Nice job as always mate ,you defo need to invest in a band saw will save you loads of time,from all ya builds I've watched ,keep em coming

Hi i have a os Max FP 40 with a broken fuel needle acecembly and i cant fins one online any tips? (Sorry for bad writting i am from Sweden)

I commned you on servo tray ,but all that mesuring etc id rather just stick to the plan or come up with something a lot less complicated

Nice very nice

Nice flying she is a weapon

I installed a DLE 20 with a Pitts wrap around muffler in a Top Flite .60 P-51 using the 688 mounts. My next project is a Hanger 9 Christen Eagle with a DLE 20RA, I would have purchased the same 688 mounts if I didn't watch your video. The 682 is great info and now I know I also have a choice with the Miracle Hobby for a 20CC. Thank You.

Pilot? please

I always enjoy watching you work James, I like your craftmanship. Greetings form Greece

mount your pump to the can... take a piece of 1/4 ply.. cut a piece, mount the pump.. cut a slot in each end.. then use a small ratchet strap to strap it to the can.. then you can eliminate the plugging and un-pluging the lines.. just fuel and then plug the plane end in the cap.. less connections.. less to do.. less chance of leaks and contamination.. and you carry it all with one handle... i use a similar setup with a 2.5 gallon and an electric pump.. use a lipo to power it.. carry it all on board the can.. only have to charge every few months..

I'm glad to see someone who still likes to build balsa kits and use glow or gas engines!! This is what the hobby was truly about back in the day!!

James - thanks so much for all of your videos, I know they take time to make. Really well done. They are very helpful; I'm picking up some good building techniques.

How hard to install and remove the wing? Thinking of doing this kit, but it won’t fit in my car unless I take off the wing every time I go to the field. Is that realistic with this plane?

hey sir where i get old rc model ans remote in cheap rate

ottimo video, e' un piacere guardare il tuo lavoro e credo che sia una grande soddisfazione anche per te, sapere che sono di grande utilita'

Well James, building good planes takes time, same way that making good videos does. As a noob I can tell you that you are doing a great job at both - and it is appreciated.

Great job. I really appreciate your build videos. I always learn something or how to do something better. I appreciate the hours you spend making these.

You can always wrap a wet cloth around the control horn to help with heat. Also I would use blue lock tight over the jam nut

Excellent work. Really appreciate your videos!

Du-bro (doo-bro) I have never heard it pronounced duhbro. I guess it works. Beautiful plane! I am applying many of your building techniques to my Cloud Clipper 71! No base (bass) wood though! Hahaha! Keep on keeping on!

I didn't follow the logic behind having the second clunk for fuel evacuation/filling. Why is it better than just using the carb line?

Hey James, i have been enjoying watching your build videos and many times watching each one several times. I like how you deviate from the plans to fit this build making it better. Your covering skills are great! I can't wait to see you flying! BTW: i like hearing you narrating as you build..it makes for a bit longer, but you're giving valuable information as you go.

Hi. Really enjoy your channel and all your tips and methods. Being a new builder, it really has been a big help! Thanks!

Hole needs to be #7 for 14-20 not 1/4".

Maybe i should try monocote again. You make it look easy.

I was sorry to see the Smoothie was crashed. You did a wonderfull job building it. It was a great looking airplane, but it s a hot flyer. Too much airplane for me. This is another build I'm enjoying watching! 😊

I like the two wing servos. You did a great job!

I've really been enjoying thid build. I like the detail you put into making the plane look so good. You do a great job with monocote.

Fred Reese designed one or both of these models. The best build I have ever had was a plans built Buttercup! Cox .049 up front and it was pretty zippy for a high wing!

Great tip about using wood glue and CA in combination for large areas. Building a BUSA Excalibur and your build is very helpful. Thanks!

How should I do it if the wing is tapered

Did you ever build this?

Looks like a great repair job to me. Been enjoying watching you work! 😂

Someone mentioned fuel proofing the engine compartment, do you think that's necessary with the film and expoxy that was used? If it were glow, I surely would, but gasolene???

Well I am just enjoying the heck out of this series, James. Your camera/editting work is a real bonus too. I am pondering a plans built Super Sportster off Outerzone… and so much of this kit stuff is applicable to the stick builds. I personally don’t care about vid length…I am on my second pass through the series. There’s so much to learn… and seeing it done beats the hell out of the manuals every time. Really appreciate the DLE tutorials too. 100 thumbs up!👍

The noise, the smell, the mess. I love electric.

Great job. Very well done.

Great video and will help me repair my crashed wing on my P51. Many thanks for sharing this.

James, I've just found this build series currently on no.11. What factors made you pick the stingray over the smoothie xl?

Nice instruction video. I am about to buy a NGH 17cc or DLE20 cc, but I am curious how the DLE20 is doing after a year of flying. I read different stories about the NGHs, mostly good. But sometimes I read cracked pieces coming out of the motor. The DL20 quality looks better. Can you give a little update how the DLE20 is doing till now. Is it reliable? Does it perform well? Thanks in advance.

Nice job mate really enjoyed it, thanks 🤙🤙🤙

Well done. I do like the narration on the video. I really like using golden rods but have never used the rubber stops. I always scuff up the outer blue portion and then glue them as they pass through bulkheads or supports. Lots of ways to skin a cat I suppose. Can’t wait to see this thing fly.

Very helpful great video

like the video but don't need the commuter music

Hey james ...so much better without the music ..much better tutorial without it . Great job ! And thanks for all your hard work ..

computer music NO please

The format of your video is very good. Specially for beginners. It depends on who the audience is. Some people are new to the hobby and in that case they can benefit from a narrated format. Thanks for taking the time to teach.

I’ll now change my throttle & choke set-up method! Thank you for an informative video 🙂

Hi James when you start setting servos in it means you coming down the pike of finish line 😊. When I run the threaded rod into the inner rod I chuck the unthreaded into the drill and run it in & out of the inner rod makes it easy peasy also doesn't mar up the inner rod holding it. Lite winds and smooth landings.

Great video! We all learn together thank you.

Good job James!
