Maiden flight went well! Sorry guys, no video, I had a small break in the weather and jumped. It was still windier than I’d like for a maiden, 12 - 15mph but at least it was blowing in the right direction! I only put one pack through her but she tracks great and looks good doing it. Couple clicks of down trim and she flew straight even in the gusts. Great plane, Nic! Thanks! can’t wait to get decent weather to really get her going!

That’s awesome, enjoy!

Here's my mini spitfire. 85% size of provided plans. I used some new techniques, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome, I modified hatch a bit, it's shorter and slides vertically and holds on 2 magnets. Added aluminium spar, modified speed wing to underchamber, put elevator steering like in hien and added doublers in fuse. I'm using XPS so I had to mod it. Everything is covered with packing tape (that's why it's red) and fuse box is made by 2x 45° bevels. I decided to go without rudder as nic said it's not effective due to long fuse. Elevator halves are connected with wire to reduce weight. AUW is 255g with 1100mAh 3s lipo.

Hi
About to build this,looks fairly flat.
Has it got any dihedral,if so, how much?
Was thinking if it doesn’t have any,might add some like FT did with their spit using a dihedral spar?
Forgot to mention only want it running at scale speed so not going to use basswood or aluminium spar,just a foam one.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks

It has dihedral. Use basswood template to adjust it and add spar even if you don't want to go for fast setup, trust me, it helps a lot. Just use a piece of aluminium and bend it with pliers to angle of basswood spar template, cut out long and narrow holes in both wing halves, then glue it in.
If you want to use basic setup I think you should consider modifying wing to classic FT undercamber.
Check out my build (last build in this thread), especially photos No.3, 4 and 5. I'm pretty sure it'll help you

Ok Thanks
Will give it a try
Not sure what you mean by classic FT undercamber?

Nic designed fully shaped wings and called it speedwing. It's good but doesn't like low speed, so you may need to redesign it a bit. Check out my build once again and take a look at wing halves - top half is full and bottom only reaches where nic put bevel indicating lines. If you made something designed by FT crew like eg. Mustang or spitfire you'll understand. This wing profile requires less skill and work and handles way better when flying slow but it has more drag than speedwing so you can't achieve very high speed if you put it on your plane, but it's not bad if speed isn't your goal

When I built mine all I could find a video for was the speedwing. Most of his planes seem to have the same features so I watched a build video for one of his other planes , I think it was the P-39 , and kinda figured it out from there. Made one mistake , I closed up my turtledeck before installing the servos and pushrods for the elevator and rudder, so I ended up mounting them on the outside instead of inside the fuselage. I'll attach pics of it here . It was a good build, solid plane and I agree with Jake that the speedwing doesn't like to go slow,
like the FT models. Good luck with the build!

[QUOTE = "Ratcheeroo, publicación: 645784, miembro: 53771"] Cuando construí el mío, todo lo que pude encontrar un video fue el speedwing. La mayoría de sus aviones parecen tener las mismas características, así que vi un video de construcción para uno de sus otros aviones, creo que era el P-39, y lo descubrí a partir de ahí. Cometí un error, cerré mi turtledeck antes de instalar los servos y las varillas de empuje para el elevador y el timón, así que terminé montándolos en el exterior en el lugar de dentro del fuselaje. Adjuntaré fotos aquí. Era una buena construcción, un plano sólido y estoy de acuerdo con Jake en que al speedwing no le gusta ir lento,
como los modelos FT. ¡Buena suerte con la construcción! [/ CITA]

Hello everybody. Which motor to take if my 4S battery delivers up to 35A. The build will be 21700 4s1p. Is the 2306 1700kv motor suitable for speeds up to 120kph?
