Another awesome video Jonathan.. So glad you did not let the missing elevator horn stop the build and you improvised and built a better horn and moved forward 👏🏻👏🏻.. your progress is amazing .. thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Jonathan for one Lesson on Servos amps and Setup . I just receive My Pike Prefect and will use that lesson plan on install new Light weight Servos. Jonathan you still #1 and Hope SKYMASTER start listening to you and Other builds that are not Happy with SKYMASTER. Peace Be With You an hope you are Ready for Snow, Bye. Greg of VanWert,Ohio
thanks for sharing!!! A lot of great tips! lol painting the inside of my Byron Sukhoi with that stone paint you have been using! looks fantastic!!! Thanks again! Dale
Thanks Sal. There has actually been an update from Skymaster but of course they didn't let anyone know about it. I got some pictures from a viewer. I will share them in the last video. I am more happy with my elevator setup than the new revised one from them. Also I did the plastic shield Discs incorrect and fix them in the last video.
Another brilliant video and update Jonathan thank you, this kit is incredible, beautiful. But then again I’m biased being from the uk and a massive fan of the arrows 🤩
Very interesting how you setup the servos for the elevator. I learn something from that. Always watch your video to see what I can learn from your build so that I can do better with my builds. Thanks
Great video Jonathan! I learn a new technique on every video. Your method of balancing the elevator servos in awesome. I never thought about bolting them down like you did. The Jeti servo balance feature I have used many times. For all your ball links I would put a washer on the bolt head side (nut side too if they are small) to prevent the link from coming completely off if the ball failed. But I am a "belt & suspenders" guy when it comes to RC builds.
Thanks Bert. On the metal ones if you look close there is a closed side and an open side that the ball was installed in. Put the closed side in and it will never come off. Plastic ones. Agreed. Different story. I ended up using balls on the ailerons due to angles. Covered in the next video. Washers installed 👍😉
Always inspiring, although I’ve only flown electric foamy jets, watching you is inspiring. In fact I am waiting for a 1/3rd scale ASG 29e that I have to do create a forward canopy hinge, similar to that on the real one. I have limited equipment, a Dremel, but it’ll get done. Watching you solve problems, that helps me work through mine. Excellent work!
Too bad about the “Normal canopy open other side” decal… “other” is misspelled. Picky, I know, but I notice little things like that. ;-) Fascinating build, as always. The elevator servo matching process was interesting.
8:38 looking at the Manual, is the tail pitch control surface in this model technically a 'stabilator', rather than either a stabilizer (as stated by the Manual) or an elevator? Looks like I'm wrong as you discuss L & R elevator servos at 12:30--or does the stabilator just need the torque of synchronised twin servos? Thanks for the brilliant history given in the video description.
I like your videos very interesting and informative I love seeing what the planes come out looking like. I saw a flight of this exact aircraft on Digital RC it's a beautiful flying aircraft
Well you definitely know how to program a radio!! Well beyond my skill level lol for me it would be like someone giving me the keys to a nuclear power station and saying just fire up reactor number 1 mate!!!

See how the shape of the light is not a symmetrical shape? The cutout is shaped perfectly to fit the light and the wires coming through the light. A dremel with a 1/8" carbide bit was used.
@@thelightersideofrc You should have told me to go clime a tree :) No idea why I left such troll comment after binge watching (almost) the entire built series haha
You don't need Loctite on nylocs; that is what the nylon is for. Lastly, hot tip from big aviation. if you use a washer that is larger than the diameter of the ball hiem joint, you will stop it from ever coming off.
I would have to agree the manuals suck or at least with my Skymaster Viper S it doesn't exist. I contacted Skymaster and they said they don't make a manual for my Viper S. All I got was CG location and control throws. I will be doing a few videos on this build because there is no manual.
I thought about that as an option. In this case they are connected but through the linkages. It all depends on what happens to the other servo. If one dies and goes limp then shouldn't be an issue. If it locks solid than the second probably won't over power it.
The giant whale tail is complete! Thanks very much for watching!
I am learning so much from these build videos. I am addicted to them.
Glad you are enjoying them!

Thanks David!😊
your videos, as always, a real lesson on assembling and building rc models. I'm waiting for the next videos!
Thank you very much! More to come!
Nice work on the elevator section!! came together very nicely. Look forward to the next videos

Thanks Dale! It's such a nice look hey! Thanks for watching!
Great work on the elevator. Im reliving building mine. I had no idea myself about the elevator plastic shield disks.

Great work on that tail section! My biggest plane is 60” but I always learn something from you building these big birds.

You are better than a manual so they don't need to make it better!

I believe it's called a Stabilator. Both servos work in symetry to move the entire surface.

Wish i could afford this lol
Save, save Save! 😎
What do you do for a living Jonathan? This is not your main Job? You are doing very well. Keep on building.👍😉
Thanks Thomas. I manage a construction company for my normal work.
Wow! , is that 1:3, 1:4. Scale? ,i Love the XXXL Mic, the silver one... I want that Mic !!! Awsome thx for showing big scaler !
Hello. Thanks for watching! The Hawk is a 1/3.75 scale Aircraft.

Off course it won't be seen ever buyt my OCD went 11+

Do a video on radios. Jeti vs powerbox vs JR……. I’m looking at a powerbox or jeti but I’ve been flying jr/Spektrum for 15 years.
Thanks Billy. Many have been asking for it. I have been holding off so I don't hurt any feeling but maybe it's time.
You don't need Loctite on nylocs; that is what the nylon is for. Lastly, hot tip from big aviation. if you use a washer that is larger than the diameter of the ball hiem joint, you will stop it from ever coming off.
If your bolts don't go through the nylon lock portion then you need loctite or longer bolts.
@@thelightersideofrc Get longer bolts?? 😆
Btw should say, I love your work mate.. Great to watch and you do a fantastic job....
How do you get the jeti to display the amps? Thanks
Only works with a CB. Have to go into system/display I believe. Change the clock to telemetry and cb amps.
@@thelightersideofrc Thank you for your reply. Love the videos you are doing awesome work.
Agreed, better manuals!
🙌
I would have to agree the manuals suck or at least with my Skymaster Viper S it doesn't exist. I contacted Skymaster and they said they don't make a manual for my Viper S. All I got was CG location and control throws. I will be doing a few videos on this build because there is no manual.
Sounds pretty typical
could it be better to connect the two elevator-servo-arms? If one failed, the other could make the job....
I thought about that as an option. In this case they are connected but through the linkages. It all depends on what happens to the other servo. If one dies and goes limp then shouldn't be an issue. If it locks solid than the second probably won't over power it.
