Nice! Looking forward to the maiden. I wish I have enough place to accommodate this beautiful jet in my hanger. I cut off 1/4 of the factory spring, then put another piece of softer spring in the nose strut(maybe 50% softer than the factory spring, but stiff enough to hold the nose leveled on the ground). So it is really soft on the first 1/4 of the strut compression. This reduces jumps if I hit a bump on the runway, or if I touched down on the nose wheel first.
Hellooooo! Ça gaz 😜 et toi??? Oui il est énorme 😂 ouais c’est des freins car ça pose assez vite donc c’est bien utile des freins sur ce genre de bébé 😂
À faire sur toute les suspensions d'origine toujours trop dures, ils mettent juste un ressort plus long que la course utile et ça leurs suffit, ce n'est pas suffisant pour s'appeler suspension ! Si tu veux éviter les étincelles et la limaille choisi une pince coupante de bonne qualité, pas une pour couper le plastic en sortie d'extrudeur 😆 Toujours remonter les assemblages mécanique à l'huile, je plussoie 🔝
I’ve broken 5 nose gear pins this year in 3 different EDF’s. (I know what you’re thinking- “You suck at landing Jeff! Buy an RC boat.”) And you’re right. But now that I’ve reached “Expert Mode” replacing nose gear pins, (a silly, tiny weak link in an expensive EDF. Replaced the nose gear pin ironically in the Freewing Me-262 and in the T-33 Saturday night. Looking at the design I thought there has to be a better way to keep the pin from shearing. The spring in both EDF’s are very rigid. I’m wondering if I do the same and shorten the spring if it would take pressure off the nose pin? I’ve also broken 3 nose pins on the F-16 Thunderbird. (Over a 100 flights on the Eflite a-10 and no broken pins, and some horrible, bounced landings)
Yes you can try to cut firstly one or two coils and see how it goes ☺️ but you really have to keep throttle to get the nose up and you won’t brake nose gear mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻🥳
@@ArthurRC it’s difficult to describe our runway. I think of it as an asphalt carrier style landing. It’s awful. But you’re right, it’s more my technique. I’m still in group therapy and on medication from my start in the sport and all the tip stall crashes. I need to take a few of these EDF’s to a longer runway and see if it’s me, or am I trying land on a runway not made for bigger EDF’s without brakes or reverse thrust.
@@ArthurRC I want to you when I grow up. Or at least have your fine motor or nerves of steel. It only took me 5 years to land taildragger warbirds on that runway. I’ll get it. Just finished ordering nose gear pins in bulk. OCD is a terrible thing…
Great video .
Thanks buddy 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Really nice idea 🥰👌🏻👌🏻
Brilliant video, is this modification recommended on the L-39 as well?
Thanks mate ! If it’s too stiff when you compress it yes….
Look forward to seeing this in action!
Good luck on the maiden! :)
Two flights done! Have to edit this today 🤩
@@ArthurRC Cool!
Now online 😜😜
@@ArthurRC On my way!
Hello comment tu vas ?? Beau BB didonc ... question tu as des freins sur ta roue c bien ça ??? A très vite ... Stéph...

Yes just try on a nice runway and long enough buddy 🤩
