It has been a real pleasure to see this build. We flew locally yesterday, 2 mph air etc, so with this stable weather, so looking forward to see it's maiden flight. Smashing plane.
Lovely build! The color schemes you choose are always unexpectedly unique. I really like this one. At 337 grams, the dethermalizer may be a bit optimistic 😂 I hope to see it fly soon, but I think the weather has turned.
Nice mark I'm glad she is done I'm waiting in anticipation for your next build ,I hope your next 1 will be a model for the engines reviewed a few months back
That's a mighty handsome model! Looking forward to seeing the first test glides and flights. There's just one thing, though... You called the closed-loop control a 'push-pull' system, but that'd be something rigid; a closed-loop is just string or wire so it can only 'pull-pull'. 😁 (Yes, you're right; I've got way too much time on my hands.)
Thank you very much, really pleased you like it 😀 Yes you are absolutely correct, it is pull/pull, I keep calling it push pull for some crazy reason, hahahaha, thanks 😜
Nice one mark, I started on a kk Caprice last year , just at uncovered stage , I built a lot of kk kits in the seventies, my first balsa model was the kk pixie, nice 20 inch span rubber model,
Hi, thanks for the comment its a great point. With a model like this rc is not a guarantee to get out of a thermal, also, and probably more importantly I just fancied setting one up, I have plans for a much larger Wakefield rubber model and just wanted the experience before that build. Really pleased you enjoyed the build 😀
Surprised you didn't use a 1S lipoly battery for your rx. and servos, so apparently you need the nose weight of the 2/3rd AAA cells?. Looks like a nice model. I'm building a Tiger Moth, 0.049 glow Free Flight scratch build as a lighter electric RC model from the same plans repo. 21 years ago I built a Spirit of Yesteryear Satin Doll by Dave Platt. It's an RC model laser cut kit from Canada, and I'm figuring it's considerably heavier than your model even though it's largely stick built. There's a lot of 1/16" formers and a Balsa battery tray and hatch. I powered it with a 70 watt, 2212 1000 kV outrunner and a 1200 mAh, 2S battery. It's 3 channel RET and can be flown like a powered RC thermal hunter with the power at about 30%. It maintains level flight with a slight positive climb at that power level. Looking forward to your test flights.
You can get away withe just one cable pulling against a torsion spring - that's what DLGs use to save weight. My DLG is just under 250 with rx, vario, logger, 4 servos and a 1s lipo. ruclips.net/video/7x3uslDnmxA/видео.htmlsi=j0-GrbYM9_wa_dYo
Yet again you've pulled it out of the bag Mark. What a stunner. Very keen to see how she flies. Well done.
@@bobi2582 Thank you very much, pleased you like it 😀
Super job! I learned a few things watching this build and hope to start something similar this winter. Cheers, and hope it flies well!
Thank you very much 😀

Sounds great!
Stunning finish ❤
Thank you! 😊

Why a detheralizer when U have RC ?
Stunning build ! enjoy the FLYING !
