Excellent job! - both the plane and the video!

Many thanks! Tim

Parabéns pelo aeromodelo ! Muito bonito e bem construído ! Sou brasileiro e me orgulho de ter sido um brasileiro-Alberto Santos Dumont- que projetou o Demoiselle...assim como o 14-bis.🇧🇷

Many thanks! Tim

Excellent video. I’m going to try to build one too. Demoiselle was probably the first “personal aircraft” in history, since Dumont literally used it for personal transportation to within the suburbs of Paris. Back them, rich people used to live in ranches, and there was a lot of space to for landing and taking off.

[@TimMcKay56]

Antonio: Thanks for your update! The Sig kit really is a neat one, very complete instructions to build this unique model. The directions are truly from an earlier era with nicad batteries and a brushed motor. A normal brushless motor and lipo battery should work just fine. Good luck! Tim

@@TimMcKay56 thanks Tim! Can’t wait to have my Demoiselle flying at the Golden Gate Park!

most wont want to go through that if faa enforces that. will be federal prison for ones not complying.. they will look at it as a national security risk.

[@TimMcKay56]

Prison only for lying to the FAA on a medical application (true story). No RC pilots. Will all work out!! Remember, this all per Congressional direction. Tim

My background in aeromodelling was limited to the practice of U-control (VCC), and your video tips are very precious. thank you very much.

[@TimMcKay56]

Walter: Glad it was helpful! Tim

[@radiocontrolegliders782]

I like how you brought up FAA in rc.. Most dont realize might get band for good. or just small planes like your will be only allowed . if law passes all big stuff will have to be inspected like full scale and have a license to fly it.. and anual inspections if it happens most guys will get out of hobby

[@TimMcKay56]

Vintage: It will work out. FAA works with all sorts of pilot groups. In the end, we all want a safe national air transport system. Tim

@@TimMcKay56 drone pilots relly screwed over every one. at our feild i have ama but nobody there has a faa # but me. they act like tjey dont need to register there models. faa law now.. to many people out there breaking the law. uf feds show up. some might get there models taken away is how police do it here. and a fine or a night in jail if flying in A_D airspace. scarry if your a real pilot. i used to be..

Very nice RC airplane.

Hello, Tim. This is Walter from Brazil. I intend to assemble the SIG Demoiselle kit and I had watched another video on youtube about its construction and there were some tips on the plan (some small mistakes in the plan). I didn't find this video (deleted) anymore. Do you have any tips on the correct assembly of Demoiselle? I thank!

[@TimMcKay56]

Walter: If I recall, I built the Sig Demoiselle around ten years ago. But I do recall that the photo illustrated manual was essentially perfect. The Demoiselle will go together unlike any other model you have made, but Sig did their homework. A brushless motor would be ideal, as the original was designed for an ancient brushed electric motor.

@@TimMcKay56 Thanks! I feel more confident ...

[@lloydhenry2868]

What did you use for covering? Looks great!

[@TimMcKay56]

Glen: Covering is ideal for this plane. It is included in the Sig kit. Cannot recall the name, perhaps check at www.Sigmfg.com Does not have a sticky backing, will need a heat activated glue, such as Sig Stix-It to apply. Minimal shrinkage, which is good for the light frame. Tim

Nice plane! Please, less talking and more flying?

@@TimMcKay56 do you know weight limit if law passes ? is it like 1pound max weight. they say thos will not have to go through FAA and free to fly anywhere pretty much. one guy is making carl golberg falcon 250 size looks cool. not sure its its to big . i think its mainly weight limet. back ti tissue paper. im ok with it. cheap to fix too. 😁

What creates the high drag that needs more power?

[@TimMcKay56]

Just the overall design, with all the structures in the wind stream..

Many thanks! Tim

[@rccrashburn]

Thank you for your excellent commentary and showing us so many of the details on this Sig kit. Love the design and want one of my own, however, sadly, I will have no indoor places to fly it, so I'd like to locate a larger kit version of the Demoiselle for exclusively outdoor flying. Any kit suggestions would be appreciated.

[@TimMcKay56]

Sig kit works well outdoors with calm winds. Tim
