I got me a bird of time from the same guy at my Fly Baby. Only had to add servos and change the ESC. Plus a receiver. Look like it will fly fine on a 3s.
It is a glider, motor is used only to gain altitude and then enjoy catching thermals. Trim the glider to fly level with the motor off. A good way to set the correct CG on a glider is to gain altitude, turn off the motor, dive in a 45º angle and let go the elevator stick, if the glider nose goes up it is nose heavy and if the nose goes down it is tail heavy. I know that this sounds as the opposite but it is correct. This happens because the trim int he elevator has to compensate for the incorrect CG.
У меня была такая птица на 1600 мм. Как только вы правильно выставите центр тяжести (когда планер летит ровно без двигателя), тогда вы поймаете кайф от полета. Не бойтесь набирать высоты эта птица высокого полета. И тогда посадка для вас не составит труда даже без FLAPS. Жаль что она из бальзы её очень легко сломать.
Beautiful plane. I love the Bird of Time, its iconic looks are unmatched. Happy flying.
It is a unique design. Thanks.
Nice BOT. Beautiful flight finally.
It is very nice. Thanks for watching!!

Sounds right to me. I’ll give it a try.

I would put some air brakes in the wings. They will slow it down tremendously for easier landings. I installed mine right behind the top spar
That’s a good thought. Thanks
