Fred Reese’s Grasshopper!

[@agp7073]

She's a screamer to be sure! I really look forward to the videos, great format too. Keep up the good work fellas

[@mbmrc5241]

Thanks! Will do!

[@petermelillo6524]

Love these videos!

[@RC-Flight]

That baby is FAST 😮 Great video as usual, your videos just keep getting better and better! I’m really enjoying this series. Thanks so much for keeping glow powered RC alive on KZbin! ❤

[@mbmrc5241]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@austinisom9698]

You guys always have awesome videos, and I learn something more every time. Would you guys be willing to go over a build video? I'm curious as to how you scratch build from plans i.e. how you cut all the ribs. Scroll saw? Laser cutter? Also, maybe some builders' tips?

[@mbmrc5241]

We have a build video in the works. And typically a scroll saw. We can do some builders tips as well.

I like that one!! It reminds me the Don Muddiman Flying Machine, I had one and regretfully sold it but I have the plans to build another one…. It a little bigger but it flies just like the grasshopper… Might build one of each and compare lol… keep it on with the good videos.

[@mbmrc5241]

Let us know how it goes!

[@michaelamundson3367]

Good video!! Super little fast airplane! Thank you!!

[@mbmrc5241]

Thank you too!

[@deandadamo7796]

Great video and build as usual! You guys rock this channel, love all your content and the classic builds and all has powered planes . I’m so happy I don’t see a foamy on this channel. I wish y’all would post a video everyday haha . Keep up the great work I am definitely a fan of y’all , god bless

Try some Ballistol Multi-Purpose Oil, available from Amazon for the wheels and axles. The rubber FF flyers use it for the prop shaft bearings and is safe for most plastics.

[@thercbarn5001]

Man i really like that one!

[@mbmrc5241]

Thanks!

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Sweet little airplane!

[@mbmrc5241]

Thanks

[@robertmonroe2969]

WOW!! She’s a little too fast for my abilities, but she sure is impressive. That SH sure brings her to life. I hope SH lightens up their engines a bit. They are a bit heavy.

[@mbmrc5241]

We have had pretty good luck with our SH engines!

[@richard1472]

This looks very similar to the Sig Doubler. I got a hot Supertigre X 15 that would drop right in. Lotsa power, and a tuned pipe for more power! And if you're looking for high-speed, go with a 7-6 prop. Now we're talkin'!

[@martinkolm1796]

I❤ the ST 15X I don’t currently own one but they are an absolute beast.. thanks for watching

[@richard1472]

@@martinkolm1796 I could be convinced to part with it.

[@michaelfergusonsr.8574]

Hi I'm so glad your back you guys have great videos and content, but when you do videos at the work bench can you do a few close up shots for us to see what your talking about. Engines, wheels etc. And what radios do you use. Thanks guys looking forward to your next!!

[@martinkolm1796]

That is a great idea I think we can do that. Thanks so much for watching

[@robertcovell2787]

Hey guys, I'm enjoying this series. Got question regarding micro servos, I've only used Hitec HS 65MG and I've had a couple of failures. It seems they don't handle the vibration from a glow engine very well. Ant thoughts or advice? Thanks

[@mattkmbmrc8535]

I have never used the hs 65 but the hitec micros we use never had a problem knock on wood.

[@richard1472]

For glow power, you need stronger servos. The spec sheet may tell you it will put out 40 oz of torque, you need a beefy gear train to handle the load. HS-81's work well for me. Although, there's plenty to choose from.

[@robertcovell2787]

@@richard1472 Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I use standard size servos on my larger planes but I recently built a small Champ with a .25 glow engine and that's the one I've had servo failures with.

[@texastyrannyresponseteam794]

looks like a sweet little plane.. nothing about it is even remotely pattern.. but funfly even pylon.. all day long..
