Assembly & Flight Review (w/weathering & paint tips!) -- FlightLine RC Ta 152H 1300mm Wingspan

- Here's my review of the FlightLine RC Ta 152H 1300mm wingspan. I love the long nose Focke-Wulf designs and the Ta 152H is one I've always had an affinity for. So, I picked up this model late last year for a rainy day and recently got together and flying and it is sweet! The airplane flies great on a 4s pack having good speed with awesome vertical and the shape of the model captures the lines of the Ta 152H almost perfectly. I did some paint work and weathering along with some landing gear mods to obtain the scale gear angle in the down position which are all covered in the vid. My full review writeup with CG, control throw and Dx file is available at thercgeek.com/Ta152

Great video my friend. Iam dreaming of this baby from the moment it was released. Hope to have it someday for the test. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Thanks man! She’s a cool little model. I hope you’re able to get one. 😊
One of the best flying warbirds in this class that i own (and i own quite a lot, some would say too many 😎😎). Flies like it's on rails with perfect speed. I initially bought the "sport power setup" with the 2 blade prop + spinner and the higher KV motor but never installed that because the standard config has more than enough power (and looks better with the scale 3 blade scale prop). It's amazing to see this bird accelerating when you push the throttle to max from a cruising speed 😁😁
I just wish that they would release a D9 because I like that version even more.
Great review. The additional paint/weathering looks awesome 👍
Thank you!
This is the kind of modding that gets the mouth watering. Weathering and updating the look is what it's all about! It looks really great, good job! But sorry did you hear the sound of that thing in flight? Wow I love this model 👌🏴
Thank you! This really is a cool little model. Doesn’t take much effort to really make her shine. 😊
Nice job on the weathering and landing gear mod. You have way more energy than I have. I'm too damn lazy, I just fly them like they come out of the box.
Thanks! For me, it really depends on the airplane. Some I want spend the extra time, others not so much. 😊
Nice job chris!! Love it !!
Very nice model, great silhouette and lovely weathering. I like what you have done to the main gear - they always get FW 190 gear wrong - even Sierra Giant don't do it properly. It would really finish it off if you could tuck that tailwheel up... quite a challenge, but a lot of the late war planes don't quite have realism in flight because of the tail wheels.
Thank you! I hear you on the tail wheel, that would be pretty cool. Really tough to do at this size when it’s already built. At least it’s the right size and shape.
Great work. Nice that you went to all the effort to replicate "Green 9". Did you forget the tail markings?
I like what you did w/gear. I looks small to be a 1300mm plane compared to a 1100mm FW190. But I still have not flown mine yet. Just fly my Dynam planes now.👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Yeah, it’s not a real big model, but it does look cool. The wingspan is long, so that’s kind of deceiving.
AWESOME BRO!! 🤘🤘💪
Thanks mah dude!
Lol love the ending. My wife said "oh that's you too" 😆
It’s all of us! 🤣🤣
just subscribed. Fantastic review ! Do you think the canopy is, and will stay clear enough for an internal HD FPV camera placement on a pan/tilt/lean gimbal ?
Thanks! Fpv would be pretty rad in this. I feel like the canopy is clear enough, but I don’t really have any experience with that.
Wunderschön lackiert 👍👍👍👍👍
Looks easy to take off with your gear modifications. It doesn't do that annoying hard left.
Takeoffs I found were quite user friendly actually, I expected far worse. You do have to be a bit active on the rudder and elevator, but that’s pretty typical.
Great looking paint job Chris! I've admired this one for a long time, I have the 800mm mustang and love it, FL makes a good plane. Question- do you think It could do well with a 4S 5,000 mah? Looks like there is a little room to go aft in the fuselage.
Honestly, I’m not certain a 5000 would fit very well. That’s a pretty large pack for this airplane.
@@Thercgeek Cool, thanks!
Chris, another great video. Quick question: When you bent the axle to make the wheels orient vertically (like the real one)...did you actually bend the axle itself or the lower part of the strut?
They struts are wire, so I bent the axle portion to get the correct wheel angle.
@@Thercgeek got it. I tried bending just the axle on one of the retracts and couldn't get it to bend. I may try taking the strut out altogether so I can get better lwverage on it.
Harry potter fan? love it haha. Nice vid there Chris
Thanks! 😊
I re flew mine 3 days ago, green 4 with lime green spinner white spiral and moved the lipo back a 1/4 in and this stopped the plane wanting to rotate up on its nose issue completely ,completely normal operations. flies like a pattern plane, the parkzone fw190a wheels look nice. i use the parkzone p47 install reversed sided and look very scale . will 3d print a max gruder bf109 pilot from 3d trader to fit after scaling it . working on a second one as green 9 with the red spinner. stab JG 301 Willi Reschke wn 150168
Nice!!
Very nice. I play il2 sturmovk vr
Yes Chris! What is a Warbird without weathering? Well, not a Warbird.
#truestory 😊
Whao!!! I gots One
Yasss!
Where did you purchase the control throw gauge? All of your planes always seem to look great, but I have been most envious of that gauge for a while now! I must get one!
Great Planes incidence meter, found it!
Throw meter.
Yeah, it’s called an accuthrow meter from great planes. My understanding is that it’s been discontinued. So that’s awesome if you found one!
Figures... I was just getting good at “weathering” the old fashioned way. (Banging then around in the truck, brushes with tree branches, and landings that resemble cartwheels)
But if you think this is a way to weather and in some weird way might lengthen the life of the plane, I’ll try it on the new Me-262.
Looks like a lot of work when I can weather and age a plane in under 4 minutes....
Hahaha, whatever works, right? 🤣
"The old-fashioned way".................. first time that I have laughed today!🤣
Great video! Do you think this is a better choice than the Dynam focke wolf and is worth getting?
Thanks! Imo, the quality of this one is quite a bit better than the dynam.
@@Thercgeek OK, do you think this is worth getting as a first warbird as in is it easy to fly, as if not I might get a bush plane
I have had only bit of experience with RC planes
If you have some tail wheel experience you should be fine. The hardest part in flying the model is the takeoff, so just requires smooth throttle control and avoiding lifting off the airplane too soon. Otherwise, it’s a pretty cool flyer.
Hello, how were you able to not pull off the factory paint when masking with frog tape? I figure it would peel the thin factory paint right off when you pull the frog tape off.
I’ve had very good success with frog tape. I’ll typically place the tape on my shirt first before placing it on the model and then peel it back over itself when lifting it up. Works great!
Fantastic. I will try that with the frog tape. Thanks for the info!
Luv mine 3 years now retracts are getting a little finicky now lol
When you use Windex, does it matter If it has ammonia I it?
Good question. I don’t believe the windex that I use for that stuff has ammonia in it.
Be very nice with one of those old RCV56 engines in it
Old school rotary, nice!
@@Thercgeek rotating cylinder valve engine, with the piston inside the output shaft, Four stroke jobys
Can you remove the canopy without damaging the fuselage?
Usually, if you can get a fingernail underneath one of the edges and start lifting it, it’ll start to pull away from the fuselage. That’s how I go about it. If you get a tool in there, that’s when you run the risk of damaging the surrounding areas on the fuse.
@@Thercgeek Thank you. i was thinking about buying it in separate parts instead if I were to buy it instead.
can you fly bind this plane to nx8 transmitter
This one comes without a receiver in it, so can use any type of radio system with it.
How much torque is on the plane on take offs
It’s pretty manageable on this airplane as the rudder remains pretty effective through the full speed range on takeoff.
@@Thercgeek thanks for the information
Where can I get Frog tape .
I get it from Amazon amzn.to/3JVkjv7
LARGER PROPELLERS please! We want real scale props.
you forgot the swastika
This is a old model. I have two of them. Hype made them at the time(8years back).
LG quality is garbage btw
