Im glad to see that Im not the only one that has had this trouble with the main gear. This was what I had sent you a while back. Michael and I are friends so this is something we have been working on for a while. Hopefully all of it can get resolved as mine has been pending maiden for exactly this problem now for a few months.

Yea, can't really fully understand it till we got to the point of being able to cycle the gear. Major Flaw on SM part. I wouldn't fly this plane without a sollution like the new scissor links.

So if I were to be purchasing the aircraft and everything needed to get it ready to fly (including turbines) AND your time to build it… how much would the grand total be?
@thelightersideofrc2 жыл бұрын
Your in the range of about $27,000-29,000 depending on many options.
@michiganengineer86212 жыл бұрын
It may be fixed with the replacement actuators but, it looked like the left wing was moving just a touch faster than the right wing in either direction of travel. I think if I had been holding the nose of that kitty while you were doing the turbine run-ups I'd have wanted some body armor, or at least a stainless steel cup! 🤣🤣🤣
@thelightersideofrc2 жыл бұрын
They needed some tweaking and then poof. Stopped working. The replacements will move slower due to the higher gear ratio. The push power was nuts!
