Official Freewing 64mm Lippisch P.15 Thread

Nice job! I like the grin on that pilot. Seems appropriate!

Had to repaint the cockpit to a color closer to scale... Used Model Master RLM66 Schwarzgrau. Also did a recess in the foam with the dremel for a "cockpit" and added a German Stuka gunner from The Ultimate Soldier toys. 1/18th scale. Touched up the frame with RLM 83 Dark Green from Hataka Paints. I am installing the A3-L gyro with a Spektrum 610 receiver. Should fly great!!!!

Looks like I should have done my homework a little more thoroughly before suggesting using a 12 blade fan in this little bird. It requires a battery too big and heavy to be practical for anything other than quick up and down, missile-like flights if it would fit at all. I'd much rather go the other way with longer wings to make it a more practical flatland soaring bird for less hectic flying. You can google "ME163 over Barcelona" to see what one Spanish modeler made a scrat5ch-built 163 into.

TiredIronGRB, wow that is a lot of reduced throw on the controls. That is good to know. Have you flown with a larger 2200mah battery?

No, I'm getting a solid 5 minutes on the 1800 and that's blasting it pretty good...I think I can get 7 minutes or more slow FPV flying with it. I'm going to get another one for FPV and put a Runcam Split system in the cockpit area and can the canopy, I may run a 2200 in it.

Thanks! Mixes are new to me. :) Mine showed up yesterday, tomorrow is build day and then Saturday will be a flying day with it.

[TiredIronGRB]

So to turn the mix on you have to throw switch A? It's not part of the throttle curve?

Right, I set it up as a standard mix (bench test before flying).

Day 600: I got several more flights on the P-15 today, before you guys start upgrading the power system please fly it...this thing is extremely fast but it will cruise around very slow with 1/4 throttle or less. I was thinking last night about how it wants to dive with WOT on I've been playing with throttle aileron mixing and have it at 15% and it seems to eliminate it. The pics below show my setup for the mix (plane is setup as a delta wing on the transmitter not on the receiver). I also tamed down the ailerons some more.

Well I am hoping mine will be here by Saturday but if not it gives me time to look at everything about this plane.

Ordered yesterday. 13 hours later .................... shipped.

I ordered mine 6pm on 3/12 and NO WORD on mine.. that is really odd - paid but unfulfilled.. so I just emailed them..that is not normal from Motion RC to not send something to me.

I ordered my P.15 Sunday evening and it will be here Wednesday so that I can have it in the air this weekend. As everyone is stating - that is service!

Can he ship me a rug that will really tie the room together?...Really appreciate the level of service you and your team operate at Brian K. Had my P15 monday afternoon. Just as fast as the crap-ton of products I've ordered the past five years.

So now we all know exactly where to send a box of chocolate!!

Seriously, lets get his name. Who is this amazing guy, the "Bud Knight"? We need to raise a bottle to him. Dilly Dilly!

um... but it may be a Knight of the female persuasion. Which would be terrific of course!

[Hardway]

More....actually...

[Hardway]

He has shipped me a few over the years.............. LOL Or actually, about 7 over the past 30 days....

[Boots Whirlygig]

Pilot Ryan is pretty good, Alpha is alright to, but this is the DUDE!

Totally love this guy!
