The jazzy side of RC
HAHA.
If that is the AS3X 10 channel receiver it is a no go for turbine aircraft. It even says so right on the Horizon page. And those gear controllers work great right? Up until you try to us it in flight and it won't work.
Many use it with success. Opened it up and filled with silicone.
AWESOME, paint work really "upgrades" the foam. Great hand 👌👌
Thanks Adrian!
Like the old saying goes, "When pooping on hot bacon grease, you'll get little burns on your dirt hole."
🤔
The paint job/weathering that you did is amazing, this turbine is tiny !, Great project, cant wait for the Maiden flight !
Thanks Very much Tarek!
Another great vid to watch this WINDY again Sunday morning 😡😡. Great looking aircraft👍👍Johnathan. Thanks to you I got Joe to do my Ordinance pylons for my Ziroli Skyraider I'm building and they look AMAZING. BTW turns out I've known and flew with his dad for years. What a small world. Keith
Thanks Keith! Yea it's a small world for sure in every industry and Hobby!
I still fly my HSD Super Viper 105 (foam turbine jet), bought back in 2016. I first flew it with a K-45 .. it was OK, but after swapping in a K-60, and adding a small extended fuel tank, improved the performance to a more satisfying level.
PS, it came with servos, retracts & brakes w/assoc controllers. I replaced all the servos with better ones, as they were barely strong enough .. it took several attempts to get the brakes right.
Thats impressive for a foamy! That's one of my big concerns with the foam turbine aircraft is the ability to deal with hanger rash or small dings and dents.
MR. J. When does your flying season begins. I can't wait to see some of the winter projects going in the air.
Hey! Hoping to get out next weekend for the first flights of the year! Temp is great now it's just crazy windy.
Looks superb. I have the HSD Jets L39 with a swiwin 80. Flies brilliantly.
Thanks Dave! The L39 is Great! Sports Jet in a Scale body!
Nice work there Jon. Great entry level Turbine Jet the weathering looks Epic. The only thing to watch out for on these is at Tubine speed you may experience Flutter it is foam after all and I suspect this Puppy will hoot along. Keep at it. ;0)
Thanks Nick!
Great Project as usual. I only fly EDF's due to sound restrictions where I fly and no place close to fly turbines. If I recall, I believe this plane comes in an EDF version as well. Of the 31 hours I am interested in how much time you spent weathering, amazing job and affect!. I have several EDFs, ranging 70mm to 90mm, L-39, A10, F-15, F-22, F-86 and spent many hours on weathering since I agree with you the foam airframes lack depth and are just, bla out of the box. Always look forward to you videos and waiting for the maiden of this bird.
Thanks Very much. Weathering and painting was 7 hours .
Nice Job. I have the GJC L39 with a K85. Flys great. It was great meeting you at JOK.
Thanks! Sweet! The L39 is Awesome! Pleasure meeting you as well!
Great build, love your videos, always learn something watching you. I definitely gotta get that scale setup for the Xicoy CG transducers. I have a setup using long scales from Harbor Freight on a table but always difficult to use. Also, I am assuming if using a KT45 turbine I shouldn't have to adjust the motor mounts like you did for the Xicoy?
Thanks very much! If using the kingtech you will probably have to get the mount in the middle of the rail like I did. The former work in the back of the plane prevents the pipe from going at an angle up and down so not much room in the pipe. Engine is the adjustment point.
I flown mine with K45 and it was more than enough
Its preety heavy for jet this size tho
Yea it's got a higher wing loading of this size model but great fliers!
I got a feeling that one day these r/c turbine engines are going to have real afterburners on them!! No more need for the lights!!
Yea No Kidding! That would be slick!
First turbine I flew is an HSD T-33. I also have a HSD T-45. Both with Swiwin 80's, and both fly great.
Nice David! Both great aircraft!
No clear coat to protect that paint? It makes a huge difference protecting all my many foamies even in the event of a crash.
No Heavy clear coat. It will get a light coat of Matt Clear from the airbrush but very minor.
Nice build 👍🏻. You mentioned the u/c mounting blocks not being solid and when you ran the engine up it looked wobbly on its legs to me did you do anything with that?
The U/C mounting blocks on mains were slightly loose. They were re-glued in place.
That weathering looks mint. 👌🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Thanks Very much!
Great build. Did you set up for just one battery for both RX and engine ECU?
Turbine on a 2200 2 cell lipo. Everything else on a single battery.
@@thelightersideofrc. Thank you.
Excellent job as usually .. Very nice wreathing job.. magical 😊
Thanks David!
Gorgeous results. Love the weathering. Cool jet!
Thank you!
Nice I leant something today I always thought the parts on a wing with Mig 15 / 17 were wing fences not wing cutters LOL I do like weathering on a model you dont often see show room finish on fighter jets other than delivery or say Blue Angels etc
Thanks Robert!
😀😀 the realism is amazing
Thanks!
Great looking little foamy Mig that should fly great, as long as the stock electronics can be trusted, and they're not on the super cheap side. That's the only thing that bothers me about these arf's that come with the electronics already installed. You know they're not putting high quality stuff in there. All it takes is one sketchy elevator servo, and it's all over but the crying. Not trying to be negative, as I believe it's a very legit issue that needs to be monitered. I would put all the flying surface servos on a quality servo tester, and give them a good workout before I put her in the air.
Totally agree! That's one of the downsides for sure!
You kill it on foam to and yes Areofoam has some good aircraft. Great weathering beautiful and if they don't like it I'll buy it😂How much was cg machine? You can pm me if you want too.
Thanks Chris! Can see the RC CG Machine Here! www.rccgmachine.com/
Love the 4 legged furball assistant.
LOL. She's a hoot!
well i never thought a foam aircraft would ever receive a turbine commercially.... so many questions
😎👍
That receiver may not be the best with a turbine. I think the PowerSafe AR10400T will be a better choice. But nice work👍
Thanks 👍. Threw it out there in the spektrum group and it was 75% ish said no problems. I did open the receiver and install some silicone on the board and closed it back up. That was a common suggestion.
Amazing! Love the weathering🥰
Thanks Alexander!
Wow ! Very nice .....souvenir korea war 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, I didn't hear any mention of solder stick on your batt connections. Is there a reason that you didn't use them or did you and just not mention them?
when your putting 3 massive wires together one one side and a single on the other side it's not an ideal setup. Standard solder joint is best. No SS connector big enough to install the 3 big wires into.
Excellent vid of the conversion. Im totally new to turbines and only fly edf. Quite scared of turbines as im not clued up and would love to get into it one day. This is the first educational vid iv watched about it. Great show of the weathering too. Which im new to aswell! Thanks.
Thanks very much! I appreciate the kind words! Yea they are intimidating at first but you get used to it. Thanks for watching!
Sweet vid John . These AF modles fly well .
Thanks Brandon!
WOW. It's so cool.
Thank you!
What kind of silicone do you use for the as3x receiver? And how much do you put ?
Used standard exterior silicone and almost filled case.
@@thelightersideofrc awesome! Thanks for your help 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm just gonna say it. MIGs fly better.. DIRTY.. They're greasy to begin with .. This will be my first turbine! Also going T-33 with the 45 .. now as a cool hint for everyone. If you hang it nose up. And spray it down with denatured alcohol.wings and horizontal stabilizer. Let dry. Then set er on wheels and do the fuse and horizontal stabilizer.!! The effect is the finishing WOW! Try it on something foamy and see for yourself?!!
Great tips Chris! Thank you!
It continues to be a problem with silver foam models that they just never get the finish quite right and silver shows up the imperfections and softness of the foam. The closest Ive seen a manufacturer come to a good silver finish is HSD's T33. That aside your work continues to impress me
Thank you! That’s a great point for the weathering as well. Hides all the imperfections in the surface
@@thelightersideofrc of course! I hadn't thought of that
Count how many time you used the word Aircraft .... DAMN dude!!
Check my first comment!
That is very cool, love the paint work😂
Thanks Kelly!
Love your work and your videos. What size is that turbine?
Thanks George 😊. That is a 45n turbine.
Should have moved the main battery to the nose to minimize adding ballast.
Then would have to mount all the other stuff to a plate on the tank. I would rather have it the way it is.
Turned out nice, gotta like the quick easy builds 😁
Thanks Joe!
very nice video , I will love one .
Thanks!
I had no idea that you were such a incredible airbrush artist.
That weathering job looks absolutely amazing 👍👍
Thanks Shaun!
Are their any regular stick airframes that the smaller Q45 engines are compatable?
I'm not super familiar with this segment of the hobby Alan. There are lots of options now compared to a few years ago. If you look on some of the forums, RCCANADA, RCUNIVERSE they have small engine segments with lots of info.
Amazing how the weathering just takes it to another level.
Thanks! Yea it transforms the plane!
What make is the Red Arrows Hawk please? Looks really nice!! As does this MigThanks. Simon UK.
Hello Simon. The big hawk is a Skymaster 1:3.65 Scale model.
Do you think on a plane this size, that glassing it would make it too heavy?
This jet is already too heavy compared to edf version or any jet this size, but it still flies fine
As has been mentioned, Best to keep it as is.
Another good one
I got my hobbyking and flight like a dream, but I will converted to turbine one day.
Nice! The turbine setup is a pretty slick option!
weathering to heavy, would never look like that in real life
Thanks for watching! As mentioned, All Subjective!
Let's see your weathering job, I have seen real jets weathered worst then that in real life
Great job on this poor man GT plane. 😉😂😂😂😂😂😂😲
Thanks Al!
Is there gonna be a video of it flying?
I don't think so. Going to be shipped off to owner soon.
What paint did you use for the chrome nose inlet. Thanks you in advance from son of bent screwdriver.
HAHA. Tremclad Crome from Hardware store! Great Stuff!
A new MiG!
3rd times a charm!
Very cool. Will you be bringing it to ALA?
Thanks Ted. No, This is for a customer in East USA. its Heading to him soon.
Replace the stock servos if you don't want to crash it
Don't ask how I know
🙌
What paint/system did you use for the chrome effect if you don't mind telling us your secret? Lol....
No problem at all. It's the simple affordable Duplicolor Chrome finish.
Does the gyro in the specktrum rx have any issues when running a turbine?
I'm not a regular spektrum flier so can't say for sure. one thing I did but didn't show in the video was take the receiver apart and install silicone on the board. This is a very common suggestion with this setup in a turbine.
@The Lighter Side Of RC thanks for the reply. I've been wanting to get into turbines and I fly spektrum. Do you happen to know where that info was referenced?
I asked the question on the Facebook spektrum forum re that receiver. That’s where the replies came from.
when is the maiden flight?
I won't be doing it. It will be shipped to the owner.
You said if we want a cockpit in ours....some more info please. Like where to buy it or download files. Thanks
Contact Joe. rccustom3dprinting@gmail.com
no video of the maiden flight ???
No. The aircraft was shipped off to the owner after we were complete.
Bueno Fresco!
Thanks Craig!
👍👍
Thanks David!
❤
😊
how come you put a afterburner on a jet that never had one in real life? was that the customer wanted or what?
Because it looks cool and the owner wanted it.
@@thelightersideofrc totally justified! I was just wondering lol
😊👍
Super cool little mig !! Great informative video!!
Thanks Stacy!
Might as well paint it black is worked aircraft for over 30 years never saw one looking like that.
Thanks Jerry!
好棒好喜欢好可爱好好🌹❤️🏆🍀🌸💐🍬💯❤️🌹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🙂
this aircraft did not have an afterburner.
That’s ok. Looks great on any aircraft!
MiG-17s do have an afterburner.
@@thelightersideofrcdon't worry, yes they do. Always did, still do.
First one!!!
BOOM!
Fucking awesome Aircraft
Thank you very much!
Poor girl she hasn't had a bath in between all over her mission's
HAHA. No Kidding Hey!
Dude, did you quit saying “C of G”!?!?!
Nope!
dude what with the crap piano tune?
Better than a Banjo tune!
I do not like the foam airplanes
I'm not a huge fan either but they are very much improved and quite impressive!
Sorry to say it`s ugly.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say it all you want! Thanks for watching!
