Great video showing the competition maneuvers! Thanks for sharing. In CA, we have had some great practice sessions to practice scale contest maneuvers. Bill Hart, member of the Scale Squadron and OCMA fly club help to organize the practice sessions. We had some advance flyers that have competed in Scale Master contests helping to judge and help to call for the pilots. It was great experience. And your video is great to show what it takes to do the maneuvers. Not easy!!! Especially the Lazy 8; remaining at the same altitude as you start at thru the entire maneuver to the finish. You did great! I am still practicing. Takes a lot of practice to do well, but like you said, and also Bill, it is fun and the practice gets one ready for the competition. Scale RC Modeling is a great hobby. Perfecting the building skills, the flying skills, and enjoying the people that share in the hobby is what it is all about. Thanks again for sharing and good luck in the future.
Thanks for your feedback. Back in my 3D days, I remember mocking the Scale bunch flying boring turns all day with their overweight fragile contraptions. Then one of those guys challenged me to fly "just a perfect descending 360, try to make it look like a 1:1....". The rest is history!
@@darrenoliverio7259 Thanks for the feedback. In retrospect maybe I could cut to the flying quicker, but had too good a time that day and decided to let the whole vid run for posterity! Be well.
Fantastic model, love the valach engine, is it easy to tune?. I saw your build thread and it looks like the needles are in an awkward place. Appreciate your feedback. Cheers.
Hi Marino. The engine is practically set-and-forget, as long as you give it enough time on the bench to bed-in and achieve the proper tune. In the model, the needles are accessible through 2 small holes on the top of the cowl.
The plane is powered by a Valach 60cc, which suits the plane very well. A TorqPro70 would also work. 40cc is marginal in 4 Stroke (OS GF40, Saito FG40, NGH38 will be too weak IMHO).
Such a beautyful Aircraft an very good pilot

Good video!
Beautiful plane and what a beautiful flying field where are y'all at
Considering the description says Northern Greece, I’d say there in Northern Greece.
Skip to 2:50 if u want to see it fly.
Painful to watch the first 3 mins
But he did nice job

have a Zenoah 62 in my one sounds great 24x8 prop very scale cant go wrong with a zenoah
Did you use a 90 degree bend for the carburetor? I am considering a Z62 too.
YOU NEED TO FLY FATHER AWAY WE CAN STILL SEE THE AIRPLANE
😀😀

Thanks for your reply, I'm going with the same engine as my roto 35 fs is not enough power. Cheers and thankyou.
What model Valach are you using?
@@kmarshall100 The 60cc single.
What motor are you using
A Valach VM-60 single 4 stroke.
What size fs engine do you recommend?
