you like the vids,

[@garyhutmacher1151]

Once again, great video, great piloting, and great plane. Thanks Pete and Deano.

[@tbobborap1]

Glad you enjoyed it gary - thanks

[@lukelane5463]

You can't beat a good Chippy.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Damn right! ;-)

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this video bro it looks good and looks to fly well, easy on the eye too. Safe travels for 2021

[@tbobborap1]

cheers ken, Happy new year m8 !

[@easystar123]

I love this plane and after watching Deano fly it superbly I'm really wanting to get one as it looks so stable and flys very smooth and I love the colour scheme. Great video, enjoyed watching it very much. PS. Fantastic landing with full flaps. I like it's slow flight capability.

[@tbobborap1]

Good choice aiden, if you can afford a four stroke then go for it as well m8

[@easystar123]

@@tbobborap1 Yes it will be a fourstroke going in it. I'm looking at a Saito 125. The bright yellow colour scheme shows up well . I fly a Spacewalker with a similar scheme only with some red added. The Chipmunk lands really nice. Thank you.

[@modelmonday]

Im hoping to maiden mine next week. Got an RCGF 20cc Petrol/Gas in it. Every time i have tried to maiden it something has gone wrong. This video gives me a bit of hope that once i sort most of the problems it will fly nice. I had a Black Horse chipmunk a few years ago untill I put it in

[@tbobborap1]

good luck with the test flight

[@palicio]

I notice tail gear is not stock but upgraded, Am I wrong? looks much nicer now. How have you done it? I am thinking about building this model to use an OS GF30II gas engine I´ve but from scratch. I think cowling is perfect for hiding this kind of four strokes whose cilinder heads are quite tall. Congrats for your model and flying

[@tbobborap1]

im actually half way through building mine now, got an os 155 alpha going in it, yes lee bought the upgraded leg thats used in the reno racer yak 11, ive got the standard one that came with the kit,

[@Rob-fy9iw]

Awesome looking plane, I'm thinking of getting one of these with a DLE 20cc RA, I think that'd work well in that slim nose. Looks like it flies very well.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks rob, yes the dle 20 with a rear exhaust would fit well and have plenty of power !

[@vulturedroid9804]

That gentle stall really surprised me. I have a seagull monocoupe 110 it ain't no feather.

[@rc-fannl7364]

Great plane, and nice demo. I miss my S720 which is my main acro trainer. Not as powerful as this one, but I had great fun with it till the elevator servo locked up mid flight. Ordered a new one, but it's been massively delayed...

[@jimmyhaley727]

gotta love that scale take off,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hehehehe

[@haraldschevik5213]

Looks like a solid plane!

[@tbobborap1]

good model Harald

[@4291juneau]

Beautiful model, a credit to the builder. As for the pilot? It's Deano "nuff said".

[@tbobborap1]

lol - thanks john

[@mreid08]

Like it!! Great flight!!

Very nice too!

[@ramonmedina1974]

Nice to see a glow again. The Model is new from seagull?

[@tbobborap1]

yes i agree ramon, i think this is a new release !

[@rick13372]

Superb combination of plane, pilot and engine. Just a quick question, how did you over come the issue of the level of the fuel tank in relation to the low carb. height on an inverted laser engine, which can cause fuel syphoning problems. Regards Rick Morris from Bulgaria.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks rick, not a problem with the tank at all, in fact ive been flying glow motors since 1983 and ive never had an issue with the tank height on any of my models !

[@rick13372]

@@tbobborap1 Thanks for your reply mate thats good to know. I would just like to say many thanks for all the time you put into create your excellent videos which are not only of a great source entertainment to me stuck here in Bulgaria courtesy of covid, but are a credit to you and the hobby as a whole. Well done and thanks again.

[@tbobborap1]

theres no room to lower the tank, it goes where the mount is !

[@tbobborap1]

wow - many thanks for your kind comments rick, glad our videos help to entertain ou in these troubled times, i hope you get back home - stay safe !

[@mikekennedy389]

@@tbobborap1 I`m just finishing a kit now. Just the cowl to fit and its done. I have an ASP120FS in mine. I have found carb flooding a slight issue on other models so elected to lower the tank floor area. Dropped by about an inch. Yes, it was a bit of work but should help aliviate any fuel syphon issues. Test flights will prove one way or another. A great video, guys. Deano does indeed fly very nicely. Thanks for posting the footage. This vid was the one that convinced me that buying a kit would be a sound one. I have other Seagull models in my fleet....Steen Skybolt, big rather tail heavy Stearman, Flybaby monoplane, Zlin Z50, the fabulous Gypsy Moth, a discontinued Sky Hawk, the Jungmeister, a Space Walker11 and an MXS-R. Indeed great value kits although forum research is often needed to obtan a sensible C of G location! The makers manual locations can often be miles out!

[@easystar123]

Can you tell me what the plane is like at slow speeds? Would it stall easily? Thank you.

[@tbobborap1]

watch the video aidan its in there !

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hi, Aidan! It looks sweet to me. Give it some flaps, pull on plenty of up elevator and it just stooges about. No nasty tip-stalling, so it seems to fly much like the full sized Chippy - an excellent intermediate trainer. :-)

[@1976axerhand]

Vn. 2 questions 1. Is the cog in the manual okay. I ask because alot of times there off by alot 2. What is the auw tyvm.

[@tbobborap1]

thats spoken about in the video axer, not sure on weight so just stick a good 120/155 fourstroke in it - flies fine

[@1976axerhand]

@@tbobborap1 thx.i caught that the 2 nd time I watched it.xd I was thinking a dle 20 glow to expensive.lol

Pete, please put your domestic skills to work and knit poor Deano a set of mittens before he freezes his piddy paws. Nice model beautifully flown. Jim

[@tbobborap1]

Thanks for the tip jim - lol, no snowflakes in this family jim - gotta harden the youngster up a bit or he`ll just lay on his bed playing bloody tv games all day !!!!!!! stay safe m8

[@barqwoof]

@@tbobborap1 Maybe Deano and I are related...we both spend our days either flying or playing the latest MSFS2020...Best to you Pete and your family. Jim

[@tbobborap1]

same back to you jim

[@tbobborap1]

DEANO & LEE RECOMMEND USING THE 155 VERSION OF THE LASER (IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A LASER) OVER THE 100 AS THE EXTRA POWER IS GREAT FOR VERTICAL MANEUVERS ETC, THE MODEL CAN HANDLE THE EXTRA POWER - OF COURSE YOU CAN PUT A SMALLER MOTOR IN HER AND FLY HER SCALE BUT AFTER 30 SECONDS OF SCALE FLYING YOULL PROB BE BORED SHITLESS AND WISH YOU UPGRADED HER ! AFTER ALL YOU DO HAVE A THROTTLE STICK TO STILL FLY HER SCALE PEEPS !
