[@ChrisHarmon1]

Landing reminds me of the first time I buddy boxed back in the 90s at the age of 12. I yelled "yeah first time" and threw my arms up looking around at all the old guys who were just telling me it was going to take many flights to learn. They looked at me then turned and mumbled going back to what they were doing. Needless to say they didn't like that and my dad said "they didn't like that, you shouldn't have yelled out" but I was so excited and normally I never did that sort of thing. Ended up buying a park flyer and teaching myself.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Chris! Great comment! I can't stand that mentality in this hobby that you mentioned with the old timers and the young ones. They exist everywhere and that mentality of it's too hard or complicated and it took me this long so you should do the same is rubbish!

Thanks for demonstrating how a test flight should be done. Good weather. Checks on the ground buttoned up. Taxi checks done. Acceleration straight and climb to a safe height at safe handling speed while trimming, gear away early incase of engine failure, moderate speed and once rates and trim explored, some mild aeros. Alarm set so no previous distraction with fuel level guessing. Pop the gear, check trim, flap, check trim. Stabilized approach to achieve safe touchdown. Home for tea and medals.

I love it, I haven't got anywhere nearby where I am stuck for at least the next few years where I can fly anything but bloody electric models. When I eventually get back to my home territory it'll be out with the glow fueled and petrol engined models and finally get a turbine for a large jet I've got sitting waiting for one. I do love this turbo prop setup but probably won't get one of these as maintenance on a turbine will be enough of an issue for me, let alone one with a reduction gearbox as well. I am extremely impressed by these turbo prop units though.

I love that turboprop engine. I wonder if it would fit a Rodell Modell PC-9 which is just a tad smaller than the PC-21 from Sebart. 10cm less wingspan and 1kg lighter might be a tight fit but worth the try. Rodell PC-9 was to be equipped with a 35cm3 OS-BGX-1 or similar engine and they come at 1.4kg without muffler, so maybe about 1,6kg with pipe and attachements. Not far off the 1,8kg of the Xicoy Turboprop.

Question: i have a friend with same plane and he has to turn the plane inverted in order to retracts go in, did you do anything to landing gear ? It is electric ? Or air retract? Thanks

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Gerardo! Yea this kit comes standard with Air retracts and they are garbage. This aircraft when ordered was built with JP Electric Retracts. They have their own issues but at least you don't need to invert the plane to make them work. The Air retracts that are supplied with the kit have a very small air cylinder which I believe is where the problem stems from.

[@superpela1]

Thanks for the information, i am planning to buy the jet and i was thinking to replace them with electric retracts. Do you think i could replace the cylinders for bigger ones with out problems? Btw your channel is awesome 👌

[@thelightersideofrc]

I think trying to change the original cylinders to larger will not be possible. The overall design of the retracts wont allow it. I would plan on going electric! Thanks for watching!

Is the prop pitch adjustable by radio, or is it external only?

[@thelightersideofrc]

External only.

[@edwardcase]

What is the gearbox reducing the shaft RPM to...what turbine shaft to prop shaft ratio?

[@thelightersideofrc]

There is no direct connection between the turbine and the gearbox. I'm not sure of the gear ratio but this gearbox is the higher RPM model so it will max out at 8000 rpm with the turbine at 225000 rpm. This is all subject to prop diam and pitch.

I was wondering if the throttle stick controls just the pitch of the blades, with some sort of governor managing the turbine to keep the prop at a constant RPM?

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Actual aircraft don't rely on batteries for avionics, telemetry, or ignition. They usually use an APU. Could an aircraft turbine be scaled down even further, to then be paired with a generator? Could a generator be fabricated to install to (couple) the shaft of the primary turbine? Has anyone ever built or manufactured a tiny generator? Not some cheap LED running thing, but an actual device that mimics the output of your RC battery pack? Maybe not to fully replace, but to recharge would be fantastic. Just use the battery to spread out the load. What is the combined system electricity requirement of this plane? I'd think you'd want a comfortable safety margin of at least a 1.5 overrun reserve capacity, so as not to tax the system. A decent magneto, like a riding mower/snowmobile uses, just smaller. Fabricate actual wing fuel tanks? Larger, Commercial aircraft have fuel bladders in the wings. Flight time could be measured by fuel, instead of mAh of a battery. I can imagine an actual scaled down version of a decent Cessna would be cost prohibitive, but still under the cost of an actual plane ($30k)

[@thelightersideofrc]

Great comments and questions. A few years back, jetcat cameout with a generator on their turbines. Basically the starter motor on the front of the turbine doubles as a generator. Uses magnets to Spin the starter motor/generator. Only available on their larger engine but essentially you eliminate battery charging

The PC-21 is a bit of a weird looking airplane from a side profile. If you pull up a picture of the full scale, because of the cockpit orientation along with other lines on the plane, it looks like it's got a nose down attitude. The owner has stiffened up the front strut to help with this as in stock form it's too soft.

Is it me or is this plane not getting the full potential of the Xicoy turboprop...? It just seems to be laging in power..!
