Hi Tim, I have been watching all your videos. It is really an inspiration all your work and that you are sharing your experience. Keep going. THANK YOU!
I don't know what I enjoy more, flying or building. But I do know this, that feeling you get when flying your own scratch built airplane from plans, can't be beat. I will be honest, over the years, I've had good, and bad flyers. But I also will say, my favorite airplanes, and the ones I fly the most, are ones I built myself.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Paul Andrew i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video love it. Iv BUILT r/c aircraft for 40 years from plans and designing my own. 50/% of the fun is building then flying that master peace . The sad thing theses days are people haven't got the pacents to build it's all rush rush rush. Credit card on line arrive to morrow and fly the NEXT day. And The amount of flyers iv spoken to over the years great flyers. BUT don't even know how to read A 3D plan ! LET ALONE how to work with wood , fiber glass, glues, covering cloth, ECT, in my eyes it's so sad. But this video has helped the real R/C intheseast that want to start this great hobby.
Hello Tim,I remember those magazines I think I'm in one of them,in a add that Allen brickhouse published. And he did help me get started on my first build.and he always set my fuel up as well as we helped each other like launching his control line planes to tuning my sig 4 star 40.thanks Tim.
I sure miss the great construction articles from the magazines. You could learn so much about many aspects of the hobby far beyond just how to build the plane. The design philosophy/objective of the design, engine selection, set up etc. The build articles were the most important in my mind. I unfortunately never got a design published, but I have several that I wanted to. Building is a hobby in and of itself, and I have to say I do enjoy building more than flying.
RPerry: Funny you should bring this up. 😁 Just yesterday I finished the construction of the Pronto, a three channel RC sport airplane designed by Dave Roeblen in 1972, 50 years ago. I purchased the plans from Model Airplane News. The video will take you from the set of plans, conversion from gas to electric flight, and all the design considerations along the way. Just waiting for good weather for a test flight, then put out the video. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 My RC club has established a builders group. It is doing very well now after several seasons of existence. We started by choosing an existing kit. We have now done 2 of those, the Alien aircraft Pinwheel .60 and the Old school model works Q500 (which we are club racing with as well). Next up is the Platt Duelist mk. II. One of our guys has a laser cutter, so we are cutting kits to plans. So the plans services that you speak of are being utilized by us tremendously. We have built 2 Qtee models, and I am just finishing up an Ace GLH. Our group has activity from 4 of our Jr. members as well, so we are making headway with the future of the hobby, and the continuance of the importance of building.
@@TimMcKay56 I would like to add that one of the builders in our "Balsa Bashers group", has been building R/C Guillows kits as well.He has derived a ton of knowledge from your videos. It looks like I may be the guy that has to do the maiden flights, so I will report back on those. He has built a Mustang and a spitfire.
@@rperry70 Good luck with the Guillows test flights! Do ensure the Mustang and Spitfire have aileron control for bank, works best for these fast flyers. Tim
Stick with the high wing trainer planes with dihedral at first, the bigger the better. The greater the mass of the plane the greater the wind current needed to upset it. It's harder to learn to fly with a model weighed in ounces.
Tim: Love your videos! I have a question off subject about your Electro Aviator. Are plans for this model still available? I would like to build this model if possible.
I use the Outer zone plans to build my scratch builds. I put the file on a USB stick and take it too the UPS store and get it printed out in full size. It’s about $19.00 CDN 🇨🇦 per sheet. No need to print it out on letter size paper then have it scanned to full size. The USB stick is all that you need!
@@robinboucherwonderfulflight the prints come out very nice and it is done on the spot. But keep in mine this place is a print shop, that also acts as a UPS pickup and drop off.
Oh Amen Tim....I'm 75 now and loved models since I was 7. Yes Sir, there is something wonderful about building a balsa bird from plans....and especially if designed by ones self. Wow. Again, thanks.@@TimMcKay56
Hi tim, thankyou for your channel and information you give us. Thered model you hold in this vid seema to have doen thrust motor. Is that common for model rc balsa planes. How about left or right?
Great video. Nicely edited also. As a fledgling builder (4 Guillows kits) this info is very helpful. I fly rubber powered but all the things you covered relate across the board.
Sorry but, why do people insist on torturing themselves by building those nasty Guillow's kits? Try something from Dumas or Brodak Mfg. Of course, that's just a suggestion.
Hi Tim thanks for your informative videos, I can remember your electro aviater plan in the rcm magazine here in England as I always bought a magazine with a plan, some I have built, and some not , my main design choice was scale models and gliders as I live near a good slope , this video is interesting even though I have built many models from plans , thanks again Tim , please Continue to share your aircraft videos,
Tony: Wow, that is a blast from the past! Glad you recalled the Electro Aviator plan . . . believe that was in Quiet and Electric Flight International magazine. My first plan drawn with CAD, flew very well. Thanks again for tuning in! Tim
I've been building scratch from plans for 50 years and I think one of the biggest advancements is glue. As a kid I could only assemble a few parts each night and then wait 24 hrs for the Ambroid glue to harden. Now I can assemble a whole fuselage or wing in a single night. Now the only draw back is gluing my fingers to the balsa lol.
Tim, what’s the best way you found for transferring the rib and bulkhead patterns from the print to the piece of wood? Without cutting up the original plans? Just make 2 copies of the plans? Tracing paper? Thanks.
Greg: I have traced ribs and bulkheads with paper a bit transparent. Another way is to just copy that section of the plans on your home printer, print and cut out. Tim
Steven: You are 100% correct! I used to subscribe to Quiet and Electric Flight International magazine, now sadly out of business. They published four of my RC plane designs. I emailed the CAD plans, and full size printed in the magazine. Very neat! Tim
You can even get plans from kits on the AMA web site. I don't know if you can get in plans for in production kits but I did get plans for a Champion kit that has been out of production for years.
Hello Tim, with retirement getting closer and a life of modeling that has been going on for about 40 years by now, I am interested in picking up RC flying again (the past few decades, I was RC boating instead). I still have plenty of plans (not that much flying experience though but that will grow on me again), the problem however is that all those plans are either for IC (not allowed in my area anymore), or brushed motors (obsolete these days), and I wonder if there is some conversion table to be found to know what brushless motor can be used as a replacement for any given IC or brushed motor.
Danny: Welcome back to the hobby! Lipos and brushless motors are the way to go, for sure. If you gave a nearby hobby ship that is a good start. Plan B would be to Google the E-Flite ParkZone electric motors. They have a good chart of their motors and suggested model weights to find a good match. Also, once you build a few models you find suitable motors for your next project. Tim
Hello, your videos are really good! I am a beginner in RC model aircraft, I have a very old Taylorcraft kit (I practiced U-control and gliding as a teenager). Now, after decades, I'm interested in electrifying Taylorcraft. Do you have a video showing step by step how to do it? I thank! Walter (Brazil)
Walter: The balsa models more or less follow the same construction techniques with ribs, formers, stringers, etc. Maybe take a look at my Guillow Aeronca video for a step by step. Tim th-cam.com/video/rGoKLpT2m2I/w-d-xo.html
Hello Tim ,no doubt your videos provide a great knowledge to R/C lovers. Tim I asked that how to bind FS-CT6B with F949 receiver. I tried but couldn't successful, only servos attached with transmitter but motor did not. Kindly guid if you can. Thanks
Muzaffar: I am not familiar with the hardware you have in your post. A great approach is to post on RCGroups.com, there is usually an answer from this group. Good luck! Tim
If the plan is a pdf file (and many are), it is often possible to print the plan enlarged to the scale you want on multiple pages with cut lines (poster setting). You have to tape the pages together after trimming some of them to the cut lines but it is easy to do, precise, and does not cost much more than the paper you print it on. And you don't have to look for some large size printing service in your area.
Hey Tim, I'm an RC Modeller from the UK and we have an RC magazine called RCME which contains a free set of full size plans in every issue. If it interests you I'd be happy to send you the issues I'm finished with and you could build a model using the free plans included. Would be interesting to see if it compares to the magazine you're talking about in this video.
Hi Tim, I really like your videos and the positive energy you put in them, not to mention the knowledge for ages to come. I am trying to build a flying Cessna 140 from plans. So I downloaded and printed the Burnis Fields plans and printed the plans to full size. What I have noticed is the scales used on the first 3 sheets are different. Example, on sheet one, if you measure the chord of the wing to fuselage rib and go to sheet 2 to view it, the rib chord on sheet 2 length is different. Any idea on how to get all the scales on the different sheets to match? I tried but it is mind boggling and maybe you or someone else who follows your videos may be able to assist. Thank you again for all your hard work
Zuhair: That can be frustrating when the sheet scales are a bit off. Two approaches I can think of: reprint, say, the wing plan at a different enlargement scale so it matches side view. Or, if they are pretty close, build the wing at it’s size and mod the fuselage top to accept the different chord. Tim
Tim - I figured out this scale mess. Burnis Fields provided a scale on each sheet in the sheet title block. Each is equivalent to 6 feet. Example 3 inch = 6 feet. From there I was able to use the scale on one sheet as a standard, and determined the scale factor on the other sheets. Double checked this on few views and Bingo all match.
Hey Tim, I have a couple questions for you. My cousins girlfriend who is an absolutely wonderful girl saw all the planes around my house and bought me an old Guillows shyhawk for Christmas. Its pre laser cut and took me back about 50 years once I started on it. A few years back I built the Guillows Champ and converted to rc using what you called a brick from the little eflite pitts.I also used the same motor and prop. Do you think this setup will work on the Shyhawk? I love these new linear servos but I see you use the old type servos. I also made a taildragger out of it. I flew a taildragger Hawk XP a few years back and for a hawk it had fantastic performance. I have more time on floats and ski's than wheels. Plus as I'm sure you know that God made a few perfect planes and the rest he put the little wheel upfront. I think the Skyhawk is going to weight more then the Champ and Pitts thats why I'm asking. Thanks for your time, greatly appreciated Chip Foster, Casco Maine
Chip: I had forgotten all about the Guillows C-172, had to look it up. The Guillows Champ is one of their smaller models, weighs under 3 pounces. Good for mini RC hardware. The C-172 is much bigger with a 36" wingspan. If you use exactly what I used for my Guillows Hellcat, the C-172 should be a great project. They are the same size. Good luck!
