I'm an RC enthusiast living in the west parts of England. I've been flying both nitro and foam planes since 2020. I currently fly F22, F15, V900, Night Timber. Also into some aero modeling.I hope you'll enjoy my content.

Awesome! Which plane is that?
Oh wait - read the description - awesome anyway!
@@B_e_a_n_45 glad you like it!
The back gear needs some work to be realistic to the real plane btw but still nice job
Can't you just put a piece of light plywood across the back of the gear to keep it from pushing back.
@@brianscutt6298 yea I think that would be a good mod. Depends what the grass is like
Great video
@@mihauok1 thanks, Glad you like it!
Oh mein gooooot
@@bowenflob8036 yea wasn’t my best moment
I maidened mine this morning and had a similar problem. Too much flaps on grass field take off roll created too much drag and couldn’t lift off. Dialed the flaps back to 30% and had no trouble getting off the ground in a very short roll.
To glue the sheets to the ribs I like to brush Elmer's glue on the skins and the ribs and use my covering iron to bond the skins. Heat activates the glue really well. Works like a charm on 1/16 and 1/32nd sheeting. I also use Sigment to bond the skins edge to edge. It sands like the balsa, not hard like white glue or CYA.
@@airplanyguy68 nice tip I’ll have to give it a go
Cool! ...What is the projected flying weight?
Thanks. From the plan it’s said to be 2.2kgs. Should have a good thrust to weight ratio 1.5+
@@mikeygsrc Wow, might be almost as fast as the full size Concorde! Please be sure to post the flight videos!
@@coriscotupi yes I’m sure it will be! Looking forward to seeing how she flies.
Keep it going G 💪
@@bowenflob8036 thanks man getting there!
Idk if anyone will respond to this, but if you buy this for 179 dollars motion rc does it come so I can just bind a transmitter to it or do I need to do more steps?
Most of motion rc planes come PNP which stands for plug and play. This means you just need to add a receiver and bind and it’s ready to fly. FYI the $179 f22 is the 4s version 64mm. The one in this video is the bigger version ~$600 6s 90mm.
Nice video; remember filming it !
And whats the use of the ammonia
It’s to help bend the balsa sheeting. Like for a fuselage top deck.
@mikeygsrc So the Freewing 80mm EDF Avanti S V2 Nose Landing Gear Strut and Tire And your all good to go?
It’s a straight swap that’s fits however after flying a lot on it I’ve found the avanti spring to be a bit too soft. So I’d recommend fitting a stiffer spring. I ended up putting a foam block in the strut to add stiffness
I think you want the Avanti V1 nose gear. The V2 is too short.
Great work keeping her moving on the grass. Looks great!
Thanks 🙏 so happy with this jet flies great
I would not fly it with grass that high.
Yea unfortunately I realised too late how long it was. Good thing is that the plane is fixed and the grass was cut short!
Can this fly a 59 inch wingspan wood frame plane?
I’d say yes but depends what plane. It’s 20cc but not hugely powerful. Manual says it can do ~3.5kg of static thrust with APC 15”X8” prop.
@@mikeygsrc alright alright thank you so much for the answer, I got myself a 59incher gas powered and i want to convert it to electric researching all i can before wasting money
Too low too slow 🙌😂🙌
"PromoSM" 😋
Cool brother
This is sick
I am worried I wouldn’t know how to treat the engine and put the right mixes of fuel
No
Nothing beats nitro. Get to play all day, while the others have gone to play with their chargers!!😊😊😊
Haha yep that’s true!
Hey
I like it but cant afford it right now
Yea not cheap but nice to have one in the hanger. Maybe a second hand bargain will be coming your way
Hey bro that’s pretty cool
Thanks. Glad you like it!
Reckon you could get lower
@@mikejordanoff haha I’ll give it a go!
Nice ,ive got the (RCM&E) magazine books and ive seen this plane there
I’ve got that rcme issue too. In fact I think that’s what inspired me to build it in the end!
@@mikeygsrc 😄😄
Very cool wing design!
You should try gluing the sheets together first. Better results and easier. Nevermind you just said this lol
is this filmed at bartons point
Nope not sure where that is. This was filmed in Maidenhead.
Jeeze!
get those valve covers tp be gold, you wont regret it
Can you please tell me your flap mix settings With elevator
That grass is to high buddy
Yea it’s been growing like crazy this summer. That’s 2 weeks after a cut
Yes mate!! I love the pen reference for grass length. That aircraft looks super awesome.
Haha I didn’t have a ruler with me so the pen was the next best thing. The f22 is awesome!
Hand launch from now on… will fly better without all that landing gear anyway
I actually thought about it 😀
THAT BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT WAS MEANT TO TAKE OFF AND LAND ON ASMOOTH SURFACE LIKE ASPHALT OR CEMENT
Yes would love an asphalt runway
Did you do any mods for it to handle grass ops
This is awesome. Just showed my buddy at the airfield. How were you able to attach the F22 light to the Avanti nose gear?
In the end I just opened up the hole on the light so it could fit over the strut. There is a small gap between the strut and the plastic mount OD. I just wedge a small piece of ply wood either side and put some CA. Bit of a bodge but holds up well so far
@@mikeygsrc You've been a big help mate. This is my first 90mm so I want to get it right. I just subbed to the channel 👍
@@JMaxRC thanks, glad to help. One other mod I did was to switch the rear struts as mine were toeing out which made it a bit unstable on taxing. Not sure if they are all like that.Switching them over made it toe in. doesn’t fully close by 5mm but I preferred the stability, the softer avanti gear plus toe out made it wonder on taxi.
@@JMaxRC this short shows how unstable it was with the toe out on the rear. Part of the reason I crashed. Also because I didn’t put enough elevator. ua-cam.com/users/shortsteTKp8toYZE?feature=share
On average what's your flight times with that Admiral 6s 5000 50c?
Have you been able to test this modification on grass yet? Any difference?
Yes huge difference. Now the suspension is actually taking the loads rather than the fuselage. No more broken mounts. I would say that the avanti gear is a bit soft so it does bounce more and requires more take of length + elevator to rotate but once you figure that out it’s easy.
Hi. Did u use flaps on those very slow landing attempts?
Yes was using full flaps for the landings/touch and go. Full flaps helps to really slow it down.
Do you run this on grass by chance?
Yes I do! ua-cam.com/users/shortsOJh_yMjeS-I?feature=share
@@mikeygsrc I saw that. Very cool of them. I upgraded my F16 Thunderbird to run on grass and made all the difference in the world
When can we expect the completed model Michael?
Love this landing gear
😂 glad you like it!
What are your thoughts on balsa vs 3d prints?
Tony Nihjuis is an aeromoddeling genius, you won't go far wrong with this kit. Good luck with the build! Nice one. 🌟👍
Thanks William, Yes enjoying it so far!
He had full up elevator before the sufficient speeds too. Learning
yep all went wrong
Is this the 6s or 8s?
