Thanks for your comment Sammy BIMW. Not flown yet but I am making some pretty drastic mods to get the CofG right. Have just posted a note on Part One. The aeroplane was too tail heavy so I am now moving the motor well forward and adding extra weight to the nose. All experimental at the moment. Hope to test fly it soon!
I see I can understand that the way the weather has been!
I confess I am picking your brains and have a motor exactly the same as the one in your video, (which is very well produced by the way). Do you see any reason why the motor should not fly the plane? cheers
I think there is a very good chance of the model flying. As it is free-flight, I'll test it on a very still day as it may well fly away :-) I have tested for torque by hanging it from its tail and it spins slightly but suspended over an electric fan with the motor runnig full out, it seems quite steady. The electric motor must be better than the elastic supplied with the kit. Thanks for your interest and comment.
@SSRentertainment1 Not flown it yet. Waiting for fine weather. My 'Playroom' has been briefly converted back to my art studio for a commissioned aviation painting. When that is out of the way, I'll get back to playing again. Thanks for your interest. And,.... I have just noticed that iTunes is advertising 'The Hit Crew' song here but that has nothing to do with my production. I used music from my iMovie program which comes with Apple Mac computers.
