How about an Airliner?

It was a handful, I will try and find it’s maiden video

Hey that is pretty cool, looks like the stock eflite setup. How did it fly any videos?

Airliners are a "special" category for sure. The "Connie" is definitely the gal to be emulated. Just for notation, I wanted to add yet another "diabolically declined" jet aircraft that came from "The Great White North". It was the Avro C-102 Jetliner. Debuting in 1949, two weeks after the deHavilland Comet. The Jetliner was North America's first commercial jet. Howard Hughes declared a purchase order to buy 30 for his TWA operation. Then, horribly, like the Avro Arrow; The Canadian Feds chopped the funding and ordered the C102 scrapped in favour of the CF100 Canuck Fighter Interceptor. Obviously a highlighted lesson that Governments shouldn't be involved in airplanes! Totally nuts!!!

years ago I mounted 2 of those edf’s on the wing of the Eflite super cub. Search modified Eflite super cub on google and YouTube .

Dear Friends, and update for today.

aircraft#52 "Tengarang Airlines Flight 911"

Hope everything is well, the tengarang airlines 911 is making way and almost ready to go. Will need some cosmetic work on the inboard nacelles later but she is essentially ready to go just need to button her up a bit and do some last functional test.

Today we have measure again all 4 nacelles individually and then together all at once.

I am happy with the 3s setup on average we get ~430 watts to the nacelles "un-shared " load, at an average under load of 11.6V which is 500mV above 11.1V nominal which means at 3s the battery is happy.

If i combine the 4 nacelles we loose bout 41% total efficiency at 1000 Watts which gives ~10V underload, this is 1.1V under the nominal i would like to see on the static ground test but its close enough the battery is struggling abit, which means i will consider checking how this plane will handle two 4000mah 3s 55C packs. If the CG is good then i will consider going this route for the maiden flight as the extra capacity will for sure raise the 10.1V under load above the 11.1V nominal.

Start Test

Measure Idle voltage: 12.49V

Test data Engine 1: 37A. 430watts 11.62V

Measure Idle voltage: 12.43V

Test data Engine 4: 37A. 429watts 11.59V


Measure Idle voltage: 12.43V

Test data Engine 3: 37A. 432watts 11.675V

Measure Idle voltage: 12.36V

Test data Engine 2: 37A. 432Watts 11.675V

Measure Idle voltage: 12.35V

Engine 1-2-3-4 Together: 99A 1000watts 10.01V

End Test

I must have gotten lucky, my 340 has four sets of retractable gear. The extra is in the middle of the belly in between the wing retracts.

Yep like mine too

Looks like HSD is stepping it up.

i hope its a beta version, as the undercarriage is no where resembling the jumbo jet. However i am now Very worried about real estate and my wallet....haven't bought a plane in 9 months.... the bladder is getting awfully full

[Woodcock]

Wish I had a high res pic of that, I might just print that frame it and hang in my office. Welcome Pete! We have a C-130 on the way, and you can get a C-17 at HSDGO.com.

Best Regards

Hey Woody, I agree with you that the Connie is one of the best-looking airplanes ever. Even messed up with all that extra stuff stuck on it, the EC121 still looks pretty good.... I saw "Save-a-Connie's" TWA Super-G restoration several years ago at Cleveland and it was spectacular. Maybe its not as large as some modern jetliners but it looks very large when you're next to it... you can walk under it with feet to spare (jets are usually a lot lower to the ground) and those giant props look like windmills! But I guess its all a matter of your own perspective, like you said. Regardless---- this would make an absolutely spectacular model.

Hi Pete,

Welcome to HS glad to have you here with us.

[Twowingtj]

Welcome to the Squawk Pete! I like your train of thought. Even a C-141 or a C-5 would be nice. The landing gear on those would be a challenge to make though.

[Hardway]

Welcome Pete!!! Glad to have you on board!!! Have a great week!!! Jerry

[Pete Watson]

Hi HS as a new member to the HS community I would like to propose a Lockheed Martin C130J Super Hercules or a Boeing C17 Globemaster 111

Update some progress made this afternoon.

some gorilla glue was used to fill in the empty cavities of the nacelle to stiffen the structural integrity of the older Eflite foam....
Tomorrows activity will entail parts placement and routing of the ESC and wire length matching.

Well MD, each person is entitled to their own prospective mate. Having flown larger planes & helicopters most of my professional life, I just think they look much larger in pictures. You, and Aros both posted pictures of Super Constellation's. Very early on in my Flying Carrier, (I was 18) I actually flew a run out Super Constellation, a former TWA Super Connie as a matter of fact, wasn't as pretty as the one Aros posted though, as with all fire planes of that day it was pretty used up. But it flew, used a tone of oil, I spent most of my spare time cleaning oil, and oiling up the engines. They're a really beautiful plane, (I think they're one of the most beautiful planes ever made). If we had a little prospective, say we pulled a garden verity South West Airlines 737 up next to it, you'd see what I mean. If you see one parked next to a DC-3, well Connie is a little bigger, "meaning not super constellation" but not much. Put tricycle gear on a DC-3, add 2 engines, they would look about the same size, but Connie would be just a bit bigger. I posted these pictures a while back, I had to take a Private Jet, to Scranton Penn., We stopped in Selena Kansas. I saw this on the way there, and made sure and took a few shots on the way back. Ya have to zoom in closely. I wish I had time to go look at it, but we were on a tight schedule. Flight line operator said they had been working on it for 10 years. To me, "at least" I always thought a Lockheed Electra looked and felt a lot bigger. I do love this plane though. I think if Motion & Flightline made one of these it would be awesome.

PS you have to look closely, I wasn't very close. You can zoom in quite a bit get a better view, looked in really good shape from what I could see,
