Well thanks for the decompression therapy, James. I learned so much watching this series. I have so much more to learn… but your bird looks like a million bucks! Hope you’re in the air soon!

I bought a CD drive from a gentleman on Ebay for all the Royal kits plans. I already tile printed the B-25 Mitchel and cut and taped together. Nicely done. Or you can take the file to office depot, max, fedex kinkos, ect. to have full sheets printed. Can even have them enlarged or reduced.

Great work James. I think you could be a little more conservative on your material cutting and save the surplus for the scrap pile for future builds or repairs.

Hi James, what tool are you using to trim the monokote, not talking about the x-acto knife the other tool, by the way you are doing a fantastic job, been watching all your videos and been getting a lot of tips. Thank you

Looks good. Can’t go wrong with red, white and blue!👍

I love it when a (building) plan comes together ;-)

Brillant Job👍👍👍

Looks absolutely fantastic I wish I could see some of the angle cuts in a little slower motion.

Awesome work James! I really like the jig made out of PVC tubing, tees and elbows to hold up your airplane. Sometime I find myself needing more room and be able to walk around the model. You inspired me to put something like that together. It’s also right up my alley: as a hamradio operator, I tend to build a lot of antennas using PVC haha! Keep up the excellent work!

You Sir, are one fine builder.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nice Job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent covering job. I enjoyed watching your work start to finish. Excellent stuff I love covering with Monokote.

Great job!!

Can you start glow engines in a clockwise motion or is it counter clockwise only? I have a fox 40 glow engine and I’m not sure which way it should properly be run

That little creature is called a ‘stink’ bug. If you kill it you will quickly see why it’s called a stink bug. They are however harmless to us.

Looks awsome James!

Top job 👍👍👍

😮👏👏👏👏👏

Looks awesome!!!!

😅😅😅...!!!... Woot...!!!...Woot...!!!...Looks Great...!!!

Looks fantastic

Beautiful!

Looking at the airfield layout and the wind, it looks like you took off in the wrong direction. It’s little mistakes like that that’ll ruin your day ;-) Well I made plenty of those 😂

My first engine was a FP-40. Ran great, and easy to adjust. I also had several of the Thunder Tiger plain bushing clones of the FP and they also were good engines.

😊😊😊

What kind of pencil were you using? I'm loving this build series!!

Nice job. Very well done.

The biggest issue I have had to overcome is that needle adjustment is not instantaneous you need to give the diaphragm time to react to the new settings.

Thank you for your videos sir, i’m starting in this hobby, i enjoy your tutorials and the lessons you give. Tomorrow i’m starting my first balsa plane, a fokker DR1. Wish me luck! (Sorry for my grammar, it’s not native english)

Easier too just remake it you repair repair all the time

Whats the cg on this plane?? I got a used one from a person and it is converted to electric but no battery and it's never flown.

I have a TH Kaos 40 ARF and when it was brand new, I stuck it in the top of a tree to the north of the runway of the club I belong to. it took me two days to get it out and when It came out it hit the truck of someone who helped me get it out. it nocked two huge holes on both sides of the wing. I also destroyed the carb in my brand new OS Max 46 AX, It took me a while to figure out how to fix it. I thought it was the same airplane as the TH Kaos 40 kit that I have and I found out real quick this was not the case. as the wing on the ARF has a longer rib so I just guessed the actual rib profile drew it out and made 6 half ribs. I fit the ribs in the holes and made a new leading edge section them I sheeted both sides top and bottom. you can tell what I did to all but man does this airplane fly! good luck with your rebuild James!

I will never admit some of my pilot errors. thanks.

Are turbines allowed there ?

0747 you may know that the use of full strip ailerons is not recommended (on anything that is not a cropduster). 1025 when the model is level, the main lg should be located directly below the wing leading edge. 1113 it is the opposite of smart to put bends in a wire pushrod.! 1302 the height of the tail wheel strut/assembly is excessive. 1330 bends in the pushrod equals WRONG.!!! 1332 top edge of rudder/vert-stab should be Parallel to the air flow..

Well once again that sucks but as they say what doesn't hurt you makes you smarter. Just like Steve Austin we can build them faster, stronger, its all on par with the learning curve of the hobby. Ok lite winds & smooth landings 😊

Crashes are all part of the hobby. There are only two types of planes..those that have crashed and those that will crash. I put my plan into a tree a few months ago, so I had my time at the repair bench. Good luck.

Dispiace vedere un modello danneggiato ,ma al contempo è un'occasione per vedere la riparazione che certamente riuscirà bene e sarà per noi molto utile , saluti e byon lavoro

Any suggestions on removing old stubborn Monokote. Took off most with heat gun. Got off some more with packing tape. This plane has been in a garage in the south Louisiana heat for many years. Im left with sticky orage residue in spots. Asetone only smears. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Oh man. Sorry for your loss. Part of the hobby I guess.

I searched youtube for videos on recovering. For a garage find I bought. By first nitro plane. Been flying electric foamies for the last few years. Found you build video and binge watched the whole series. Totally awesome! Thanks for all the useful info. I think I want to take on a build. Beautiful plane. Nice work..

My instructor is an old guy and he tells me that one of the things you need to do on a maiden flight is to take it up to altitude and check out the slow flight characteristics. For example, how much or how little throttle is required to maintain level flight? How does it behave in a stall? What kind of glide ratio does it have? Also, he said that if things start to get out of hand, reduce the throttle. Most planes flying full throttle in level flight will tend to be twitchy because of excessive speed. Interesting and exciting flight to watch. Glad you got it back on the ground OK.

Why did it crash? Something wrong with that design? Will you recommend me to build it?

I understand this video is several months old but one thing that's really good for putting on the sheeting is using a steam iron. Put the tite bond on all surfaces to glue and let it tack up. Turn the iron on using the steam to stick the parts together. It works great. I do it on all my planes while scratch building. I enjoy watching your videos.

Amazing ! Great work 👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice! I like the red wingtip. Covering job is great!

Nice work

Beautifully done.
