150% MSBP. Mini Scout Biplane, Not so Mini!

[Wildthing]

There is a drawback of course, fuel mileage is less

 

[The Hangar]

Half the price too!

if ever you replace the bearings in a motor and not sure if they are fully seated this is one way to guarantee it. Also as it says in the description. If you know your batteries are really low GO HOME don't try for just one more

Holy Cow, I did not see that coming! I'm glad you got it back and got things figured out. That was as scary as it was funny! How bad was the damage? Got pictures?

It looks like it had a hard day at work lol time for a new build.

Even after hitting a brick wall head on my lexan firewall is still fine. Although I drove it few inches back lol

Awww man! You broke a prop! That's a big 'ol ouch she's got. That was a heck of a hit!

Not surprising. Those things last forever. "Nearly indestructible" is an apt description. I'm still using the ones you sent to me.

OMG I can't stop laughing the end was hilarious .

Oh that was funny, sorry for laughing. , well maybe not

Ok, 1st we need some color period, even cheap wingtape will do. 2nd, stay closer to home. 3rd, if those motors can't spin the 10" props you need different motors. With 3 10" props you should be able to fly against a hurricane.

Oh, if it sounds bad, that is not normal, land it and figure out what is wrong, not just keep flying
Gun oil is a really good lubricant for the bearings

I was going to say the same. If something isn't right you don't just keep flying and hope nothing bad happens , like I do :/.

Well atleast he only broke 1 prop not all 3.

With your camera, try turning off the auto focus

 

[sundown57]

ok, ill try it. I'm surprised as hard as it hit it didn't break the skewers holding the wing motors. Or rip the top wing off.

I finally got to maiden the darn thing! It did not disappoint. My skills are rusty, but that plane flies really well!

What guess who’s back?! Hey buzz happy to see you back to post and reply . Any how great fly especially that low fast pass .

 

[sundown57]

I really like the MSBP at 150%. Not only does it fly well it looks impressive in the sky. Also, you have finally answered the age-old question. ( does a sim help you learn to fly ) ?

That is a good question...

I had a chance to take her out again. I'm pretty rusty, and the wind was picking up. She handled it like a champ, though.

Damage was severe, but repairable. I separated one side of the bottom wing at the root, broke up both wing supports and broke a firewall and powerpod. She'll be in the air again, for sure.

@BATTLEAXE wanted to see the planes before take off (and presumably ruin ) so I didn't crop the beginning of the vid like I usually do. I'll try to remember that on future builds as well.

Hey @buzzbomb happy to see you out again great video. Not bad considering you haven’t flown since November?! How are you? How is your son doing?

Thanks man. It's all good. Still weak but I'm back at work, albeit in a different position. Danny is doing great. He's graduated Basic and is officially a U.S. Army Cavalry Scout. He's been at his home base for a while now, they're still waiting to deploy. The pandemic is complicating things.

She's done so much. She's been so much. I'm afraid that she is done. It's worse than it looks.

That was the last warping that the frame could handle. It's gone from the front to the back. She's not RIP. I'll salvage parts, but she's going up on a wall!
