I got the stuff which was exactly what I had ordered at |Rctechnics within 2 days
http://www.rctechnics.eu/

everything what I had ordered where good only the model Swift2 of ms composit was not nicely
Because the model has a little bending on places you don’t want to have see photographs
This came through transportdamage of the model so I have communicated which to Rctechnics of course. These communicate me that I the model could send on their costs and to let change for new model.:banana: This I have done and got a new model which entirely right was and without knocks, therefore :thumbsup: :thumbsup: for the good service of rctechnics

This way if you look forward to on the photograph I put the two wing halves to each other with some adhesive tape (the idée is that the tapes works like a hinge)
Posted Image
The wing turned and the two wings something each other turns and adhesive glue on one of the side of the wing (Ca glue Meduim)and push it together and afterwards turn the main wing and check that the wing has a little negative angle on both sides and let it dry but
Posted Image
The winglets I glue with a little light adhesive like normal Ca glue
Posted Image
The engine unit is glued like the manual says but before you do that glue the engine unit with(Ca medium) and then put the engine is which lock with two bolts permanently and then put the propeller so you can measure good the place where the engine unit is glue mark it with a pencil or marker and then glue it with
adhesive glue (Ca medium).

Photo of the fixed engine unit after letting it dry

On this photograph you see that I have just made the layout for the components but not yet fixed have glued/or taped

After everything has shape to fit i have been glued the servo with a little bit of glue and glued to the role pushrods / elevator I have not made it as the guide (z battle at the end of the pushrod) shows connected but made with 4x micro pushrod lock
and then the protective cap for the servo's newly created and glued and the pushrods for the role / elevator made.

Then the wing and the receiver and battery, controller tapped down with Tesa tape fiber (cross connection)
Posted Image
I have to add 10 grams of lead to the front of the nose and paste (Than glasveltape over it to get the balance right.
The antenna I have not put down

The Swift has already had its first test flight and flew nearly perfect as
I did only what the elevator trim to trim namely two clicks
Also I had to get used to the speed of the model especially during the hand launch
model with half the gas fairly quickly flies away and because I do hand launch of a model itself was pretty quick to respond because he is such a long way and then fly only with the 8x4 prop on it.
The model flies quite well I think its controls (as the results of the manual to keep) that means you can send them quiet and you can also fly into game if you want.
I found him really nervous when flying must be said that the model I have not flown at full throttle because the test room is too small and I take him once more to the model airport for him to fly full.
So it may be that he just flat out fly nervous
On the next vluchtjes  :banana:  :banana:  :banana:

i have been flying for the 3dr time with my Swift2 and i have the plane almost at full controle,she flying nice at my home flyingfield i flown a couple of time high speed flybys and lopings and a spiraal touch down

Maybe my center of gravety it's just alittle bit to far back.
because when i flying level and fly and then give full throttle the plane flys then with a angle of 70 degrees
but by the touch downs i don't have the feeling that the plane is tail heavy,mayby it's the big prop 8x4 gws on it

From a duch guy Jeroen van Gog (Nederlands champion F3A-B 2007)

ill get the floying information

when yor flying at half throttle the plane needs to fly a straight and a little down
the same for flying inverdted

when flying at this position and give full throttle the plane don't climb or descent but keet mainting the same angle

iff this not the case try fix this with engine angle (downtrust)


the next flight ill try this out
