Top Flite Cessna 310 Build Video Part III Landing Gear Door Retract System

[bragajor]

dear friend, you know whether the picture of the landing gear would fit in the model airplane cessna 310 cessna 421 c of the nitro planes.

[TinkerManRC]

@bragajor Not sure on this but I don't think so this plane has an 81 inch wing span and I think those planes are smaller. but they may..Thanks for commenting..Tim

[turkishflight1010]

That is an EPIC plane. May I ask what are the Air Tanks for? -Thomas

[TinkerManRC]

@turkishflight1010

Hi Thomas

The air tanks store and provide air to operate the Main Landing Gear. Its what’s used to make them go up and down. Thanks for commenting..Tim

[bragajor]

hello friend. might informs the kit you used for pneumatic landing gear ... hugs jorge Rio de Janeiro Brazil.

[TinkerManRC]

@bragajor I used the Robart system you can find all the items on there site, Thanks for visitng and commenting..Tim

[4INFOAXHOLME]

Hi tim

Just building the 310 I have 2 os 50sx engines , saw quite a few of the models crash on YouTube on take off not enough air speed I think. Do you have any advise for 1st flight my 1st twin

Kind regards

Paul-uk

[TinkerManRC]

@4INFOAXHOLME

I do have some recommendations that I have found with regards to my 1st flight that I would be glad to share. Make sure the motors are running well and are broke in. Let the model roll out on takeoff, meaning don’t yank it up to early. Make sure its CG correct. Use medium flaps for your first landing and watch for the ballooning, add a little down elevator with flaps down..Good luck keep me posted..Tim

[check6ii]

what prand spinners did you use?

[TinkerManRC]

@check6ii tru trun 2 1/2 thanks for asking and commenting..Tim 

[schweitzertom]

Hi, great plane, but the gear moves really fast, can't you slow that down?

[TinkerManRC]

@schweitzertom Hi Great question

Yes I did manage to do that later on by ajusting the air valve ..thanks for commenting..Tim

[jet310]

Beautiful. I'm hoping to get my 310 finished.

[TinkerManRC]

@jet310 Thanks fantastic and good news..Tim

[stormranger6]

youre on the Top 1%. on the game!

[TinkerManRC]

@stormranger6  sweet thanks very much for commenting..Tim

[netdudeuk]

Great model and, as usual, great build video. Arguably the best channel (with Flitetest :-) )

Good installation. Which BEC did you choose and why ?

[TinkerManRC]

@netdudeuk Hi thank you for the kind words and viewing ..went with lipos and voltage regulator thanks for commenting///

[MrF1fanatic]

That's awesome. I love that plane. Great work. How do you feel about an electric conversion for this bird?

[TinkerManRC]

@MrF1fanatic Hi, Hey how are you thanks for commenting and I'm really glad you like this airplane.. LOL yes it would be an awesome plane no matter which power system you run.. Thanks again man...

[yke90]

u should be a engineer or work for Boeing or something :-)

[TinkerManRC]

@yke90 OK LOL hey thanks for the kind words and comment glad you like the video.

[ThePhotomusic]

I don't mean to be a pain in the neck but in your newer vids can you please use port (red light side) and starboard (green light side) rather than left and right, thanks. By the way I am in love with that plane, you've done a great job with it :)

[TinkerManRC]

@ThePhotomusic Sure no worries hey glad you liked it and thanks for the kind words.

[kiwibob72]

Just wondering if there is any update info (ie - maiden) on this 310, or further updates on either the corsair or the turbine?? (I'm getting withdrawal symptoms)

[TinkerManRC]

@kiwibob72 The 310 is ready but the weather her is cols winter. currently working on the turbine and Corsair should have it done soon.. I know what you mean LOL hang in there it will be a little while yet but I will get here up soon as aI can..Thanks man for the cool comment.

[TinkerManRC]

@Olwarbirds Hey thanks for the complement and support glad you liked it and I appreciate it.

[jgoudeau207]

Great plane and way to go on that build. The cat might be adding a danger element to the poor pilot. he might be pressing buttons or general tomfoolery.Cheers-Janick

[TinkerManRC]

@jgoudeau207

Janick Hey how are you? Great comment there and thanks for your support and commenting.

[TinkerManRC]

Hi Hey Thanks for your support and great complement .. LOL I will look up VMC.. Sweet

[MaxPowerCE550]

Nice work on such a complex build. It is going to look very slippery in the air. A+

Better find out what Vmc speed is :p

[TinkerManRC]

@MaxPowerCE550 Hey thanks for the awesome comment. You know it I will be watching out for the Vmc Speed.. Sweet.

[TinkerManRC]

@21jewelslim Hi Hey thank- you for the Complement and support.. It means allot. >>

[popcornreviews]

Wow niiccee!!

The only thing putting me off a twin is constantly having to syncronize the engines and if one cuts it can get a bit hairy in the air

[TinkerManRC]

@popcornreviews Hi Sam yes true I know what you mean it is in the back of my mind. Thanks man Great point.

[burghoorn]

I am very impressed ! Fantastic plane .. thanx for sharing !

[TinkerManRC]

@burghoorn Sure hey thanks I'm really glad you liked it ..

[youtwoba]

Awe man Tim! Outstanding bud, can't can't can't wait to see this puppy in the air!

[TinkerManRC]

@youtwoba Tom

Thank you sir I sure do appreciate you comment. me to I cant wait to get her in the air to. Thanks man

[CWSFDavid]

have you ever though of launching model rockets from a plane?

[TinkerManRC]

@CWSFDavid not really Thanks for the comment

[photobart1]

My LHS just told me Eflite just came out with the heavy duty retracts designed for the heavier planes. Price was 180.00 for the system. This still was not strong enough for your twin?

[TinkerManRC]

@photobart1 Thats fantastic this is the first I've heard of it I will look into it. Do not know that much about the system you mentioned. great idea and thanks man .. Will check it out great comment.

[startazz]

That sure is one sweet bit of kit you have there Tim but way out of my league mate ;-) but maybe one day but don't tell my other half as she might have something to say about that LOL,thumbs up all day long.

[TinkerManRC]

@startazz Ian

I'm sure your other have would let you get one LOL just do some sweet takin.. as always thanks for your comment I sure like it.

[forteleaerieneromane]

nice job!!!can't wait to see it flying ....I have 1 question: whats a glowing system?



[TinkerManRC]

@forteleaerieneromane The on board glow system is Is designed to power the glow plugs on the engine for starting. I'm using this system so I don't have to use a remote hand held glow starter. Great question thanka for asking.

[RCRedBaron]

Holy Cow man! When you said theres a lot of stuff in there, you weren't kidding! But very nice install. Clean, organized, and looks great. It's going to be a real joy to fly after all that detailed work man! Great job! Thanks for sharing! BTW: I noticed the switches are on the bottom, did you do that so it keeps the fuselage sideview clean? Still love the Gear Door mods! Awesome.

[TinkerManRC]

@RCRedBaron Ahhh the RCRedBaron Robert how you doing man? no real reason to locate the switches there other then to clean it up. thanks for the cool comment.. Happy new year.

[petritamas]

Hi Tim!

Congratulations! I must get a twin engined model before I'll die! :)

I'll looking for dealers in Hungary, try to buy it in next year!

Happy new year!

[TinkerManRC]

@petritamas Tom How you doing man hey good luck on getting a twin and thanks do much for your comment and happy new year to you sir.

[alishanmao]

can't wait to see it fly. what brand .46 engines did you use in this beauty? how do you actually sync them mate.

[TinkerManRC]

@alishanmao

Ali How you doing sir the engines are OS .55 AX engines I but each engine on a separate channel so I can sync them. Great question and take care thanks for your comment.

[alishanmao]

@TinkerManRC that is one hell of a sweet plane mate. twin OS.55 woooooo, can't wait to see that whisks away softly before you on a low stable speed pass :D. i have never seen two engines on two separate channels. if you have time drop me a PM on how you did it or show it in video. I might get a twin engine float plane like catalina next and could use your method to sync engines. Gonna build my TT62 Electo with twin big Brushless motors soon

[TinkerManRC]

@alishanmao Hey sure I would be glad to tell you about it and show you ..Hey great reply and very nice comment thanks.. Tim

[photobart1]

Great build just have one question why you picked the air retract system vs the new Eflite heavy duty electric system?  Can't wait to see the plane fly.

[TinkerManRC]

@photobart1 the Efite landing gear would have not been able to handle the 20 pounds of model they are nice but not heavy duty enough for this bird. Hey great question and great comment thank you. Tim

[poerik]

wow nice install thumb up

i w wondering any female in your home ?

if not lol by a plant

grtzzzz

[TinkerManRC]

@poerik  Yes, I moved all the stuff out of the way for the video.. Per my wife LOL cool comment and thank you sir.

[rcplanes1234]

Great work!

[TinkerManRC]

@rcplanes1234 Why thnaks glad you liked it.

[Dad3Sons]

Incredible build, Tim!! can't wait for the maiden! It's a work of art and you've done as complete and professional a job on the fitting and rigging as I can imagine. Super job!

[TinkerManRC]

@Dad3Sons Joe

How you doing buddy great to hear and see your comment thanks again be well Happy New Year ..

[123RCUK]

Hey Tim, just watched all 3 of the vids for this model, it looks AWESOME! You have clearly put in the hours to get such a sweet looking model the professional finish it deserves buddy :-)

1 thing springs to mind, how the heck do you get such a big model to the flying field?

I hope you going to show us the "Getting it setup and ready @ the field"???

Really looking forward to seeing yours flying when the weather gets better....

Happy modelling from the UK buddy :-)

[TinkerManRC]

[jetcrasher1]

X-cellent build,Tinkerman...Can't wait to see the maiden on this one. Also, thanx for the tips on the 70mm install, on the "airliner". I've got the nacells "hogged" out and ready for the new fan/motor set-up. 4S/twin 70's/60A ESC's, should get her airborne, or it'll be one hell of a CRASH.....Santa brought a new vid. camera, so once I get it figured out, or find a decent camera-person, I can start posting some Vid's. How's that F9/turbine comming......

[TinkerManRC]

@jetcrasher1 james

Great to hear from you and about your airliner, your going to love it it will fly like mine if you seen those videos. LOL Looking foward to seeing its a great model. I'm glad santa was good to you your going to like that camera. Just starting the F9F. thanks for your great comment . good luck with that wonderful Airlines shes a beauty.

[flyingchimp99]

I really love where those switches to turn on the plane are placed. I know people who have hand launched their pilon planes and turn the switch off when thy tthrow it. SO the throughtle stays at full and the control is done. They find it few kilometres away.better on the bottom.lke that cessna

[TinkerManRC]
