Hey Fuse,

Thanks for dropping by today, was fun to have you with us all at PFW discussing gliders and F5B!

OOPs

Hey guys ,
Kontronik came back to me and replacing my 480 with a real beast since I burnt the 480 with 6s. They r giving me a 500-26. Which means on 6s it needs a 15x15 RFM prop. Anyone have a couple to spare?
PM me pls

Just checked clearance for prop on my wilco...max is 14.5 and that is maxed..anywhere in world have 14X18? hehe

dont run 5s on the cc125 or cc180. Most of them cant take it. Especially when our weather is hot and humid. Keep at 4s max and it will serve u well. At the speed u are going , its way above any normal planes. Do not push it further. What u need is a twisted prop for more speed.

Ok, hear you.

Twisted yoke you meant? I had a few suggestions which is as follows:

- 17X18
- Twisted Yoke

5s will be a problem for the fuse anyway lol. Prop change might make more sense.

congrats. very very nice :-)

Thanks Eric!





Now I think this ship passed the initial maiden tuning phase. I will be looking at the following changes to optimize it further.

- Snap Flap adjustment for quick 180 turns.
- 5s config on existing setup to go nearer its full potential

There's always next season man. Get yourself a nice plane off season, promise yourself to buid it during off season, mothball the project until the wind starts and then rush to finish it. Happens to slopers every season hehe...

Yup ! ...rushed job and I ended up kicking myself for the mistakes made but too late to rectify until the season ends !

Next season, I'm going to start preparing immediately after the end of this season ! ...Maybe mid to late April

Yar, exactly what Joe said, remove the prop and motor and go slope kekeke.

I saw your post about the 17knots wind, I am not sure if Singapore has got that kind of environment to do that kind of dynamic sloping. Anyhow, honestly, I have been looking through a few F3F for quite a while already, just not quite ready to jump the gun yet keke.

Hi Edmond,

One of us who flew F5B few years ago got bored with one of his F5B plane and he uses it for slope and it flies very well.

current world-record at 399mph (642km/hr). http://www.vimeo.com/8356047

You should try slope again and maybe aim for the fastest plane speed in Singapore since no prop plane including F5D can match the speed of F3F.

For Bushnell radar gun, need to aim directly at flight path to get good reading so a safer method is to modify the trigger with long wires so that you can do the scanning at a safer distance.
