Hey Everyone!! Surprised to see this on the channel!?! Yeah, we had an absolute BLAST flying this and making this video for you :-) After SIX years on TH-cam with RC content nearly daily, we finally bring some GLOW goodness to the table, and we couldn't be more excited! Hope you enjoy this video! If so, please leave us a like. We'll do our best to link most of the stuff in this plane just below and in the video description box. Keep in mind, the engine in this plane isn't sold as NEW any longer, so we've linked the updated version. Happy Flying! Buy the plane here: goo.gl/Gti4bq Transmitter: goo.gl/srpjqd Servos: goo.gl/p3C2Aw Engine: goo.gl/7BZ6wm Battery: goo.gl/6u2Qun
I am so glad to see y'all getting into nitro I've been flying nitro since I was to small to hold a radio by myself my dad would have to hold it while I tried to fly lol. There is nothing like nitro and sig is a solid company and I have had a few somethin extras, also O.S. is great stuff pretty easy to tune for the most part. Keep the nitro stuff coming, God Bless and ROLL TIDE!
Good job on this video and it was exciting seeing you try something different! I do all kinds in the air, but its been a while since I tried a boat or a truck. You have inspired me! Sounds like a winter project. Next, we will see you with a gasser! I myself fly electrics, glow, gas and drones. They are all fun in their own way! Have a great day - I need to pop up to Kentucky and visit your field.
Had an absolute BLAST watching this video :) Thank you very much! Liked the content style/alternate format where you're just having fun, giving it some welly and occasionally making a comment on the situation. Encore.
Love the new start to your videos. Did glow many years ago and flew off water with scratch build plane, a Sig Kadet. Good memories. But now I love my electric foamies and scratch built foam board planes.
I kit built this plane when Sig first introduced it. I used a Rossi 40 and a tuned pipe down the side. A absolute Blast to fly! The power to weight ratio was enough it would go vertical as soon as you could get it of the ground. Great memories. Great video from drone too!
That is awesome Edward!! Wish I could say the same, that I built one from the ground up. Not sure I would have the time, but it's something I really want to do one day!
Brought back some great memories tonight guys. With both the plane and the ESTES rockets. I can remember 50 years ago shooting off ESTES rockets, some with compartments to hold items. The GLOW plane I remember had much smaller engines from years ago. Great video tonight guys. Thanks again for the memories.
this has prob been my fav video of yours yet... I few months ago I picked up some glow planes... a sig 4 star 40 RTF complete with a nice high end 72mhz synthesized radio and an old goldberg anniversary cub that needs a bit of work (patching, servos, and a motor)... I swapped the 72mhz out for frsky stuff and sold it for about 1/2 of what I paid for the entire setup... I still haven't gotten out to fly it yet because I need to find a proper club to join and fly with... hopefully soon... THEN you showed the ESTES stuff... I grew up flying them, it was something my dad did when he was a kid... I built and flew them with my kids... I still love them...
First! My first experience with RC aviation was with a .40 nitro trainer. We did not have these fancy 2.4ghz transmitters and hi-tech lipo batteries. The servos I used were huge compared to the ones nowadays. Bonus rocket footage is awesome! Well done Sailors!
@ RCSaylors: Thank you guys for yet another great video. The end of this video was amazing. I didn't even realize they still made those rockets! Very cool! Nate, great job on your landing... actually was kind of tense for a second -which was fun to watch!
Nathan, I flew glows back in the 60s and 70s. You did a GREAT job there. I am SO proud of your ability for flight, and that I got to watch your first 'glow' flight. Ya' did good, son. I hope to see more 'glow' from the channel. Only down-side is ya' gotta have it running for take-off, but I feel it is well worth that small bit of non-realism - the not being able to taxi out from dead stop as you can with electric. And, also a bit of a 'pain', you should ALWAYS do the pre-launch power check for each & every flight. You have a good teacher there. Listen to him. HAVE FUN!!! :-)
Thank you very much my friend :-) We do hope to bring more like this to our channel. It doesn't ALWAYS have to be something new out of a box, at least that's how I feel right now, lol! I agree, many pros and cons to both glow and electric. Hard to chose which way to go some times, but honestly electric is mostly superior these days. Still, I couldn't help myself, and had to learn more about this part of the hobby I've been missing out on. Thanks for the kind words, and for tuning in!
I loved the rockets!. I grew up on those; I had one called big Bertha which was 7 ft long and another I built that was a flying model of the sr-71 , even one that instead of a chute it had rotor blades spring out and auto-rotate the rocket. My mom still has them in a box in storage... I may go look for them at Thanksgiving!
Go Nitro Nate!! What a fun video. Great job filming from the ground, Abby and Amelia. Thanks Nate for giving us those drone shots I love. And what a blast to end with some rockets. Wonderful!
Nice plane, nice flying. Fortunately I got I/C engines out of my system when I was young and that was all there was as neither of the flying fields I use now allow them. (it's part of the usage agreements) I sometimes miss the smell but not the noise and fiddling to get them to fly right. Enjoy it whilst you can. RC is about trying everything
Not familure with that plane. Yes, you can buy a nice used RC Nitro plane for a great deal. Thankyou for supporting my effort to get guys to realize they CAN get into RC even on a tight budget. Looked like a finger biter at first. I have my Sig Kadet that I will be flying come spring. I was going to repaint it but decided its in such great shape, I am just going to fly it as is. As you said, for the price, if you crash, its not that big of a deal. To me, its not the cost of the plane, its everything you NEED to fly a nitro, or even gas plane. I had to replace the engine on mine, I decided it might be better just to invest in a new engine than take a chance on the one I put new bearings in. I WILL be using that engine on my prop boat. I thought it sounded a bit lean also. Its best to let them burble a bit than crackle. Running lean can cause an issue. RC Reviews has a way to run a little clunk bottle that compensates for flying inverted or doing rolls so that fuel is always reaching the engine. It may be NightFlyyer that came up with it. Was that the baby I hear with Abby? Sounds healthy and hungry. Nice plane Nate. Oh, I am getting that Kyosho Blizzard soon! Hopefully this weekend if Riders in Grand Rapids sells them.
Gas is cheaper to fly than electric you dont really need anything special besides fuel pump20$ to fill gas tank you can flip start those and gas costs 3$ gallon
@@TheRcSaylors AT those early years, muffler rob off too much power and was not mandatory. Yeah it was loud. We used to tune the engine by holding the plan vertically for max rpm, cannot be simpler than that.
Hey guys, so glad you posted this video, you are my main go to whenever I have a question. Just recently bought an Avistar Nitro, and another one just slightly larger, 6 ft. Wing span, can't wait to put one in the air:-))) Thank you for all your great videos 😀
I too got my start in model rocketry! My first Estes rocket was probably purchased in about 1965 for around $2.50. After I had built a few from scratch, a friend that was “outgrowing” them, gave me a collection of 2, 3 and 4 engine rockets including a Saturn V, that only flew successfully once! I never could get all 4 engines to ignite exactly together! Now you know how really old I am, but still love my toys!!!
Just watching the ESTES rocket take off had me remember the smell. I remember smelling the inside of the cardboard tube of my first rocket, "Big Bertha." Great seeing the first time joy and excitement in him. Thank you for bringing him into the hobby.
That brings back memories. In the late 1950's and 60's I had a P-51 Mustang line controlled airplane. It was really fast and difficult to control, I got dizzy spinning around in circles. And a line (but no control, just put it on the line and let it go around in a circle) nitro Formula race car. And Estes rockets. I ended up mounting a rocket engine on the back of the race car. Cool video. They don't always have to be review videos. Videos of you just enjoying the hobby are cool too.
I made rockets with my kids, we had a blast . We used old cardboard tubes. They would go out of site . We had so much fun . Now we do cars and planes and quads.
Just think that was a great video. Semi retired and was thinking you have a great club and a great place to move to and support the club. In Virginia now and the club is not much more than flying at the landfill on AMA days./ Love you guys!!!
Great video, I enjoyed it very much. I've been flying nitro planes since 1986. Back then I learned to fly on a Yamamoto 40 trainer with an OS 40 two stroke. Today I still enjoy flying my nitro planes but I have also a few electric aircraft that I enjoy flying too. When I'm flying my fourstroke planes, I run them rich so I have a nice smoke trail through the sky. I'm two years short of 60 and I enjoy this hobby as much now as I did back then. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos.
Good day everyone! Spectacular review of something(s) very different on the channel, my friends! A glow powered plane & solid fueled model rockets! I, too, started with Estes rockets as a kid (which means they've been around a long time!;) Lol The Sig glow was really great to see! Both from the "Abby-cam" & Nate's race drone - awesome work guys, it was beautifully done!!! So cool, that your friends pitched in to bring this amazing video, to us all! Take great care! JP
Flew so many sig models back in the day, I learned on a sig Commander, and went on to fly the cobra series kits they were great kits and excellent flyers.
When I was a kid my buddy Vic had this plane on a rope that would circle around. It was powered by some kinda fuel from a small canister. It worked for a little bit as I remember. It had to be the.late 60's or early 70's. Definately a pass today ;-) but, at the time so cool. I don't doubt you brought back a lot of memories for many of us today. RC, got the bug and learning alot. Drones, bashing, and planes and looking at those boats. Do you know where I can purchase more time ;-). Thank you both.
Yes a plane video! And a with a screamin engine no less! Looks like fun, I restored an old glow plane as a project this year. What a fun learning experience.
"Back in the day" our only options were glow and gliders, and I thoroughly enjoyed them both. Today I only fly clean and quiet electrics, but it sure is nice to hear the roar and smell the castor oil once in a while.
Another awesome Saylors vid. I don’t know that I could get into gas planes because i’d end up with noise complaints where I live but those rockets look very cool.
Yeah I think we are lucky to be able to fly in this industrial park area where there are TONS of loud noises all the time, so planes don't really bother anyone. Thanks for tuning in Anthony!
The rockets sure brought back old memories. I used to build my own rockets out of paper towel tubes, mount my own cardboard fins and even built the launch system. So much fun!
Nice plane love the os engine there the best I have the same engine on my Falcon 56 The Rockets at the rocket at the end was cool to I remember when I started this hobby I flew control line if you never done that Nate you should try that it’s a lot of fun Great video I enjoyed watching your guises videos
11:33 Back when I was in middle school, probably in the late 1970s, Estes model rockets were very popular in my school. The school had a large club led by several teachers. Whenever they launched, a large audience of students was always on hand. One thing I remember that is missing from the footage in this episode: a car with its hood up was always present. They used the car battery for something, but I don't remember what.
He meant to say it's common like a small block chevy, not ford. LOL. I'm kidding of course, everything with a motor is fun! Cool to see a nitro, they are more work and maintenance but are a unique experience like no other. T-maxx 2.5 made me fall in love with rc's back in the day. Cool video!! Nice of him to help you get into the nitro side for a GREAT deal. Good flying.
Thanks the whole vid brought back memories I got into r c from rockets to glow planes and now electric missed POPEYE 🙃 can't wait to see the babies first drone drone vid ✌️
I'm very happy you did this, hopefully some young people will see Glow as something they'd like. There are very few new Glow guys by me. Awesome job on the flight and deadstick. Used is the way to go. I have 5 of them and only 1 is new (all the old ones fly great). A modern engine is a big help I must say, some of the "vintage" ones can be picky since o rings and the sort wear over time. Good choice with the FX since the needle is far back from the prop, you want to keep your fingers happy. Other tip for happy fingers, get into the habit of removing the glow igniter from behind the prop, not the front.
Hello from Australia. Very very impressive all around. Great flying and superb use of the drone. I have just bought a SIG 4 Star 64 and will put an OS 46 AX in it.
Great vid guys I've never liked glow powered models too much tuning and maintenance I'll always be electric...unless I end up rich then it'll be a turbine powered yak-130! Lol
I'm 14 and I switchd to running all nitro during the summer. I would rather spend 4 hr tuning than 4 hr waiting for batteries to charge. I have blown more ESCs and motors than engines. (I've never blown an engine) As long as you get good at tuning quickly nitro is more fun imo. I have a tmax 2.5, exceed forza .18, wltoys a969b converted to brushless, an old himoto buggy, and one total piece of crap. But I only run electric in the house when there is multiple feet of snow outside. Office chair backflips...Lol
Nitro Nate. LOVE IT. Awesome landing. Were you breathing LOL. I miss rockets. Simular setup in 70s. This video embodies the spirt of the hobby. The thrill, excitement, heart pumping and feel you get flying and LANDING. Thank you 😊
Thanks Rob! Yeah we wish we had the time and funds to be able to bring more planes to the channel. We've got plans to do just that if the weather permits!
Its tuned lean for sure. Should see a lot more smoke and you can actually hear its lean as it sounds nasaly. as the fuel level drops so does your fuel flow so it continues to go lean evidenced by the bogging. Always peak the revs always at wide open throttle and drop revs by about 500 to 800 rpm using the high speed needle. Otherwise you will damage your engine and have dead stick landings. Nitro is super easy and reliable not to mention longer flights and easier to fly once set up properly.
Just got a used nitro, the orakote was crap, I recovered it, tuned up the engine, os .45, fired it up, and the radio gear was upgraded, so it will be ready to rock .
i had a sig something extra a few years back they are a blast...i sold it along with some other planes they were getting a little out of control i was running out of room in the shop lol!
1:58 You guys talk about crashing as though it's always an option. You need to re-think your thinking. For me, crashes only happen when I run out of options. And I seldom run out of options. I like your channel. Keep up the good work.
Dave!! Good to hear from you :-) Can't wait to fly with you, but we may be seeing you before that. Might need some help with Giving Tree stuff. Plans to do our video soon.
Very cool,,, I have a plane I built back in the late 80s with an OS46 hanging in the workroom on the wall. The wing is in the dining room. ( not married anymore lol )
Wow i missed having rockets! my favorite was a two stage one that had a clear tube that you can put "payload" into. And yeah it was by (estes) as well. Just loved the sounds it made...i wanna say something like the rc serpents gas engine engaging into it's 2nd speed!
Os also makes a .52 I believe. .40 - .46 is just a recommendation. I'd put a .60 in that all day. I've built countless models just like that over the last 20 years and I always find that the recommendation is enough to get in the air but leaves you feeling like it's lacking a little bit of punch.
@@TheRcSaylors Its Fantastic!!!! PS. Still waiting for the side arm video on the vlog channel... Am out in the Deer stand as I watched this.(reason for remembering seeing it in a few older videos..
Back when I was in middle school, probably in the late 1970s, the only RC planes I was aware of were fuel-engine powered similar to this one. Electric RC planes possibly existed, but I had no awareness of them. Without researching the history, I would guess that advances in electronics, motors, and especially battery technology have led to the huge popularity currently enjoyed by electric RC planes.
Welcome to the world of cleaning up an oil covered airplane with copious amounts of windex and paper towels. Looks awesome. I remember all my first planes were glow powered as electrics just weren’t that available.
I may be bias, but the rockets were cool. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit my favorite parts were the chase video. Not brave enough to try planes yet, so I’ll enjoy watching you fly.
And one more thing 😁 nice landing. That is a landing one can dream about hoping it lands like that all the time. Rockets are a blast hehe. Love the video.
This is the way planes should be. And compared to cars/trucks, you can follow your own hills, anywhere you like. I have always preferred airplanes, of any description, over two-dimensional cars/trucks/trains/etc.
On most glow powered aircraft, the engine will run richer in flight simply due to higher rpms producing higher tank air pressure. There are many variables that effect that like, pump, muffler, and type of prop or engine load, as well as the design of the tank and muffler.
I have a plane I traded for several years ago that has I think, the same engine. I thought about converting to electric but maybe someday I'll try it. I'm a newbie so it'll be awhile. The engine seems gummed up so I'll have to go through it. It brings back memories of flying rockets as a kid.

I used to have some of those Estes rockets too. And also did have a small red one that I lost straight after first launch.
A engine on anything = fun Great video
Thanks a lot Jayme, and I'm starting to see that more and more clearly now :-)
You guys make me want to get my rc collection started again. I have some bingewatching to do
Yes you should fire it back up Gecko!! Such a fun hobby!

Now I know what a glow plane is...so cool! The rockets took me back to childhood...aahhh...sweet memories!!
a friend of mine found an RTF 48" sig Fazer with only slight damage for $20 at a garage sale...talk about a deal!!!!!
Awesome guys awesome. Great flying and bonus with the rockets 👍✈️😊
Thank you my friend!
TheRcSaylors you’re welcome 😊✈️👍
Yes a plane video! And a with a screamin engine no less! Looks like fun, I restored an old glow plane as a project this year. What a fun learning experience.
I got excited when the algorithm showed me this on break at work, but it's a couple years old. Would dearly love to see you guys do more glow stuff!
Sweet plane
Great flight. Nice plane. Awesome dead stick landing. God bless.
Well, that's a couple of blasts from my past, and it's always good to see the younger ones enjoying hobbies.
Very much enjoyed this part of the hobby. I'm only sorry now that it has taken us this long to make this happen!
"Back in the day" our only options were glow and gliders, and I thoroughly enjoyed them both. Today I only fly clean and quiet electrics, but it sure is nice to hear the roar and smell the castor oil once in a while.
Another awesome Saylors vid. I don’t know that I could get into gas planes because i’d end up with noise complaints where I live but those rockets look very cool.
Yeah I think we are lucky to be able to fly in this industrial park area where there are TONS of loud noises all the time, so planes don't really bother anyone. Thanks for tuning in Anthony!
Nitro changed you’re life! I’m loving it! 👍👍😎👍👍
Love these planes!!! Many hours flying the Sig!
The rockets sure brought back old memories. I used to build my own rockets out of paper towel tubes, mount my own cardboard fins and even built the launch system. So much fun!
Great flying looks good.
Thanks Robert!
Nice plane love the os engine there the best I have the same engine on my Falcon 56 The Rockets at the rocket at the end was cool to I remember when I started this hobby I flew control line if you never done that Nate you should try that it’s a lot of fun Great video I enjoyed watching your guises videos
Congrats on your InauGLOral Flight, Nate!
And that was a fun little Epilogue. 🚀
11:33 Back when I was in middle school, probably in the late 1970s, Estes model rockets were very popular in my school. The school had a large club led by several teachers. Whenever they launched, a large audience of students was always on hand. One thing I remember that is missing from the footage in this episode: a car with its hood up was always present. They used the car battery for something, but I don't remember what.
He meant to say it's common like a small block chevy, not ford. LOL. I'm kidding of course, everything with a motor is fun! Cool to see a nitro, they are more work and maintenance but are a unique experience like no other. T-maxx 2.5 made me fall in love with rc's back in the day. Cool video!! Nice of him to help you get into the nitro side for a GREAT deal. Good flying.
Thanks the whole vid brought back memories I got into r c from rockets to glow planes and now electric missed POPEYE 🙃 can't wait to see the babies first drone drone vid ✌️
Love seeing the youngsters involved. Great video.
I'm very happy you did this, hopefully some young people will see Glow as something they'd like. There are very few new Glow guys by me. Awesome job on the flight and deadstick. Used is the way to go. I have 5 of them and only 1 is new (all the old ones fly great). A modern engine is a big help I must say, some of the "vintage" ones can be picky since o rings and the sort wear over time. Good choice with the FX since the needle is far back from the prop, you want to keep your fingers happy. Other tip for happy fingers, get into the habit of removing the glow igniter from behind the prop, not the front.
one of the coolest part of all yall's videos is Nate's laugh. love it
We played with Estes rockets when we were kids too. What fun!!
Hello from Australia. Very very impressive all around. Great flying and superb use of the drone. I have just bought a SIG 4 Star 64 and will put an OS 46 AX in it.
Y'all had some good fun today. Didn't know rockets were so cool.
Is this one of your first nitro planes? It's a really good video either way
Great vid guys I've never liked glow powered models too much tuning and maintenance I'll always be electric...unless I end up rich then it'll be a turbine powered yak-130! Lol
I'm 14 and I switchd to running all nitro during the summer. I would rather spend 4 hr tuning than 4 hr waiting for batteries to charge. I have blown more ESCs and motors than engines. (I've never blown an engine) As long as you get good at tuning quickly nitro is more fun imo. I have a tmax 2.5, exceed forza .18, wltoys a969b converted to brushless, an old himoto buggy, and one total piece of crap. But I only run electric in the house when there is multiple feet of snow outside. Office chair backflips...Lol
Nitro Nate. LOVE IT. Awesome landing. Were you breathing LOL. I miss rockets. Simular setup in 70s. This video embodies the spirt of the hobby. The thrill, excitement, heart pumping and feel you get flying and LANDING. Thank you 😊
Awesome vid! Thanks team! Stoked to see planes & showing us a glow plane and second hand is keeping it real. Love your work, hi little Amelia!! 😁
Thanks Rob! Yeah we wish we had the time and funds to be able to bring more planes to the channel. We've got plans to do just that if the weather permits!
Yaaaaaaaa planes ✈️$100 well spent🇺🇸 Thanks! More More
I'll do my best to find more deals like this :-) More planes are planned to come to the channel!
If you like that one you should try to find a world models Rambler 45. Its a great sport plane with retracts.
Its tuned lean for sure. Should see a lot more smoke and you can actually hear its lean as it sounds nasaly. as the fuel level drops so does your fuel flow so it continues to go lean evidenced by the bogging. Always peak the revs always at wide open throttle and drop revs by about 500 to 800 rpm using the high speed needle. Otherwise you will damage your engine and have dead stick landings. Nitro is super easy and reliable not to mention longer flights and easier to fly once set up properly.
Just got a used nitro, the orakote was crap, I recovered it, tuned up the engine, os .45, fired it up, and the radio gear was upgraded, so it will be ready to rock .
Veco 61 was the motor to have when I was a kid. Sig was here in Iowa, I visited the company with my grandfather when I was a kid.
That would be so cool to visit the actual company!
Great job!! Abbey get on the stick next time
Tried to talk her into it, I think she was nervous to fly :-/
WHAT an airplane. YEAH. Finally. Keep em coming guys. Greatly appreciated
i had a sig something extra a few years back they are a blast...i sold it along with some other planes they were getting a little out of control i was running out of room in the shop lol!
1:58 You guys talk about crashing as though it's always an option.
You need to re-think your thinking.
For me, crashes only happen when I run out of options. And I seldom run out of options.
I like your channel. Keep up the good work.
great video with awesome drone footage!!!
Love all your videos!
Awesome experience. And a bonus at the end of the day. How cool is that?
Dave!! Good to hear from you :-) Can't wait to fly with you, but we may be seeing you before that. Might need some help with Giving Tree stuff. Plans to do our video soon.
You have my support. Get with me over the tele-communicator so we can plan when to knock it out of the park for the kids.
Gracias hermoso video! Hermoso vuelo y sonido de motor! Gracias
Love the. Video
Thank you Luke!
Nice plane,good dead stick landing. Great video. So what's next submarines. Dive,dive,dive. Dang no sub emoji.. 😆😉
What!?! No submarine emoji!?!? You could have done the sandwich version ;-)
that was cool i have a nitro there so much fun run them all day good flying nitro nate lol.
Great flight. How about a big EDF jet next? We used to fly jets a lot. The jaw dropping high speed passes from those jets were insane!
Very cool,,, I have a plane I built back in the late 80s with an OS46 hanging in the workroom on the wall. The wing is in the dining room. ( not married anymore lol )
That's really cool skycarl! You know, I've really gotta sit down and build a plane one of these days from a kit.
Wow i missed having rockets! my favorite was a two stage one that had a clear tube that you can put "payload" into. And yeah it was by (estes) as well.
Just loved the sounds it made...i wanna say something like the rc serpents gas engine engaging into it's 2nd speed!
Frogs and lizards 🤣
Os also makes a .52 I believe. .40 - .46 is just a recommendation. I'd put a .60 in that all day. I've built countless models just like that over the last 20 years and I always find that the recommendation is enough to get in the air but leaves you feeling like it's lacking a little bit of punch.
Great tip my friend! I think if this plane out lives the engine, I'll shop around for a used .60 size and see how it holds up :-)
I just got a MR Rc sound for my Dynam BF 109. I cannot wait to try it out.
Awwww Nate you tugged at my heart with this one... Gotta love the smell of that nitro..... Cheers
@@TheRcSaylors Its Fantastic!!!!
PS. Still waiting for the side arm video on the vlog channel... Am out in the Deer stand as I watched this.(reason for remembering seeing it in a few older videos..
Back when I was in middle school, probably in the late 1970s, the only RC planes I was aware of were fuel-engine powered similar to this one. Electric RC planes possibly existed, but I had no awareness of them. Without researching the history, I would guess that advances in electronics, motors, and especially battery technology have led to the huge popularity currently enjoyed by electric RC planes.
Welcome to the world of cleaning up an oil covered airplane with copious amounts of windex and paper towels. Looks awesome. I remember all my first planes were glow powered as electrics just weren’t that available.
I may be bias, but the rockets were cool. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit my favorite parts were the chase video. Not brave enough to try planes yet, so I’ll enjoy watching you fly.
Lol, hey Don!! Glad you guys saw this :-) One step at a time! We will get you in the air probably by Spring time for sure!
TheRcSaylors that’s not what I’m afraid of. Getting out of the air is the hard part, or expensive part.
All I got to say is........ Love The Video.
And one more thing 😁 nice landing. That is a landing one can dream about hoping it lands like that all the time. Rockets are a blast hehe. Love the video.
That was a surprise but a very pleasant one!
Reminds me of my glow days ! Don’t miss the cleanup afterwards though :) Enjoy !
Yeah, the clean up is no fun :-(
This is the way planes should be.
And compared to cars/trucks, you can follow your own hills, anywhere you like.
I have always preferred airplanes, of any description, over two-dimensional cars/trucks/trains/etc.
Finally!;) there you go. Nitro
On most glow powered aircraft, the engine will run richer in flight simply due to higher rpms producing higher tank air pressure. There are many variables that effect that like, pump, muffler, and type of prop or engine load, as well as the design of the tank and muffler.
I have a plane I traded for several years ago that has I think, the same engine. I thought about converting to electric but maybe someday I'll try it. I'm a newbie so it'll be awhile. The engine seems gummed up so I'll have to go through it. It brings back memories of flying rockets as a kid.
