This is my pre maiden flight taxi test. She tracks well and seems ready to take the active. The rotating retracts are working very well also. should make it fun once it climbs out, hopefully

  • How do you make all the contruction correctly? Are you using the square all the time? what is the building tip?

    Please advise.

    Thanks

  • @mailtopravit Best to go to RCGROUPSDOTCOM this build thread is in the Scale forum and is listed in the sticky Guillows electric conversions 1000 series Corsair.

    I used a Balsa building board that I bought from Guillows twenty years ago. You can make a 90 degree jig or use a small square to get things relatively plumb. Best of luck.

  • i thought it was huge, but when you grab it damn so cute....

  • Ahh the power of Video. Thanks for watching

  • Please allow me to point out that that is one beautiful plane.. :)

    One concern though.. the landing gear 'legs' looks a bit thin.. will they manage the impact on landing? I guess they're kit original so obviously calculated for strength et'c.. I'm just curious, is all.. :)

  • oops missed the Reply tab.....

  • I always admire a good job of turning a Guillows bundle-of-sticks into a working plane. Are they still the fuzzy old sawn and diecut balsa, or has the company graduated to the age of laser cutting? Been many years since I saw the inside of a Guillows box. 8-)

  • How did you attach the wing to the frame? Rubber band? Glue?

  • Very Nice!!!!!

  • Looking forward to see the maiden flight.. please send me the video in a PM if possible, as I may not be on YouTube or near a computer when you post the video.. :) Then I can view it later.. :)

  • Thanks Basic, the gear is actually a modification to the kit. they are good for up to 25 or so Oz.'s. they also have a spring looped at the top to absorb some shock. The issue will be the wing itself but I will probably just belly flop her till it is all trimmed out. Thanks - M
