RE: Nitroplanes P-38 need suggestions for control throws
[quote]ORIGINAL: tccrab Have acquired a new to me but older Nitroplanes P38 90 sized ARF. I can't find any suggested control throws for this older Nitroplanes ARF. Digging around the archives I located the old assembly manual and it was no help at all. Any help would be appreciated. TomC [/quote] I agree Carlos .If you need a more fine tuned suggestion ram3500-RCU has some specific settings in his build thread on the Nitro P-38 90".http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6913969/mpage_36/key_/tm.htm . #893 . But each model will perform differently so the safe way is what Carlos suggested . I hope this helps.Dan

RE: Nitroplanes 90
Thank you DGM for the most valuable insite on the power plants for this bird. At this time i have TURNIGY C6364 280kv Outrunner with 6s 4400 bats. I have been flight testing them in a Nexstar to see how much vertical power i can get with various props before doing my maiden.These motors may perform better on 10s bats as they are desighned for but with the 6s that i intend to use just does not have the power for a almost 20 lb bird. I am looking into what you have sugested but i think i need to go up to the 1.20 50-65-450 Brushless Outrunner due the the wieght. It has been some time sense i posted any updates on the progress of this P-38 so here are a few pics and vid of my progress so far. I still need to put the finishing touches on her as for invasion stripes and lettering . Thay will have to wait to this winter , but for know i want to maiden her as is . Here is a before and after pic also a few others . Dan

[quote]ORIGINAL: Gonzalo38 I have decided to stop the build of my Corsair and go with the conversion from Hydraulic to Electrical folding wings.

Do downandlocked also make conversions for landing gear ? [/quote] A very good decision Gonzalo38. Mitch and Ron are the best in the bussiness IMO .

RE: Nitroplanes 90
A little update on the progress. Today i got the panel lines layed out and applied . I am useing 1/64" chart tape to create them . The pics below don't realy show them very well but they are there . After laying out the the tape i applied 3 thin coats of primer and two coats of olive drab . I will let this set up over night then pull the tape off and apply one more coat of drab then one coat of clear . And of course wet sanding with 600 grit between each coat.. Also i decided to hide the framework lines on the pod with a few coats of filler. I am planning on getting her as close to completion as i can this week because i have the week off. Also for the scoops on the booms , it was a bit of a challenge to hide the plastic edges but i think i have it well in hand . Next is to put the panel lines on the booms and pod i should have this completed tomorrow.

RE: Nitroplanes 90
I took advantage of the gloomy day today and took the P-38 outside to do more sanding . At first i thought i was ready to apply the pannel lines but not quite yet. I am still pondering on leaving the stringers showing on the pod and boom front tops. While i was sanding the second coat of primer i was thinking maybe i should have put some silver pigment in the LS . i think this would have kept the wieght down a little and gave the same effect as applying aluminum under the primer. Some thing to think about next time . I still need to fill a few spots then i will start the pannel lines . I have on hand 1/32" chart tape . I have never used this method before but this entire build is a on going experiance for me . Dan

RE: Nitroplanes 90
Finally got off my duff and got some painting done . First i got all the interiors and hatch doors painted with Zinc Chromate primer. this went very well and looks great. Moved onto covering her exterior with grey primer. First i put one thin coat on all components then sanded everything down with 600 grit. Now all the imperfections show up that i didn't see earlier. Simply apply filler in the areas needed and sanded them out . Then put a second thin coat of primer on . Now IMO she looks very smooth. The LS coating i put on her really covered well . and saved allot of time and i will use this again. I am very satisfied at this point now i can apply the panel lines and other details . Also i need to detail the turbo hatches . This To see spelling suggestions, click this word P-38 will fly this summer . I hope everything works out for you Bob . I am still looking for a new canopy for this P-38 and still no luck. Dan
