J-10 GWS new build maiden.

First flight with new airframes, but the same electronics from old J-10 and a 3300 maH 4 cell battery. I gave the old airframe to my son to re-enforce and build back up into his flyable rc jet. He chose to static display it it his room with no intention of setting her back up, retire her in quiet dignity. i can respect that.

Could you get the camera guy to hold the camera steady? Sheesh. Unwatchable.

@treereadingseries

Not a great video, and his finger kept getting in the way in the beginning, but the camera man (my son)  was only eight at the time so not his fault, or my concern.

I wish I can fly RC planes someday, so far all my spare times are filled with stupid long range shooting with scoped rifle like I did in Afghanistan. But they seems so expensive, I guess I'm not gonna get one very soon... =(

Any ideas of how or where to get one of them cheap?

@USAFBuster

Awesome, I am a big gun guy myself. Love the assault rifles, need to get some videos up when I shoot at my buddies range. Anyways, you can find these kits at GravesRC online. This kit goes for under 100.00 dollars. You have to buy all the electronics, plus radio and receiver. With that said, you can spend anywhere in the range of 300.00 to 500+ price range to get it to fly.

Just tried out my j10 again this time before it got in the air using a 4 cell 14v pack the fan exploded in the model sending the blades through the fusalage sides , o well back to the drawing bourd

@smnlari

Damn! I heard of others having their GWS fans explode like that. Did you have the disk support inside your fan? Most older kits did not provide the disk support for the rotor hub, but the newer models do. I have not had any issues with my stock fan, and it has the disk support as well. Is the damage from the blow out repairable?

move your finger kid!

@akngac5 Thanks man, I'll try in Next week. xD

Check out my plane no footage of it flying yet But taxiing around my works car park

[smnlari]

Yes the disc was in place . I think it was the shaft that broke first as I had to drill out the shaft to 3.17mm , I think that weekend the Walls of the shaft and it sheared .

[smnlari]

My plane was ok , I am fishing around for a new motor myself now. As the forces bent the shaft,

Have you seen the new Lander units , they doa 76mm unit motor and fan for around £99

Also check out a site in uk called Giant Cod . They do some relatively cheap stuff , but read the reviews first on thier products , there Tipple Bateries are excelent , rated at 5c charge rate,
