Building a Messerschmitt BF-109F Nitro RC Plane Chapter 6

http://www.nitroplanes.com/cmpmebf10h12.html

What the Pro say...
Simply the best ARF warbird I have ever seen. It's a whole new level for CMP. Quality is top notch. It goes together quickly, but keep in mind that this is a somewhat complicated airplane with lots of features, so you are not going to get it together in two evenings.
The fuse is fiberglass, prepainted. It has a tremendous amount of detail.
The tailwheel is in the scale position, rather than just sitting on the rudder post, and it has a neat linkage to connect to the rudder.
There are multiple scale details on the fuse, such as seperately molded fiberglass exhaust stacks, airscoops, belly pan, and a neat belly tank that uses standoffs for better appearance rather than just being stuck to the bottom of the fuse.

The wings are very cool. There are three servos per wing...flaps, ailerons, and airbrakes. All servos mount from the bottom with the neat CMP servo mounts with fairings, and all hinging and horns are done with hinge points and horny hinge points for better appearance. The airbrakes are very cool, one pops up from the bottom and the other from the top, using a clever provided mechanism.
The plane is set up for retracts, and the retract mounts are hardwood and well-secured. Fixed gear with scale strut covers and gear doors are also included.
The spinner is amazing, about six inch diameter, of scale profile, made just for this model.
The canopy frame is prepainted.
The wingtips have places for lights to be inset, and clear plastic covers are included.
The stabs are airfoiled, and the LE of the elevators is inset into the stabs in a scale manner.
The rudder is built up and fairs neatly into the rudder post.
Soft mounts are included for a glow engine, a neat bonus.
Mine is going to be electric, with a Monster Power 160 motor and two Maxamps 6s 5000 batteries and a Castle Creations 85 controller.
I am beyond pleased, as a matter of fact, I am floored, by the quality and low price...flight report ASAP... Follow it here

oh cool mr

[talkonfox]

i think i was indulgence and very eager to model planes very much, whatever in display or remote-control types! i feel my heart beating faster, after, and during watching, or building the models !!! :))) :PP Much more than seeing, watching a girl !

Hi

What Robart retract product number did you use ?

Thanks

[bagofbones11]

wow eight control surfaces

[livvidd]

a large 2stroke mounted directly to the fuse? thats gonna be one loud plane

[rcflyerct]

sometimes this is due to a bad crystal in your reciever, or possibly interference from the engine be sure to use nylon rod to the throttle servo, if all else failes try using 2.4 ghz rather than fm

I just wanted to correct your terminology with regard to switches. The flap switch is a three position switch and the other switch you mentioned is a two position switch. It looks like the Robart landing gear system controls sequencing but not speed. It looks like it would be a great electric.
