RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Congrats. I saw your plane last year at WBOD. You called for me when I flew my green tripe. I crashed mine at the WBOTR now I need another one. See, they are not too bad to fly. I loved mine. ...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

The wing loading on all of these tripes is so low, I would not make my purchasing decision based on weight. BUSA does not have a 1/3rd scale tripe either, so any comparison between GTM and BUSA is...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Those rib tapes sure look good. Interesting to see one with them and one without them next to each other. Definately worth the effort.
I sure do love this thread! It has to be one of the best...

I think that if there was some way to get the paint ball gun mod down to 1\4 scale the guy could possibly retire from the idea!
I would love to have one smaller.

I would have voted for you Del.
It looks like you got a new radio! What is next on the agenda?

Again Great job.

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

You may want to check some other threads but I thought the problem was with the servos getting too much voltage. The RX's can take a lot more. What are your packs putting (volts) out hot off the...

What a great project. Good job. Good luck with the maiden. They can always be a little nerve racking with something like that. High "pucker factor"!

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

I tried using bellcranks at first on my DVII but removed them as I did not like them. It was just another link in the chain and a plce for slop to generate. Use good ball bearing servos and I think...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Futaba has relatively inexpensive 6 and 7 channel 2.4 systems. As of now I would only go with them. Just be sure to use plenty of RX battery. 6v and a lot of Mah. Most of the problems seem to be...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Bruno, I actually bought a PCM reciever off of e-bay for around $50.00. I know this can be a hit or miss proposition but you can get PCM recievers from servo city or Tower new. You will pay around...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Bruno, I don't think that 2.4 gig not working should prevent you from using gas. I had an RF issue with my DVII and it took a lot to track it down. Ended up being the plug cap. The trick is to get...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

I figured the tailwheel thing would come up eventually, but it just makes things easier at my field. I have no grass and I need to be able to clear the flight line quickly generally. Taxiing in...

Here is a pic of my DR1 at the Warbirds over the Rockies event. Also the DVII in formation. DR1 has Torrence cowl, DVII has 5 color fabric and cocpit kit.

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

I had planned on using cross cables on my ailerons as well on my DVII. I was unable to maintain tension throughout the full throw and gave up. I wasted a lot of time trying differant configurations...

Very good job! This has been one of the best build threads I have seen. Amazing you have been able to progress so smoothly (as it seems).
Soon you will have to deal with the maiden flight. It is...

Now I know one more thing I forgot to add to my DVII to make it more scale! I did not know about the fabric behind the seat. That is one thing that is great about these threads, all of the little...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

The ribbon for the bracing on the ribbs is very thin and I doubt that it would create much of a bump under the covering. This is left in place and is how the full scale was constructed. Remeber the...

Del, Great thread. What is going to keep your main axel from sliding back and forth? I did not account for this in my first attempt at a shocked gear on my BUSA DR1 and it gave me fits. Another...
