Paper model Mustang P-51D

I have already written about how to make a radio-controlled model Mustang P-51D. Today I found a paper model of a Mustang P-51D. This model is easy to make. Print the drawings of papers model and cut them and glue. Download the drawings model of Mustang P-51D here

Manual for TURNIGY Multi-F DC Watt Meter 75A

TURNIGY Multi-F DC Watt Meter 75A ( TRWM75 ) from hobbycity.com TRWM75 is a good Watt Meter. I thing it's perfect for the price. I can do tested motors at different speeds without using my transmitter and I can get approximate flight times. Instruction manual for TURNIGY Multi-F DC Watt Meter 75A

Mig 29 - Plans paper model

It's Fulcrum. In Russia it named MiG-29. MiG-29 - a Soviet fighter 4 of that generation You can download the paper model airplane drawings MiG-29here One of the MiG 29 was stolen from the USSR in 1989. Hijackers - Captain Alexander Zuev, poisoned his colleagues cake with drugs, got into the MiG-29 and escaped to Turkey. On this occasion was an international scandal and the MiG-29 to avoid aggravating the conflict situation back in the USSR, but the pilot Zuev granted political asylum in the United States. Unfortunately, by that time SMERSH ceased to exist and Zuev remove write a book, an autobiography "Fulcrum: A Top Gun Pilot's Escape from the Soviet Empire". There were also cases of theft and the MiG-29: 36 MiG-29 Air Regiment of the Black Sea Fleet invaded Canada without waiting for the section of the fleet after the disintegration of the USSR. Some of them occasionally used during the battle for Bender in June 1992. In Russian publications, noted two cases of their use in this conflict. June 22, one MiG-29UB tried to destroy the bridge across the Dniester, but the bombs fell on the bridge was located near the village Parcani, which led to the deaths of civilians. After several days of air defenses of Russia 14-th Army in the conflict zone revealed an approaching high-speed aerial target and allegedly knocked her. Destroyed aircraft was later identified as MiG-29

"Chick" - easy RC AirModel (part 2)

End of the wing camouflage wingtips:  And process them in the form of wings:  Started to make a  fuselage our RC AirPlane. Carefully bend along the fuselage. It breaks not allowed Paste the rib in the fuselage Stepped back from the front of the fuselage centimeter, paste short rib:  We take a lower part of the fuselage and glue it    Ok. The fuselage is completed. I made a motor mount from a wood rail (cross section of 1x1 cm, length 13 cm)/ Cut a hole in the rib under fuselage and through the wood rail. Mount a landing gear Take a long rib and paste it so that the landing gear were between ribs:  Ok. Next step - Cut a hole in the top of the fuselage to install the wing Now we paste together two parts of the wing      Merge the wing and fuselage   And install a servo for ailerons:   Next step - install a elevator   and rudder Ok. Try to weigh up our model aircraft 118 grams! It's very good!     Now put the electronics on RC model aircraft. Install elevator serovo   And motor set Connect ailerons and servo: And do a hood of fuselage   Install a receiver (on 2 side scotch tape) Flying weight with battery LiPo 7,4 in 1100mAch 15C is 282 grams - PERFECT! Photo of completed "Chick" model   First fly on RC "Chick" model AirPlane   Video of this RC Model Thanks for you time!
