Never knew you could get RC planes as simple/light as this. Looks great fun!

Fun with a capital 'F' FizzlePop, have a look at my 'Microaces' section for more little RC planes.

I'm definitely going to get one of these. I remember asking my granddad if my 1/32 Spitfire could be made into RC about 30 years ago. He said no. Shame he's not alive now to see this!

Hi there and thanks for watching, rc is fun but then all aspects of our hobby is fun, you're still young at heart which is good, cheers.

I do like the airplane, although, ill need the model with auto level feature for now. I’m not a great winged pilot. I enjoy watching you do it though. Fun! Thank you for the video. ✨

Hi Corin, thanks, it uses an 8520 Coreless motor (check Minimum RC website). I can't recommend a particular setup, check out Banggood for complete sets, eg www.safaridrives.co.uk/brushless-motor-power-kit-esc-prop-for-up-to-800g-rc-model-aircraft-2s-3s/?sku=800G-ALLP-KIT-3S&gclid=CjwKCAjw-ZCKBhBkEiwAM4qfF9gJ7o0Uu7ESnr0z967_OS1y6SNnqfLUmxtnnnCnbC79_rG5WzGpZxoCU20QAvD_BwE 👍

I have the VF109 and I had to add a bunch of weight to the nose to get the CG at 10mm from leading edge.... did you have to do the same for the Spitty? I want to get another one as I like these kids, but kind of surprised how much weight I had to add.

It's dsm2 and dsmx I believe, so yes, but mine is an old dx6i, have a look at their website for more info, the link is in the description Irwin.

Any idea why there are two different brands of glue included? Also, I beveled my cuts - i think the hinge method might be cleaner. Do the hinged parts really only move 5mm in each direction?

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Frige, the 'UFO' is an all purpose glue suitable for foam and the other I think was cyano (ca) although I can't remember using any off hand. Regarding the hinge method whatever works best for you really. 5mm is fine for the elevator throw but for better rolls go for a bit more on the aileron athough 5mm is fine as a starting point, some flyers like more throw than others of course.

Hi Mhalo, if that's the only motor you have then keep the throttle on a very low setting. You can hold the finished model vertically in your hand and open the throttle just enough to take the weight of the model and this would be your maximum throttle setting, probably less 👍
