Hello

I share with you my last vid from 2 weeks ago. This video was recorder after 4 packs in 7*C + wind and I almost lost feeling im my fingers :P

RCer woodies are great ,better than Align pro.

RCer Dragonus - Lame 3ding on wood and in f..ng cold (4 min 29 sec)

Battery compartment modification.

Deweyville Special built from an American Orline kit. 74" span with an Irvine 61 upfont.

The P-51 is hanging in my room. The paint wasn't as aluminum looking as I had wanted. I put some cheesy details in the cockpit lol. The plane is balanced but I hesitate to throw it in case its not as well balanced as I think....notice the Sharpie Gun ports? The prop was a 15$ add-on from my local hobby store that got shaved down to the correct scale. btw, pic_3 includes the fishing line used to hold it up.

Greetings all. I've been building and flying glow RC for several years and have ruined a few planes. So I decided to build a kit as a static display so I can keep it longer.

After reviewing a few of the posts here and looking at the electric powered builds, I decided to purchase the Guillow's "Giant" Corsair model 1004 kit from e-hobbyland.com for $55 shipped. The kit has many scale parts included and has very good plans imo. I'll post some pic of my completed not-so-scale P-51 guillow's build. I started it after crashing my greatplanes P-51 that I spent 6 months building and 2 weeks flying before the crash(so sad).

Here is the fuselage under construction. Some detail of the sliding canopy rails...the retractable tailwheel section looks like it will be tough...the plans have some example pictures but they are too low res to be usefull. I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew...

Fabio Marin AKA "Slope Addict" rebuilt this EPP P-38. I originally built two of them. I kept one and sold the other. It changed owners a few times and I managed to get it back in well used condition. It sat in my garage for a few years, Fabio recently gave it a new home and a much needed rebuild. He did a great job, and it was nice to fly it again. They are 1/12th scale at 52" 6062 airfoil.

Perhaps now the Langley has moved into the realm of quaint, but contraption seems to suit best.
My idea, was to put an Aerovator top wing on it !
Though expecting a stall, fitting to the front wing did produce a very quick one.
Fitting to the back one though, well, that had altogether a different result.
The front wing is now like a big canard, creating big lift right up there. The back wing is helping to laterally balance, but also producing lift. With the Aerovator top wing on top, it is behind the CG and seems to be pushing down, as well as having undercamber and tilt to produce lift !!!

The flight performance is very different (see original video) and I hope to get video of it tomorrow.
It's slower, it's steadier in the Y axis. But here's something of note...the turns increase in strength the longer the stick is held. A rapid left turn can be moved to a right turn over a couple of seconds, all the while being able to quit the change and do something else. This might make such an aircraft very comfortable for kids in houses. It's like an under input of control, the aircraft sorting out the missing info and giving plenty of room to the flyer.
Also, I carried on giving left stick and it decreased its turning circle til it was literally flying around me a foot away all around.

It's now pig ugly, but a prettier flyer.

Now that i've worked out a reliable video system again, I thought i'd upload a couple of videos of latest projects. Though alas there's no sound, it saves you listening to some music I like and you might not

First is the 4site, just mucking about in the backyard, throwing it upward vertically and such. It catches the wind near the end and can be seen to stop in the air.

Second is the Langley...something tried out today. The Langley is the Samuel Langley Aerodrome 'A', which, the Smithsonian formerly credited as being the first powered aircraft that could carry a person aloft. The key word there is 'could', it crashing on a very public showing just 6 days before the Wright brothers made history at Kitty Hawk. So how would something like this fly ? Had to find out !
I grabbed some plans with a Google search, used hotglue where wire bracings had been used in the original and made the whole thing in about 10 minutes. Bad idea, they always look horrible when built so quickly, but, after a surprising glide performance with CG at 75% back on the front wing, I decided to get it powered up with ITC gear. It flew better with the F-22 microjet wheels on, til the longish grass caught them, so they were removed. Front wings are at 12 degrees dihedral, rear ones at 6. Undercamber is an approximation of that seen in photos.
The video shows it without wheels, now a bit light at the front, but so much fun who cares
The little jig I do near the start is because that was my first ever powered aircraft hand catch
I'm sure the twin wing design can be furthered for indoor flying.

Here is my Easy Star

Here is my Twister.

Here is my Funjet before it's maiden flight.

I have been flying for exactly one year now and here are the planes I have in my hangar.

I saw someone I knew from here! I am SURE of it!... but I can't remember who it was at all!!! It was at Best Buy in Weatherford on Friday night.. Hope you see this and let me know. It's been driving me crazy that I can't remember the name.

I know... woulda been easier to go up and say hi and ask... but I'm a really shy person .. in person.

"It's all feedback loops!” the little one finally peeped up.
“I don't know if that is the whole story,” says I, “I think that the programmers have found some frequencies that stimulate and encourage the mirror neurons in our brains.”
“Mirror neurons? Aren't those the ones that help us be more empathetic? That help us put ourselves into another's shoes and see the world from their point of view? Hmm. Interesting.”
My friend was trying to sound skeptical, for the sake of discussion, Nothing like a good friendly argument to get the creative juices flowing.
“Actually, I have been thinking lately that the mirror neurons are what help us to think about anything that is not our Self. I think they are the ones that help us construct simulations, they are the basis of our problem solving skills. All scientific advancement comes out of the mirror neurons.”
“Dude, you are so full of crap. What have you been smoking?”
“Bear with me for a moment. The sense of self, the I, is a somewhat artificial construct of the individual human brain in its' attempt to make a model of the world that it can deal with. Just that a biochemical system can get so complex; that it can conceive of itself is a rather cool thought, but the bigger reality is that it is all an ecosystem, which includes of course not just other people, but our pets and houseplants and computers, and the infrastructure required to maintain it all.”
“Who can put that all inside their head at once?'
“No one. That's why we invented our computers to keep track of some more of the details. This is the Universe in the process of organizing itself.”
A delightful but short pause in the conversation allowed us to collect our thought.

completed modifying landing gear from taildrager to tricycle, got sick of rebending and fighting with the mounting blocks.

bought a .60 size alluminum leaf gear bracket, axels and bolted the to the belly with 1/8 ply inside....nice and strong now.

used a Du-Bro nose wheel strutt through the engine mount (nylon one with the locating holes for nose wheel) bent, broke, replaced and bent again for the wehll axel. had an issue with the wire being thicker at the axel and for some odd reason but a little sanding took care of that. strut held in place with 4 collets so it shouldn't move and the control arm linkage was a pain to install.......crossover from rudder servo to opposite side of fuse, penetrate down thru firewall and tank compartment leaving very tight control arm setup. works tho.

now just got to take it out flying.......getting cold.......
