Love the trim videos and how you explain what does what. Couldn't help but start laughing @ 8:03... Sorry Hope! Now you guys are going to need a sign that says "CAUTION: Low Flying Aircraft"!
Ouch! They can be bent back. Once. Just be careful and remember when installing the prop shaft, if you're having to force it in, you're not doing it right.
Hey Josh, although I'm a Gas Free Flight & large rubber guy I'm fascinated with your Trimming techniques. They all seem to work with any "Let her go & pray" Model. Couple of questions that you may answer during future video's. Did you remove the nose ballast? How do you repeat the angles after breaking the stab. for future flights, you did talk about that regarding the wing adjustment. Could the tail boom be rotated to achieve the desired angles required. Just getting into this type of flying. Entertain company by flying my Mini Stick around our Great room while enjoying a Drink.
I reckon I qualify as an everything guy since I fly the big outdoor stuff too. Indoor models are *usually* more forgiving than out faster outdoor stuff. Also being a plane for young people, I can't include the adjustable stab I would normally use, as kids can't reliably attach adjustment tubes to the flying surfaces for traditional wing posts until they've built a decent number of planes (most of the customers for this plane are first time builders). Biggest problem with the plane in this video was that it was a prototype with an excessively soft motorstick. When I changed out the stick it flew much more easily, and so all of the production planes used hard balsa for the motorstick. The consequences of a crash on an indoor model are of course much lower than for a light indoor model, we can afford dorking it in a few times. And now back to contemplating my B Starduster... 🤪
If it's actually grapevining with knots growing out away from the rubber and hitting the motorstick, you're winding too many turns in a full stretch and you need to start coming in sooner. Otherwise, just lubricate the rubber well and hope for the best.
I've done several videos on this but it's a function of rubber thickness and size. For anything under 0.093" rubber like that in the video, you need go be targeting a minimum of 1000 turns.
I had entered my own unique design way back when, took a good deal of time and effort to build. The bus driver said I couldn't take the tote on the bus, so had to store it under. Moisture got to it. The wings were horribly warped. I had stringers incorporated into the design, so was able to tug the wings a certain way so that the inconsistencies cancelled themselves out. I got third place, people were amazed that it even flew. So was I to be honest.
@@joshuawfinn yes sir, been promising everyone around me a multi industry revolutionizing invention, and big industry at that. Aviation, wind turbines, hydro electric turbines, and submersible propulsion units. It just got past the patent search, it is in fact my idea. I live for this idea. Here soon I hope. Been building a proof of concept, but lately everything seems compounding. So focused on completing the patent, then to... Elon? I heard he wants to create an electric airplane, this'll do him solid.

Hi Josh, was wondering if the prop is hand made? It looks like the plastic in a bacon package. Beautiful flight at 10:30- magic!
No, that is a stock Ikara propeller. I believe it's the same type of plastic tho.
New to this.....was using a pen tube for prop bearing.Now bought some small aluminum bearings.Crushed on the first flight.......😢

Josh sir it was so beautiful smile on your face when the plane came on camera,,, really
Nice plane! Wow...are there still cicadas singing in early October in GA?
Yeah they sing most of the year. We have long summers.

08:03 maybe move next time 🤣👍👍🇺🇸
Whenever I wind my motor, the rubber develops kinks that make the turns a bit jolty. Is there something that I can do to prevent this?
If it's actually grapevining with knots growing out away from the rubber and hitting the motorstick, you're winding too many turns in a full stretch and you need to start coming in sooner. Otherwise, just lubricate the rubber well and hope for the best.
How much do you wind the motor?

Great video
Haii Joss i like yours all videos ❤️
Can u show me how make propeller in as bearing with take apart method🙏🙏

Delivering when the pressure is on is what counts!

Bravo bello il modello saluti dal italy
what does shim mean
It's a piece of scrap material placed between two components to force them apart a set amount.
wonderful to have a wife who actually knows stuff. thank you for this video!
