    Sir I have 64 mm 12 blades EDF 3500 kV can its thrust is enough to fly jet with complete parts total weight 1kg I have 3s lipo battery can jet fly well

      @Thercgeek  4 года назад +1

      Unfortunately, I don’t have a good sense of the 64mm fans, so it’s hard for me to say. If you can run 4s, you’ll probably be better off.

      Mehmood khan that 3500kv is for 4s set up i believe is from freewing 64mm f22 on 4s version.almost same kv on fms f15 64mm running on 4s.

    Hello. I own a Carbon Cub S (version 2) without the GPS and I have flown it a few times. I was thinking of a second airplane to introduce myself in the 4S and NX8 transmitter world. As you can imagine I am not an expert flying RX planes, on the contrary I am a newbie on this. Would you recommend the EC-1500 as a second plane or would you provide another type of advice? Thanks a lot for the help.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  3 года назад

      If you’re proficient with the carbon cub s I think you’ll do fine with the ec1500. I’d recommend maybe having a club mate help out on the first flight or two just in case. It’s a fun airplane and the drop door is pretty fun.

      EPO foam is extremely resilient to solvents, so you can use most any type of paint medium on it.

      @Thercgeek  3 года назад

      Learning to fly rc takes practice, but is a fun and rewarding hobby. I’d recommend seeking out a local rc club near you and reaching out to them. They usually have club trainers and instructors who can give you an introduction to it all and help you get start on the right foot.

    Love your videos and appreciate the work you do to make your downloads available. I have just added this model to my hangar and I have to say it is a beauty just the way it comes out of the box and I am anxious to get it out for it's maiden however I do have to take issue with the manual. Sadly this has become the norm for all model manuals, there's way too much critical info missing for example I only know the elevator servo is inside the tail because you said so in the video and looking inside the fuselage with the cargo hatch open I can see servo leads in the overhead but where the heck is it and what happens if it fails? Any thoughts on this? Thanks

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  4 года назад

      That is a good question. I’ve not actually tried to locate that servo come think of it. I’m not sure where the access is. Is it at the base of the dorsal?

    • @garyjohnson2022
      @garyjohnson2022 4 года назад

      @@Thercgeek Thanks for the reply. I have located the servo I believe. There is a plastic access cover (same as on the nacelles) just forward of the Vert Stabilizer. I did not see it when I mounted the Vert Stab but under the front is a control rod running back and connecting to the elevator control tabs and at the front a servo control horn is partially visible.

      I’m not certain. Simplest thing is to use a ruler. You can also make marks on a post it not and use that also by sticking it where you need on the airplane to take measurements.
