    I appreciate your review. I have the airplane and have had a terrible time getting the wing screws to line up with the wing rod holes. At present, one wing is secured, one screw on the other side is now stripped and and the other one just doesn’t line up. I will try filling out the side one the hole as you suggested. The wings are tight and the spar dihedral is correct. Just somewhat stumped. I’ll let you know when I get it flying. Thanks again.

    Hi John Bobby here from Oklahoma, would you recommend mounting the receiver on the underside of the wing I saw that done in another video was curious of what you think ? This is my first float plane very excited any suggestions you have on this plane ?

    Great video. I had a heck of a time with the wing screw as well. Also my metal inserts are longer than yours and have no dihedral in them at all. Hope I didn't get a whooops we forgot part.

    Hello. Very good film you make about this nice plane ! Please can you tell me why. You give the secand Throtle Kabel. On aux 2. .....? I use a servo splinter Kabel two in one ..... the one side I give in to the receiver on Throtle ! ...... now the left motor is going to left side. And the right motor is going to right side .... is this ok...??

    They used poor elevator twin pushrod connection at the servo. Pushrods bind when moving so as to stress the servo gear post.Yes it does that!! Very bad for servo. We used triple connector as that in the Seagull Spaceman lolol (Spacewalker) which does eliminate pushrod binding where they exit the fuselage hull. A must do!!!🤔👍P.S. After applying the ☝️modification, the elevator servo never failed from stress of two rods pushed together to the servo throw after a year...and here's hoping Avios modified that☝️assembly in the USCG HU16 Albatross...Blue Skies and enjoy!!😎🇺🇲🇩🇪🇸🇰👍

    I've been interested in this one since it came out. Got mine a few days ago after receiving an automatic email that they were back in stock (US warehouse): out of stock again inside of three days. Thanks for the video. It's nice to see the assembly performed before doing it yourself, to limit mistakes, especially with the use of adhesive. I'm removing the external water rudder assembly (ugly non-scale feature) and placed in a safe place should it prove to be necessary, if/when it ever sees water. I much prefer flying off grass at a local field, performing touch and goes. The manual suggests 15% differential throttle so I've set up the radio for that. There is a great RUclips video on programming this on a Spectrum transmitter. Super easy. Hope to maiden in two days.

    Hi John,
    Just finished assembling mine, would like to know what size pack you used for the best flight time (brand, cells, and mah) also where your placement was...the battery compartment is huge! Lol. Im a true believer in not reinventing the wheel, so will take your advice quite literally. Thanks in advance. Btw, I've subscribed.

      @@JohnVHRC Well, I rewatched, and would you kindly advice me. I see you said you have glued on the keel and stab. But there are two screws, and it will be awesome to leave the tail detachable, to collapse all the plain to the native box for transporting. How do you think, is it technically viable? Or the tail will be too weak to fly?

    Spent the full day building mine, there were a few little pieces that needed some work/adjustments to make them fit but in all in went together quite well, I even managed to set up everything without having to ask my cousins help (Rchelibug) the only thing I can’t do is the differential thrust, I don’t think my Tx can do it properly🤦🏼‍♂️ it’s the newer Orange tx6i, I only came to ask if you had used differential on your setup but as I was typing this I heard you say you didn’t. And as your flight has been the best looking so far I presume you don’t really need it!? As that was going to be my next question lol. Any advice would be appreciated though 👍🏻

    • @JohnVHRC
      @JohnVHRC  5 лет назад +1

      I have no need for differential thrust, the only time Ive read you would need it, is if the wind is really strong, if the wind is that bad not sure Id be out flying in it, but thats me. I will probably try it anyway at some point. Advice, try the CG a little more nose heavy for the maiden.

    • @TheMuddatrucker
      @TheMuddatrucker 5 лет назад +1

      JohnVHRC Thanks 👍🏻😁 I’m going with what you say lol
      I’ve researched lots on the cg, I’m already using quite a heavy battery (graphene panther 4000mah) I think it’s at least 100g heavier than yours so chances are it’ll be on the nose heavy side first few flights, nothing worse than tail heavy I’ve already learnt that 😁 thanks again 👍🏻
