In this video I start thinking about a new rc plane kit build series. My next plane will have the OS Max 46 AX II engine that I had mounted on a Great Planes Escapade 40 Sport ARF kit. Unfortunately, the Great Planes Escapade tail section failed during a flight and it crashed and was completely destroyed. In this video I show the running engine mounted upright and sideways with a Bison Pitts Muffler. I also show a few videos of the Great Planes Escapade in flight from the ground and from a camera mounted on the plane. Then I show pictures of the rc plane wreckage. The OS Max 46 AX II engine survived the crash with only minor damage that can easily be fixed with a new carburetor. So I will mount this engine on the new plane I'm going to build which will be the Balsa USA Smoothie. I will be doing an open box review of this kit and start building it soon.
I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community. I fly with Futaba radio equipment, OS Max engines and Saito engines and typically run Morgan Omega and Powermaster glow fuels. I fly ARF rc planes, but I also really like to build rc plane kits.
