Official Freewing 64mm Lippisch P.15 Thread

Mine has shipped!!! I have a lot of 3S 2200, so I am wondering how piggy it will fly with the larger size battery?

Ha, there is room to move it back to hit cg. It will be fine, just fast. Oink oink

[tclaridge]

I don't mind a little faster and a higher wind load. Plus the climb may suffer, but as long as the CG is good, it sounds like it should be fine. Again, I like fast!

Mine arrived today. It took about twice as long to get it out of the box, as it did to put it together!! (That's MRC's terrific packaging for you) I had about 12 inches of space on my workbench so, no problem. I just needed to move the bombs out of the way!

Perfect!

This looks like a quick build. Can't wait.

It arrived today! Super fast shipping!! In great shape. No time available to build today..... :P

A cup of coffee and an hour in the AM and she will be ready to fly, gyro and all!!

Got the P-15 today, took about 15 minutes to put it together including installing the Admiral 6ch receiver and setting up the radio, after the Foam-Tac cured a couple hours I took it out and flew it. I really like my F-8 and F-105 but the P-15 is a whole different story...it is crazy fast and stable but be careful doing rolls on high rate as it's hard to see when it gets out there. To help with orientation I repainted it in a fantasy livery and added some leftover decals, I did the underside in flat gray and just masked over the factory decals.

Nice....JG26 at the Tiger meet!

Some more ideas...

Mine will be here tomorrow, for those that have it can you answer a question for me?

Are the two wing servos Y'ed together and then plugged into the elevator or aileron spot in the receiver? I know the transmitter will get set up as a delta wing.

One plugs in the aileron and the other plugs into the elevator.

I pulled the trigger tonight! Will order the landing gear hopefully when they come back in stock.

A stupid little 5-minute unboxing and assembly video.

Thanks, I really like that look, I have a HSD J-10 I plan to do the same way.

Not much of a build is it?

Can't wait!!

How much of a build? It literally takes longer to take it out of the box!! :)

You insert the CF tube. Then apply glue to the wing, insert the connector wire, and stick the wing on. Then glue the other wing, insert the wire, and stick it on. Then glue the rudder on.
I just inserted the antenna (didn't glue that) and pooof ... done.. There are only 5 pieces including the antenna and fuselage. Super-easy.

Actually it took me longer to get the wires into the channel through the fuselage, they were being a bit stubborn. That increased my build time (and blood pressure) by 83%., but I got over it.

There was a Belgian F104 that was painted like TI's model. It was saved for a museum. I've always liked this scheme and I painted my F-104 this way.

You know...I have a F-104:Confused: However I want to paint my J-10 like this first. It takes a while to hand paint the black stripes.
