[Ryan]

hey there, anyone bought this kit? i got it a while back and now i'm starting to build it. however i found that there are missing parts. i'm just checking if any of you guys have encountered the same problem...

[DennisP]

Hi, I to was tempted by the good colour scheme and also the low price, I opened my box today and it all seems there what do you think is missing..?

[Bear]

4 plastic pic to hold the landing gear are missing.

[DennisP]

My kit is the same.... , sure I have something in my stores or I will purchase some DuBro ones from NTC.

[Ryan]

yup was talking abt that too. i used the wood from the wing cut out for the servo mount. since its covered red anyway.

almost done building it. love the colours. should be maidening tomorrow at woodlands in the evening.

[DennisP]

Well done look forward to hearing how the bird flies, what motor and pack are you proposing to use.?

[Ryan]

tower pro black bell motor. batt not so sure yet. will try PQ 1500 2100 2200 and etec 1700 and gws 1300 and see which give the best performance.

the PC-9 is a low wing.. guess it not really suitable for beginner..espically if u fly the plane in a windy condition..

btw..Jethobby's planes something got CG problem.. so better chk the CG yourself even if u follow 100% stock setup..

no la. jethobby planes are fine. just that some models are not really test flown properly and thus the CGs may be somewhat off. its best that you get someone who is more experienced to test the plane and trim it out for you if you are not so experienced. trimming the plane also includes finding the correct cg. there are many methods to do this too.

haven't maidened mine yet cuz haven't mounted the motor. lazy lah, no mood to build. then also realised that the plane is totally not to scale! see a pic of a real pc 9 and you will know why.

the pc 9 in the attached pic is the one that the jethobby kit is modelled after.
see the reg number.

haiya don't give up la. get another one?
i think its a really nice plane and such planes are hard to come by.

......guys dont scare me lar......I got 1 too.....half build.....plan to use AXI2212/26 with 1250 3S lipo......hm may be if you guys can share the CG setting .....anyway it is better to set it head heavy for maiden rather than tail heavy.

Scale not that important , as real scale plane is normally very difficult to fly. Lets keep each other update for any finding or test review . Appreciate as that can help to prevent unnecessary loses...

:half build.....

my fren.... time to concentrate on 1 single plane and get it flying first...

so many half builts in ur store room.......
