Hi Tim, I did build the quick oats and it turned out very good. Very pleased. Stevens arrow was very helpful. And thank you for your help. Also, I now have a beautiful plane, that surprisingly flies beautiful. I followed your step-by-step build and helped me immensely. Thanks again.

Hi Jim: Glad it worked out for you! Tim

I did it. I ordered a FLYSKY 10 Ch. radio and and this StevensAeroModel Quick oats model RC trainer. I appreciate how you explain the process and I look forward to supporting your channel. Thanks for the thorough videos, I feel like you are sharing your love for the hobby and it is inspiring! I appreciate a push in the right direction. Thanks, Brent

i plan on getting a few arf's for my grandsons they have shown a great interest in rc flying and they do really well on my simulator so i think its time they learn to build one on their own. Thank you Tim it was a very informative video god bless and keep em coming

Thx for sharing! I like the fact that they provide a "shopping list" of what equipment is needed. The more complex barrier for me so far is the electronics, so I am hopping that if I follow that list I will get compatible electronics and set-up. I still have other projects running on my channel, but I think this will soon be in my backlog! Thank you!

I just aquired the Goldberg 42 Skylane but feel a bit nervous about the build (backround is mostly Guillow's and Sterling kits). I think I need to just lay it all out and get started.

Hi Tim, I'm 65 and just started to enjoy building so I'm learning a lot from your videos. I've been flying foam airplanes for years but excited to see if it's true that balsa flies better. I think the Quick Oats looks suitable for my style of flying and building skills. Subscribed and looking forward to your next video.

As always, great video , Tim! Very nice model. I'm curious- with the battery you used, about how long would the maximum flight time of this plane be?

@TimMcKay56

ZZ: I am conservative to try and avoid crashes due to battery running down. Thus, I set 5 minute flights. With lower throttle, seem to discharge around 40%. Would rather have a few safe, shorter flights than pushing a battery. Tim

Good Morning Tim. What would you suggest is the best balsa powered RC glider kit. Also building your Bronco plane. Enjoy your videos. Ralph.

@TimMcKay56

2 ай бұрын

Keep the weight as low as possible. For a trainer a longer wingspan usually helps. Tim

Wouldnt a foam or epp flyer like the magnum reloaded be more forgiving for a beginner? On the other hand this looks just way better!

Hi Tim, When I was a teenager, I put together a few non-motorized flying models, only gliders such as "Czyżyk" or "Jaskółka". These are the Polish versions of the ribbed gliders. I never needed any (hair) saw as the ribs and other parts were already cut. How can I cut plywood without damaging the parts? Is the processing fixture expensive. Friends encourage me to come back to modeling, but somehow I don't know how to approach it (after about 40 years). I currently live in the USA, but in 3 months I will fly to my home country and I would like to use my time somehow (I am retired) and not bore myself to death. Have a nice day.

Tim, after watching this video about 10 times over and over I decided to send away for one. I went down the list of everything I needed and bought them. The only thing I couldn’t get was a battery they were out, so I purchased at some other place. One thing I keep going over on this video is where you said you had to make a little change with the servos. You said it was a little tricky and you had to cut out a little bit to make them fit. What exactly did you have to cut to make The servoes fit properly. I’m just concerned about that. I want to make sure I do it right. As I build this model I’m sure I’m gonna have to keep playing this video over and over but I’m glad I’m able to do that. This is sure different than when I built my two GWS slow sticks. This will be a challenge for me but I want to do it. Wish me luck. Thank you Tim, any response would be greatly appreciated!

Jim: Congrats on your new project! The Quick Oats is a neat airplane to build and the photo illustrated guide helps a lot. No worries on the servo installation. Stevens Aero had a laser cut size for whatever servos they planned to use. I used Hitec HS-55 servos which were a tad bigger than the ones used by the designer, thus I had to cut open the servo spaces a bit more on the mounting platform to install the servos. This is easy to do with a sharp #11 X-acto blade. If you can get some smaller servos, try the Hitec HS40 servos. Super light weight, they may fit better. I got my HS40 servos on Amazon.com. Tim

My approach back to RC is to build from scratch including the Avionics. I aquired plans from Cleveland Model & supp. for the 80" Playboy so I can pack it with gear. I got to build the airplane.....You can do it if you get bored. You have a Great Show. its stops me from getting my stuff done.
