Hangar and Shop Tour - Model AV8R Episode 52

[@davidsnyder238]

Lots of fun stuff and history in that Hangar Adam. I certainly felt some nostalgia and got a laugh out of the bathroom. The H9 Spit is going to be amazing when you get to it. The Goldberg gentle lady made my heart skip. Enjoyed the walk through!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

David thank you my friend! Yes sir I'm looking forward to the Spitfire. The Gentle lady...do tell? Must be a great story!

[@epoweredrc]

Very awesome video. WOW the bathroom, that has to be a first. I have never seen that.. ha ha.. Well At least everything is inside. Mine are in the house and in the garage. Think only one is in my trailer these days. Some cool planes.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol! Thanks Chris! Yeah Heidi loves the bathroom part...

[@DadsRCHangar]

That’s great Adam that you and Heidi share upstairs. Wish I had that space 😊. I had to laugh when I say planes i the tub as well, great planes and thanks for the show around 👍🏻

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you Chris! Yeah the planes in the tub is a bit much, but... So...looking forward to seeing your collection in a future Hangar tour!

[@DadsRCHangar]

@@ModelAV8RChannel Maybe when I eventually build Hangar V2. Might be fun to do before. In the middle of trying to get bits and bobs into storage system to help me find things 🤣. You guys have a great day.

Thanks for the tour! Convulsions, I need to ditch my 50 cal ammo can lipo storage setup…. And I need a Cub in my life 😂.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol! Thanks for watching! I agree with both of those...

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Wow that's some 'hangar' guys, you'll need an outbuilding pretty soon if you haven't all ready. I have a umx Carbon Cub new in the box I'll dig out one of these days. I also have the Hangar 9 Camel which I converted to electric, beautiful flyer. Great tour, cheers 👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you Cliff. Yep I knew you had the camel...great plane. Lol...no out building...I hope!!

[@Retset]

Many thanks for the tour and the kind opening sentiments. I've been watching this is in parallel with our Queen's final journey.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks for watching my friend. God bless the queen, and all of you. God save the King.

[@bucketpilot]

Good afternoon Adam, Thank you for giving us a peek into your personal space. As I was following along I was amazed at the similarities between us as modelers. I get a sense of your passion for aviation. I also have that drive as well! Feel free to reach out and we will have a conversation about spitfires! I might surprise you with what I’ve done!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it! You had me at Spitfires. Email us at the channel email...i love to chat about Spitfires, or Cubs, or...ok planes in general!

[@bucketpilot]

Thank you Adam for responding. Forgive my ignorance but I have searched your channel and have come up empty on an email address. Maybe a little guidance would help. Unfortunately I am not on social media.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

@@bucketpilot Sure my friend! I'd just put a link here, but for some reason when I do that YT gets rid of the comment?? Anyway go to the "about" section on our channel home page, and it is at the bottom of that page.

[@JustwingitRC]

Oh my gawd brother, what an episode!!! What an EPIC episode! There's way too much to cover here, but dude, planes in the BATHROOM?!?! Come on man 🤣! Anyhoo, I totally dig that you are showing us all, that yes, we all suffer from the same contagion! You have QUITE an impressive hangar; way too many fantastic planes in there, and I like to see the copious use of plastic storage containers for parts, wheel, tires, motors, ESC, etc., etc. Everyday I think we are more and more alike! I too have many of the same containers filled with the same kind of stuff! Your planes are truly beautiful, but not nearly as beautiful as your wife, who you get to share the hobby with! Mine merely puts up with it, BUT, she will be going with me to our annual gathering of eagles in St. George Utah this week. She does have a lot of fun at the event! Cheers brother, and give little Piper a hug and a treat....what a cute little dog! Fair winds and happy landings 😎👍🤠🤙

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Hey brother John! Man thanks so much! Heidi is a doll, what a woman. I am BLESSED! Piper is a cutie too! Glad your wife is going with you to St. George. Be sure and get her on camera...introduce us all to why YOU are blessed as well! Love to meet her! Hope y'all have a great time bro, I know you will. Looking so forward to seeing the footage!!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

A very enjoyable video, Adam! I love the organised chaos that is everyone's home/hangar... but having models in the bathroom is NEXT LEVEL dedication! 😄 Heidi is an angel for allowing the home to be a hangar (and vice-versa). And thank you for acknowledging September 15th *and* the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yes ma'am. God save the King. Glad you enjoyed the tour...now, I'd love to see yours and Alan's collection. I know you have some gems, and I'll bet some great stories about them!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

@@ModelAV8RChannel I'll get around to doing something like that at some point... unfortunately for us, every model we own is currently packed away in boxes in preparation for the impending house move. I guess there's a video to be done once all the unpacking is done and it should include an introduction to the new flying field 🤔

[@FlankerTanker]

Hi Adam - loved every bit of the tour - thanks Adam - but you never did show us where Bubba hangs out !! - Well organised place you have - I have managed to spread into two rooms on our first floor the other two are out of bounds, but I do also have most of the garage I don't think I would get away with taking over the Bathroom - 🤣, Nice one - I use ex Military 50cal metal ammo box's (with the seal removed) to store my lipos - same result as your safes, and about the same price - good camera work by Heidi - stay well all of you - Martyn

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Hey Martyn! Thank you my friend. Glad you enjoyed it! Its nice having it all in a climate controlled environment isn't it? I don't miss working on planes in a garage in July. 50 cal boxes are certainly an option. I like 50m cal's...lol.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks for watching! Man I had an old motor from a Nitro Planes Pop wing I used. Just cut the nose cone off and cut a firewall out of light ply.

[@Bellairvideo]

Wonderful tour Adam. Just loved each explanation. I have filmed Iwo Jima twice, the latest in 2018. I was on board a ship in 2009 & it was the most moving cruise when we visited Iwo, Saipan, Guam , Guadacanal etc, as they had memorial services at each site & on board were many who served including a Pilot ( in original uniform) who told me he was out of fuel right at the spot where we were & just made it back to the base at Tinan?. ( on my cruise youtube channel) Great presentation mate. Thank you

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Noel thank you so much my friend. Wow. Small world. That had to be a moving experience. What is the name of your cruise channel? I'll check that out!

[@rlbutterfield]

Thank you for the tour, Adam. Think I’ll research a source for those Sentry Fireproof safes; what a great idea!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks for watching Randy. Yep I saw a video years ago where a guy attached a nail to the top inside, and shut it on a 6s lipo with several lipos around it. Smoke went everywhere, but no flames. They all cooked off. I've also seen many lipo bag videos of the bags burning up. It may be overkill for safety, but I like that in this case.

[@rlbutterfield]

@@ModelAV8RChannel expensive for me, but I totally agree with you. Think I’ll start a savings fund. 👍🏻

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Adam. What a cool collection of planes you have. I have a similar hangar setup minus the bathroom hangar. lol. Heidi definately has a talent with painting your planes. Sure would be nice to meet at an event sometime. 👋😊

Thank you Brad. Nice you have a great set up! We're blessed. The bathroom part may not stay that way...Lol. Maybe. Brother I would love to hook up and fly with you!

[@SteffenRC]

Adam. Appreciate you and Heidi doing the walk through of your shop/upstairs... The history and memories you have with this hobby really shows.. I enjoyed this episode very much.... The heath kit radio is something my dad and I started to build in the late 70s.. Same single stick version.. Its never worked, but I still have some heath kit servos as mementos...

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Hey Will. Glad you enjoyed it my friend! I never used that Heath kit, but I have flown with an old Kraft single stick. Surprisingly intuitive. I've often thought about sending that one to Radio South and having it converted to 2.4 and maybe just flying the Kadet with it. Awesome you have memories with your pop as well...what a hobby.

[@airhammer6203]

Trying to get caught up. Great video Adam. Anywhere that's "safe"🤣 works to keep planes. I also use fireproof lock boxes to store my lipo's. I even called Sentry to make sure they were fireproof from the inside out, instead of outside in. JWI will appreciate that plane. 2 gear umx Pitts is next. AirHammer out!!

Hey Hammer! Man thanks so much! Appreciate you watching. Yeah the safes are the way to go for lipos IMO. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the inverted landing attempts with that UMX Pitts!

Love that little cessna aerobat. Unfortunately the motor popped out of mine and damaged the cowl 😭 Pretty jealous of your hangar tho! You got some cool stuff! Ps if you go on Amazon asap someone listed some nos 1" aluminum spinners that was offered as an option for the aerobat. Last week there was 18 but as of a couple days ago there's only 4 left. I got 2 cuz inthink mine is put of balance. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to stop vibrating after 75% throttle. Hopefully the new spinner/prop adapter fixes it

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Jake. It is a great lil plane. Hopefully the new spinner/prop fixes that vibration. I actually have one of those spinners, but the motor shaft is too big for the adapter part of it. I have an aftermarket motor.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

[@mattmiller7494]

My FMS Pitts is my favorite as well which is what drove me to purchase my Hangar 9 giant scale balsa gasser. I set my Pitts up the same as you did during your review of it, the same propeller and battery retainer like you recommended, however I added a 100 amp Avian esc and the motor from the FMS Beaver which is 550kv. I couldn’t recommend the motor upgrade more. Flight times are 7 minutes plus with mixed throttle but the power of the larger motor really wakes that plane up! You should try the upgrade and see what you think. Love the collection mine’s getting large too, I’m up to 15 planes now and am looking at new plane’s daily. I’m thinking of a gasser cub or a gasser super decathlon as a next investment. Have fun, I know I’m going to!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

That's awesome Matt! I'm happy with the power on my Pitts, but I just like to fly scale acro, and I enjoy the challenge of managing energy. Happy flying man!

[@johnyee9688]

Hi Adam, thank you for the tour. Very impressive!!! I cant help laughing that your bathroom is part of your hangar. Also a shout out to Heidi for such great job with the video. May I get some info on your Fireproof boxes for the lipo? I need to get some. Thank you again for all you do.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks very much for the kind words! Lol...the bathroom gets a laugh out of everyone. Link to the Lipo boxes I use: www.amazon.com/SENTRY-Minutes-Fireproof-Handbag-Included/dp/B01LYR3VK6/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3AB9V9MMB4OB1&keywords=sentry+fireproof+safes&qid=1687723259&sprefix=sentury+fireproof+safes%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-10 Worth noting - you can get these at Home Depo, Wal-Mart, etc. Just make sure you get the fireproof only...you do not want waterproof. The flames will be contained, but you want the gas/smoke to be able to escape so pressure doesn't build and cause an explosion.

[@aragorn318]

I hope you have another bathroom you can truly use.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

bit jealous of that lucky gallon corsair, i wanna get my hands on one but theyre out of stock. seems hobbyking only does one production run of each plane they release and once its gone its gone

[@leecollins9112]

Hi Adam got another tip for you and who looks at messages fms pitts v2 to stop tray moving click tray in place heat large safety pin put through the both rails on left or right side then the tray will not move if got no balsa wood around.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Hey Lee. Thanks for sharing. I've seen that. I still prefer the balsa (or foam...whatever you have) on the hatch tongue. It's very easy to do, and it's the only mod that doesn't require you having to keep up with another piece. With our mod you just simply do what you already have to do...just put your hatch on.

[@motoerhead1990]

Hey Adam! I just stumbled across your video and wonder what happend to your plans to make a review of your Hangar9 Super Cub. She looks amazing and I would love to hear what you have to say about her! I am toying with the idea of buying one used and wonder how much of a hassle it it to get it moved about, in the car, assembled on the field etc. maybe you could talk a bit about that too. Keep up the great work! Cheers Toby

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Hey man, we actually have a new series coming to the channel that will show off some of our older stuff. The Super Cub is on that list. It is a big plane for sure, and takes about 15 minutes to assemble at the field. Large planes are always more of a hassle to store, transport, and assemble/take down at the field. To me it's worth it, but they don't go as often as a result.

[@Jackson27mc]

enjoyed your tour very much, can you tell more about your lipo cases , give links please ( I have build the gladiator to ) :-)

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks! The planes in the hangar are always changing! You want to make sure you get the fireproof, NOT the fireproof/waterproof. You want the pressure/smoke to have a way to escape so it doesn't explode. The key is to contain the flames, which it will do.

[@antlerhanger]

Great video !! Which Sentry fireproof safe do you use ?

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Not sure the part number...they change from time to time. The only thing that is key is to make sure its the fire proof only. The smoke/pressure has to have a place to go. Don't get waterproof as those are sealed tight, and the pressure will make it let go. That's bad!
