Its been 50 years since I last built an RC plane. Wish the kits back then were like this. The colour coded sections make it very clear. I have no inclination to get back into the hobby, but this video was very enjoyable to watch and would provide an excellent aid to anyone building the same kit.

Thanks a lot! I built my first kit mid of the 80's, a Graupner Amigo II. Indeed a significant difference to our laser cut kit nowadays. I have learned everything back then from my father and these skills still come in handy even with high precision part in todays kits

That is a clean build. I feel like I'm a little kid compared to this man.

Thanks a lot. I do my best to have clean builds. But I am sure you are too humble. And in the end the main thing is that it flies straight and we're having fun 😀😉

Yet another fine build!!! Bravo!!!

Thanks a lot. It was a really nice build experience. I still haven't had the chance to maiden it, but I will do that soon.

Great vid, with really helpful tips. Many thanks !

Thanks a lot. I am happy that some of my tips are useful. I keep learning with every build and I enjoy sharing it with the community

Fantastic build!! Thank you for sharing! I bought one of these a few months ago but haven't begun building just yet, glad I didn't now that I have this vid to reference!

Thanks, great that you liked it! Have fun with the build! I enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching this and it has nudged me a bit closer to making a purchase, think it would make a perfect plane to take for a walk and do some hedge hopping. 👍

Thanks, happy that you liked it and that I could inspire you to possible build the Maverick as well. I still haven't maidened it, but I will for sure do a flight video, so keep an eye on my channel 😀

Great Job, now i need to buy this kit also.

Nice build ... to fix the plan on the table I use transparent adhesive film: easier, in 1 operation you protect the plan and it’s fixed on the table

Thanks 😊 Good idea to use transparent adhesive film. It isn‘t one of my favorite tasks to fix the film on the plan and have it properly tensioned. Do you have a link to the one you use?

Top !

Fantastic video. The first (and only) model I ever built like this was very satisfying, but I certainly made a few mistakes. Would you classify this as an appropriate second model to build? It's exactly the size and type I would enjoy flying.

Thanks, great that you liked it! There are some key elements for this build, like getting the fuse straight and not warping the control surfaces during covering with film. They require a bit of experience. I would rather say the Maverick is a 3rd than a 2nd model to build. But if you take my video as a guide and go carefully step by step, why not?

Another great build video. I'm curious what the total build time is from unboxing to ready-to-fly.

Thanks, I am happy that you liked it. Hard to tell what the total build time was. It took me 3,5 months with some periods of more and some with less progress.

On my balsa build of the Triple Neo Thermic....I have experienced warping of the wings structure. I am using standard carpenter glue and appropriate weight to hold down the layers as the glue dries. is there a remedy for this warpage?

@bavarian_rc

Ай бұрын

Hi Peter, on the Triple Neo Thermic I had no issues with warping. In which area is it? There is some chance of recovering the warping during the covering with film by shrinking the film differently strong in order to counteract the warping. Nevertheless you should not expect too much from that. If the warping is really bad you might have to consider removing the part that caused the warping and redo it. Was it caused by the sheeting or was it present before? Were the sheets already warped before glueing? in that case even after using weights and waiting for the glue to fully cure the forces in the sheeting will try to get back to the initial shape which could result in warping. Balsa is normally not so critical but plywood has more power.

I built this model last year, I am still trying to learn how to fly it correctly, I tend to fly it too slowly and find that I keep inducing a stall, when this happens near to the ground damage is caused, so I have had to make some repairs.

I am curious to see how it will fly. I will remember your comment for the first flights and be careful. Have you tried changing the CG and maybe also the angle of attack of the horizontal stabilizer? Both are connected and have a strong influence on the flight characteristics. If the thin fuselage is not perfectly straight your hstab could be a little bit off.
