- RC Jim continues the build of this beautiful radio controlled warbird. There were some major challenges and setbacks, including breaking some pieces. Jim worked through them all, and the result should be even better than if they had not happened!
Building mine as well. I replaced the flap and dive brake horns (all of mine broke) with alloy servo horns cut and bonded in. Used ball joints on all the the horns and servo arms I also installed separate servos for the dive brakes and flaps. Following your build with interest Jim
Now I'm wondering if I should also replace the dive brake horns on the other wing!
I would Jim, I changed the original one because it broke while setting up the dive brakes, then a few weeks later the other side broke while static test in in my building room
OK, will do!
This video is great. Hey I’m working on one of these too right now. I put the red/green lights on the wing tips and I’m going to put a landing gear light to help me see it better. I’m new to this but after doing some research it sounds like you need another channel to run the air brakes separately. I’ll use flaps separately for landing when needed but do you use channel mixing to make the air brakes the master and the flaps the slave so all the right surfaces open up when using the air brake function? I’ve never used channel mixing and probably saying it wrong.
Sounds like you are doing a great job. I trust that you have flown other planes before. This one isn't the best for learning how to fly. If you are going to separate the function of the outboard dive flaps from landing flaps you will need to modify it to have two servos for each pair of dive flaps. You can then use mixing along with the relevant switches. It's rather complex. I'm just going to have the bottom dive flap separate from the outboard wing dive flaps. That way, if I'm coming in too hot for a landing, I can give it some of the bottom middle dive flap. Deploying all of those out on the wings would require too steep of a decent to keep it flying. That way I don't have to add any more servos. I will still have to do mixing to have the middle one deploy along with the outboard ones, while still having a separate switch to deploy the middle one by itself. I'll include a video on the mixing when I get to that point of the build.
Building mine as we speak,mounted flap servos in airframe,the hatch fixing seems very fiddly. Not the best built kit,instructions are a bit vague!
What you are saying about the instructions is certainly true. They don't actually tell you the correct procedure for adjusting the dive brakes. And nothing is said about the installation of an electric motor.
