Oregon Scale Aviation Wing Folding for RC Planes

[juliantrevin38]

This video went viral on Sucre

[Tigratx]

Love that plane, Amazing work!!

[epicflyer890]

Nice man, what transmitter is that? Is it good enough for a 3D plane?

[SAMMYBIMW]

i think i speak for everyone watching this, i want to see it in action at the flying field!!!

[MOJONIXION]

Do you cry when you crash a plane this nice?

[rwright142]

@MOJONIXION I know I would! But luckily Buz is a better RC pilot and hasn't crashed this one.

[tz138]

It would be interesting to see this done on a TBM Avenger, or a Wildcat. The wings folding back. Nice touch, I like it. How does it fly?

[tz138]

It would be interesting to see this done on a Grumman product. The wings folding back parallel with the fusalage.

[seandillon5150]

This is absolutely awesome. What did you use for the skin? It's beautiful in comparison to tissue or aluminum cans.

[TheAluminumOvercast]

This Is Slick! Nice Job!

[plg52Ge]

You have made a wonderful model !

[slaikjer1]

You're a champ, mate!!! :D Very nice details!!

[parkzonecorsairtips]

nice job

[Hewey19]

Good stuff!

[jaabvw]

you crossed the line!

[1airplane21]

why do you want one wing to fold slower then the other

[rwright142]

That is the nature of the hydraulics of the period. You'll notice the speed difference if you see any Full Scale Corsairs.

[1airplane21]

arent they 2 seperate hydralics i dont really understand what is the nature of the hydralics of the period?.

does this plane fly?

[kbuwerks]

I love RC products...

[rwright142]

One wing would always develop the needed pressure to raise before the other wing. There is only one hydraulic circuit for the wings so that was why there were not perfectly synced in the Corsair. It didn't matter much anyway. The cool thing about Buz's device is you have the option to stagger them as you see fit.

[diverdanaccount]

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! I really want to see this beauty fly!

[PPPatrickWWW]

very nice, that is really scale.

On another note, i am holding the exact same screwdriver in my hand that you were using in the video, im watching and i see it and i look at my hand it was kind of like.. "whoa.."

[maskedweaver]

WoW!

Were do you get the hardware and electronics for this model? What brand and model is the corsair? Really neat!!

[DFX2K9]

sweet....

[jrsmnb]

wat is the big whit thing on the right wing

[CorsairJock]

Radar pod.

[DG121480]

Freakin' awesome! I'm building one, that's all there is to it!

[lifeswon]

Hi Buz.

What or how much Tork is required to operate the system ?

Just finished A Top Flight Kit

Great Video. TNX

[j451962]

great looking plane I Just bought 1 my self know I need to start putting it together I wished I could locate some still photos of the wooden wing frame I cant wait to see it done will share photos once I get started on it

[ZELPHOR]

Great stuff...Now i need to do this to mine.

[oliversoto]

Soooooo cool....

[V6Goose]

Awesome stuff Buzz...

I want your controller for my Mustang... your website seems to be down, please let me know where to go to see your range of equipment.

Cheers

Goose

Hi Buz

Is the mechanism for the wing folding (hinges) available commercially ?

[OriMedian]

you make ur planes by your own right or do you mode em?

[guitarjesus9]

how many channels does your plane have

[rwright142]

This one is not my plane but I believe he uses 7 or 8 channels.

[RcTwinsGuy]

How's the wing strength at the joint? With a Corsair or Stuka, we're talking G's here!

What a cool setup!

[rwright142]

Buz flies his Corsair a lot so there must not be a problem there.

[VulpisFoxfire]

Just out of curiousity, what's with the whole 'arming' routine--just to prevent you from accidentally folding them in flight?

[rwright142]

You are correct.

[Wolfen522a]

Absolutely amazing! Nice work!

[travers114]

Very, very cool!

[haimik0]

Just got the Top flight kit. Where did you get the components for the wing folding? Do you have the details for building the wings that way?

[Beamer588]

GREAT !!!

[guitarjesus9]

what is the best place to get an complete rc plane kit... with radio, engine, ext.

[yasudin]

wow YOU CAME TOO FAR FOR THAT FLYING INVENTION DUDE!!! you will ne called great for that...

[phambo101]

I've always thought about building a Stuka (gullwinged like yours); if I build it to the exact demension, will still fly well like the real plane? Please response. Thank. I also love the Corsair.

[carlosmurphy4u]

Very nice, did you fly in a Scale Masters qualifier in Fremont, Ca. some years back?

[rwright142]

No that was Earl Aune. Do a search on his name and you will find pictures.

[slrman]

Really cool. Very well done, indeed. Do you have a version for thr Grumman Wildcat and Hellcat? Those folded back along the fuselage. I can see where the mechanism should be adaptable for that.

[slipknot2damax]

how many channels is that radio and how much was it

[rwright142]

Reply from Buz: JR PCM10 SXII 10 channels, but only using 9 on the Corsair; Throttle Elevator Ailerons Rudder Flaps Landing Gear Canopy Tail Hook Folding Wings Yeah, yeah, Flight footage, I have some somewhere, but it's not great. Just about have my P61 ARF ready.... Buz

[folaj93]

get some flight fottage if you can

[folaj93]

i dont have the patience to make something like that

[sherbahn]

Please post some flight videos if you're gonna fly that beauty.

[rwright142]

It has flown many times and a video will be posted as soon as one is available.

[macarz]

which corsair kit did you use?

[rwright142]

Kit? What Kit?Scratch. Made my own fiberglass molds for the fuselage and cowl. Made molds for the canopy, instrument panel, outer wheel hubs and brake plates, the inside gear doors etc. . One my first plane, the center wing section was built-up. One the second one (Annie Mo), a friend made a mold for the center section and I used one of his fiberglass parts. Same friend made the Radome from a mold. Outer wings are all built-up from Aune/Holman plans. Made my own retracts except tail wheel.

Buz

[daytonaturbofreak]

you sure know ur shhhtuff! very nice!

[rcmaniajato]

cant wait to see it on the field

[harry3264]

nice that was awesome

[insycosaneman]

wow like the real one lol

[Soulpainter06]

Thank you very much for showing that. I cant wait to see more on this lovely scale plane. F4U-Corsair has been my favorite aircraft since as long as I can remember. Excellent Job

[flyinforjesus93]

do you have plans?

[rwright142]

Contact Buz Hampton at Oregon Scale Aviation. The website is listed in the video description.

[crazyiris]

Wow an F4U-Corsair great choice I hope you post a video of it flying cant wait to see this beast up in the air and great work.

[texasfathead]

Butt dose it fly? I hope, nice job.

[rwright142]

Yes it does. There are several that fly, some are still being built - like mine, that will eventually fly.

[rwright142]

Storage, scale competitions, just because...

[ps2727]

Nice idea, well done.

[corona357]

Great! Can you share info on the system? Sent a message.

[stansdds]

That is so cool, makes me want to get into R/C aircraft.
