  • Hangar 9 has produced a nice sized F6F Hellcat for both electric and 15cc gas power. Join me as I assemble the electric version from start to finish and experiment with Spektrum telemetry.

    Probably the BEST presenter on the whole of TH-cam? Clear, succinct - no waffle, no talking to the "camera person" and no jokes 10/10

    Being an ex (dance club you get where I'm coming from) DJ, I saw many people commenting on your voice it is so true, having a good clear voice is a virtue. I had many people come up to me saying, wow you don't have that ridiculous sounding voice most DJs have, I can actually understand what you're saying and it doesn't grind on my nerves.... moving on I'm not even into remote control planes but I'm in World War II, and hobbies and this is extremely calming and informative thank you

    Real nice build and love your calm voice and demeanor throughout. I am a fellow airplane model lover, though I have yet to build an RC, I loved U control planes when I was just a kid.
    I thought maybe I could help with your issue when the decals fogged up, where I work they use large decals and use soapy water not ammonia.
    You can apply most smaller decals without using water, but for large and very large stickers, this trick is a life-saver. After cleaning your surface area, wet the area again using a spray bottle and a solution of about 5% soap / 95% water. Apply the sticker while the area is still wet.
    You can adjust the decal straight while wet and it will dry overnight. No probs.

  • @jdove6883
    @jdove6883 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You're good. Very good. I have just been flying virtual warbirds for practice before the real thing and it is difficult to keep from crashing! And here you are doing it for real!

  • @ModelAV8RChannel
    @ModelAV8RChannel 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I always go with Callie Graphics...her vinyls eliminate the "clear part" in most decals and when all said and done they look painted on. I own several Hangar 9 planes. Love them but I've never used the decals that came with them. I always like using her stuff just to make mine look different from stock. You have a great channel...nicely done sir! Oh...just FYI the antenna goes the other way...it should be straight up...parallel with the canopy vertical lines.

    I took flying lessons many years ago and wasn't any good at it. tried flying models and wasn't any good at that; so I settled on going to air shows and watching those that are good at it. That been fun as well. Tickets for air shows and hot dogs is cheaper than building expensive models and crashing them. Hobby View you got the know how and the bucks, have fun. Very nice job!

The sheer amount of care and love you put into the construction process was a delight to watch, and your soft voice is easy to listen to without feeling like I'm being screamed at. If all your videos are like this I might just stick around...

    I was in the sport back in the 90's flying with the Jackson Flyers at Fort Jackson SC. I had some really good time and not so good times when the ground got too close to my plane. I still have one in my shop in the box I never put together that one day I might put it together just for snow. Today, the sport is so much bigger and a lot of electric motors. Still a fun sport if you have the time which it takes.

    My dad was crew chief over 5 Grumman F6F's during WW2 on the Khalinin Bay CVE68 . If you haven't seen a Hellcat up close there is one at the free naval museum in Pensacola Florida which I highly recommend seeing. The plane has a 42' wingspan and weighs 9k lbs empty! I can't even imagine trying to land that plane on a deck 512' long and 65' wide with it tossing and turning!

    I’m not a very smart guy so I want to thank you for letting me know that my retracts are getting 7 volts instead of the 6 volts they were designed for. I just finished my Hellcat and I’ve been operating my gear with the pre set voltage from my 100 amp ESC. I hope I haven’t ruined them in the process!!!! I’m going to call Horizons help line today and see if they can help me through the program. Im not computer savvy at all!!! So thanks again for your AWESOME VIDEO on the H-9 Hellcat!!!!

  • @HWPcville
    @HWPcville ปีที่แล้ว

    Adding lead weights to the nose brought back a memory for me. My first plane (don't remember what it was, bought it from a friend) I couldn't find anyone to help me fly it so I decided I could do it by myself. Crashed it on take-off and mangled a wing. I bought wood & shrink wrap and rebuilt it. However, I way overbuilt it and it was so overbalanced I had to add a number of large slip sinker fishing weight into the wing tip. It worked & flew but I didn't pass that info along to anyone. lol

    Man that voice is something. Feels like listening to Bob Ross or something. If you would talk a little bit more gentle this would be a great ASMR video.

    It's a great aeroplane, I flew mine today with a Saito 125.

    I love your channel. I get to live vicariously through you building and flying models.
    So you have a German pilot flying an American plane hunting the Japanese in WWII! Gotcha!

    One of the finest model build videos I've seen. Very well done.

    Its nice to see someone going right to electric. I did nitro for years and honestly, I don't miss it. I hated fighting cranky engines and almost losing a finger. Now the only fuel I use is for the lawn mowers I fix and sell to pay for my planes.

    Wonderfully relaxing and informative video. I've never made a model aeroplane before, but I am now inspired.

    Just a couple of points on your setting up. When you need to reduce the movement on the elevator then move the clevis in on the servo horn not reduce the end point on the transmitter. Altering the transmitter reduces the resolution of the sticks. Also when balancing it to check the CG surely you should have the propeller fitted as it is adding weight to the nose. Your setup will leave the model nose heavy, adding the propeller will allow you to reduce the amount of weight added.
