Hi again.

Finally I have bought this plane. The problem now is that the battery connection of the plane doesnt fit with my batteries (which have XT60 connection).
Would somebody be so kind to tell me the connector/plugs that I have to buy? (I dont know the name of the planes battery connection.

Many thanks

Hi guys.
Altrhough I have experience with RC planes, I am new on electrical planes (which means I am absolutely idiot about electricity).
I like this He-162. What battery would you reccomend me to put on it?.

Thank you very much

I was wondering about the wing mounting on this plane, I'm sure that with a good glue it will be fine but was thinking that adding a CF spar through the fuselage and 2-3" into each wing might not be a bad idea.

Any thoughts?

Just use 30min epoxy. You don't want any extra weight with this plane. Make sure you get the epoxy into all the nooks on the fuslage.

Check out the build review on R.C. Groups at: ***********rcgroups****/forums/showthread.php?t=945957 Shows how to fit in a C/F spar into the wing and also how to get more thrust out of the EDF unit by fitting a narrower thrust tube. This makes for excellent hand launches and you can then save weight by ditching the landing gear.

They say no one can fly this without crashing it. So you have to ask yourself, do I feel lucky?

Ha, funny. I was just watching a show about various German planes from WWII and they said pretty much the same thing! Heaven forbid a pilot forgot what he was in and tried to "bail out"!!!
   Thunderbolt2 (79%)
It and a few other German a/c in WWII (such as the DO335) had ejection seats.

This looks interesting exept I'm alergic to EDF. Too many trees and not enough sky in my park. The prototypes were meant to be simple to fly for "rooky" pilots, but that hardly seams likely to have been the case. Hard to train or test fly once you've lost air superiority over your country.I wounder if anyone survived ejecting from this or the Do335. Anyone got video of this model in action?
   Keith (50%)
Been there done that twice now. Putting the nose back together now. Makes for a great puzzle!

If you are hgoing to be carying planes with that fan (EDO 64) you should cary rotors or spare fans. I comes in th eprofile jets with a 4600kv and I was only getting 1.5-2 hours out of a rotor. That setup made enough power and the clolets make them easy to change as long as I could order spares i wouldnt care if i had to change them. This has a 4300 so the might hold up better.

Great I have just finished the old Kavan version of this plane which was a nightmare to make!!!!

What kind of foam did you use?

Robbie (82%)
on next planes can you include a zoomed picture of the canopy? It's good to understand the trasparency of plastic for fpv and see details of the cabin to understand how to mount the camera.

Thanks

Dare I ask, what kind of foam is it?
   snappy (87%)
I think its foamy foam, made from foam
   Fugitive_Bill (76%)
Gee Snappy, that was a snappy responce! :)

The foam looks like EPS but feels somehow tougher. A nice feature is that the nacelle is mounted with two screws and has a removeable panel on the bottom for access to the fan / motor, great for servicing.

Nicely made, and a good value. Tracked straight, good power on stock setup... looked like a winner until I tried to turn or change power... I'm sure its just me, but after to big crashes, I just can't fly this thing after take off. I could hand launch it or ROG no problem, but any change in throttle caused wild pitch changes. I tried cg mods, but just can't get it to fly right. Anybody figure this one out? If so, what is your cg from the inboard leading edge of the wing? I'll try another one if I can figure it out....

Nicely made, but like spinetti says, it tracked straight although with a nose up attitude.
Tried some down-trim on the elevator and that helped some (although it makes the elevator create lift in itself and that is not good).
I also experienced the wild pitch changes when changing the throttle setting, but found out after the first crash tha I had to put in a other type of receiver.
That helped, but it did still have som nasty tendencies.
Also the same nose up attitude.
I won't bother to try flying it again,and suspect that the real cause for wild pitcihing (glitch) is noise from the regulators switching circuitry .
Toss the regulator away before you try to fly this plane, and do a chekc of the wing-taiplane angles.

I will try building a new airplane from scratch in my own design.
