A pleasure as always to be a part of a nice build and filming ❤

[@erdelybela2416]

That emmentaler cowling, if anything gives it more of a scale look, and not just because of the cylinder head. Those metal parts like the muffler too, such nice contrast with metal and that red

[@86fatbetty]

nice model. 32c just a nice warm ozzie spring day

[@robertcovell2787]

That was sweet! Little four stroke runs great. Leave it smoky I love it

[@timothybland5449]

one of the rc mags reviewed a VQ model Tucano years ago and had exactly the same problem with the spinner exploding

[@ScrapYardDog64]

Excellent! Needs a GoPro on the seat 😁

Fantastic maiden flight Rob it’s great to see back on KZbin again.

Nothing to do? Get my kit cut ;) Love the flight, nice smoke trails, floater ! Really nice build,well done chapd

Fighting the system at the moment. Cheers matey always value your thoughts.

[@jakeclauson9863]

👍👍for a successful maiden! Thanks for the build series! You could do a budget build by converting a dollar store glider into a full functioning rc

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

possibly an option.

[@slimriddim4145]

A great build series and superb scale-like maiden Rob! Schweeeeeet!!

[@vulturedroid9804]

That flew like a much larger model. It surprised me very floaty. I predict those broken spinner fragments may never leave that flight box again.

nice 👍

Certainly does!

Great job guys, brilliant maiden apart from the plastic spinners. Really popped in the sky. 👍🏻

Cheers Dad🤣

[@terryblackman6217]

Really good flite, may see you at poppham next week.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

yeah hoping to be there.

[@jteddy11]

I watch all your vids, and thanks. Something fell from the sky (don't think it was a camera artifact) at 5:07 slowed it down frame by frame, starts above your plane and falls thru the path. No biggy just thought I would point it out, could be a very very small Foo Fighter, lol. Anyway great plane and build.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

Its a bird 🐦

Thanks Tom

[@darkofc]

👍👍👍👍 Beautiful - congrats !! P.S. I was wondering about LG covers few videos ago (from part 5 on - mounted the other way around) - was that a quiz, hidden gem ..?

Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing ♥

Just got myself a VQ P51 mustang Tuskegee and putting the Saito 65 on it! Good to see you guys doing video again!

Enjoy the build! Can't beat a Saito.

@@Rcmodelgeeks I love the way you react with your friends and the way you build your planes is the same way I do mine I’ve been out of the hobby for about 15 years because of I surgeries and health I’m back in it now where did you save stuff I’m looking forward to more of your videos thank you again

[@tonycalvert2951]

That’s supposed to say with the new technology and safe

[@stevejones9044]

Nice maiden. This might be the first time I've seen you fly nitro. You have that Saito tuned well.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

cheers yeah runs sweet. first nitro.... maybe you missed this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/amSlYqKbq5iCock

[@stevejones9044]

@@Rcmodelgeeks Yep I missed that one! I thought I watched all your videos. I have a Saito 80 that I plan to use for my Sig Astro Hog under construction. Never owned a Saito before but heard they were nice.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

@@stevejones9044 Theres a reason why the Russians use Saito 4 stokes in their drones... They are simply reliable. i've never had one cut out in the air and once they are set up ive not had to adjust the needles valves. Just fill and fly!

[@easystar123]

@@Rcmodelgeeks All my fourstrokes are Saito, they are so dependable and the only time they stop running is when they are out of fuel. Nice plane and nice maiden flight.

[@pedrofdmp]

Actually looks better without the spinner

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

Totally. Maybe a nice domed nut would suit it.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

I saw a review where the plans really sucked and the motor mount screws didn't fit properly, what kind of trouble did you run into.

[@andrewpotter1206]

Excellent,Pity abut the spinners,tho.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

4 strokes are hard on cheap chinese spinners.

[@andrewpotter1206]

@@Rcmodelgeeks can you print one,or will that shatter too?

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

@@andrewpotter1206 On an electric a 3d spinner would be fine. But because the power of IC comes in pulses it puts much more stress on the spinner and prop. Which is why IC props are generally much thicker.

[@andrewpotter1206]

@@Rcmodelgeeks thought so ,The PVC fillament is thin just getting started in 3d printing,dunno much about it.maybe resin printer ...?

Nitro feels so different finding it hard to bring myself to charge up the lipos these days.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

Agreed!

[@dandurkee1372]

Looks great. I think something fell off the plane during takeoff (5:07) - wonder what it was?

Thats a bird. You can see it coming in from above the plane.

I think that maybe too small.

[@russcole5685]

Nice maiden guys. What size Saito, and prop you using. I'm building up the VQ models P40, using a YS91AC, Mas 14*7*3blade. Might look at a APC 14*14*2 blade in future. Flying the VQ models Monaro as my sport trainer ASP91fs with Mas 14*6*2blade. Seems a great model

hi again . Rob do i need a set of Digifleet Crystals or will any 35 mhz do. cheers Dane

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

There were 2 different type sets of crystals for 35 meg. One type won't work in the fleet. I think ones designed for futaba for example don't work in fleet radios.

ill see if I can think of something to design and print on the 3D printer.
