You wont have to wait long ... we fit some scratch built floats in part 3 (coming soon)
Nice build beautiful looking twin Great video 👍
Thanks. She flies nice too.
Nice informative building video, great workshop and oh to have a laser cutter! Thanks..
Thanks. Yes, the laser certainly comes in handy
Great video as usual and a cool choice of T shirt too! RC planes and Alice Cooper - whats not to like!
We saw him live in concert in 2019 - he was awesome. You would never believe he was in his 70s
great work friend
Thanks
Cool video, discovered your channel recently and love the vids. Your attention to detail is amazing. Subbed :-)
Greetings from Germany
Thanks for your kind comments
Thanks for sharing this video with us, it was very helpful. I just finished the build on mine (i got the RCAF SAR version as I used to work on those planes in real life). You had so many great tips that helped me out a lot! One question, can you tell me where you got the 3 bladed props? I would like to convert mine to the 3 blade setup as well. Cheers!
The props came from my local model shop; www.stevewebb.co.uk/
Very Nice Video !
Thanks
love the incidence (decalage) gauge
Thanks. Very simple to make with some square Ally from B&Q
One thing I prefer to do re removing covering Isto use a solder iron, gentle heat to melt the plastic, without scoring/cutting the fibers of the wooden structure underneath
Great tip 😀
@@ScaleMeDown thanks. I have the VQ Monaro with ASP91FS, and VQ P40 Kittyhawk with YS F-91AC supercharged 4 stroke. Both are fantastic models for their price point. And Hello from little New Zealand
Hello Sir
really nice work and a great build series👍🏼
do you night have any STL files for the nose gear and the battery tray?
Hi. I drew an .stl file for the nosegear (send your email address to us on a message at our Facebook page). The battery tray, I drew and laser cut, so it is an .svg file. Do you have access to a laser cutter, or would you prefer us to cut one for you ?
@@ScaleMeDown whats you fb page?
If you pop ScaleMeDown into facebook it should come up straight away; facebook.com/scalemedown@@frconde0611
Please can you explain in detail how you fix the wires before and after into the wings and were you made the hole in the wings for the wires? Thank you
Hi. I solder up servo extensions so that they stay "fixed" forever (cannot come unplugged). You can see at 4:43 in the video where I drilled oles in the lower wing skins for the ESC wiring. It will be later overed by the nacelle mouldings.
Nice work👍,
Which material you are using for body building?
This model is built from mainly liteply with a little bit of balsa and vacuum formed mouldings. It is covered in a thick, self adhesive pre-printed film.
@@ScaleMeDown 👍
@@ScaleMeDown I am going to build an aircraft of the same size. I use foamsheet. Can you suggest a suitable motor for it.
The motors used in this model would be suitable for your project; Propdrive 35-36 910Kv@@anandhusatheesh1882
Great video, what motor and servos are you using?
The Motors are Propdrive 35-36 910Kv, and the servos are HS82MG and some smaller 9g metal gear ones.
@@ScaleMeDown what prop size are you using for the propdirve 35-36?
@@sandiesalimbangon5208 3 blade 9x7"
flap and aileron servos you used were micro...or mini class? what torque at 6 volts?
Just off the top of my head I dont remember - 17g analogues I think
Did you put anti-torque angle on the motors?
Personally, I put 5° external to each engine.
What do you think ? Should I stall the motors at 0°?
I set mine at 0 degrees, as when both are running normally, the torque is completely cancelled. In case of ESC failure etc, my method is to close the throttle, lower the nose and treat it the same way as an engine failure on a single engine
Hello, I live in the US. I would like to know where I can buy this kit, and if they deliver to the US, thank you very much
Hi. Good to hear from you. We live in the UK, where this kit is imported as 'VQ Models'. In other countries they are sometimes imported as 'Nexa' or 'Pichler'. Not sure where to get one in the US, but Motion RC might be a good start.
Genial video que tamaño de hélices y paso recomiendas usar con este avión ?
Hi they are 9x7" Master airscrew 3 blade propellers (one LH and one RH rotation)

Hello Sir, what engines did you use?
The Motors are Propdrive 35-36 910Kv
What size motor are you using? kv?
The Motors are Propdrive 35-36 910Kv
Anyone know if theres enough room for 2 fuel tanks and .40ish sized glow engines?
I think there should be. Should fly on a couple of .25 glow engines though
Disculpa me podrías regalar la medida en mm del diámetro del spinner de la hélice ?
Hi, they are 55mm. I drew my own and 3D printed a LH and a RH rotation
@@ScaleMeDown Thanks 🙏🏻👍🏻
@@ScaleMeDown Thank you very much for responding, they were great, great job.
only if it was a 90 inch wing span.
Absolutely ! This would be really good a bit bigger
wing alignment pins not fitting is bad...very bad from the factory
Yes. Thankfully, they don't require too much fettling. Mine were quite obvious as the internal doublers were slightly misaligned
captive blind-nuts getting glue in the threads from the factory...bad...
Yep, requires all the threads cleaning out with a tap.
