In één woord: GEWELDIG. Ben hetzelfde toestel aan het bouwe. Is het mogelijk om aan te geven welke modificaties je hebt aangebracht? (ik heb óók 3x 11cc 4t en verheug me op het geluid. Op jullie filmpje klint het prachtig ;-)
Vooral aan de binnenkant zitten erg veel modificaties. Het plankje voor de servo's is helemaal zelf gemaakt en ook hoe de besturingsstangen zitten is eigen design.
Verder zitten de vleugels op een andere manier vast, een buis aan het buitenste deel van de vleugel gaat door een gat aan de binnenkant waar vervolgens een bout doorheen gaat.
Over het algemeen zijn alle mods ervoor om de kist sterker te maken, aangezien sommige standaard dingen erg flimsy waren.
Do you mean 0.40CC 2T 3x? That sounds like a very small amount. We made some modifications to the original building plans, so the plane was a bit heavier than it should have been, another reason for the high amount of power.
The wing dropped because of a balance thing, which scared us if you search for "Italian bomber crash". It had the same problem, but that one didn't survive :'(.
I mean 3 engine with 0.4 cubic inch. Can you send me some photos of the servo plate in your plane? What about the landing? Is it hard? Can you send me a video?
Euh, is 0.4 cubic inch 2.6 CC in metric? If that's the case I think that is too little to fly with. Plane is about 12kg and default should have been about 7-10 with minimal engine of 7,5CC 2T if I remember correctly.
It only flew once so far and the landing was hard because of the balance problems seen at the start as well. It also doesn't have any damping. This planely rarely flies so a landing video can take a while. Don't have any pics yet, might be able to get them.
Nice looking plane and good flight too, however, the cameraman should learn to use the zoom while the plane is in flight. The video would have been much more enjoyable if we could see it during flight
The cameraman did not have a stand, so zooming in would have only caused extremely shocking footage. It might be far away in the video (YT makes it worst), but atleast it's stable.
Beautiful aeroplane! Well done!

Engine cowls help the air flow over the wings and airframe... not using them seriously disrupts the airflow.
It's a night and day difference when you're talking about "tweaking."

But do you think 3x .40 2T is enough? Why does the plane lower the left wing when taking off?

Hi Jazzy,
Well, 0.4 cubic inch is about 6.55 cubic cm. Can you send me a photo with the servo plate? Regards

Hi Jazzy,
Do you have 4T engines, right? Isn't that too much power for this plane? Do you think a 3x .40 2T engines is enought? Thanks
cdotrodrigues 3 years ago
We have 3 11,5 CC 4T engines. That is waaay too much power but it sounds so good that we couldn't resist :D. On this video we only fly half throttle.
