RE: F-5/F-20 Skymaster x Feibao x Jetleng
[quote]ORIGINAL: IFlyEm35 I have no idea what your background is in R/C or what your skill/experience level is. But I can tell you, coming from a boomerang myself, that the Boomers can teach you a lot of bad habits that will become maginfied by a scale jet. I would recommend, if you aren't already, to set up your Boomerang with a fairly aggressive crow set up so you can start using the throttle more on landing. Boomers are one of the easiest planes I have ever landed. An F-5 is on the other end of the spectrum. Not extremely hard, but much more ''jet like'' than the Boomers. If you can swing it I would seriously consider the Flash. It's a real nice stepping stone between the Boomerang and a good flying scale jet. You already have the turbine. You could always pull it out later and sell the Flash (you probably won't once you fly one ;-D) but it's an option. Also what size is your field? You'd be surprised how much runway you will use as you are getting some of the scale jets figured out. [/quote] I have flow a Sprint for one year and have also one year in the Elan. Total of 150 flights. I know I'm in the opposite end so this is the reason I'm here in the RCU. All the reports here making me to think deeply. I also like the Ultraflash. Talking about runway my club has a 600 feet paved runway. It might enough for all jets we are discussing here. Thanks to all of you buddies for the advices.

F-5/F-20 Skymaster x Feibao x Jetleng
I fly a Boomerang Elan for one and a half year and I'm thinking about my first scale jet. I have a passion for the F-5 but it's a jet not so much easy to see around or find information in the forums. Can somebody tell me any info about them like flying caracteristics, scale dentails, overhall quality. I have a Jets-munt Merlin 140 and I intend to use it. Regards

RE: KINGTECH X JETCAT X JETCENTRAL X WREN
Jose, I own a Wren 100 that I simply love. I started thinking about to buy a 14kg/31lbs turbine a few months ago to upgrade the thurst of my Elan and was seriously considering a K-140 or a K-170. Them I've heard about the Wren 140. Now I will wait until end of 2012. Regards,

RE: Futaba GYA351 setup help?
[quote]ORIGINAL: Craig B. [quote]The 352 has the elevon mixer built in. The 351 does not.[/quote] Incorrect...you have it the wrong way around. It is the 351 that has the elevon/ flaperon dual channel capability. The 352 is a dual axis (hence the 2 in the last digit position) but single channel gyro that does not have elevon mixing in it. I have several of both operating in jets atm. [/quote] Craig, I agree with you about 351 beeing able to control flaperons, elevons, ailevator, etc since it is a single axis but dual channel gyro. However the 352 can also control elevons because it has such feature (built in). Just turn a switch in the gyro and it will work as a single axis and each gyro outler will feed one elevon. This is stated in the 352 manual (http://manuals.hobbico.com/fut/gya352-manual.pdf). Mucio

[quote]ORIGINAL: mtnflyer14 This question was asked about ten pages back, but never answered: Where do the small (approx 1'' X 1'') hardwood blocks go? I think two of them have a small notch cut out. They were in the same bag as the infamous doubler. Regards, Gus [/quote] Their purpose is to replace some plastic servo trays. The servo trays, as they come, requires dual receiver channels for aileron e elevator and Y harness for rudder and flaps. By using the wooden tray/block you can use Y harness for aileron and/or elevator.

RE: Which turbine?
As a gentleman said above, there are several excelent good bransds today. I would put in my start list the following ones: Jet Cat, Jet Central, Wren, AMT, Jet-Munts, Kingtech. A decision now would consider thrust/weight ratio (for 3D flight purpose), dealer/service, acquisition/servicing cost. Wren turbines requires bearings change/check at every 50 hours while all other brands require at 25. I like that feature. By the way I have experience with a Wren 100. 22 hours on it, incredibly reliable, light, excellent throtle response and good fuel comsunption. However, extremily noisy. But for your needs you would have to wait for the new Wren 180.

RE: Elan Has Arrived!
[quote]ORIGINAL: jblloyd I know this has been addressed somewhere in this thread but I can't seem to find it so I'll ask it again ... I am using DreamworksRC Pro-Link landing gear in my Elan.  The nose gear seems to be a little short and, although I have added a 1/2'' shim under it, I am still about 1 1/2'' from being level.  The plane seems to take a longer time to get to speed and rotate than other Elans that I have seen.  Do most of you fly with negative incidence in the nose?  I would like to have it level but adding another 1 1/2'' under the gear will just about bring the gear outside of the fuselage.  [/quote] jblloyd, Sounds strange your nose leg seems so short. My Elan has rotart straight struts and is a bit nose down when fuel tank is empty. After refueling is stays leveled. Have you checked if your nose strut has the right length. Dreamworks website has the dimensions. Another check you can do is how close is the nose wheel from the steering servo. Mine almost touch the servo when retracted. There another thread here (http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9883219/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm) and pictures of my assembly is from page 6 and on. A have also posted my assembly in portuguese language (http://www.e-voo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=132082&start=125&postdays=&postorder=asc&highlight=).

RE: BOOMERANG ELAN - New Build & Setup Thread!
I hung up mine also upside down in the booms. If I move the CG far than it is today (and possibly remove the shim) it will not stay leveled on ground.... In fact the trailing links help to keep it leveled on ground.

[quote]ORIGINAL: BaldEagel I know that is what you have, I just wondered how you found it as you where flying, did you feel it was nose heavy or tail heavy? I moved the C of G a long way back from the recommended, in fact the tail sat on the ground and did not move back onto the main wheel, this I found the be the sweet spot for me. Mike [/quote] Mike, After finished it was balanced at 25cm. I flew twice and no problems but lots of trim up. Then I added some few weight to the booms (around 50 grams) and then the CG moved to 24cm. Also added a 2mm shim to the backwards horizontal stab screw. I flew it again and it remained good and no more trim up. Mucio Now the movie is ok http://youtu.be/drUC3fIdL-4
