Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / July 2004Tips for setup for 3D with aeroplane
Hi, does anyone know of websites for 3D set-up with aeroplane? Thanks Clifford your best help will come from the message boards on RCUniverse and RCGroups.......that type of stuff.

I'm flying a funfly model made from a plan called an XS with a OS 46 AX in it , what would be the best prop for prop-hanging? Clifford On 7/21/2004 3:53 AM Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge: You will need to experiment to find the best prop, but a good starting point would be a 12x3.5 or 12x4 preferably in a wide blade. If it has not already been mentioned: Keep the push rods as short as possible. Make sure the control surfaces are free moving. MOST 3D type planes need 45 degrees of movement (or more) on the control surfaces. The aileron surface should be AT LEAST 25% of the wing area, 30% - 35% is better. Make sure your engine is reliable for prolonged running in a vertical position. Practice your maneuvers "3 mistakes high". I know most of this is "common sense", but sometimes common sense "gets lost" along the way :) >> Hi, does anyone know of websites for 3D set-up with aeroplane? >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Clifford APC 12.25x3.75 for 3D and hovering on that engine.

I'm a total newbie to RC planes, in fact I have not got one yet. I'm seriously thing about getting myself a trainer etc in the very near future. ie. join a club etc. (Need a hobby in my retirement) Forgive my ignorance, I've seen references to 3D models, but can you tell me what 3D means with regard to models. The obvious thing that comes to mind is 3 dimensional of course but ar'nt they all. Cheers Mike Sorry for the stupid question. Mike 3D is aerobatics that involve things that a "normal" model can't do, like hanging on the prop and other maneuvers done where the prop, not the wings, is holding the plane up.

Very good advice for 3D setup. > Hi, does anyone know of websites for 3D set-up with aeroplane? > > Thanks > > Clifford |
