before sticking them together, i copied it onto a depron, this week i can bring it for you rohit, cut it and build it

by any chance have u copied it to papaer so that it will help builder like me !!!!!!!!!

Johny, silly, i was trying to iron out the bubbles in the decals, worked like a charm (Book says put it in sun before stickin and it was raining here, Norwesters)

With a new motor attempted hover and torque roll in the drawing room, broke a crystal glass anyways pics for you

How was the performance with the new motor.

Oh i cant wait for the plans.

Motor is good just that reserve is slightly less, real fast tailslide arrest, may be an issue, will let you know

too bright you can't see the aircraft clearly, that the max i can expect from my 'Help', handles like a charm, even in moderate winds, anyways video for you

Sir i am waiting for a video of your YAK from Praveen..i have the extra from the same manufacturer.

Regards
Ankur

yak needs some serious work, its fuse ribs have become kinda loose, i am going to have to remove the coating reinforce it and put a new coating back on, it really was tested to beyond its limits, incl flick rolls

only some glimpses of the aircraft, is there anything wrong with my eyes

better video will follow   

ParkMaster's cousin with the Parkmaster, FunJet, I wouldn't waste a thread on it's buildlog, it is easy as a breeze, a few things for consideration for funjet build.

(a) CG Mark is on the underside of wing, since it is a small aeroplane, please balance CG accurately
(b) With 2200 mah 3s Hk batt, you will require nose weight
(c) keep the throws right a shade lesser the better, she can be quite a handful at high speeds
(d) adjust the thrust balances correctly, see you tube, too much of downthrust can ruin your model at launch

Added a little twist to tale, added a spinner, got it from praveen (PVN2000)

Alright after 87 sorties, here is the run down.

1. Superb flier, does Flat spin inverted spin like a charm, ht loss during power off spin is 10-12 feet (Measured using triangulation), Knife edge loop is good, lower portion can be tricky, Rolling turns are gr8, Co-ordinated use of top rudder is a must, For Kulbit (Frolov chakra) - See below, for V8 rudder is a must or else she losses direction 10 deg to the side of the roll even with a touch of forward pressure, for Hover you will require DR, High rate is not very clean, use Elev flap mix for harrier and inverted harrier

2. 9 Gms rudder servo gave up on the 45th flight, changed to 16 gm

3. Motor mount is bad, had to reinforce it with CF Rods (See CF Reinforce) , canopy joint too is weak had to reinforce there too

4. Tailskid did not work, made a tailwheel out of sons toy and Umbrella Wire worked for 53 flights

5. Rudder push rod is flimsy, flexes during push, changed to cycle spoke

6. Use of flap makes it a easy, slow power on landing

7. Hand launch only after careful thrust balance, high power hand launch can make it torque roll on launch

8. Hot Glue Jindabad

Some Memorable moments

(a) Motor mount, motor flew off in flight during hover thrice, managed to recover twice off a stall turn, once i was very close to ground, except rudder came off its hinge nothing happened

(b) One sortie was a dedicated Kulbit and inverted Kulbit sortie, with -85% of Ele→Flap on Switch E, after about 15-20 Kulbits wing folded in flight and she entered into a uncontrolled spin, as a last resort inverted the aircraft, the wing straightened , did a inverted approach , got wings level just before touch down, subsequently re-enforced with full span CF Rod (See Image)

(c) tried toppling Thermocole cup with rudder in a hover, after a lot of practice, successfully toppled (The best moment with Parkmaster)

(d) Prop and Prop nut flew off so many times, lost count (Parkmaster Log book says 17 times).

(e) Used 7 types of motor as an experiment including EDF motor (Turnigy P2627L EDF Outrunner 4200kv), Presently flying on 2212, didn't want to be too power full for my son.

(f) While hovering over my 2i/c's house lost prop and prop nut, 10 people and good 3 hrs of combing operation it took to find the prop.

of course Futaba Orange Rx on this too,

Videos pleaseeeee

Rohit
at 0530 in the morning, there is nobody in the field, i am going to go FBC way, puting a cam on the shades.

PS
Congrats, that was your 500th post and join the Forum Hero Gang

Oh yeah didn't notice that thank you!!!

BTW why don't you get your parkmaster at the RCTC and ill shoot a proper video with my cam. It would be very helpful for beginners like me.

yeah and the depron plan

If possible do upload the plan by either taking pics of the sheet it was copied onto or any other innovative way. Would be gr8

Not a bad idea, Well, Some Pics of PM Flying

Some More, Landing in the middle of a hockey , Cricket and a Football match was tricky had to manage ldg in a 6' corridor

Ok after flying for 237 sorties on this beautiful bird, i have decided to put Glow Engine on it. AP 09 (http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=58_60_90&products_id=641). Following measure taken :-
1. Motor mount is reinforced further with CF Rods and Cycle spokes,
2. Heat shield from Real jet engine and Silicon Wool fixed around the area where there will be heat.
3. Going to mount the engine 90 Deg, dimensions are perfect,
4. Parachute hairoil bottle fits perfectly in the batt compartment,
5. will make a aaa batt bat pack.

Discussed with some senior members, this will be the first time ever on a parkmaster. want to see what multiplex has to say about it.

Great going gusty sir!!  how ever did I misS this thread.

This is going to be fun!. Will attract lots of views on youtube, all the best
