All that to say you may be onto something.

Interesting thought regarding the wing bolts and your crash. I have a Park Zone Corsair that was flying really nice and but on the last flight the plane was acting really weird in the roll and pitch axis. I got it down and found that one of the wing bolts was missing. I put a new bolt in and she's flying really well again.

What's you opinion on calibrating with the trim all the way down or do you do it at zero position?Originally posted by Ryan@Motion/ryramZ View PostDynam Twin ESC Calibration

Also found if I took the anchor points and glued them to the bottom of their slots it may make the top panel fit flush. The way they only glued them to the top the anchors lifted causing the wing to sit wrong. Gluing them down everything came out clean. Keep in mind post crash sooo yeah... Figured I would test the theory anyway. When my new parts come in those things are getting 15min epoxy before any load is put on them at allComment

My throttle trim is down. Depending on the plane when binding I have noticed that the esc won't arm because of the throttle trim. I have been binding and calibrating esc's with down throttle trim for awhile now.Originally posted by dkalwishky View PostComment

Thanks Ryan, that's what I've been doing. I've read some people don't do it that way saying it's not necessary while others say it is to get the full range of the throttle.Comment

This is how I reinforced the wing attachment. I took some 1/8" ply and foam tac it between the wing mount and reinforced with 1/8" ply around the mount.Comment

UPS man knocked my door at 9:00pm PDT. Good thing I wasn't in bed. I opened up the box and took all the parts out and the B26 appears to be undamaged. If I didn't have work tomorrow I would put it together tonight.

Was tiredirons bird called "reefer madness" or did i read it wrong? The pilot looks a little like cheech. Bet FBO was "labrador". I had one loose piece of lead and one in place. I would not have not have seen the one in place without the heads up from an earlier post,they are quite hidden. Pulled wing off,found pinched but unbroken wires and same pulled up wing mounts, a few loose flap hinges. Read all posts and watched all related videos before i started assembly.

Hey Bob, Got mine on Sat. last week and even though I'm trying to get my Bearcat ready for its maiden, I had to dig in. Started out trying to screw the hor. and vert. fins in from the top, but thanks to Ryan's build vid saw the holes on the bottom of the fuse. From there on all went well. I had her together in a matter of hours. Now on to the electrons. First had to I.D. the servos ala a tester. The numbers on the leads are different than the norm. I decided to not resolder deans plugs on the motor leads and bought a XT60 connector (it'll be the only plane I've done that on.As one of the guys in the thread, not sure if I'm going to use a 3600 or a 4000 for the maiden. Also, going to sub Robart cross threaded tires for those balloons! And weathering! Going to try the water and salt techique but will try it out first on a scrap piece of already painted foam. Paint scheme...going for Flak Bait. Already got my decals from Callie. Haven't looked at the top hatch on the wing to see if it has the same problem that some of the guys have found. Looks like an easy fix.I'm going to wait to maiden her until the repaint. Let me know how yours is coming along. As for bomb bay doors, which I know you love, I'm sure you won't try to do bi-fold doors. Big problem and as you say, who can tell once the plane is in the air. Miss you and Tsukai. See what you've been happening with you guys on the net. Happy landings,Originally posted by borntoolate View Post

I noticed this as well. I tried binding thinking the numbers were conventional - didn't work. Then I used to servo tester to sort it all out. I just figured somebody at the factory was just high on "home grown" when they put those labels on.Originally posted by Bigrc2 View PostComment

The numbers are for futaba, so you have to switch throttle and elevator if flying jr/spektrum. From what I can remember on futaba throttle is 3 and elevator is 2. Ailerons are 1 and rudder is 4. Gear and flaps are still 5 and 6Comment

Hey Adam, Brent here! Got mine Sat. and saw in on the front porch when I got home from the event at Apollo. Big box to say the least. To tried to even open it up, but jumped into it after breakfast on Sun. and had it together except for the top of the wing piece by the afternoon. The biggest deal is the electronics. Was going to us a Lemon rec., but decided on a better one. Ordered Robart cross threaded tires, mains and nose. Paint scheme: Flak Bait; I also had gotten decals from Callie Graphics after the preorder. Looking forward to flying with you. Keep me posted on your build and I'll do the same. Cheers!Originally posted by quitcherbitchen View Post
