Here is my maiden already a couple days ago:


Make sure to also watch the bixler sunset video wich I shot on the same evening but my flying is much smoother there.

Rats- I kind of thought it might not :(
It worked for me last night at home but isn't working here (at work)

It went kinda like this waaaaaaah- then it was like swoooooosh and then we were all like Yaaaaay ;)

I bounced a couple o' take offs while I was getting it trimmed for him (maybe I can get those to work) but he did great.

Here's Zach's plane-

And me bouncing it a couple of times before I had the trims set right (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)

Is this a maiden?

I built a MS Composit Swift and today we took her out
All I can say is well....Yep not all maidens go so well :rolleyes:
Will have to try to figure what is wrong but we gave it the ole college try :black_eyed:

does this count remaiden of my Swift

Finally got the CG correct on my Swift and repaired the a small bend in the wing and vola. A fun plane to fly however I thinkmy power set up is a bit weak and could use a sugestion for a little more speed. So if you own feel free to give me a link or tell me what your power set up is
Enjoy Oh and hold on to your lunch its a roller coaster

Bonze-
I haven't ever flown a swift but the 32 inch wings we fly do well with a fc2812 motor and a 1300mah 3s battery and 7x6 apc clone prop.

These little motors can be had from HobbyKing for about six bucks when they are in stock.
PlaneInsaneRC.com and HeadsupRC.com (both in the states) also keep them in stock for around 10 bucks...
We love these little motors. They can be rewound if you manage to smoke one.
Do good strain relief on the motor leads and locktite the mounting screws and it helps a bunch.
It'll take a 21 oz plane straight up. Not unlimited, but good vertical performance

Hi Guys

This is my first post and I thought this might be of interest. This video is the maiden of a Vickers SuperVC10. It was unpainted and first flight was good. I then painted it and tried to launch from a bungee, and splat. She's now back together again and ready for 3rd flight. Full build can be seen at http://www.rckeith.co.uk/vc-10.html

Nice Plane! Cool four engines! Hmm second flight it did not look like the bungee had any effect at all as if it did not even release. Have you made the third flight yet?

And Welcome to the forum!
