P51D - EPP PSS
Fred:
Hi all,
Just back from the slope, where the P51 has made is maiden flight !
Not that windy, but launch anyway (EPP... don't break, that help !).. Well, perfect !
A bit up at the elevator, and that's it ! :D
Fly fast, but can be almost stopped in the air using a bit of down aileron (great to have 2 servos here !)... Did a bit of aerobatics and all is performing well, as far as you can go without rudder...
No problem to find lift is the relatively poor conditions too :D
Well, really happy !
Had to stop due to the rain coming, so I hope tomorrow the weather will be better on the rain front to have another go and test the thing more ! :D
Hopefully, photos and videos tomorrow !
Ron:
That P51 looks really good Fred :D
And so easy/quick to build. Well for you anyway :lol:
Is that the 1.2m or the 1.8m?
I'm quite tempted by it myself. But the AlfaJet looks good too, except that it might be even faster, and that pointed nose :?: Asking for a losing dual with the ground.
What do you think Fred?
Ron
Fred:
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the P51 ! :D
This is the "small" one (1.2mtrs).
I was mostly surprise that a big wind was not needed to fly ! But I have to admit that the 2 servos for the ailerons is a real plus, but having the ailerons down was not required in today's wind, but that mean I can fly it in even less wind :D I'll have to try !
For the AlphaJet, I don't really know.. It's just a bit more tricky to build, but I think the flight will be more or less the same as the P51. The profile on the AlphaJet is a RG15, a polyvalent profile.
After that, I don't really know, more a question of taste :wink:
You will certainly see it fly in Cork, that will give you an idea ! :D
Sean:
Glad to hear it flew so well! Can't wait to see it in action, or the video?
Seán :roll:

Glad to hear the P51 went well. Must have just missed you at the slope. Flew from about 1.00 pm yesterday. Surprisingly good flying for a couple of hours with big storms going by to North and South. Couple of lads flying a combat wing (Rory and Peter) - anyone know what channel 35.840 is? Couldn't find it on my channel list?
