    Cont: RC Helicopters also suitable to bring small baskets of chocolates and candies and card's to your freinds in other side far distance place. And monitor with teliscope or small TV.

    These sound like flying wolves.. This session must've constituted a nice contrasting break from concentrating like bilyo for hours on precise work with tiny pieces of wood and ca and wire and trim flight after trim flight.. Exhilarating flying! Nice one. 👍

      They really are flying wolves! I will say the assembly is that same level of precise construction, and once that's done for you, you have to carefully cut the slots on your own for the servos and linkages. Not for the faint of heart!

    Great Video! I was wondering though for your science olympiad 2022 Stinger, there is a new propeller that makes my plane vibrate. Do you have any way I could fix it so it doesn't vibrate?

    • @joshuawfinn
      @joshuawfinn  2 роки тому +1

      It's either shaking because one blade is heavier than the other or a blade is bent. You can glue tiny dabs of clay to the lighter blade tip until the prop balances horizontal at rest. If it continues to vibrate, check for a bent blade and carefully massage that blade back to the correct twist.

      Yeah Yuri's loss is tragic. An alternative is emerging, in two sizes, both of which are absolutely outrageous: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4307339-Fancy-F5D-but-can-t-see-it

      @@jas-FPV I wish I could tell you but we never measured it and I've since returned to a geared Neu motor for hotliner use because the launches were so nasty with the small speed props. Ecalc was predicting something like 120-130A on the 8s setup we used. It very nearly killed the motor. It was very hot.

      I tried that a handful of times with DLGs. I got tired of repairing them. I'm better at 3-D than I am DS, and I STINK at 3-D.

    I took up dynamic soaring a few years ago. I have flown my latest self designed carbon composit glider at my local hill in 100kph wind fastest speed so far 600kph.
    Though at 73 my reaction times could be better so I am looking for a younger pilot. After 60 years of modeling I really would like to be the first to reach 1000kph before I l peg out.

      That's hauling freight for sure. I've tried DSing off small hills and treelines with dlgs and just cannot get the hang of it. Even tried in a simulator. My brain just cannot work the right pattern and I've crashed a couple airplanes trying (fortunately no major damage, but a clear warning that it was time to stop).

      If you want to go 250+ mph, that's what it costs. That said, I have less than half that in mine.
