![]() That EFX is one of my favorite speed planes and is blistering fast with my rare bear motor in it. I spend hours printing things I could easily buy from the dollar store. I don't know about you guys, but I have a basement full of impractical things and my printer is one of them. ![]() from RCGroups forum - I cant beleave we are even having this conversation! We all printed this thing because we could. This design style just seems to be custom catered for things like a Mig-15 or a curvy SR-71 Way more satisfying than buying it from china! (Lower case "c" intended) I love the challenge of printing this aircraft. The cool factor of having all the internal architecture within the wing and fuse sold me. I had to get the S3D to make it work the way it was designed. Can someone give a list of all the bits that we need to remove? The centre wing holes in the left and right pods were pretty obvious and the cable holes in the pods for the wing ailerons but the rest is no so obvious.I just downloaded the mustang last night. In the videos I notice a soldering iron being used to melt away waste sections of plastic that I guess were printed for support purposes but are unnecessary when the model is glued together. Don’t you need 9 pushrods? Can someone please give the required lengths of the steel push-rods? Also does anyone bother putting a V in their pushrods for adjustability? ![]() The manual says 6x Steel push-rods 1.0-1.2mm. ![]() Are we supposed to drill the centre out or is there a different coupling required? The recommended Turnigy motors come with what looks like an M8 coupling but centre hole in the spinners is much smaller. Has anyone tried running their model P38 with propellers rotating away from the cockpit? Is there any noticeable difference? I imagine it probably wouldn’t make any difference at this scale – I’m in the middle of my build and just thinking that I may go the historical way for motor rotation. All subsequent P38s were manufactured and run with their propellers rotating away from the cockpit. However I recall that the original real-life P38 prototype had its propellers this way and crashed and they found it was better to run the propellers rotating away from the cockpit to reduce turbulence over the centre wings and back to the stabilisers – particularly the elevator. The instructions say to make the propellers counter-rotate towards the cockpit. ![]()
