ChExtra 330L Flight
Finally dialing in the no name Extra. Added a hatch for the battery and moved the rudder servo from exposed on the side to inside the fuselage. I tweaked the wings even more and the stall is much more manageable. Really is becoming a favorite plane to fly.

Not the most exciting flight. Testing another phone/camera setup. I was aimed a bit high and forgot to set it to 4k. Need to sort out a better way to aim it. Taking the hat off and checking each time is a bit unreliable. Also I said SunnySky in the video. I meant Turnigy SK3 4240 620kv
Deflatlon V2 Flight

After the Eflite comparison I decided to take the Deflatlon up for one last flight. Overall flies much better than V1. Super excited to finalize the plans and get some more of these out in the wild.

Here I do a little comparison with the Eflite Decathlon and my Deflatlon. Mainly focusing on eflites decision to use a flat bottom wing on an otherwise solid little plane.

Another flight of the Giant Aeromaster ARF electric conversion. Got a new cowl, added some trim, and found an original set of wheel pants for it. Looks much much better.
Eflite RJG Decathlon Flight 1
มุมมอง 8162 หลายเดือนก่อน
Second ever flight of the Eflite RJG Decathlon. First flight was on 3s and this was the first time using a 4s2200. Overall it flies nice. But inverted performance is seriously lacking because of the flat bottom wing they chose to use. Little bit of a let down. That is one of my favorite things about a true Decathlon with a semi symmetrical wing is inverted performance.

Some flights of the Aeromaster today. Still playing with camera settings. Autofocus was on and going crazy. Will keep experimenting.
Sig Kadet Mk2 Flight

Another flight of the Kadet Mk2 custom build. Testing another camera configuration. Autofocus is a bit of a mess so I need to sort that out and maybe turn it off next time. But overall I think the 2x zoom works fairly well.

Testing different cameras. Been trying to use a cell phone camera instead of the GoPro. Not as wide angle and in this video I tried 2x zoom. I lost it in frame in a few spots and the plane is a bit out of focus but overall I think it's better than the GoPro.

You did a Beautiful job. You are a modeler
We going to see a lilski verson of this?
Hah no I'm pretty happy with it as is for now. I will do a true scale Extra someday but this is fun for now. I'm mad I left it sit on the wall for 2 years. Should have put the hatch in sooner.
Where is the access for the battery. A pic would be great. Nice flyer.
You can take a look at the conversion thread over on RCG here. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3746459-Great-Planes-Super-Skybolt-kit-conversion
Gorgeous Mkll Awesome job. I like that idea of the landing gear. I will try that on my senior KADET that I’m building.
Where can one find the Deflatlon?
The hope is to have some kits made later this year.
So what its a great aircraft i found ,fly a edge if ya want neg
Or an actual Decathlon with the correct wing like the second half of the video?
-- If you'll kit this Decathlon, I'm maybe down for one! It's flying very nice, and keep full span ailerons with inboard flaperons, I do like to 3D.
-- Can you give a bit more info like: Wind Span(I do like 56", 1.2m=47" too small) Weight Wing Area Wing Loading Motor(power train) Price Thank you!
I didn't use full span ailerons or the flaps in this video but I have shown them in previous videos. The roll rate is pretty intense full wing mode and the flaps work really well. I went over V1 in detail in a previous video and this is pretty much the same. It's just 56" instead of 54" and 6.5oz lighter than V1. Wing area is around 540 sq.in. Flying weight is around 4lb which gives you 17 oz/sq.ft. Wing Cube Loading is around 8.8. Runs on a 4s3700 pack in this video with a SunnySky x3 3120 760kv motor, 12x8 prop, 80A ESC. I didn't design it around 3D flight but it can do some stuff. It's meant to be a sport plane.
Looks great and nice flight!
The tried and true Clark Y flat bottom airfoil generates a good amount of lift, from the top. Its main purpose being to be efficient, not really aerobatic especially in negative G. The reason the SIG Kadet is a good trainer is because of the flat bottom airfoil. Ailerons are not as effective as rudder and the original Kadet I learned to fly on in 1976 didn’t have ailerons. I find the semi symmetrical on high wing is the best choice for scale flight and aerobatics. One of the reasons the Citabria was good for aerobatics is they shifted the CG aft to make it snap and spin easier. Great videos. I really enjoy them
NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍
ZY Hobbies have amazingly cheap CF LG if you willing to wait a month or two for ordered items. I've got CF LG for my 91" J-Cub for ~$15, and 80CC CF LG for 18LB Aeroworks Python for $30, and 3.5" CF spinner for $35.
I built one of the original kits, not an ARF. Anyone have an idea where a set of plans could be found? I’ve been searching without success.
Sadly I sold an original kit not too long ago before I could get the plans scanned. I honestly didn't have much interest in the Aeromaster before I flew it. I'll ask the guy I sold it to and see if he can get them scanned.
@@LilSkiRC That would be really great. If you can get that on, I'll be more than happy to cover all the costs plus time and effort.
@@heeder777 I asked him and he said he was planning to have them scanned as well scanning the die cut parts. I don't know when he will do it but I'll see what I can do.
-- I watch this video again, this airplane nails "Avalanches" like nobody's business. Very nice. To a point, feels like most of modern pilots nowdays, don't even know how to Snap Roll - at all... This Aeromaster just excels at it.
I tend to fly more "scale" and "traditional" aerobatics. I did the 3D thing years ago and got over it. The avalanche is something I have been working on in general lately. I tend to do the snap a bit late so I'm working on the timing. Planes like this and the Decathlon are fun to do them with. Lots of the modern mono wing aerobats do very quick and tight snaps. I personally like a big flared out snap. I like the challenge of a big and sometimes slow snap, and ending it cleanly.
Aaabsolutly Beautiful !!! Awsum Job Dude !!! 😉🙃😎
Nice flying mate, is she easy to fly ,i. Looking to build a 1 in kit form is it intermediate or advance flyer??
It basically flies like a big trainer.
@@LilSkiRC got to get 1 my grandfather had 1 have pic taken over 30 years ago, on my bucket list, safe flights 🤙🤙🤙
@@homienat3374That’s when I built mine. I could pass for a grandfather but I’m not. These kits are hard to find. You can come across an ARF but they are way overpriced. It’s really a great aircraft. Hopefully through LilSki we might be able to put together a set of plans. If not I’m considering scaling up a Super Aeromaster set of plans. Hopefully you will be able to check this off your bucket list!
As always, its great to see the work you do on these posted in the THP discord server. I appreciate your attention to detail!
fantastic creation
👍🏿
Those checkers on tail looks really cool!
That's what it originally came with. But I tried to remove wrinkles from the rudder and they all shriveled up to nothing. So when I got the new cowl I decided to try the checker pattern on it and also restore them on the rudder. Overall it looks much better but I think it needs more trim.
-- Hey, I wonder how thick is Aeromaster airfoil? If you don't mind me to ask?
Looks to be around 2" thick.
Oddly I was just thinking about scratch building this aircraft for electric. I'm starting to believe that TH-cam can read minds. I built the original kit with a 35 cc engine back when the kit first came out. Great kit. Now I see your proof of concept I'm going to pursue that. Thanks for sharing and I'll be following you for more info and progress.
Just try to keep the tail light. The original kit uses a ton of sheet balsa compared to the open framework of this ARF version.
-- Wow this thing is a true Snap-Roll machine, just like Pitts bipes should be!
-- Wow this thing looks and flies great in the sky. How does this thing Knife Edges? I just got Aeroworks Pitts Python, so that is how I came across your video. More flats spins and tumbles please, as they does looks incredible on this "slow-mo" biplane! -- Don't sweat about cowling, I kinda had the same situation on 91" J-3 Cub, the only option available at this point was Balsa USA ABS halfs for $15 with similar gaps to fuse "dilemma", but its kinda grows on you, always reminds me a full scale cowl, that moves "loosie-goosie" in opposite direction at engine starting, also more way for engine cooling air to escape...
-- BTW, raw comments while you flying much appreciated.
It flies knife edge really well except I need to do something about the hatch. I had it pop up while doing one the other day so I might have to add a mechanical latch to make sure it stays on. As far as the cowl I've already redone it and got an original set of wheel pants for it.

@@LilSkiRC -- Nice, subscribed, btw! I love the way your bipe flies, Python have a very thin and aggressive airfoil, your is a lot more docile looks more scale and less drama.
Sweet! If I understand you're flying that on 8s currently???? You'll really be happy on 10s! I've had good luck with both HRB and Ovonic 5 cell batteries for my H9 RV4.
12s4k on flight one and 12s5k on flight two.
Your Skybolt is beautiful.
Your the man thanks again for your info on rcgroups to identify this plane. Excellent video.
Nice flight, nice landing, nice plane.
Really enjoying ya vids mate ,i like the way you talk to us while ya fly 🤙🤙🤙
Nice plane, and flying mate im looking for 1 myself, id would have kept it nitro but .
Can't fly gas or nitro here.
Nice flight! I haven't assembled mine yet. Maybe it's time but it would be safer remaining in the box. 😂
I have a built one with a Fuji 43ei which I’ve been considering converting to electric. After watching this I see another project in my future. The plane is a sleeper looks like a great barnstormer but it is completely capable of aerobatics & does them amazingly well.
Awsum plane !!! Great conversion and flights !!! 😉😎
Good morning friend, how are you? I hope so, could you share the file so I can create one like it?
A1 Job pilot in Command. Have one myself. Beautiful Bird at that favorite of my , 628 R/C aircraft. Great Job. Arrgh . Keep um flying, AKA Capt Morgan.
That would be a lot of fun with a nice FPV system with a 2 axis gimbal to put you inside the plane
I love how you fly. I saw a few things I'm going to copy this season. Biplanes are my favorite and this one is on my list. Thanks for the great video and thanks for sharing your setup.
I took my Kadet MKII (that I learned on) out of 30 years of storage a couple of years ago...some hangar rash but it flew! Your video I think inspires me to give it some TLC, convert to electric, and recover for sentimental reasons. Yours looks fantastic...Thanks!
If you check out my previous video on the Kadet I went over all the changes that were done and I show the hatch setup.
Good video. I was glad to see the hatch. I'm converting a Carl Goldberg ultimate to electric. The upper wing struts are right there. So I'm discarding the plastic cowl completely and rebuilding the front end with the shape of the cowl and making a long battery hatch in the front. Nice flight, nice commentary.
I just got the new fiberglass cowl for the Aeromaster and oddly enough I also ordered a cowl and canopy for the CG Ultimate. After the 1/4 Decathlon I want to update and build an Ultimate. My plan is to turn turn the entire top deck into a hatch including the canopy. That should allow enough space to put the pack all the way to the firewall should it need to be.
Flew my 1st Kadet 40 years ago. This one looks and flys great. Congrats on the build!
Cool idea I've been thinking about converting some of my old glow powered planes to electric!
Dont do it mate ,us nitro men must keep it rolling 😅
hi how is going dude 😊😊 so I have twinstar hobbico i wanna to converte it to electric so which brushless motor you recommend me to buy for it ???
I personally have not done any twins yet so that's a bit outside of my scope at the moment. But I highly suggest the website ecalc.ch. It is worth a few $$ for the subscription. It is what I use to spec all my setups including this one. It's been spot on every time.
There's an old review on RCGroups for the 56" WS version. Search: Hobbico Twinstar II ARF Review
Best looking Kadet ever. You did such a great job.
Hey. I really enjoyed your video. That's still low kv for that setup. You can run a 15 x 10 no problem. I run 15 x 6/8 props on 550kv and 570kv making big power on aerobatic monoplanes at 6 pounds. I grew up flying that plane on glow. I'm 47 now and Still like the oldies too. Great video
Don't know if I mentioned it but 15x10 is the prop that is on it. I have started to push more kv on some planes. The Decathlon 40 runs 560kv and is a bit of a screamer. I'm pretty happy how the Skybolt flies. Much more power than the old .61 and I'm sure that old air frame enjoys less vibration.
@LilSkiRC in your video you mentioned that it was 15 inch prop but I didn't catch what pitch if you did mentioned it but great that's what you're looking for anyhow. I was going to purchase a lower kv motor myself and try with the same setup as you on a lighter airframe. I'm currently running sunnysky and scorpion motors. I've tried a few cheaper motors lately with great results. Cheers
fabulous planes, the MkII was my first airplane
Great video! ! ! !
And nice Kavalier as well, do you use a special head mount for the camera?
I have a hat that has a gopro mount on it. With the this and earlier videos I was using a gopro 8 with the most narrow view field it supports. Recently though I experimented with a cell phone mount that attaches to the gopro mount on the hat. In general the phone has less fish-eye and also can do 2x zoom. I tried the 2x zoom on the latest video of the Deflatlon. Not perfect but works pretty well. This video was the first cell phone test at 1x with the Deflatlon. th-cam.com/video/wRJd1FX7i0s/w-d-xo.html
Wow, great looking build!
Great kit bash!
I have one of these new in box, had one years and years ago when I build this oneI will also make it a tail dragger
Yeah it's a super simple conversion and really transforms the plane into something really sporty. Just move the vertical tail back, split the elevator, and move the gear forward. I may make larger tail feathers for it at some point. I did that on my recent Kadet build and I really like the extra tail authority.
Some epic flying! It sounds so good and cuts fantastic lines on 6S. I'm definitely gonna get my OP 8S version onto 6S now. Thanks for your replies on the RCVR video.
