Yep v7 gear doors stay down

[Ron1950]

picked up ferocious frankie V7 the other day from a friend that had never flown it ,,,just sat in his garage for few years...had to get the elevators to match as they were off from each other maidened it Thursday and found its the slowest plane in the air lol... 4258 on order 85 amp esc and 6s I hope will pick it up in speed...

does the v7 inner gear door stay open when the gear is down? mine does but I see the v8 doesent...

Anyone here had an issue with the rear landing gear? Mine has come loose it seems. Have not torn into it yet but the pivot pin is not inside the control horn or opening. The gear itself moves up and down 1/4 inch or more allowing it to slip out of the white control box. Before I take it out..any advice?

I'm new here, but I've got a problem. I was given the Petie2nd v8 as a gift for my graduation, and upon assembly and everything... the flaps don't work. The left flap 'tries' to do something but it just stutters a bit after first trying to minimally move towards a full retract position. No changes to it achieves anything so I suspect there's a problem with the motor. The right flap does nothing, and isn't getting any power at all, as I can easily move it when the plane is 'on'.

Try bypassing the multiconnector module. That may be the culprit. Otherwise yes the servos have failed. But I've seen on other planes where these multiconnectors have failed causing plenty of issues rather than the servos themselves. Just an idea to try as a trouble shooting pointer

Thought I might throw a picture in of the "Warsaurus" in the Redtail.

I glued mine, was a little too much movement for my liking.

Screws, but I did use foam filler in the gaps on BBD.

When building the til section. Do folk glue the rudder and elevator. Or just use the screws ... thanks

I have a question, this one or the freewing? It'll be a couple months before I pull the trigger on a P51.

[Grossman56]

I hear you Daryl!
Imagine the nightmare when I changed out the motors in the Tigercat. This one's reversed, no this one, no it WAS this one, now which prop was that???:Silly::Silly::Silly:
And, it actually went well!!
I check the direction before mounting the motor so I know its the correct ..
