cool

@petesa67245 Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video.

[tomascontrerasjr]

you have no bevel of air-foil on your wings???

[PecanGrowerNM]

@tomascontrerasjr The top leading and trailing edges are shaped to give the wing some form of airfoil. The bottom is flat.

I built one of those too out of bluecore foam but Mine doesn't seem like robust like yours, I only used a little bit of carbon fiber and I tried to built it as light as possible. What kind of battery are you using and how are your aeleron servo or servos set up?Is it like 2 servos with a Y harness or 1 controlling both aelerons?

@smeelokilo i used a 1000mAh 2 cell on mine and it flies fine.........but i don't know what he was using

Yes The camera man needs to show other people how to use a camera. I don`t need any motion sickness pills lol. WTG guys gr8 stuff.I love the videos and can appreciate the work you put in them...thanks from CANADA...Lew

[hamburgrd]

Well done. I love how these RCPowers planes fly. That was some real good camera work.

[PecanGrowerNM]

Hey, thanks Hamburgrd. I have a great time flying these foam planes. My cameraman is getting better all the time. Thanks for the compliment on his hard work.

hey pecan i was wondering if you could give a little info on your control surface set up, i noticed your running the full size surfaces, but your able o do more scale flying with it. did you reduce the trows with the radio or mechanicly. and also go you let me know the amount of throw you have on your control surfaces to get it to fly so nice? and did you have to go far off the rcpower cog to obtain the nice easy flying? hanks for info you can pass along.

[PecanGrowerNM]

Hey Frogs. My control throws are about 30 degrees in each direction. I try to set my throws mechanically and only use the radio if I can't set them with the control horns and servo arms. My radio is set to 100% full rate and 60% dual rate.

The plane flies fine with the standard COG, but slow flight is much more stable slightly (very slightly) nose heavy. I don't want the tail to 'sag' during slow flight as it tends to stall the wing.

haha! sound like a TIE fighter at the beginning!!

Great video - thanks

[PecanGrowerNM]

Hey, thanks a bunch RC. I really appreciate your compliment.

I actually flew it with that sound for a couple days before I figured out why it sounded so weird. Duh!

[frogs84ss]

great flying. i love the motor prop combo. thats really interesting. also very nice camera work, a good camera man is hard to find.

[PecanGrowerNM]

Thanks a lot frogs. I'm happy that people are enjoying our videos. My camera man truly appreciates the cudos as well. Credit for the prop / motor combo goes to Dave Powers at RCPowers. He found it to be a good balance between speed and acceleration / thrust. I have to agree and I'm very pleased with the performance.

Good Job Pecan. Wish I had been able to see how you pulled it out of a few of those :)

[PecanGrowerNM]

Thanks Bob. Some of those maneuvers got a bit squirrely. I've started standing next to the camera to keep from blocking any of the action. Hopefully you'll get to see them all in the future.

[PecanGrowerNM]

Thanks a lot Nelie! I am very grateful for the support and encouragement.

Another great review Pecan
