Build and Fly a Beech Bonanza Indoors/ Prop Construction/Rolling Balsa Tubes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- The video covers the construction of profile rubber powered model of a Beech Bonanza. These profile models are also known as "No-Cal" models, a.k.a. no calories. This model was built strictly for indoor flying but studier no cal models can be built for outdoor flying.
You'll find a wide variety of no cal plans at this site:parmodels.com/f...
The Flying Aces Club hosts no-cal contests at various locations. Consider joining this fine organization: flyingacesclub....
I have a 1953 D-35 it’s even yellow , very cool video.
Hello John, nice technic. Thanks for sharing and keep this beautiful hobby alive. Cheers!!!
Ha! I never realized the motor was OUTSIDE the tube! I liked your technique demonstration. Applicable to larger, heavier models as well. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the comment Ken. As you may know, some larger models do run the rubber motor internal to the tube. Sure makes for a strong and light component. Thanks for watching.
John, I learned quite a lot from this video. The rolled motor tube is just what I want to master. Your development of the prop blades via a form leaves me with questions about how you carved that prop block and how you developed the propeller assembly jig.
Thanks for the comment, Steve. You point out that maybe I should do a video that covers the prop block and prop assembly in a future video. I'll see if I can put something together next time I go through the process. Thanks for watching.
Great construction demo work! I love the rolled tube and prop forming parts.
Thank you Peter.
Dear John, amazing work! Beautiful and lovely model! Thank you so much for this video! Best regards!!!
Federico thank you for the kind words.
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Olá, gostaria de ter esta planta, excelente trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏😀👍
Wow, great video, thanks for posting. Looks like I found my next project
Thank you Paul. Yes, go for it! It's a fun project.
A plastic straw also makes a good motor tube.
Very enlightening, looks fun to do.
Thanks for your comment. Its a fun hobby. Thank you for watching.
(:(:(:(:(: ... Five Stars for the most gentle Bonanza lifted by velvet air from under its wings 🌻
Thank you and beautifully spoken. 🙂
John, I love your models, but this video is totally inadequate to build the model. A video is needed on making a prop block and the prop. Is the brass tube still inside the balsa tube? Me being in Illinois makes it pretty hard to come to CT to ask questions. - Bob
Bob, please understand that the intention with my "building and flying" videos are to only provide an overview of each model. A high-level view and not necessarily the fine details. That type of video requires a bit more time to assemble. You'll see in my catalog that I do have a section on building tips and my hope is to continue to build that. It provides the details for the building block for building free flight models. You've now suggested to me I could do a video on prop carving and now indoor prop construction. I've also been asked about a video on tissue covering. I'm putting these in my queue and will develop detailed building tip videos in the future. Several video projects ahead of them at the moment.
The brass tube is not left in the balsa tube. It would be way too heavy. As shown, after the brass is removed, the balsa is very carefully glued closed.
Note that at 1:38, he explains the balsa tube replaces the original design's balsa stick. You can see that stick on the plan at 0:22 and 0:36 just below the tail of the model. sticks may be heavier and/or more flexible than a tube, but they work just fine and are simpler to make.
Hello, wonderful model, love how slow it flies. I’m thinking on building a ultralight nocal too. What thickness of balsa did you use for the motor tube? The thinnest I have right now is 1/32”
Hi Balsa Boy. You certainly have the talent to build a decent no cal by the models you've produced in your vids. The balsa I used was 0.018 inch thick. What you could do is sand down your 1/32. Maybe you have some 0.020 music wire? Cut your balsa to length and tape a piece of 0.020 wire on each side of the balsa. Then use a sanding block to sand the balsa while the block contacts the wire. The wire will act to limit the thickness to 0.020. It's important to only push the sanding block away from you so the balsa sheet doesn't buckle. Good luck! Look forward to your build.
@@Watchingthevideos99 thank you, I believe I do and will do.
@@thebalsaboy Go easy with the sanding. Too many times I've tried to go too fast and crumbled the wood. 😂 Have fun.
@@Watchingthevideos99 lol, I’ve done that before. Sucks having to restart and waste some of your wood!
@@Watchingthevideos99 I can fully start yet because I’m working on a pnut Curtiss Jenny, but I’m still wondering what I should go for, I might do the bonanza but don’t know yet, how about you pick (nothing too extreme)
Hello John, how might I aquire a set of these plans? I would love to add this to my collection of no-cals. Thanks, David Stewart
Hi David. Any chance you're on Facebook? I've posted them on the stick and Tissue group. I suppose I should send them to Outerzone.
Beautiful model John, looks to be a nice flyer!
@@funscalemodels9782 Thank you so much. A bit more trimming and it will be there. More indoor flying coming up soon.
Buenas tardes...
Donde puedo descargar este plano? (Bonanza)

Buenas tardes...
He descargado un plano de parmodels pero el archivo PDF tiene una contraseña.
Alguien sabe que contraseña es?
Gracias
What is the link to the plan?
Supongo que todos los archivos están protegidos por contraseña
Aunque no le veo mucha lógica
@@javiermonreal593 I'm able to open the PDF without a password. www.parmodels.com/flying-aces-club--fac--rules-no-cal-models.html
El problema que tengo es cuando necesito cambiar su tamaño en corel draw para poder imprimirlo, entonces es cuando me pide la contraseña.
