When i heard the word Safetywire i instantly respected Your build technique. You do a fantastic job explaining bulids in your videos, and as an Aircraft Technician, safety wire is everything. Keep in mind Chafing as another subject, it is crucial to prevent rubbing of components. I have seen a rubber tube rubbing through solid steel, so it is important too. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the video. Cheers!

Excellent video. I am doing my first build of this caliber and I should have seen your video first. I did all you instructed but I had to labor over each decision on what method to apply. I'm hoping I wont have to slot my cowl for my muffler. I am starting with the holes first. I have a carpenters shop and I have been employed as one and have done quite a bit of home improvement projects but I can only hope to develop the skills you demonstrated with the Dramel while slotting the cowl. Damn!

Ryan, If you use locknuts with nylon in them you do not use loctite. If you use metal only nuts then you should. Basically use it anywhere there is metal to metal. I can't remember that part of the vid off hand but the above is the way to go.

dear chris, if you wan't to put smoke on youre plane how big is youre smoke tank going to be, and where are you going to put the smoke tank? Thanks for the build tutorial of this beautiful plane.
@Hercdriver77779 жыл бұрын
I generally don't put smoke on nice planes because it is a PITA and is hard on the covering. However, if you do put smoke on the plane because it's a competition plane or you just don't care, it is run off a pump and you can really put the tank anywhere it will fit. Generally, shorter lines are better. In this plane I would put a 32oz tank in front of, next to or on the fuel tank and run the pump,batteries and switches as far back as I could.

Chris Jewett is it necessary to leave the solder leak between the barb and the tube or only solder the 2 ends of the barb? please explain! I build my extra 300 exp step by step with you and I am very impressed with your techiques. :)

Dear Chris, I want to ask if it is always necessary to give 3 degrees right thrust and -0.5 degrees up thrust when mounting the engine to a plane like the one in this video? or does it depend on choice like someone might want to have 0 degrees for a reason. Will be very helpful if you answer. Thanks.
@Hercdriver777710 жыл бұрын
Short answer is yes. Usually 3 degree right for left turning props and little down. The amount could change per plane design usually based on the length of the fuselage after the CG and the area of the fin and rudder. The engine angles are there to offset how the slip stream of the prop react with the fin/rudder and horizontal stab/elevator. Pretty standard in full scale aircraft as well.

Chris - Did I see that you only Velcro down your receiver? I've built a lot of your planes and usually use two sided tape on the bottom with a tie wrap around it - probably over engineered. Can I get away with Velcro on the bottom only? Let me know oh wise one....
@Hercdriver777710 жыл бұрын
Dan, Either way will work. My fear has always been that with gassers where there is more vibration that I don't want the RX tied directly to the airframe with a zip tie. If you use good quality sticky Velcro the RX will never come free. I use the blue sticky Velcro that comes in a huge roll.
