Tell you how yo assemble Sportsman series PA-12

I recently obtained PA-12 ARF and wanted to provide a build thread. This model is from their “Sportsman Series” of entry level beginners planes. The PA-12 has similar looks to J3 Cubs. The PA-12 is a basic high-wing, tail-dragger plane. Items included with the ARF are your basic hardware package with assembly tools, pre-painted decorated foam parts, installed motor/ESC combination, installed push-rods and hinged flight control surfaces. Also included with the ARF is a 7-cell 650mah NiMH pack and 12v Timer battery charger.


The included image shows the PA-12 as shipped (minus poly bag for the fuselage). The vertical stabilizer/rudder and horizontal stab/elevator are located under the wing.

Tell you how to assemble P-51 Free-Flight

I was intrigued about converting the P-51D Mustang from its free-flight configuration over to a light-weight indoor R/C model.  The product specs are as follows:
Wingspan 11 inches, Length 9.3 inches and an all up weight of 8 ounces.
This model has a small pager motor and an 80 mAh Nimh akku cell to provide power.   Its size obviously dictates the use of micro r/c gear and a little fore thought for the conversion.
I have decided to use Plantraco gear for both power and radio control.
The P-51D is listed as product GEEF0400
Should this conversion be successful, I may try conversion on the rest of the fleet.

The first task was to determine how to crack open the P-51 without destroying the model in the process. The P-51 is assembled at the factory with a combination of CA and silicon glues.  A #11 hobby blade is a little too thick and unwieldy for cutting the fuselage open. A single edge razor blade is probably worse.
I ended up making a wonderful “joint separator” from a disposable razor (3-blade) and a short length of yellow control rod tubing. After carefully separating the razor head and removing the blades, one end of each blade was snapped off at a 45 degree angle for ease of use. Once the blade was glued to the end of control rod tube, I now had a wonderful surgical instrument that has a blade less than 1/2 the thickness of a #11 blade. It is also nicely flexible for cutting between the wing and fuselage at the glue joint.
The first item removed from the model was the tail section. The cutting action of the disposable razor made clean work of this part of the operation.

Gliders rc plane -NEXUS 900 Instruction Manual

The Nexus 900 is a marriage of state of the art molding techniques in a tiny package.  The end result is a small scale version of the full size Nexus SZD551 with a finish usually reserved for larger scale sailplanes. The Nexus 900 uses “Pitcheron” flight control.  Instead of having ailerons and elevator for flight control, each entire wing is operated as elevons would be for pitch and roll control.
CAUTION!  The Nexus 900 is intended for skilled and advanced pilots only!  Although designed to have great flight capabilities and handling, its size and speed are not for beginner or novice flyers.
