Balsa USA Stingray with DLE-20, RC Plane Build N0 40: Maiden Flight Fun!
Welcome to the last video of my build series of the Balsa USA Stingray RC plane kit. After several months of building I am finally ready to maiden the plane! I was very nervous going into the maiden flight. I certainly did not want to have a maiden crash!
The day was not too bad weather wise. However due to the cloud cover, the camera had trouble at times focusing on the small plane with all of the large cloud shapes behind it. But I think I got some good clips of the plane, some were blurry, but I left them in because you can still see how the plane flew. That being said, the Stingray is an awesome plane! It flew beautifully! It only took a little trimming to get her dialed in and then it was perfect.
The Stingray 120 is a great trainer and sport rc plane with an 83-inch wingspan and powered by a DLE-20 RC gas rc plane engine. I am using a Futaba transmitter system with Hitec servos and Futaba receiver. This plane is designed for .80 to .90 2-stroke glow engines, .90 to 1.20 4-stroke glow engines, and 15cc to 30cc gas engines.
I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes (RC Planes) for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community, so I started RC Plane Tech channel for fun. I am not an expert, there are many different techniques when building radio control planes. A good way to learn about flying and building rc planes is to see what others are doing, that's what I do and that's why I like to share what I do.
All videos are produced by me, with flawed but natural intelligence.

    This is good. I have a blue plastic planet, though off Amazon, and not Master Airscrew. I've found the blue plastic recent one bites too much, no matter what I try. It dogs in enough to create unevenness on balsa grains that switch a little. I think the thinner razor safety blade would be much better

    Howdy James you got yourself an awesome channel. I watched the whole Smoothie build and this one as well. Both were great build logs . I got a ton of insight from watching your building techniques. I love the fact you built some Balsa USA kits being from Mi and the UP it's cool seeing a local company's planes being built. Keep up the good work and thanks for the content.😁

    Not to sound like a jerk, but I doubt you encountered a high speed stall by lowering flaps. I suspect that what happened is you were holding in elevator to "put along the ground" and when you took your hand off the stick to adjust flaps the power increase just accelerated the nose down result (aggravated by the inherent pitch change of lowering flaps. Moral of the lesson is using the knob for flaps is perfectly fine, but we should always first try them out at a higher altitude, not feet above the ground. $.02s

    Very nice camera work, no worrys about the blur, it was smooth motion and framed well. That looks a lot nicer then the 4 star 120 imo, i always thought they were near the same.

  • @MO-PA28-140
    @MO-PA28-140 5 днів тому

    Something we are taught as full-scale pilots is to not touch flaps, landing gear, etc, on a go-around or touch and go, until you have established a positive rate of climb. Don’t touch anything until then, and when you have stabilized mentally from the anxiety caused by it

    Great first set of flights, nice job! How would you rate those inflatable wheels? Too bouncy?

    • @JamesRCPlaneTech
      @JamesRCPlaneTech 4 дні тому

      Thanks! Actually I don’t even have them under pressure. They seem to be fine without inflating. Or at least I didn’t inflate them beyond how they came. But to answer your question, they are not bouncy, but I only flew a handful of time on the maiden day and my landings were not perfectly smooth, so some of the bounce was me landing a little hard.

  • @ThomasBrock74

    That soldering iron you got has way too low wattage to use it for soldering solid iron together. You need a much more powerfull iron and use siver solder not electrical solder. P S. Kudos on the use of good soldering flux but that soldering iron is for small (very small) electrical connections only. Do you notice how the solder doesn't just flow in that it just globs on top that's because you're not getting the work near hot enough for the solder to flow because your iron is way too low on wattage...

  • @ThomasBrock74

    Be careful with that lock-tite around that plastic wire hold down. It will cause the plastic to vecome brittle and basically it will just crumble apart... Ask me how I know this ... From experience thats how. Its not just aomething I heard I have litterally seen this happen.

    Friend, I live in Brazil. I'm building a telemaster and I wanted to use an O.S 10 FP. What is the thrust on the 10FP engine? How much does your plane weigh? My Telemaster is 650 grams, will it fly with 10 FP?
