The big bang of Mustangs

[The Hangar]

Or you could do what @The Hangar does and hire a beaver to chew out your pieces for you

 

[ScratchBuildMast]

Hey @ScratchBuildMast have you heard of Iron Edges?

No, whats that?

 

[BATTLEAXE]

No, whats that?

Might be something you are interested in, check it out...

It's a series of three short vids but I figured since you like to build a lot you might benefit from it. Each vid will put you into the next in the end screen.

I do have a thread called Quick Tips you could do some research in as well, some good stuff in there you might like

It's the canopy for the foamboard one. It replaces the paper pieces.

Oh, sorry. My phone didn’t load the whole thing so all I saw was the P-51 part...

Blame the electronics, typical Hangar

I printed out the pieces last night but it turns out they are for a mini stang Will still be building a regular sized mustang this weekend, though it won't have a 3d printed canopy.

Would it work out if you just scale the parts up in the Slicing software?

Yes, but at that size the filament becomes the most expensive piece of the plane

Built the mustang body last night.... My wings are WAY too small..

Are you going to try scaling them up a bit? What size did you print them at?

I will scale them up. I printed them at 125%. Will probably do 150% - 200%

Well i got lines

today I went out with the big mustang, the result has been disappointing it costs a lot to go straight after several strokes
so come to retire and return to the mini scale trying the new Grifflyer
R.I.P.

Did you figure out what happened that it didn't fly like expected?

Here's a little bit of yesterdays flying and todays flight.

Wow man your plane looks stunning .

Some build and finished pics of my full size. Speed wing, flaps, airfoiled tail, removable canopy for access to the electronics. Propdrive 2836 2200KV with a 7X5.5 prop with 60 amp ESC and 4s batterys. 85 MPH

OK WOW! That is beautiful!

I put my servos under the rear canopy. @Sero I like the foamboard canopy you did! And btw, I'm using 9g servos on the tail and ailerons, plus a 1500mah 2s or 1000mah 3s (they both weigh the same.)

How the hell do you fit in the 3S 1000mah battery I couldn't make it fit .

My Christmas gift finally showed up this should make cutting out planes a little faster. Its a cnc needle cutter so no more tracing out paper templates.

So lucky I wanted one but Edward couldn't ship to Israel and I spent my birthday money on more motors, ESCs, batteries and Rxs .

I was looking at that and I think I screwed up , brain fade, I think it is double of what it is suppose to be. It's not getting changed now so we will see how it flies.

I usually just shim the motor with gift cards to get the different angles. Also shimming works better if you configure the mounting holes in a X pattern rather than the + pattern that FT uses on their power pods. This doesn't apply to the minis, too small for the above IMO.

Mustair - I like it!

Mustair it is. But I have a comment, either you are rushing the cuts and trying to do it in one swipe or you need some sharper blades, or both Even with my sharp blade I will take 2 to 3 passes to complete the cut .

+1. Totally agree.

I like mustair😂 it reminds me of something that "must" be in the "air".😉

, same thought .

I always do at least two passes...

Small step closer, controls are now all in and hatch is complete with magnets. With the weather I am in no rush plus now with the new Jumper T16, I am waiting on 2 different orders of 6 ch rx's , kind of nice not being locked into one protocol . 3 of each coming, $10.00 each delivered

I am getting the itch for a warbird again. If this supposed Spit doesn't come in the next couple weeks there might be a standard mustang on the list
