- In this video we construct the Top Flite P-40E Warhawk 60 size fuselage. We build based off the Top Flite manual and plans and making minor changes to better the experience where needed. So sit back relax and enjoy the video especially if you love building or have the Top Flite P40E Warhawk kit waiting for that build day.
Playing your video while working on my plane project!
Nice!
Love your videos very educational can't get enough
Thank you very much!
Love the long video! Great job!
Thank you not trying to make the videos this long but the nature of the build took over. Only after watching the video a few times I can see where I could have cut down some time. But oh well! The main Pont of my videos is to showcase the build and provide insight on it throughout my build journey.
Wow great progress looking really nice...
Thanks! I can't wait to get this in the air.
Grear video thank you! More warbirds please
Thanks a bunch
Brilliant, love your style.
Thank you very much. And thank you for watching.
That was a very long, and informative video. Great job on the fuse build. Lots of tips to be had throughout the video. Awesome! 👍👍🤙🤙
Yeah one of my longest video to date. After watching it I critique my video always and I now see where I could have cut down some areas.
@@BayonasRCWorld I like the longer videos though. 👍👍
very nice just started watching your videos an subscribed an glad I did you got me motivated to start one of my projects
Thank you for watching. Happy New Year to you and your family
You’re a building machine! Lotta progress, guess it’s just waiting around for landing gear. Standing by to the gear come in.
Yuppers!
so cool to see how this process is done. looks fun
Lots of fun!
Great video Mike. Happy New year to you and the family.
Thanks Andrew! And Happy New Year to you and your family as well. Be safe and hope 2022 is great to everyone.
What a great and informative video!
Great video! When do you think you'll have part 4 completed and will that include the covering? I also have a P-40 so I'm interested in seeing how to work around all the curves and create the camouflage color scheme. Thank you.
Still filming content for Part 4. Unfortunately still the frame up. Detailing and painting after glassing, primer, panel lines and rivets.
Try using thin copper wire, it will solder more easily.
Like the tail wheel mod.
Thank you. Frank's Model Aviation Workshop and I came up with the plan of using the Z bend method instead of the ball link. We both feel at ease knowing this will not pop off or fail.
Love the build and your skills but can not help but think that non removable/adjustable tail wheel is going to cause you possible probs and was a pita to do!
I don't think it will cause any issues to be honest. At the end of the day I at least know that my rudder is not being held by a plastic link that is connected to the tail wheel. There is a full control rod from servo to rudder and I feel safe now. The steerable tail wheel should it still break then I will just mod it to a retractable version.
Hey Mike, I have Topflite plans and templates but the 2 1/8" balsa pieces for main fuselage side that glues to the Lower fuse side I don't have,any ideas?
Great video. Thank you. It's motivating me to build one too. Are you going with the DLE 20RA or the Saito 4 Stroke I think you mentioned in an earlier video?
I'm partial to 4 strokes in this size warbird. My plan is to go with a YS F-120 or 140 four stroke, header only for that awesome sound.
Also, did you do anything special to modify the "wash out" or twist on the wing? I've read that the 60 size P-40 Gold series might be a bit prone to tip stall... but I don't have concrete information. I'm considering adding 1 or so degrees of additional washout on top of whatever washout the wing assembly tabs build in.
Thank you for watching. I originally wanted to go with a Saito FG21 4 stroke gas like in my TF Cessna 182 however I decided to go with a DLE20RA only because of price. This way I was able to purchase the Sierra P40 retracts. As far as washout I am just following the plans and the wing indence of 1/2deg. I am building the wing with the included washout created via the wing jig and ensuring that my jigs are always touching the building board especially during shetting.
@@BayonasRCWorld Thanks for the reply. Look forward to the next video and upcoming maiden flight!
@@2101Striper right on!
Where did you purchase that kit. I would like to build one.❤ !

Where did you get this kit? Top Flite kits aren't available anymore right?
Correct! Top Flite, Great Planes, Carl Goldberg are no longer making kits. However you can find these kits on Ebay and on RC Airplane groups on Facebook. SIG LTD is still in business and other kit Cutters.
@@BayonasRCWorld Right. Horizon Hobbies is no friends of the kit builder!
@@shelbyseelbach9568 nope! Sure not!
