Interesting. I bought a second hand zero of this size and it too has a real issue with the CG. I decided there were two approaches, add more weight to the nose or remove a lot of weight from the tail. So I moved the servos a long way forward and used carbon push rods. I replaced the clevises with tiny Z bend wires held on with heatshrink and cyno. I hollowed out a lot of foam in the tail and added a 1mm carbon strip down each side. I even moved the landing gear forward a little. I replaced the receiver with a BYME-A and a tiny S-BUS R-XSR from a drone.
In the end I managed to get a decent CG with no weight in the nose and the whole plane was a lot ligher than before. It now flys quite well in calm conditions and I can take off and land on short grass nicely with the gear moved forward a bit. Being a lot ligher I get good flight times too. Despite all this, it still flies too fast, it likes to tip stall in slower turns and it hates the wind. I'm no expert but I think the wing loading is still too high.
So I learned a lot and I'm pleased I did it. However, I still don't really enjoy flying it all that much unless it is dead calm.
Thanks for sharing your story, I guess we all have a least one model that we keep even though it flies like a dog! Onwards and upwards! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
have 2. fw190 & p51. first thing i did was remove rudder servo from both n glue rudder centered. 850 2 cell. 7x6 (gws slow fly style) both fly great now!!!
Good to know at least some of Nicesky's aircraft can fly! Thanks for sharing the info. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
I sure can relate t this - built a model to the diy plans, balanced right, but just spiraled in and it was also left wing down each time. Must be something there but I couldn't find it, and did as you did, moved on and use my time and electric bits on the next model that shows promise of a better outcome. Thanks for sharing your experience, makes me feel better :) Cheers!
Hey thanks! Never has the RAF motto rang more truly "Per ardua ad astra"!! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Oh Dear, Wing Commander Biggles! Please remain in Spain if WW3 eventuates. 😜🙄
Glad we've stuck to our little EPP Kamikazi rebounders! 😂
Can't win 'em all!! Let's hope the Hobbyking Lanc fairs better!!!
That's a shame. The NiceSky Corsair goes really well with 850mah 3S.
Good to know! Although the Corsair is one of my favourite aircraft I will not be in a "Hurri" to repeat my experience with Nicesky!! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica The foam is of poor quality and possibly the least crash-resistant that I have ever seen except for the loathsome AR Wing Pro. I have stuck the Corsair's right wing back on a number of times. I also got rid of the single central aileron servo in favour of individual micro servos. Thinking about it - I also changed the ESC, installed flaperons and installed a gyro RX. So - loadsa trouble, but the design at least does fly. On balance I would agree that NiceSky products can be left at the vendor.
@@mrhilma Definitely avoid in future!
I think i had a 700mm P-51 from the same company. I never managed to make it fly correctly. It only had a couple of 3 minute flights, and then i decided it wasn't worth the efford. Had i known earlier i wouldn't have flown it at all. I would have kept it only for static display. Now i got one of these too... and although i am certain IT WILL NEVER FLY, i am still tempted to try.
Good luck my friend! If you find a magic solution let me know!! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
About to maiden mine 2morow. Thanks for validating what I thought were some of the issues considering I built it with no manual.
Best of luck!! Please let us know how it goes, waiting with bated breath!!
@@1nformatica yeah.. the maiden was no good. It kept flying nearly straight up (ihad to switch to low rates) and then finally down she went. Broken wing... Don't think this is one i want to invest anymore time with...
@@ArceezRC Bummer! I was hoping you may prove me wrong but although it looks good it's a dog! What will you build next?
@@1nformatica in the queue is a Sky Surfer x8 glider. :)
@@ArceezRC Can't go wrong there! When I returned to the hobby after a 20 year break I flew a Bixler which is similar to the Sky Surfer. Still enjoy it now for a relaxing flight!
Can you draw a "chalk outline" on the last flight end spot?
I think we know "who dunit"! Gone, but not forgotten, watch this space...............
Ouch... 😬
Well, you tried. We can't have everything. But great job either way, man!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yes! Cannot win them all! Onto the next one!
Look at the Byme Gyros. Very small.
You mean like this : ua-cam.com/video/5xAv4A5aVFY/v-deo.html Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica Yes.. exactly..😉
@@lasersbee The A3 Mini Gyro has replaced the Byme for my future builds, I did a review here : ua-cam.com/video/rPhf0cLP1hw/v-deo.html
What about pilot or control setup error?
Pre flight checks including the direction of gyro correction are as always performed before every flight. As for pilot error that is always a possibility! Maybe check through some of my other 160 odd RC videos to see if I can fly or not. The radio gear and gyro were used to maiden the Lancaster recently so it was not equipment failure : ua-cam.com/video/9AM6t9kdA48/v-deo.html I challenge you to find ANY video of this model flying! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica well yeah i totally get it! Tnx for noticing my reply. Absolutely not meant as an insult. I saw the thing on sale in hobbyking as the cheapest pnf. Ive seen many fly recently actually so i guess its possible
@@MrJob91 If you mean this plane : hobbyking.com/en_us/h-king-hawker-hurricane-mk-iib-750mm-30-w-6-axis-orx-flight-stabilizer-pnf.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw5P2aBhAlEiwAAdY7dGbzMxWQmEa91dcTLyjNg12I0iGMxn9ta8WSQTcuKC8imrVhIcy8rhoCEPsQAvD_BwE&tgsid=CjwKCAjw5P2aBhAlEiwAAdY7dGbzMxWQmEa91dcTLyjNg12I0iGMxn9ta8WSQTcuKC8imrVhIcy8rhoCEPsQAvD_BwE it is a completely different animal and I'm sure it flies fine. The "Nicesky" Hurri is distributed by Banggood.
De cuántos KV es el Motor???💥
Es un Racerstar D2730 3000Kv 2S Lipo www.racerstar.com/racerstar-d2730-1300kv-1700kv-3000kv-2-3s-brushless-motor-for-fixed-wing-rc-airplane-1300kv-p-409.html
Perdona por ser pesado, la Batería cual usaste ??✌️
@@carlosriosmunoz2328 Hola, los primeros intentos fueron usando un paquete TATTU 1050: amzn.to/3JCWloM Como todavía era pesado, probé el paquete de 1300 mAh de Hobbyking que ves aquí: ua-cam.com/video/sHQwHn9miaU/v-deo.html Un saludo.
Just a rubbish design, I had a moulded aerobatic design looked great, flew atrociously worst flying model I've ever had.
Agreed, it's crap! Have to stick to flying ugly planes! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
