It wil work in the plane I see no problem based on the size of the receiver. Your CG will be about the same and because it is a micro it will not be a real problem for you.

Yup, a plane small enough for the park!

 sonnydc 117 points

This plane will be ok. But you must first try to fly it on very low rates as it might be too touchy. I suggest to set the elevator and ailerons in low rates at around 10-12 degrees and the rudder at 12-15 degrees. Put your expo to 50. Also, never try to cut the power while in flight for it will stall and dive.

Yes its 4 channel.

Yes it's a 4ch.

El procedimiento es encender con el stick de gas a tope y esperar a escuchar unos pitidos, bajar el stick y esperar los pitidos otra vez desconectar la batera y cuando la conectemos otra vez ya tendremos freno activado o desactivado.


The procedure is to turn the throttle stick to stop and listen for beeps, off the stick and wait for the beeps again when you disconnect the battery and connect it again and will brake on or off.

Motor is easily removable without any cutting or foam surgery. Just make a small hole with a screwdriver on the top of the nose, in the small groove just behind the red on the nose. remove the small phillips screw on the top of the motor mount, and pull the motor forward, and out. Easy! :)

Box and foam weigh alot more than the plane.

This is not as strait forward as it sounds, how exactly do you propose to alter the angle of attack please?

 Tryin2fly 263 points

Alan,
Like i said it was just a thought but in building planes from scratch (blue foam w/hot wire)I have found that if a plane does the up down up dowm thing and I cant get it to trim out I can some time shim the leading or trailing edge or both where they meet the fuse, to get a good flyer but these are all scratch built and takes a lot of test flights to get it right maybe angle of attack is not the correct term but like I said what do I know. Thats is what the hobbys is all about for me anyway,trying new ideas and having fun.Keep flyin !!!

 fanny 511 points

I think your right Tryin2fly, reducing the angle of attack is best practice long term ,and compared to building from scratch fairly strait forward. If adjusting the the elevater down doesn't fix it i will probly do this.By the way, where can i get scratch? my hobby shop hasn,t heard of it?(Sorry thats an ancient joke)Happy flying. alan

Alan,
Lmao yeah you have to go to the right hobby shop *0 to get it but I used to get mine from the kitty next door(can anybody say Ted) Oh man I think Iam tellin my age I guess Iam ancient too!! ah Keepem Flyin! :)

 fanny 511 points

IMHO These cheap low wing warbirds are never as easy or fun to fly as the more expensive Parkzone style planes. You will need to do a fair bit of "fettling" to get these to work predictably and reliably. Even then they will be a handfull for the itermediate pilot.

 fanny 511 points

Corection. with a few flights under my belt and some minor issues sorted this is now my favourite warbird plane to fly.

This plane has no bad habits. You need to be careful with the stock motor. 3s lipos will burn it out. It is easily replaceable though. The plane requires a little trimming or a little nose weight. I say either/or because on my maiden I noticed it was quite tail heavy (even with 3s 1300 lipo). I was able to trim it and fly it no problem. The next flight, I had weighted the nose a bit - about 100 grams maybe... Anyway, it flew fine with control surfaces at neutral. (Not really sure anymore how much weight I added, but it isn't hard to figure out. I just put it right on the underside of the red engine cowl. Also, when I replaced the motor (I put in the same motor they use in the HK Corsair and p51 because I had a spare on sitting around), I simply cut with a razor two rectangular pieces of the red cowl on either side. Allowed lots of room to work and glued back in so you can't even tell. The new motor fit right into the stock motor mount.This plane has no bad habits for sure. You'll love it.

yes there is just enough room, However I never flew with one I didn't get that far. it does fit great though!

 fanny 511 points

IMHO I think you will strugle to get a 2200 in and it might be overweight for this.I had to carefully sand away some of the battery-bay floor to get my 1500 in. Forcing them might split the foam.

 vaida32 93 points

Yes, there appears to be a some sort of reinforcing rod running inside the underside of the wing roughly from where landing gear is from one side to the other

no creo que sea necesario pues la evergadura es pequea

 fanny 511 points

IMHO Most of these fire wall mounted motors will come loose without some "locktight"style mods. Check motor for tightness before each flight. The CG on this plane will be a third of the cord (wing width) back from the leading edge. This is the conventional formular, though the elyptical wing may make this a little nose heavy (better than tail heavy). To fine tune CG get up to a good height and try gliding in calm air so that engine torque is elinated. If you get this right, any bad trim under power is going to be down to incorect motor side/down thrust. Geting all this right takes a lot of stress out of landing. Hope this helps

 fanny 511 points

By the way Michael, did you have to carve the nose up to change the motor? looks tricky with a moulded cowl

 Tangermean 7 points

yea I ended up cutting the red ring off basically and taping it back on looked great you really couldnt tell it had been done. I fought for over 20 flights trying to get the CG correct by using the CG formula. I added weight to the tail and then took it all off and added to the nose and no matter what I did the plane required full trim on the horizontal and a little down elevator on the stick as it would pitch straight up. I adjusted the thrust angle and that didn't seem to help either. I have repaired from the last crash (tough tough tough bird!!! I have had about 10 bad crashes) and will start to mess with it again once I am not frustrated with it anymore!

 fanny 511 points

I just got mine Michael and have writen more down below. IMHO These cheap low wing warbirds are not as nice to fly as the Park Zone ones. Please see below....

 fanny 511 points

IMHO, Great static model to hang in lounge!Plenty of power with a 8" prop fitted. CG ok. Conopy magnet not adequate to secure.( you don't want to lose this, especial as they are often closely followed by battery....)!) Screw in aft elevater clevis to lower elevater trim. Lots of downthrust but no sidethrust on motor and adjustment will be dificult to achieve, even with major foam surgery. Move aleron clevise's to inner holes on servo arm ( drilling required)to reduce role rate ( just while we get the"feel" of it.) Then wait for calm weather and no one around. Gain as much altitue as you can before atempting any manouvers (3 mistakes high hould do it)Good luck

 fanny 511 points

Just out of interest Michael, what other rc planes have you flown?

 fanny 511 points

( another Alan posably?)Of course not, where's is the fun in flying them, this forum is for speculation

 fanny 511 points

The 2 blade prop should be more efficient and cheaperto replace.

 fanny 511 points

You have to spin your head fast to count blades when engine going

 jabiru 26 points

sorry that was weight

 fanny 511 points

I just got mine.(7 Days) Looks Awesome. I Painted inside of cockpit black and added a cardboard profile pilots head before fitting canopy.Plenty of space for 3 cell lipo. Jug belly looks perfect for landing on. Decided to lose wheels (rather small) and to fix rudder and remove the servo and pushrod. Hole created by missing servo provides better route for deans type plug from Speed controler below. Left spinner off as not realistic and "sheilds" motor from air flow. The 10" props provided (2)are too big for motor (gets hot) so i have replaced with 8" and runs cooler. Pity as 10" makes more sense with the radial cowl. Made extra air vents with hot screw driver for battery tray and air exit holes along the back of tray and along bottom of fusalge,(Like PZ Spitfire) (air needs to get out for a decent flow). Not sure the magnet secuing the cockpit will sufice. Also can't get to engine (for locktite) without seriouse foam surgery. (Bet it comes loose) Blowing a gale now of course so i will report again after flight.

 Hardtail 28 points

It is small and it does work, at least in normal flight circumstances. I still can't get it to spin, but I can get my Corsair to spin either and it has a huge rudder.

 jabiru 26 points

why do they put the stars on top of both wings?
any fool knows the americans put the star on top of the left wing and the bottom of the right, single point up and forward....still a cheap model even with freight

If you look at the unasembled picture it show the decals are on a sheet still (you put them on yourself)a good thing in my opinion. Their photographer is admitedly not an airplane guy/girl and most likley thought it look prettier, more symetrical with both stars on top.

 fanny 511 points

Why did real American WW2 planes only put stars on one wing? couldn't have been concerned about camoflage as they mostly didn't have any. maybe they were short on decals.

 fanny 511 points

Yes Elias, all the joys of Guanli/Venom. Does fly well though, with a few little glitches ironed out.

 Hardtail 28 points

I believe it's manufactured by a company called Tian Sheng.
