The Dornier "Arrow"
Hi there guys, its me again.
The build season just started and our little thread has been a little quite lately, so its good that i just finished work on a smaler modell i didnt even had high hopes for before i started modding it. And now im a bit surprised how much i seem to like it. Im talking about my not so brand new Do335 from HobbyKing aka, Lan-Yu or Guan-Li. A kind of smalish, cheaper, 940mm Wingspan, Twin-engine Warbird.
I baught that one out of the liquidations articles from HK. After a little reading and some research i started modding it a little. So here a few Pictures of the finished Modell. Its not highspeed, still its a twinengine plane and it flys very nicely after the mod, If some of you guys wonder, no - it does not have retracts, the gear doors and everything are just for show, and to make it look a little bit nicer on the ground. one reason the flyingweight is a good 80g under 1kg. The whole thing flys with a 1300mAh highoutput 3s pack - if you dont go to hard on the throttle flighttimes are between 5-6 minutes, plus reserve - enjoy.
Its not perfect, i would like to change the props for example, to nice 3-bladers if possible,, but i havnt found the right once yet. The only thing i did after i took the pictures was to install the antennas for the Lichtenstein Radar these planes use to carry, turnning them into all-weather interceptors or nightfighters. Its totaly bad for transport but it looks even cooler with all the metall comming out of the wings.
If you guys want to learn more about the mod, what and how i did everything, check out my youtube channel under WarbirdFan66, have fun modding.
