I'm flying Nitro planes in 1980s then fly electric now then going back to nitro again... RC life goes around.

Escapade is a great little plane and the engine is pulling beautiful! Not going lean on the upline. I've been flying glow since I was 9 years old, I'm 75 now and still running my glow's :):):)

Question. I got a plane with a glow what fuel does it run on?

@@BluecollarPodcast1776 If you are not familiar with the operation of a glow engine I strongly advise you to seek competent help. Glow engines are reliable when properly tuned but you can't do it with a left handed hammer. Also fuel tank position is rather critical.

​​​@@BluecollarPodcast1776 Absolutely seek help. I have watched nitro guys many times, I'm an engineer with good theoretical expertise in this field, I've read and watched about it on internet a lot, and I still needed few advices from experienced nitro guys to fly my nitro plane for the first time. But to answers your question, glow fuel is always methanol with about 20% oil, and optionally some nitromethane. Methanol can be substituted with ethanol, oil can be castor or synthetic or mix of both, nitromethane adds power and makes the motor easier to tune.

Nice flying Jon. There's nothing quite like a nitro. The sound and smell is exciting enough.🙂

Back in the old days we had planes and motors like this and no way to control them we trimed them to fly straight and level hand launched them and then got in the car to chase them until they crashed.

Thanks! We actually bought this new from one of the RC pilots in our club two years ago. He bought it new from Tower Hobbies some years back but he said that he never had time to even take it out of the box! So we bought it for less than half the retail price! We put in our own electronics and motor and she was flying the following weekend!

I forgot how good the nitro planes sound compared to all this new electric stuff.

I do love electrics but when I’m trying to learn or perfect a maneuver, nothing beats nitro or gas. I can fly for 10+ minutes, land, refuel and take off again!

You have a good engine guy at your field. His advice was top notch. Many people go off nitro because they don’t know how to tune them or “listen” for lean (dull, nasaly sound with throttle advance quoting) vs rich( sluggish, spluttering burbling sound) Having this knowledge from an experienced nitro dude means you can really enjoy nitro for years with minimal reliability issues. Great flying though and hope to see you get more nitro planes in the air!!

@JonsRC

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Honestly, we’ve never seen anyone in the field use them for their nitro planes. For cars running in the dirt, it makes sense but for airplanes in the air probably not so much. I guess on some planes where the nitro motor is oriented towards the ground it would make sense. Again, we are new to nitro planes and the field Admin who helped us build it never mentioned the air filter.

Beautiful plane and flight buddy 🎉

How about a knife edge , stall tests , flat spins Dutch rolls etc.

How much would this setup cost total??

Are you going to camp ama this year

The best starter RC plane is either the E-flite Apprentice or the E-flite AeroScout. I have flown both and love both of them. The AeroScout is more docile but the Apprentice is much bigger and much easier to tell orientation.
