I know this is an older video,but guys buting these planes always refer to your video's when looking to do it because lets face it, dynam instructions are bad. Your videos are the most comprehensive that I have seen. I am surprised you didnt glue the glass rod like you usually do, especially on a plane like this that likes to fly fast anyways. I have seen too many videos with guys wings comming apart. Dynam contact cement is the best stuff out there as far as foam safe and strong. Always make sure you put glue on both surfaces,then let it tack up guys. I like sealing my paint job with a poly coat by minwax before applying decales. Dynam is great for leaving off the decals. Your instructions for applying decals is the best on Y.T. I would paint the other part of the canopy green. I saw the bad gapping on the wing roots and would sand the mating points and if needed use wall board light weight filler and painting the seam. I know you dont lighting your model but to the guys that do. I would recommend using a Turnigy lighting kit. Plan on replacing the weak dim leds that came with the plane,tou will have to carefully pull the lens covers off and solder the new leds into the existing wiring harness. I use dip it as an insulating material on my wires. then solder in the connecting ends and plug the kit power pack to the receiver and plug in your connectors and you are ready to go.I know its extra work and understand why gus dont like connecting the lighting but its an option. As I said,you made a great video here. I watch them all,even if I am not buying that particular plane. Mabe someday I will. Thanks to you, I can be sure I did it right and be satisfied it will be right. No thanks to Dynam.lol.

Thanks for that Jim, I have just ordered one of these so your vid has been very helpful.

Great build video's Jim! I'm definitely getting one of these planes. Love your building tips especially about the cockpit nibs. Thanks mate!

Jim: super info just like your book.

Great decal application technique. I would also rcommend applying some of them before assembly. Sometimes it is easier to apply to the individual parts rather than manipulation the entire aircraft around.

Hey Jim !... I just built my Hawker Tempest... Your canopy hatch thing worked awesome !! I used the thin stick for stirring epoxy ...no dents or fingerprints. thanks !! Balanced at 70 with just a few small weights How do you think is the best way to hold the LiPo in (just Velcro) ...or do you use a different method ??? I don't want it to flop around at all in there !!! Thanks again in advance !! Geordan, Roseville Calif.

***** oh...Hey there JIm ... thanks much ..thats what I thought . I will hopefully maiden this Tempest this weekend... Keep up the great videos. ...G

how much weight did you add to the nose?

Nice plane, the only thing that ruins the appearance is the pilot figure is way out of scale (to big) for this scale plane, and no landing gear doors.

Also the wrong prop; should be a four-blade.

how do you put the led's so they work

Little anecdot about the Hawker Tempest , at the end of the second world war when Adolf Galland surrender with is own Messerschmitt 262. to British landing on a airfield in allied occupy territory the only bird he was interrested to see from close and know more about it was the Hawker tempest , even sit in the cockpit of a free french aces telling him the Tempest was is favorit allied fighter

what did you end up with for CG, been seeing people using anywhere from 65-70?

"at about 70mm", Jim stated this at 24:50 in this video.

Мне модель НЕ понравилась. Перетяжелённый свинцом кирпич. Очень нестабильная штатная аппаратура Не рекомендую. I did not like the model. A lead-burned brick. Very unstable standard equipment. I do not recommend it.
