Aaaaaah now I see picture didn't load first time just the vid looks good John what was the original power train in it ??

That's downright scary. That's the one they should have called a Bee. I was worried your fingers were getting too slippery and it was gonna come sting me.

Now, get a shop rag and take it and the camera outside!

It's a Kyosho Minium so it is a 1s lipo with a geared motor swinging a HUGE 5+1/4 inch prop.
All up it's 30grams.
Putting the 010 in it will prob knock it up to 70 grams.
That's a big increase in wing loading.

Very Happy

An all up weight of 30g s&@t I've seen heavier bumble bees that is light but saying that the power output from the 010 has gotta be a big increase as well no ... Fly it fast fly it hard red bull air race styley Affraid or WOW!

Mounted up real nice John. Is that foam fuel safe?

**RknRusty** Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:17 am

Has it got some down thrust, or is it just the picture that looks like it? I know some planes need a bit of down to stabilize them.

Ron
Dunno I'm gonna find out.....
One thing's sure it ain't cyano safe
Very Happy

Rusty
Yep I started with me usual 2degs down
2 degs right.
Very Happy

Being that I'm tentatively gaining interest in RC, is that a standard RC starting point? Because in CL, I always add only outboard thrust. I do remember the PT-19 had a down thrust setting for beginners.

Careful Rusty it's a very slippery slope
Very Happy

Yes down thrust almost mandatory sometimes more
Than 5 degs.
Lack of downthrust is what you'll see at the field when
Guys open their throttles Rusty and the plane starts to
Climb markedly.

Ah yes, I remember from my only RC flight(actually I already knew it about full scale), that you control climb and descent with the throttle. I read a good article in Model Aviation about angle of attack and stalling. Then I got to comparing the stall of the main wing with stalling of the elevator, as can be so perilous in CL. Impossible to recover from on the downside of a loop if the wing stalls, maybe possible if the elevator stalls and you have the reflexes of a bat.
