I flew mine on a 5S 2200 all the way forward on stock setup, real nice & perfect CG. Got sick of replacing retracts so moved it on.

[greghoff]

I had one of these before losing it to a signal loss on an Orange RX (never again!) The retracts stopped working after the first flight off of grass. Both jack screws in the retract mechanisms were stripped. The teeth on those screws are super fine and don’t last long. I replaced them the FMS Corsair retracts and it was almost a drop in fit using a wheel collar as a spacer due to the FMS struts being slightly shorter. It was a greater flyer though! 10+ minutes!

Cheap good mods: Cut decals apart to remove clear plastic. Paint non-matching canopy, etc. parts for good match. Spray model with clear flat Minwax to preserve paint finish.

Looks good in the air, almost 'floaty', which seems odd for a warbird. It also looks like it sticks to the runway during landing/touch-n-go (as in not bouncy). Would be a great step up from a trainer.Thanks for sharing.

i have had  4 of them.  one  fatal flaw is the rudder hinge is crap....  make sure you reinforce it.   all 4  of  mine the rudder hinge failed  in flight..  little  foam tac  works well...

Chris this looks pretty nice for the price! I have missed you and your videos fo a few weeks, I had to be put in the hangar for some major repairs due to a major stroke that I had over the Memorial Da weekend, but I am making good progress with physical therapy and one way or another will fly som roc I hope by fall time! your videos help me a lot, so thanks man.jettech

I'm curious to hear about the deviation from the standard end points for the servos, it is a bit different from the manual, is 6mm up and down alright for the elevator, I've got it set up at 10mm elevator low rate. I haven't flown it yet but I will be this coming weekend and want to get the best flight out of it. The plane flies brilliantly in the video

This was my first plane some years ago. It is a fantastic flying plane. The landing gear are WEAK WEAK WEAK. My solution was to install FMS corsair gear, much better. The eventual problem was a lack of any kind of reinforcement through the gull section of the wing. This eventually lead to a very sloppy flying plane as the wing eventually gets to the point that if you hold the plane up by the wingtips and bounce them up and down, you will be amazed at the amount of flex that has crept into the wing structure. I also added 3 panel flaps to mine for that scale look, but they aren't needed.

It looks pretty good. Is 4 cell recommended for this one?? Appears to fly easily. Thanks for sharing Geek. AirHammer out!!

Hello my friend,
a very nice video, i'm also interested in this plane. Can you tell me how difficult it is, complete with battery and CG balanced, ready to fly. The manufacturer writes 1650g but I think he is mine without a battery !!
Greetings André

Hi can u please tell me what is the name of the device that you used to check the throw and travel of the alierons and elevator where can I get it

[tabletop]

would this work with the taranis x9 lite?

[stevegubala]

Where can i purchase that mm guage at?

[robertcovell]

If Dynam would do something about the s**t landing gear I'd buy one. No good on grass

[CalebT_RC]

I’ve never really trusted dynam that much

[RuudyL]

I have the "upgrade" V2 version, which in my opinion is still junk, with the worst retracts you can find, replaced mine with FMS retracts, after 1 landing on a grass field that you cound use as putting green.
I hear nobody about the ton of lead you need to put in the cowl to get the CG right, even with a 350gram 4S all the way forward in the nose, but I think reviewer that get planes from rc companys do not want to say anything bad about the product, because they will not get anymore freebeey, s So never trust a reviewer. a good pilot can make a brick look great in the air

Isnt it better to CG the plane updsie down with the gear up
