hi,

also wanted to tell you that the wheels are too smal for that size plane and the 9gm servos are also too small.

whats the all up wt of the plane, you did not mention that.

sir thanks for replying...
regarding the wheels,they are really strong and i think they are looking smaller in the pic,otherwise they look decent on plane.and regarding the servos...sir i first checked the throws and they were perfect..it doesn't felt that they were lacking in power...also sir i wanted to keep the cost down,due to shortage of money...........

Really nice build, congratulations

What have you used for engine bearers< Please make sure your engine is well supported!

Also make sure your CG is PERFECT! 1/3 chord from the LE under the spar

All the very best with your maiden, and awaiting your flight report & video!

Super build Hitesh, better than what i was planning to send to you,

Some issues that requires second look

1. You rudder horn, it appears way ahead of the hinge line, if it is, it will twist the rudder and the fin.

2. your fin design itself, a swept back fin is for supersonic aeroplane (Yours is subsonic i suppose ;) ) , disadvantage for this kind of sweepback is, she will have problems immediately after take off, she might roll due engine torgue , be ready with opposite aileron (Don't worry she will fly).

3. this fin will limit your low speed, given your high lift wing, at low speed, fin will come into the wing wash and she will roll abruptly esp during landing. come in at very slight high speed, power on, for the maiden.

4. your thrust line appear slightly up. it should be down and to the right. can fly it as it is, corrections while applying power (Increase or decrease) and trim changes during speed changes will be there, you will have to live with it.

5. i dont know how much of flying time you have clocked (including simulator) if any experienced aeromodellor nearby, let him maiden.

6. Wheel track is less, wing touch during turns is inevitable, later on consider wing tip skids.

Al the best for your maiden, whatever is the outcome (I am sure it will be good) share it

Nice Build maserrati, seems like you have altered a little bit from the actual plan from spadtothebone ;) ? especially the tail section and the vertical fin? And like Gusty Saab pointed out (out of many), when you install the control horns, try to align the joint (where your control rod connects to it) inline with the hinge line.

i am sure you have seen the video, if you notice on short finals every time Trevor dropped his wings and picked it up applying power and lowering the nose, every aeroplane (Including this one ) has design deficiencies, you need to learn how to compensate for it while flying.

You can download the basic driver package and t6config.exe from HK product page (under file section). For the simulator, search and download t6sim.exe, install ppjoy, and use t6sim.exe for linking it with your system. A complete thread is here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=967207&page=69 and you could also find t6sim there. Hope this helps :)
