Pilot-RC

Redwings: Leonardo (3m) Thanks to my good friend Juan Antonio from Malaga Jets, I have been able to setup my very own 3m Leonardo Jet. The shape has a kind of love-hate style, you either love it or hate it, however the flying of the model is such that even if you don’t like the look of it you still love the flying. Very smooth, all be it not particularly fast for a jet, it is highly acrobatic at mostly a constant speed. Having flown a few of them previously, I knew what setup I wanted for my style of flying. Big thanks to all my sponsors for their help with this one, especially JetCat, Powerbox-Systems, Electron Retracts, MKS Servos and OptiPower. The setup I chose, as you may have been able to have guessed based on the my brilliant sponsor list was as follows: Setup: (x1) JetCat P220Rxi (x1) Electron Retracts ER50 combo por Leonardo 3m (x1) Powerbox: Powerbox-Systems Mercury SRS (x8) Servos: (x2) Ailerons: DS9910 by MKS Servos (x2) Elevators: DS9910 by Servos (x1) Rudder : DS9910 by MKS Servos (x2) Flaps: HV777+ by MKS Servos (x1) Steering: HV777+ by MKS Servos (x3) Batteries: OptiPower 5.000mAh 2S (x2 for Powerbox, x1 for turbine) (x1) Batteries: OptiPower 430mAh 2S (for retracts) (x2) Receivers: Powerbox-Systems PBS-26D Accessories: (x1) Powerbox-Systems smoke pump (x1) Lightweight premium servo wire by Powerbox-Systems (x4) Conector two4one by Powerbox-Systems (MPX) for ailerons+flaps and for retracts (x3) Conector one4one by Powerbox-Systems for elevators and rudder   My chosen setup did not let me down. Even from the first flight the Leonardo went off without a hitch. The power from the JetCat P220Rxi is more than enough for this large yet light model and the servos offer a direct and positive control over the plane at any speed and attitude. Can’t wait to get more flights on this bird and get some more videos up of the same! Redwings: Leonardo (3m) Gracias a mi amigo Juan Antonio de Malaga Jets, he podido montar mi propio Leonardo de 3m. La forma que tiene suele llevar a que a la gente o le encante o lo odie, pero en vuelo sólo hay una opción, ya que todo el que lo prueba le encanta. Muy preciso, aunque no muy rápido para ser un jet, es muy ágil y acrobático, por lo general a una velocidad muy constante. Habiendo volado varios anteriormente, ya sabía exactamente la configuración que quería meterle al mío. Debo dar las gracias a mis patrocinadores por toda su ayuda con este proyecto, en especial a JetCat, Powerbox-Systems, Electron Retracts, MKS Servos y OptiPower. La configuración que yo elegí era el siguiente, aunque seguramente muchos podríais haberlo adivinado de antemano! Equipo: (x1) JetCat P220Rxi (x1) Electron Retracts ER50 combo para Leonardo 3m (x1) Powerbox: Powerbox-Systems Mercury SRS (x8) Servos: (x2) Ailerones: DS9910 de MKS Servos (x2) Profundidades: DS9910 de MKS Servos (x1) Timón : DS9910 de MKS Servos (x2) Flaps: HV777+ de MKS Servos (x1) Rueda: HV777+ de MKS Servos (x3) Batterias: OptiPower 5.000mAh 2S (x2 para la centralita y x1 para la turbina) (x1) Batterias: OptiPower 430mAh 2S (para tren) (x2) Receptores: Powerbox-Systems PBS-26D Accesorios: (x1) Bomba de humo de Powerbox-Systems (x1) Cable de servo ligero Powerbox-Systems (x4) Conectores two4one Powerbox-Systems (conector MPX) para alerones+flap y para el tren (x3) Conectores one4one Powerbox-Systems para profundidades y timón   Mi configuración no decepcionó. Incluso desde el primer vuelo todo funcionó perfectamente. La potencia de la JetCat P220Rxi es más que suficiente para este modelo grande y ligero , y los servos ofrecen una respuesta inmediata y muy positiva sobre el modelo en cualquier posición y velocidad. Seguiré dandole vuelos y subiendo fotos y videos, gozando de mi Leonardo!

RC-Factory: Crack Yak Lite Getting back to my roots and my foamy beginnings, I knew that it had to be one of these. I had one years ago and it flew great (the Laser) and wow was I impressed with this one! Video says more than words, so make sure to check it out! Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrI6Cu0ffzw

Laser (103″) Pilot-RC has just stepped up the rules for acrobatic 3D flying. Their latest design, the Laser 103″ is so much more precise, agile and light than any model that has gone before that it is untrue! Fingers need recalibrating to keep up with this model, which it is really true that the “limit is only the pilot”, heck, even I am having a hard time keeping up with it at full rates, and I always fly full rates! The setup I used was basically the same I have been using for a while now, as I know it simply works, and works well: Setup: (x1) Motor: GP Engines 123cc running stock mufflers (x1) Propellor: GP Engines 27-12 Carbon (x1) Powerbox: Powerbox-Systems Mercury SRS (x8) Servos: (x4) Ailerons: Hv777 by MKS Servos (x2) Elevators: Hv777 by Servos (x1) Rudder : Hbl380 X8 by MKS Servos (x1) Motor: Hv737 by MKS Servos (x2) Batteries: OptiPower 3.500mAh 2S (x2) Receivers: Powerbox-Systems PBS-26D Accessories: (x1) Scale pilot 35% by G-force Aircraft (x1) Powerbox-Systems smoke pump (x1) Sparkswitch Pro by Powerbox-Systems (x7) Alu Secraft servo arms (1,5” ailerons and rudder // 1,75” elevator) (x1) Lightweight premium servo wire by Powerbox-Systems (x2) Conector two4one by Powerbox-Systems (MPX) for ailerons (x2) Conector one4one by Powerbox-Systems for elevators   Having already built and flown one in the same scheme in Dubai, and being blown away with how it flew, I knew I had to build it quick and start having fun, and that is exactly what I have done! The build is the same as mostly all Pilot-RC kits, and was easy to complete. The big difference in this model is that the inside is all black! There is carbon everywhere! Laser (103″) Pilot-RC acaba de reventar el mercado de modelos acrobáticos 3D. Su último diseño, el Laser 103″ es muchísimo más preciso, agil y ligero que cualquier otro modelo que ha habido antes, es incredible. Hace falta recalibrar dedos para poderlo llevar al límite, y por una vez es verdad aquello de que el limit es el piloto. hasta yo mismo me está costando llevarlo con mandos máximos, y yo siempre he llevado los mandos al máximo! La configuración que he montado viene a ser el mismo que hacía ya tiempo, ya que se que va bien y no hace falta cambiarlo: Equipo: (x1) Motor: GP Engines 123cc (x1) Hélice: GP Engines 27-12 Carbono (x1) Centralita: Powerbox-Systems Mercury SRS (x8) Servos: (x4) Alerones: Hv777 de MKS Servos (x2) Profundidades: Hv777 de MKS Servos (x1) Dirección: Hbl380 X8 de MKS Servos (x1) Motor: Hv737 de MKS Servos (x2) Baterías: OptiPower 3.500mAh 2S (x2) Receptores: Powerbox-Systems PBS-26D Accesorios: (x1) Muñeco 35% de G-force Aircraft (x1) Bomba de humo de Powerbox-Systems (x1) Sparkswitch de Powerbox-Systems (x7) Brazos de servo de Alu Secraft (1,5” alerones y deriva // 1,75” profundidad) (x1) Cable de servo ligero Powerbox-Systems (x2) Conector two4one Powerbox-Systems (conector MPX) para alerones (x2) Conector one4one Powerbox-Systems para profundidades   Habiendo ya montado y volado uno de estos kits en Dubai, y habiendo flipado de cómo iba, sabía que tenía que montarlo rápido y empezar a disfrutarlo, y eso es exactamente lo que he hecho! El montaje es como el de cualquier otro modelo de Pilot-RC, fácil y rápido de poner en orden de vuelo. La gran diferencia es que el interior es todo negro! Hay carbono por todos los sitios!
