  Good luck with your build. I built one of these 35 years ago. I think it used printed wood for the ribs and shaped parts. I have a photo of it along with the original plan somewhere. I had no idea how to trim or fly it, but I think I got a few short flights before i overwound the rubber motor and busted the fuselage. Hopefully seeing yours fly will inspire me to have another go!

  I had made my own mast & forks but they where to heavy for the loader being 13 inches long I wanted to lift cars long ways but steering sucks, even the upgrade is to slow, I want to mock up a servo, start with 25kg will do 100kg if that's not fast enough

  I heard you mention. You upgraded the gears on the loader. Do you have a link to where you bought the gears from? I have the same Huina loader. I also want to upgrade it. I was thinking of upgading the electronics as well. Any ideas? I've seen a video of someone modifying their Huina with a 3S brush ESC. But, it looks very involved. I'm not that mechanicly inclined . A motor upgade would be nice. Any suggestions?

  Thanks for watching my video, if you look back in my list of videos you will see a video where i show putting the upgraded gearboxes on it as well as a few other items, to take out all the electrics and replace with a better ESC is very technical & yes it's extremely involved to get it right and something you would have to spend a lot of time getting right, here is a link for the gearbox upgrades & you need two of them, the rest of the upgrades can all be found on the same website by typing in 1583 or 583, Gearbox link, magomhrc.com/en/huina-583-hydraulic-conversion/1697-huina-583-traction-kit.html

  Very nice job. What's the final weight? I used to find that lubricating the rubber was a great way to get the best out of it. Putting on the turns can definitely be pretty scary! When I flew big outdoor duration models the rubber was stretched out seven or eight feet from the nose before being cranked many hundreds of turns. The stored-up power was incredible. Back in the fuselage it was enclosed in a separate reinforced tube that was there to prevent it from smashing the plane to bits as it unwound. I'm sure your lovely Ajax will have no such problems. Good luck!

  At freehand painting down looks really excellent I thought you were going to say you spend a while masking it all off! I kept my undercarriage in on the Ajax by bending The Wire into a slight s shape on each wire. Have you lubricated the motor, you'll get a lot more turns on it?

• 
  @Darren-RC-videos3 ай бұрын

  I lied a little there about the painting,lol 😁 I did mask off the fuselage to do the line down each side but the rest is all free hand. I did in fact bend the ends of the wire to hold it in but did not help so got a drop of super glue on each side just to hold in place.

  I sometimes thin down cellulose glue with laqqer thinner and use to attach the esaki or domestic tissue...I have used the uhu glue stick which is a superior bond ...then use krylon crystal clear spay to seal the tissue... tutorial at easy built models...give it a look see..great to see modelers share their projects...❤

• 
  @CliffHarveyRCPlanes3 ай бұрын

  Great progress Darren but a few observations if I may, if you use a blue glue stick you can see if there's any areas you've missed without having to put on more than you need, it dries clear by the way. Personally I would use a bigger piece of tissue per panel, it just makes it easier to handle. You don't need to go over the glued areas with dope, it won't unstick also, unlike the undercamber on the underneath of the wing, you don't want to glue the tissue to every rib because each small area of tissue won't stretch as much, or as evenly, as one large area. Another great tip I picked up is to cover the wing tip panel separately, this way you won't have any wrinkles to contend with. One last thing, I would mist it with water, it gives the dope less work to do. Hope this helps for future builds 👍🙂

• 
  @Darren-RC-videos3 ай бұрын

  Hi cliff, did not know there was a blue glue stick available. I never use to bother with misting with water back in the day when I was making these. It's all had one thinned down coat of dope and is looking very nice now.

  Hello, Darren! Ah, wonderful Keil Kraft. Happy days. I remember adding banana-oil to thinned [cellulose] dope, which gave a useful amount of toughness and elasticity to the tissue covering. I look forward to seeing your test flights.🙂 I don't have anywhere local to do any indoor flying [I'm based in West Yorkshire], so I'm more of an outdoor gal. If you're tempted to venture outside with your Ajax, please watch out for rogue thermals if the model's not using a dethermaliser on every flight. I've lost more than one plane over the years, and it really hurts because it's usually your best ones that disappear vertically! I started fitting ultra-lightweight RC gear to my 'free-flight' models a couple of years ago, and it's grand being able to interrupt them occasionally and then guide them (almost) home. You still get to do all the usual free-flight fiddling and power-on, power-off trimming with shims and whatnot, but with the bonus of not losing your beloved creations. I use either rudder only, or rudder and elevator in the bigger models. Great fun, and it's a part of the hobby that the CAA hasn't destroyed yet. Yet...😞

  @Darren-RC-videos4 ай бұрын

  Hi, Thanks for your comments. No shes going to be an indoor only flyer as no intention of taking outdoors, I got my bigger r/c planes for the outdoors flying, I'm just in the middle of putting the tissue on then it's on with some thinned down dope. Should be ready by weekend.
