Time Lapse RC Plane Build - Stevens Aero RV-4

A build video of my Steven's AeroModel RV-4
Powered by Hacker A20-20L brushless outrunner, Turnigy Plush 40A ESC, ThunderPower 1320mAh 3S LiPo
I didn't get to film all of the build - in particular the radio equipment - I just wanted to get it finished! There were a few mistakes along the way but the plane is a great kit - the quality of the laser cut parts is amazing.
My hat off to Bill @ Stevens AeroModel
Music: If You Tolerate This (David Holmes Remix)
Filmed on a PS2 EyeToy USB camera, that melted! Yes, it melted under the halogen spotlight used to illuminate the desk. I was wondering why it was going out of focus and then I realised, because the plastic was starting to warp and slide down. Interesting to say the least - it still works!

Is there any forgiving planes to build, for beginners? :)
Got some experience with flying, but not with building.

WOW. Seriously impressive. I am currently building my first kit, a Laser models Laser 3D, and what scares me the most is when I finish the build and have to cover it. You made it look quite easy, however, I imagine that you have alot of experience. Great video!

@zvent1 Thanks for your comment! Covering can seem tricky but here's a few things I learned.
1. Coverings are all very different. I use ProFilm (OraCover, etc) because it's very forgiving - Some light films are not so! Having said that, you can heat-out most crinkles.
2. When covering wings (possibly fins), heat a bit on the top, then a bit on the bottom, if you do one complete side, it might warp
3. Have lots of sharp blades to cut the material and don't worry, you can always recover!

Wow and it took me all winter to build one! You and my ex-wife would get a long!

They're great planes :D I've had two now (this one caught caught in bushes and I got stung by three wasps trying to get it out of the thorns.
My current one (which if you look through my 5009 photos video, you'll see) is still flying strong
(I built it much better the second time!)

what was that white thing with what u coverd thst . was it some thing plastic ?
tafenau24 3 years ago
It's ProFilm (also OraCover and something else). It's a heat shrink plastic covering you "iron" on and then shrink. I like ProFilm for it's ease of use, SolarFilm works just the same.
The heat shrink plastic replaces the old tissue and dope method - it's strong, lightweight, durable and comes in many colours (opaque and transparent)
