You get a like and a scribe just because of the cat in the cockpit. The amazing works not bad too!
LOL. Thank you!
We NEED more “Cat 🐈⬛ in the cockpit” I love it and your cat is an absolutely sweetheart 😊❤️
HAHA. Thanks! Yea she's a special one!
Another awesome build, Jonathan!
Awesome thank you!
Love to see a prop plane on your work bench. I know first hand and feel your pain when you don't get a build manual. I have a CARF 3 meter Extra 330LX and it also shows up with no manual and the real frustration is the firewall does not have the 2.5 degree offset in it, in stead it is flat but the cowl is made with the 2.5 degree offset. Pretty frustrating but thats how CARF does it. Great video buddy.
Oh dang! I feel your pain too from many miles away!😂😂. The joys!!!
A nice build for sure ,the owner should be well pleased
Thanks! Yea I think he will and is very happy!
another big Awesome build
Thanks!
Tail wheel steering pull wires, i use a spring on each. Just thread wire through the spring and crimp in place. It stretches so the wire still does the pull pull action. Spring contracts and holds wire shorter and contained
Understandable but on this strega there isn't much room on the plate and because of the Electron gear design there is so much movement I can't imagine a good spot to locate springs to work well.
@@thelightersideofrc over the existing pull pull cables, just a very light and long extention spring. Thread the pull pull cable through the centre of the spring. Or even a piece of elastic. So when there is slack it contains the bending and bowing of the slack cable. Hope this explains better what I was trying to image
Thanks!
Thanks so much Craig! I appreciate that!
Cant wait to see this fly!
😎
@@thelightersideofrc If you ever build a Tsunami i can provide the all the paint masks. Spent alot of time making accurate masks for the red paint scheme, and have them in digital format for adjusting the size with no quality loss
Getting there!! Progressing well. It is looking great!!
Thank you!
Fantastic work on this trick flaps servos, and I loved the servos plugs/connectors. 👏👏👏
Thanks Reinaldo!
Thought about getting this kit. After watching your struggles I think it's beyond my abilities. Will have to stick with my Top Flite one for now.
Overall not bad. The struggle was mainly the engine install.
@@thelightersideofrc true. That engine is so nice. Gonna beat up my TF one a bit more first, lol
That plane is going to be fast.
Oh Heck Yea!
Great work. Love the closed loop cable tie/heat shrink idea 👍
Thanks! 👍
Nice job Jon
Thanks Bill!
nice builds
man i like to see video of your personal fleet
Thanks! ☺
Loved Katie’s look as you put it on its wheels, when you said “how cool is that”….. not sure she shares your enthusiasm…..🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful build…👍🏻👍🏻
HAHA. Totally Hey Ian! 😂😂
Hi Jon ,
Really coming together , now !!
Looking sweet ,Sir!!
Cheers
Phil
Thanks 👍 Phil!
Trabajo increíble, muy impresionante!! felicitaciones!!
Gracias!
So many curious questions🤔, though at the same time, it's good to just sit, chill, watch and enjoy your progress, both the wins and the fails. (Without failures, winning has less value, of course winning the first time, saves alot of time)😏
Thanks for watching 😊
You DEFINITELY need to try the servo Rahman servo linkages/mounts it will change your life, no need to have massive servos like those either.
😎😊
Adrian, please explain the Rahman servo linkages/ mounts.
On a project build i had the fuselage 3D scanned so I can design, redesign & manipulate parts to see where conflicts might be. I know, my brain is weird, like complexity brings a sense of calmness to me🤷.
I also think it's great to see how you problem solve challenges. 🙂👍.
That sounds like a lot of complexity! If it works for you than it’s perfect 👍 😉
Yeah A, nice test pilot. Glad to see your fitting custom controls for the cat. Question, do you not run a screw threw the wood, pull it back out and then thin CA the treads you just made in the wood?
Thanks. Sometimes I will run the screw, remove and use thin ca. Sometimes drill the hole. CA to screw or hole or both and thread in screw. Treats threads and also locks screw well.
Simply amazed at the flap servo location. Seems absolutely ridiculous that it isn't simply mounted to a servo access like the aileron servo. Just screams "WHY".
Yea, 2 ways of looking at it. I agree with you and the other side is 1 less hatch.
if youre cat is a rc pilot ,then u know u youre a rc fanatic!!!
HAHA. Well Said!
Like your helper I have 2 of them creatures miniature beasts I sometimes I refer to them as...
HAHA. Thanks Timothy.
Amazing build ❤
Thank you! 😁
Wow what a beautiful build!, what do you expect the wing loading to be with such a large engine. I only ask because in 1998 I built a Cosmic Wind with a large single 100cc engine squeezed in. In short it flew great until I had a dead prop situation and it went into a stall at high speed (shocking) I managed to recover just before impact and hit the ground with only minor damage but after the experience I put a lighter engine in. Take great care on that maiden and good luck it's a great project!
Thanks! Not sure what the actual number is but it will be high. Much like a heavy corsair type scenario.
Don't put licktite on anything that is near plastic or touches plastic.. the locktite will make the plastic brittle.
Yes!
For $3,300 you'd think Carf would make things a touch easier. I've been looking at a couple of Carf planes and to be honest, I'm not sure I want to invest that sort of money for those sort of problems.
Some of the kits are easier and have great manuals. Some, not so much.
Sure would like to have seen how you got the flap servo installed a foot deep inside the wing. Specialty tools?
As mentioned. Stick your arm in there and screw it in. Easy Peasy!
Beautiful plane but a shame the control surface linkages are exposed considering the size of the plane. If Avios could do it with their Spitfire then surely Carf could have..
Only partially exposed, except elevators. Better than fully exposed!
I hope you charge by the hour instead of by the plane. That way the owners can go to the kit manufacturer and complain about their crappy non-existent manuals.
HAHA.
Half the fun of a Carf kit was always tossing their hardware in the bin and getting some good stuff to replace it with. At least the plane has its “rubbers”. For safety.
Haha. Lots of good stuff. Some stuff that makes you scratch your head but you eventually figure it out. Some stuff that goes in the “CARF” bin of spares.
i definitely don't understand why carf still producing kit with control horn outside the wing, it's ugly for that level of price i expect scale surface control as the real not very complicated to do so. Except that all the rest is very smooth thank to your excellent work, keep going my friend.....
Thank you!😊
I' watched Ur video and noticed the servo in the wing is wrong, not you but the design, the servo needed to be on the opposite side inside the wing and the servo horns to face same way swinging and torque from servo is more desirable, look and see it .
Not sure if your talking about the Aileron or Flap?
Do you think that the ROTO 130 FSi is an alternative to Kolm?
Sorry I don't know anything about that engine.
Now that you've messed with this for a bit. Would you think the Kolm 155 would be a better engine for this plane versus the 230?
Great question Jeff. The 155 would probably be a much easier install. The next strega video is a week from today. All about engine. It is TIGHT! Definitely a 2 person job. I don’t think I could physically install myself without a 2nd person. Maybe if I had an engine hoist 😂😂
@@thelightersideofrc I’m also thinking about the weight. It will be interesting to see how much tail weight you will have to add. It doesn’t look like there is room now in the tail for any batteries.
Why not feed the wire and connectors thru the wing into the fuselage like u would on other planes u built. I see u are feeding the wires and connectors outside the wing into the fuselage of the plane
Wing roots connect to eachother. So they have to feed into the fuse through the top side of the wing.
For what they charged for the airframe, you would think that a thumb drive would be included……with both English and photos of Everything that you have to do for completion of the bird. Like……it’s never been tested? Come on, it’s 2023 fer )*/))):/&-•$_*&$$ Safe! Hey Ray- WTF????? 😢😢😢😢😢
You would think! Now they have a Free published build series/manual.
