Hello, best regards from Brazil. I have 2 calmato. Very first obe edition glow powered with OS 55 engine, and the last one (red) edition electric. Both are awesome! We really appreciate to fly calmatos here in Brazil. Have a good flights!

Hi there, thanks very much for the comment, its reall appreciated, great flying to you, take care

[@wrxs1781]

Great revue, I am waiting with great anticipation for the maiden flight.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks very much, I will post a flight video in a few days, appreciate your comment 😀

[@RCTaildraggin]

That's a really sharp looking plane my friend, finish on it looks pretty good! Can't wait to see it fly! 👍

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks Jerry, I am really pleased with it, flies just lovely 😊

This is the second time I have watched this very good video. I'm about to buy my second Calmato 40 sports as I love the way they fly. The one I have is powered with an OS 55ax and its terrific. I just want another one while they are still available as I have a Saito 62 and a Saito 72 lying around doing nothing and I think either of these two engines should be OK for my new Calmato. Thanks for making such a great video.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks very much for the comment, its really appreciated, a Saito 62 or 72 would be excellent in the Calmato, being a little more powerful than the 56 I have in mine at present. I have posted videos with the Saito 56

This is a great plane to fly. I have the purple version. Enjoyed watching this video. Everything was very well explained. Thanks for posting and good luck with the maiden flight.

Thanks very much, appreciate you taking the time to comment 😀

Thanks a lot, great video. I just ordered a Calmato Sport 40. Sport-trainers with glow are great, just "grab-and-fly". Sadly they are disappearing from the market. Impossible to get hold of here in Norway. I had to order from Wheelspin in UK.

[@MarkRobinson555]

They are a great plane, you won't be disapointed

Jeg har ett i norge, eskenytt hvis du vil kjøpe

[@NormanLedoyen]

Need to see it fly now Mark. Make the video next please?

[@MarkRobinson555]

Just editing the video now, will be posting a few days 😉

CA glue all joints, then do the epoxy w ethanol coating.

Hi. Good video but I have a question. When setting up the elevator to get it central, do I line up the bottom of the surface with the bottom of the rear stabiliser or the top of the elevator with the top of the rear stabilsier surface? You get what I mean? Unlike the ailerons, the elevator is not symmetrical. Bottom is flat but the top is curved.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi Mark, yes, I understand the question, and I would say I get it central. The elevator on my Calmato is very slightly tapered, being symetrical. To help get it central I lay a ruler side on along the top and underside of the tail plane, in turn to make sure it is central, so hence the same gap on the to and underside, hope that makes sense.

[@Mark-wx1ho]

@@MarkRobinson555 Once again thank you for the swift reply. It makes perfect sense. 👍🏻

[@MarkRobinson555]

Good luck with the set up and your maiden flight, you won't be disappointed with how it flies, they are really nice, I have been flying mine for over a year now with no issues

[@Mark-wx1ho]

@@MarkRobinson555 Thanks.

[@spud3746]

Hi Mark. What accessory did you use please to make the fuel-tank a 3-way system? Thanks

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi there, I changed the original tank bung for one I had with three ports, so I would have one dedicated for filling.

[@Captrez77]

Awesome 👏

[@easystar123]

Hi there, sorry for all the questions but interested in your opinion. I have the Calmato sports 40, the toughlon purple colour with OS 55ax. I'm buying another Calamato Sports 40 for a Saito fourstroke I have. Do you think I should this time go for the red colour Calmato like yours? Do you like that version? Or should I go for another Purple colour Calmato? Many thanks, your answer is much appreciated.

[@MarkRobinson555]

I really like the red version, and if you have the purple, go red!! no problem with the questions happy to help

[@easystar123]

@@MarkRobinson555 Many thanks.

[@TDH8988]

you say, Epoxy. Do you mean epoxy hars? Great video! Good tips also in first part. :)

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi there, for fuel proofing I use 30 min epoxy thinned a little with alcohol, hope that helps, sorry not sure what you mean when you say "epoxy hars?" pleased you like the video

[@TDH8988]

@@MarkRobinson555 im sorry. Hars is the name in Dutch. I meant epoxy resin. Thought after seeing your nice videos about the calmato I'll order 1. the fuel leakage protection seemed very useful to me. When I looked up some information about epoxy, it turned out that there are many different materials. Hence the question. Thank you for the response and best regards from the Netherlands.

[@StankoPerko]

Like your videos. What servos do you use? Cheers.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi thanks for the comment, it's appreciated. Here is a link to the servos I used, which I find very reliable www.theworldmodels.com/store/product/4268/TWM-Standard-Servo-SV4032-E-450mm-Cable-4-1kg-Torque

[@zubuxstein]

Futaba S3004 is more than enough all the way to a 1.20 type plane.
