Just got a new plank....for the intervals!!

[Vic.P]

It's been a while since my Sebart Sukhoi piled in and i've been itching to get a replacement for the intervals between charging my 6 cells for the Trex.
So, yesterday i picked up a Sebart Sebach 342 30e and i've just finnished putting it together for a maiden tomorrow if the weather is ok..........I could have had a red-yellow-black version but i thought this one was a bit more patriotic :)......just needs a Union jack somewhere.......

ooo very nice, enjoy it!

I've being looking at the extreme flight electrics for something slightly mad...

but in the end the N5 won :)

very nice :) just picked up a sebart katana 30 from a club member looking forward to getting it into the air :)

3s or 4s in that one ??

At the moment i'm set up for 3 cell and i'm using a slightly underpowered A30-14L motor which i had with the Sukhoi (also underpowered). I'll be upgrading it to the A30-10XL soon when i need the extra power for prop hanging etc.
The recommended set up is Hacker A30-10XL, Jeti Master basic 55amp esc (i have a 60 amp Flight tech) and 2100 3s or 2500 3s (i'm using TP 2600 and 2700 and FP EONX 2450) with 15 X 8 apc prop.
All up weight less battery is 1,400g so should fly fine with my current set up :)

You'll enjoy that one!! What power set did it come with?
I have a spare Hacker Xpro 40 amp esc and will soon have a spare Hacker A 30-14L when i get the recommended A30-10XL.
The A30-14L and Xpro 40 are the recommended ones for the Katana and they worked pretty well with my Sukhoi even though it should have had the 55amp esc and A30-10XL motor.

It came with the recommended hacker motor and esc just needs servos and an rx are you going to get some video of the maiden flight?

You should be fine then, it's a great set up and sooooo whisper quiet in flight..... it just breezes along :) Stick some Hitech 65 MG's on it, especialy the elevator and rudder if you use the 3D rates.

Yep, i hope to get a vid of the maiden, just depends on someone else turning up at the field (there's only 4 of us) and preferably one that knows how to use my 7D in video mode otherwise i'll have to let my bro maiden it while i video it......hmmmmm :)

I too am putting together a Sebart ARTF at the moment.

I've got an Angel 50E with nitro conversion kit. I've got Spektrum DS821 servos all round, a LiFe 6.6V battery supply (never tried a LiFe one before) and a well run in YS63 with Hatori 640/643 exhaust system.

I've basically got the same servos and engine/pipe as this fella here -> [url]http://www.niccolo-nassi.it/angel.wmv[/url] :)

This picture was taken yesterday. You can see the engine mount conversion sitting on the bench under the left wing. This is now all installed and fuel proofed as of this evening, with the exhaust cut into the fuse the same as the one in the video.

Only frustrating thing for me is that I'll be unlikely to fly it before about March/April next year when the ground dries out and our strip gets its first cut of grass. :(

Lookin very nice!!!!, shame you'll have to wait so long to maiden it :( You could just wait till the ground freezes and stomp yourself a strip :D
We're lucky because we use a footy field and the club keep it well mown for the season and it's on fairly high ground so tends to stay pretty dry, only downside is they like to play footy on it at weekends.

[Vic.P]

The flying field was full of pesky footy players today so i had to cancel the maiden flight :(
So, i've taken the day off work tomorrow (Self employment comes in handy sometimes :) :) ) and the forecast is looking good, light winds and bright spells if the Met office are to be believed. As for a vid of the maiden, with the others in work i'll be on me tod tomorrow but i may set up the camera on a tripod, stick my wide angle on it and see what i can get.

A 50cc Sbach sounds very nice indeed and yep, they are lovely looking planes.
I have been drooling over the Hanger 9 Carden Yak54 for ages and may have to bite the bullet sometime next year.......when funds allow :)
