New E-Flite AT-6

[rifleman_btx]

And I've seen 4s work in this plane...

I'm finding moving a 2200 3S further back improves handling.

Flew mine several times weekend before last. Ran a 3s 3300 pushed all the way fwd. It needed a touch of down on the elevator. Otherwise it flew great. Only mod so far is I trimmed up the plastic gear leg and added larger Robart tires.

That looks awesome Ryan. Love the details.

Here's a few of mine.

Very much worth it,,:Cool: with the high winds here in Texas..I have 3 other e flite planes with 60amp ESC and 4s 4000 lipos and they are a blast to fly in the winddy conditions, and even more fun on calm days..They drawl about 50 amps at full throttle at anywhere between 850-1000 watts, my timer is set for 6 mins and I will have 25 to 30% llipos charge after a flite of mostly full throttle...Mantis 65 amp ESC have been most efficient for me..Just my .02

Worth experimenting to find out...

It partly depends on your favorite flying style and prevailing wind conditions.
around here wind can be a big factor. Its almost: "If you can't fly in wind you can't fly in Texas."

First flight of my first Dynam P-51 the wind owned it (OEM RTF package 2000 mah 3S) I just slid a second 2000 mah 3S in there, not even hooked up and it helped tons. I eventually ended up flying it mostly on 4S 3000 mah because the weight really helped (and the extra power is nice too)

looks like by watching the flite video above, I will be able to do my normal E-flite 1.2 mods 60amp ESC with a 4s4000 lipo..

Is the extra weight worth it?

My favorite warbird! I have one on the way from Motion RC. On my first trip to Oshkosh Air Venture many years ago I was astounded to see a gigantic flight of Texans and I have been hooked ever since. I have flown the Top Flite AT6, Midwest AT6, and Ziroli AT6. I'm looking forward to many flights on this plane when the spring thaw come to Minnesota!

Picked one up over the weekend. Really fun to fly. Were kicking the idea around about pylon racing them in the stock configuration.

I recently picked one of these fine models up at the AMA West convention in Ontario, California....

I'm here to report she's one fantastic flying plane! I'll be shooting more video in the days to come...this one's a keeper for sure:Cool:!

[DonRhone]

Still got her Ryan??
I remember it well, and it does look like a handful.
Hippie 64 (Bryan) had one too, I remember he had some 'fun' with it as well.

Thankfully there was a build video by RC Informer which indicated that this plane needed a lot of weight added. I do not know why that bid of information was not shared by the manufacturer.

I would likely had my hands full with an erratic flying plane if it had not been for RC Informer. The RC Informer build videos were excellent, especially when they contained important information.

[Grossman56]

I do still have it. Hangar Queen status. I'm going to modify the mess out of the eflite one and fly the thing to death. I like that it will be the same size but lighter wing loading.

47 pounds balast lol

Yep, that's one that should be hanging from the ceiling in your house Ryan..

[rifleman_btx]

Yes!

[Pauly]

Looks like a pretty nice AT-6, or SNJ or Harvard, or Whirraway.
Depends on which country you associate the plane with. Interesting tidbit, the Australians even used it as a fighter against the Zeros, which is somewhat ironic as it was used extensively by the movie industry to portray a Zero.

I did not know that!

I had one of those, had to put 47lbs in the nose of it.
