Assembly & Flight Review (w/weathering & paint tips!) -- FlightLine RC Ta 152H 1300mm Wingspan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Here's my review of the FlightLine RC Ta 152H 1300mm wingspan. I love the long nose Focke-Wulf designs and the Ta 152H is one I've always had an affinity for. So, I picked up this model late last year for a rainy day and recently got together and flying and it is sweet! The airplane flies great on a 4s pack having good speed with awesome vertical and the shape of the model captures the lines of the Ta 152H almost perfectly. I did some paint work and weathering along with some landing gear mods to obtain the scale gear angle in the down position which are all covered in the vid. My full review writeup with CG, control throw and Dx file is available at thercgeek.com/Ta152

Great video my friend. Iam dreaming of this baby from the moment it was released. Hope to have it someday for the test. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Thanks man! She’s a cool little model. I hope you’re able to get one. 😊
We are soooooo lucky this model exists! Really great review!
It is pretty cool
This is the kind of modding that gets the mouth watering. Weathering and updating the look is what it's all about! It looks really great, good job! But sorry did you hear the sound of that thing in flight? Wow I love this model 👌🏴
Thank you! This really is a cool little model. Doesn’t take much effort to really make her shine. 😊
Great work. Nice that you went to all the effort to replicate "Green 9". Did you forget the tail markings?
One of the best flying warbirds in this class that i own (and i own quite a lot, some would say too many 😎😎). Flies like it's on rails with perfect speed. I initially bought the "sport power setup" with the 2 blade prop + spinner and the higher KV motor but never installed that because the standard config has more than enough power (and looks better with the scale 3 blade scale prop). It's amazing to see this bird accelerating when you push the throttle to max from a cruising speed 😁😁
I just wish that they would release a D9 because I like that version even more.
Very nice model, great silhouette and lovely weathering. I like what you have done to the main gear - they always get FW 190 gear wrong - even Sierra Giant don't do it properly. It would really finish it off if you could tuck that tailwheel up... quite a challenge, but a lot of the late war planes don't quite have realism in flight because of the tail wheels.
Thank you! I hear you on the tail wheel, that would be pretty cool. Really tough to do at this size when it’s already built. At least it’s the right size and shape.
Nice job on the weathering and landing gear mod. You have way more energy than I have. I'm too damn lazy, I just fly them like they come out of the box.
Thanks! For me, it really depends on the airplane. Some I want spend the extra time, others not so much. 😊
You’re a monster! didn’t think I was about to watch the whole video
I’m not sure how to take that. 😆
@@Thercgeek I thought the mods were awesome, wasn’t expecting the final product to bring me right back into ‘war thunder’.
Ah, cool. Thank you! 😊
Great review. The additional paint/weathering looks awesome 👍
Thank you!
I like what you did w/gear. I looks small to be a 1300mm plane compared to a 1100mm FW190. But I still have not flown mine yet. Just fly my Dynam planes now.👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Yeah, it’s not a real big model, but it does look cool. The wingspan is long, so that’s kind of deceiving.
Lol love the ending. My wife said "oh that's you too" 😆
It’s all of us! 🤣🤣
Figures... I was just getting good at “weathering” the old fashioned way. (Banging then around in the truck, brushes with tree branches, and landings that resemble cartwheels)
But if you think this is a way to weather and in some weird way might lengthen the life of the plane, I’ll try it on the new Me-262.
Looks like a lot of work when I can weather and age a plane in under 4 minutes....
Hahaha, whatever works, right? 🤣
"The old-fashioned way".................. first time that I have laughed today!🤣
Some very nice customization of your 190. Great result. I would like to ask a couple of questions if I may. With your retract modification - it seems the plywood shim you added is blocking the retract from going fully open. Does this seem to cause the unit to have any strain - like it is trying to fight itself? And 2: I bought this recently. I noticed while flying that the lateral stability is not what I might have wanted. The ailerons seem fairly well positioned in line with the other wing structure when I trimmed it out. But it tries to slowly drop one wing, and then drop the other. Flying straight and level seems to require constant nudges to correct and lift the low wing again.
Do you perhaps have any thoughts or ideas as to why? The only thing I have thought of so far was to perhaps change the aileron linkage so that both of them are being held 'up' a wee bit more than their present straight back position. I don't know if this might act just a bit like a wing with more effective dihedral or not. ? Thank you - Roger Holland.
You’re correct, the shim stops the gear just short of full retraction. Theres no strain as they have a current cutoff which shuts the motor off. On the ailerons, it sounds like they may be double centering. Check to see if they aren’t returning to their exact same position on the ground. If there’s binding happening, it can cause the double centering. You may need to put some better servos in there to fully resolve it.
Looks easy to take off with your gear modifications. It doesn't do that annoying hard left.
Takeoffs I found were quite user friendly actually, I expected far worse. You do have to be a bit active on the rudder and elevator, but that’s pretty typical.
Chris, another great video. Quick question: When you bent the axle to make the wheels orient vertically (like the real one)...did you actually bend the axle itself or the lower part of the strut?
They struts are wire, so I bent the axle portion to get the correct wheel angle.
@@Thercgeek got it. I tried bending just the axle on one of the retracts and couldn't get it to bend. I may try taking the strut out altogether so I can get better lwverage on it.
Yes Chris! What is a Warbird without weathering? Well, not a Warbird.
#truestory 😊
Nice job chris!! Love it !!
I re flew mine 3 days ago, green 4 with lime green spinner white spiral and moved the lipo back a 1/4 in and this stopped the plane wanting to rotate up on its nose issue completely ,completely normal operations. flies like a pattern plane, the parkzone fw190a wheels look nice. i use the parkzone p47 install reversed sided and look very scale . will 3d print a max gruder bf109 pilot from 3d trader to fit after scaling it . working on a second one as green 9 with the red spinner. stab JG 301 Willi Reschke wn 150168
Nice!!
just subscribed. Fantastic review ! Do you think the canopy is, and will stay clear enough for an internal HD FPV camera placement on a pan/tilt/lean gimbal ?
Thanks! Fpv would be pretty rad in this. I feel like the canopy is clear enough, but I don’t really have any experience with that.
Great looking paint job Chris! I've admired this one for a long time, I have the 800mm mustang and love it, FL makes a good plane. Question- do you think It could do well with a 4S 5,000 mah? Looks like there is a little room to go aft in the fuselage.
Honestly, I’m not certain a 5000 would fit very well. That’s a pretty large pack for this airplane.
@@Thercgeek Cool, thanks!
Wunderschön lackiert 👍👍👍👍👍
Harry potter fan? love it haha. Nice vid there Chris
Thanks! 😊
Hello, how were you able to not pull off the factory paint when masking with frog tape? I figure it would peel the thin factory paint right off when you pull the frog tape off.
I’ve had very good success with frog tape. I’ll typically place the tape on my shirt first before placing it on the model and then peel it back over itself when lifting it up. Works great!
Fantastic. I will try that with the frog tape. Thanks for the info!
Very nice. I play il2 sturmovk vr
Great video! Do you think this is a better choice than the Dynam focke wolf and is worth getting?
Thanks! Imo, the quality of this one is quite a bit better than the dynam.
@@Thercgeek OK, do you think this is worth getting as a first warbird as in is it easy to fly, as if not I might get a bush plane
I have had only bit of experience with RC planes
If you have some tail wheel experience you should be fine. The hardest part in flying the model is the takeoff, so just requires smooth throttle control and avoiding lifting off the airplane too soon. Otherwise, it’s a pretty cool flyer.
When you use Windex, does it matter If it has ammonia I it?
Good question. I don’t believe the windex that I use for that stuff has ammonia in it.
Where did you purchase the control throw gauge? All of your planes always seem to look great, but I have been most envious of that gauge for a while now! I must get one!
Great Planes incidence meter, found it!
Throw meter.
Yeah, it’s called an accuthrow meter from great planes. My understanding is that it’s been discontinued. So that’s awesome if you found one!
Luv mine 3 years now retracts are getting a little finicky now lol
Whao!!! I gots One
Yasss!
AWESOME BRO!! 🤘🤘💪
Thanks mah dude!
Be very nice with one of those old RCV56 engines in it
Old school rotary, nice!
@@Thercgeek rotating cylinder valve engine, with the piston inside the output shaft, Four stroke jobys
can you fly bind this plane to nx8 transmitter
This one comes without a receiver in it, so can use any type of radio system with it.
How much torque is on the plane on take offs
It’s pretty manageable on this airplane as the rudder remains pretty effective through the full speed range on takeoff.
@@Thercgeek thanks for the information
Can you remove the canopy without damaging the fuselage?
Usually, if you can get a fingernail underneath one of the edges and start lifting it, it’ll start to pull away from the fuselage. That’s how I go about it. If you get a tool in there, that’s when you run the risk of damaging the surrounding areas on the fuse.
@@Thercgeek Thank you. i was thinking about buying it in separate parts instead if I were to buy it instead.
Where can I get Frog tape .
I get it from Amazon amzn.to/3JVkjv7
LARGER PROPELLERS please! We want real scale props.
you forgot the swastika
This is a old model. I have two of them. Hype made them at the time(8years back).
LG quality is garbage btw
