I did one back in 2015. I made it with a removable wing, single aileron servo, rudder, and elevator. It came in at a little over 16 oz, but flew amazing. Slow speed performance was great, but I put way too much motor on it, a Super Tiger .10 outrunner. I told myself "just stay away from full throttle", well I didn't listen and flutter got me. Ripped the elevator control horn right out. I really did love the way it flew and plan on making another one, with some mods.

This is great - I have been buying Guillows kits with a conversion in mind for a few years. The difficulty has been that the quality of their wood is so poor and the "die-crush" formers and ribs are similarly not always suitable for a decent build. I hope that Guillows gets with the program and improves their quality - as a lot of folks would love to do this I'm sure.

Parklite covering is nice to use in that it is easier to remove the backing than some other coverings and is more opaque. It is good to make patterns for covering from printer paper or manila folder, then cut out covering, slightly oversize with X-Acto knife to avoid waste/mistakes. Use moderate heat with model covering iron when shrinking to avoid melting covering. Have you done a video on covering techniques for small models?
@TimMcKay563 жыл бұрын
Gary: Got that right on ParkLite and the backing. For the brands with a tighter backing, I use reversed scotch tape to try and separate. I use a heat gun to shrink, just very conservative applying the heat. Great point on a video for the covering, will add to my list! Tim

These guillow planes are so hard to build cuse most of them are still die cut lots of sanding on very delicate pieces of balsa and you gotta be very precise on some of them in the placement before flying then you gotta cut stuff out and modify it for rc flight it's crazzy I would love to convert one but I tried and failed three times he has a lot of skill I will stick to rc purpose made balsa kits like the dancing wings ones you got off bang good yes it's a huge box of laser cut wood and crappy instructions but I have built 7 of them took a good month to complete each one but they went together very well and easily and all fly perfectly with no problem and look beautiful. Wish I could get a guillows kit done and flying with rc stuff and not free flight. Maybe I should try their bigger kits like this one instead of the smaller ones like the Cessna

Steven: I usually try for a bit of right and down thrust. But I have made many models with zero-zero. For the smaller models, I am not sure how important the offset in thrust is. For larger models, important for sure. With the Hellcat, I am sure some sort of warp creeped into the wing, maybe ailerons not perfectly centered, not sure. But once trimmed out flew fine. I always use full throttle for the initial take off. Tim

Hi Does any brand of receiver work with any brand of remote or do they have to be the same?
@TimMcKay562 жыл бұрын
Fernando: Receiver and transmitter both need to be on 2.4 GHz freq. Always best to use same brand, they just work together better. You cannot go wrong with Spektrum. Tim

@@TimMcKay56 ok but just as a temporary solution I can use a receiver from a different brand as long as both are on 2.4GHZ right? Thanks :))

1:14 lots of false information here. the F4F was a rather even match for the Zero, just had to fight to its strengths and not play to the Zero's strengths. If you read accounts of Japanese aces even they respected the Wildcat and said if you were cocky the F4F would kill you. The US was shocked by the Zero at Pearl Harbor, the first real announcement to the Western world of the true existence of the Zero. But by the time of Peral Harbor, the F6F was already well into development with the first prototype flying mere months later without a single ounce of its design being attributed to the Zero. Later, the captured Akutan Zero provided insights that led to a few adjustments to the F6F design prior to large scale production. The F4F finished WW2 with a dominant kill ratio against the Zero.

She seems a bit "floatie." I'd move the CG forward maybe1/8". And Tim, you really should try a Dumas kit and stop torturing yourself with those nasty Guillow's kits! The 30" Stinson Reliant, for instance. is a real gem, with more than 100 others to choose from. I'm just sayin'.

Thanks for this tip, I am looking to get into a more RC centric kit after my Guillows, and Dumas seems perfect (gonna go with the Stinson Reliant SR-10)

@@slaquers The Reliant was a fun project that flew well. Because it was designed as a rubber powered free flight model, changes need to be made for a conversion to R/C. Previous experience is recommended.

@@richarddarlington1139 would you recommend the Herr balsa RC kits? Any recommendations for a balsa kit that is set up for RC that wouldn't break the bank? I can't see spending over a hundred for the wood kit with no electrics

It's a shame to build a beautiful balsa model and have to belly land it. Not knocking the builder.
