Is that semi gloss your using? Thanks

I bought this as an arf with electronics. Maybe I got the cg way off but it is impossible to fly. Very twitchy even with rates turned down.

Testing results with the shinning. Flies good, but really need low throws to start with. I set my rates at 15 with 70 expo. Will up once I get used to the plane. Wonder what everyone else is using? On another note landing on grass fields is tough on props as plane tends to tip forward (typical tail dragger with small wheels). I decided to velcro a nosewheel for now and that works great as a prop saver. Used velcro so it can pull off easily rather than damaging the plane. A couple of other issues. The epp foam is weak. I had a control horn pull out with a bit of epp. Never had that issue with crash test hobbies. Their epp foam is much stronger. The control horn design is not the best. Would be much better to have ones with back on the opposite side of the elevator, rudder or alerion. And I wonder why they didn't cut the rudder on angle to avoid ground contact? But in spite of that it's is a good plane and looking forward to more outings.

Small question as I'm about to build one. The instructions show two types of glue are required. (502 and UHU) I assume where it does mention use glue it means UHU and and when it mentions foam adhesive use 502. They only show a pic of a tube used to glue two pieces of fuselage together. I assume I should use foam adhesive not UHU. Is that correct? I tied a test glue of two small EPP pieces I had from another build using UHU and they did not stick so not sure if UHU will be an issue. Thanks in advance.

What's a great flying day you all had, of course I particularly enjoyed the Hunter 👍

Good plane but that tinny sounding music (noise) done my nut in 😮but in all very good add except for that sun .

hi, would you recommend the clear semi-gloss over the clear gloss or clear matte?

Good, but try not to spill any! Thanks to Covid etc. it's now £22+ per 1/2 pint tin, plus postage. (Oct.'23 : )

You got nice aircraft,I put about 4 coats of minwax on my flight V900 and it seems to work fine.Thank You for the video.I watch it even thou I already did my plane.

Great video,I did it on my foam sport plane.(V900)It seems to work fine.Thank You.

Test flew mine the other day and it is nearly unflyable. Did you set your one up as per the instructions or have you made some changes to he model?

I Have just built one of these, have you had any issues with the rudder touching the ground?

Sorry, but why would you need to use "polystyrene-friendly glue" on an EPP-framed plane??? 🙄

really done a great job,thanks for sharing.

Oops correction I've found them 😉😎

I can't remember seeing this! That flies brilliant! The contra-prop makes a great sound, too!

Great flying, guys!

P R O M O S M

does it keep wing tips from getting worn down by the pavement?

And the Glastar sneaks in again 😃

TOO much background noise...wind...clicking..or music?? cool planes tho!

Whats wrong with the music ?

wow looks great!

Fantastic!

Your youtube channel is interesting. you have a lot of different planes🙄👍

Looks like Iowa

Your pretty underrated! Really beautiful plane! I’m impressed! You got a new subscriber!

Awesome job man ,love your channel

White West foam. I put it under a warm shower for a few seconds, leave it for 15 minutes and the paper falls off. Dries quickly wiped with a paper towel. if it doesn't fall off easily then you have let it dry out, give it some more water and time. You then have 5 mm thick very nice Depron. For bent parts like the upper wing surface I use coloured packing tape before bending. For flat surfaces you can cover it after construction. alternatively you can cut out the components and strip them using the sink hot tap. I found that using dry heat on the full sheets is a total pain. It can be done but it's tedious. Getting rid of the paper backing loses significant weight.

Weird these small planes are called ultra micros, mini planes seems better because there are planes way smaller then these.

Hello ,new here ,are you using hienergy lipos?

I used white Westfoam board for my first RC plane build as it is available in my local Hobbycraft store. What about durability? My plane could survive a couple of crashes but then I have to rebuild the fuselage😀 Is FliteTest foam more durable?

Interesting and informative video. I gave up trying to source Flite test foam in the UK at an affordable price. I also tried using white Westfoam for a couples of models but it is heavy and doesn't lend itself well to the Flite test folds as I found getting the paper off cleanly a nightmare. I use Diall Polystyrene Insulation board from B and Q which looks like depron to me. It is for underlay but is very light and you can get it in 3, 6 or 9 mm thickness. I have built a few models with it and you can glue it using UHU POR or hot glue. I have also used it to make a couple of Flite test models with it and just covered it each side in coloured packing tape for finishing and so you can do the required cuts, folds and hinges.

you don't have depron 3/6/9 millimeters thick in your country? By sprinkling with water you are not able to remove the paper on the surface?

This plane often crosses my path on KZfaq! I will end up building him and his 2 other British bomber brothers. The Vickers Valiant and Handley Page Victor

hi Flyers friend. Your planes are quite simple to build you gave me an idea... I have to build a quick training plane to build I will copy your plane. I will try to place the wing on the top of the fuselage❤👍😊

Now I know why my bends on the white West Foam don't work so well, was not aware of the difference the FT foam makes! Don't feel so bad now that I struggled to get decent bends

Dancing wings models are kinda hit and miss. I have a rainbow flying wing and it needed a bit of structural support and some hinge relief before I had and confidence that it would fly, I flys flys realy well now. I've seen a bunch of reviews on the Bobber that just wouldn't fly propper at all.

Absolutely epic!

Very informative! Well done sir! One of ours shared this video in our group the Squadron! Love your content!

That’s looks great! Where did you get the motors and how did you modify them to get counter rotating propellers. How much more thrust do you get?

Very informative. So far, I've built two FT Spitfires using a combo of West Foam white and another, thinner type of foam (3mm) that I think I got from Amazon - make unknown, but I want to say it was called Cathedral foam board?? Can't recall offhand what either of the two Spits weighs in at, but I should think they're around the 850g mark AUW. My third FT Spit has the same materials (I was going to use the 5mm WF for the wings, but I made a mess of them!)

Can you get depron in the UK?

A quick calculation - at 118g the Flitetest board weighs 308g per square metre. At 225g the bigger grey stuff is 450g per square metre. So although the sheet is nearly twice as heavy, when you account for the larger sheet size it’s actually about 50% heavier. Not great, but probably ok especially for larger models? Very useful video - thanks!

“There is a lack of Flite test Foam in The UK and america” Me in australia with probably the only FT foamboard in the world: 😂

... did I see that correctly, the wings are not profiled? Then the ailerons should be set slightly negative to generate at least a little lift ...

I learned the hard way about reflex with my first FT Goblin build. Not cool to have to build a new nose after the maiden!

Cool music 🎶
