Jan 1, 2015. Many thanks
to all of you who have
made such nice,
appreciative comments.
I'll try to address some
of the questions that
have been raised. <br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
The most frequent
question seems to be
about its flying
capabilities, and the
request for a video. I
can assure you it has
flown a number of times,
sometimes quite well,
and witnessed by
probably a dozen people,
including some of the
major names in micro
model aviation. However,
it is not consistent. On
the one hand it has done
ROGs (Rise Off Grounds),
wheels up, flown around,
fired machine guns,
flaps down, wheels down,
landed, and taxied back
to the flight line.
Other times I just can't
get it into the air.
Hand launches have been
more consistent than
ROGs, but the first few
tenths of a second are
critical. If I can get
past an initial tip
stall then it flies
well. On the several
occasions when I have
prepared for making a
video it has not flown
successfully. Maybe
pilot nerves. I am
planning to make more
flight attempts, and
will try again to get a
video. On the other hand
the precursor, a four
channel Spitfire, flies
extremely consistently,
with reliable ROGs and
many flights, but it is
much lighter.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
Someone asked if the
flaps make much
difference - I believe
they do allow it to fly
a little slower, which
is good, because with
the flaps up it has to
fly very fast or it goes
unstable. Another
question was flight
times. I have never
flown it until the
battery caused it to
come down, but I believe
four or five minutes is
about the limit.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
There have been
questions about
construction details.
Last year I wrote a
couple of papers about
the internals. These
were combined into a
single paper for Model
Aviation magazine, and
were published in the
October 2014 issue. I
have now put the
original papers onto my
website at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mnewell.rchomepage.com/Techniques/Warbirds_at_1-100_Scale_Part_1.pdf">http://mnewell.rchomepage.com/Techniques/Warbirds_at_1-100_Scale_Part_1.pdf</a>
and

Another recurring
question has been
whether these planes are
available for sale. I'm
afraid not, at least,
not from me. If I did
offer them for sale
nobody would pay what I
would ask. Each of these
planes took me about a
year to develop and
complete. While making a
copy would be much
quicker there is still a
huge amount of work
involved.<br class="">
