Top RC P51 gunfighter DLE 55 rc airplane arf

[@nealrehm6900]

I have the same plane the 60 size version. I wound up putting carbon toe around all the important inside formers because they were just breaking loose. It’s very tough to put the wing bolts on especially in the front. I fly with an 18 MZ and I have conditions Select set for my trims when I actuate my flaps. Spektrum has flight modes, the same thing. In other words, you have separate trims for the flaps. This makes it easy to dial-in all flap positions. I I have a separate tail wheel steering servo independent of the rudder. That way I can dial-in separate expo on the wheel. I also use a throttle up on takeoff through flight, then idle down for approach to landing. I had really bad luck, with the first brand new engine installed on the gunfighter. It was a GP- 61. I could not get a stable, idle or high speed needle they kept changing. I finally got a good deal on a.DA- 60 and installed that engine. It’s a perfect match for the gunfighter. I didn’t like the engine box that is supplied in the kit so I made my own out of real quarter inch plywood with a half inch engine firewall. A half inch triangle hardwood stock inside and outside of fuselage sub firewall. Next time out our weight that all up weight. But I’m guessing 33/34 pounds. The gunfighter flies like the dickens on a 22/12 XOAR prop. I one last thing is that all my Warbirds have the aura, Gyro stabilization units in them. Two of the Warbirds run, the aura pro. My other two Warbirds just run the aura eight open stock. Note the auras won’t work using a smart fly power, distribution net work, however, they do work on the power box system. If you’d like to see mine flying check out.Lomshivok1 KZbin and current PGRC pre event 2023 September 20th.

thank you for the comment. Very cool p51 to fly. Stay safe.

Very nice plane. Congratulation for the successful flight (: why do you not use more flaps? Looks way to fast. My warbirds in this size use to react very nice to a lot of flaps (45° plus, for Me 109 and also Corsair) I always check the best position for me during flight, use a continous switch on the remote and a guy who helps you and puts the flaps out gently step by step until you have the feeling that the plane has a stable slow position with some good engine thrust to Keep the speed and puts the nose down quite a lot. When you found the position you can later ad a mixer with elevator if you like so the nose down effect is lowered automatically. If you find a good flap position, you can mainly control height with engine thrust

Thank you for that information. I’m learning the air plane flies. Really good …learning how to use the flaps. That information will help me quite a bit. Thanks for washing.

You use rudder when taking off

[@russellsvideos7260]

Use Rudder as much as you can..be gentle

[@eaglecommand]

Good video, just curious though, can you get covid from an R/C model ??? (mask)

[@russellsvideos7260]

Yeah right good question ha

[@georgiaconservative3253]

Great flight! I just finished the Blondie Scheme. Do you remember how much nose weight you added to balance and all up weight? I had to add almost 5 lbs with a total weight of 32.lbs. I was a little disappointed in the weight

[@russellsvideos7260]

Awesome great Flying I got about 2 pounds of lead you can see in the video and then another pound to mimic the cowling you can see in the video. Fly 2 pounds of lead with the cowling on flies great would like to see your bird you got a video

[@russellsvideos7260]

Ok

That’s a cool comment thanks Sold that shouldn’t have flies great now I’m looking at the top RC F4u corsair three-cylinder. That’ll be interesting

[@MrDrunion]

Great job. Yeah, 89" is big, but, my Ziroli Mustang is 96" with a 72. Somebody always has a bigger one. lol What does your airplane weigh? When you set the CG, how far back is it from the center of the wing? Do you know what angle the gear is forward from the chord line? If you have time, just asking. Oh, nice landing.

[@russellsvideos7260]

That’s awesome not sure the weight I’m guessing about 50 pounds it’s heavy. Got any photos of your airplane would would like to see
