Hello ! Very nice plane ! Do you know where I could find a more detailed tutorial on this please ? I’ve never built an rc plane and the electronics stuff looks overwhelming but i would love to build a f86 like yours. Thank you

[@scalercmodels9261]

Thanks! To be honest, I can't tell you pther tutorials. However what I can definitely recommend is: - If you haven't ever build a model plane nor are familiar with the required electronics, the F-86 is not the best plane to start with. - A "trainer" plane would be better at the beginning, maybe look for a kit with instructions for use or similar with recommended electronics etc. - if you really want to build it on your own, don't start with a Jet-Type plane. An easygoing high-wing aircraft like Cessna etc.

@@scalercmodels9261 okay thank you very much !

[@billymoore4495]

Good JOB. Why did you not put an EDF in?

[@scalercmodels9261]

Simply because I had the motor left over in my drawer. I build a Sabre some years ago also with an EDF, but didn't make a video of the building process.

Very nice! Do you think a hair dryer could be enough or the heat gun is necessary?

[@scalercmodels9261]

Hairdryer works as well. Just might need a little longer time to heat up the depron. Depends also what power your hairdryer provides. I had one with 2000W, it worked.

[@janoshorvath9430]

Great! Thanks a lot for the feedback!

[@rocgravillon9858]

I love these videos! Any planes currently in the works?

Thanks! Currently no direct plans. Maybe a JU-52 someday...
