FMS (Airfield) Messerschmitt BF-109 Radio Control Warbird

[jjldk2]

Hi

I like your green "runway" What is it made of  ?

[rva1945]

Does it come with radio system? If not, how many channels are needed? I have a 2.4GHz, 4-ch radio system.

[GiantmanSystems]

@rva1945 I think there is a ready to fly version, otherwise you will need at least a 5ch radio if you want to use the retracts.

having 4 turbines plus other gas planes i thought i would buy one of these just to mess around with bottom line there trash look ok but just junk made out of egg crate foam save your bucks and buy a park zone which i did over 200 flights on it now great fun

[GiantmanSystems]

@storchnuts Haha, you're funny. These are good planes, certainly not parkzone out-of-the box ready though. Parkzone just don't have the size of FMS warbirds which is why I like these :)

Which song is that?

Flew mine with the CG as stated in the manual and almost wrecked the plane. It was totally uncontrollable at anything less than 70 per cent power. like when landing! Had to move it ahead 15mm ( or more ) with a 3000 mah 4 cell

[eclipser2004]

So it has a 14x8 Master Airscrew, but what type of spinner and backplate did you use? I built mine last night and can't wait to try it!

[metalmikexx]

I noticed the two bladed prop. What size did you go with? Mine came with a 3 bladed prop,

[Giantman2001]

@metalmikexx My 3 blade was warped and unusable out of the box so I use a 14x7 instead with a nice alloy backed spinner.

That's sweet

[armhunter]

I just ordered mine and cant wait to get it.. I am going to fly it this Sunday for sure!

[Giantman2001]

@armhunter Nice job, you will love it! Make sure you have plenty of speed for take off and shoot a video if you can?

Cheers

[armhunter]

@Giantman2001 Sure thing! Ill video it, and throw it up even if I crash... one question, how was it trimmed out of the box? did you have to adjust much? thank you.

[andyjabben]

I have a buddy getting this plane and im getting the yellow p51, do u know where he could get spare parts like the fuselage and wings

[Giantman2001]

@andyjabben Pretty sure xtremehobbyDOTcomDOTau stock spares.

[leistungep3]

Great video.

[GiantmanSystems]

@leistungep3 Thanks mate, the plane is a lot of fun. Just wish the weather would cooperate so I could fly her more :(

[TheSuperrc]

Awesome video. I just recieved my kit today but still debating on what motor to put in i was thinking of 35-36c Turnigy 1450kv. Do you think that would be good enough with a 3s 4000mah battery and a 54A esc?

[GiantmanSystems]

@TheSuperrc I really don't know sorry. The FMS version comes complete with motor and ESC so I haven't had to worry about power configurations. I can say that with four cells it flies with authority and I have never wanted more power.

Good luck with yours!

[eclipser2004]

@TheSuperrc I think 35-36 is too small. Maybe a 42-50?

[TheBuilditBoys]

Daddy that's a cool viedeo
