My new Jeannin Stahltaube flies!!
« on: May 04, 2011, 11:21:09 AM »
Tuesday evening I got to test fly my Taube.  Flies like a dream at 1/3 throttle.  I have an OS FS91 SII-P engine on it but I think an OS 25 FSR is all it needs.

Jim Vornholt helped me assemble it, pitted for me, tool pictures both before and during the flight an then helped disassemble it.  Jack Sheeks took video with my dgital camera but I will have to learn where to post the video to share it.

How do you spell "accomplishment"?

It looks like you can post mpg files here, if they're small enough.  YouTube makes it easy enough to post movies that even my kid can do it -- like this:
.  Try not to have a similar-themed movie with your Stahltaube, please.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

That's awesome, Clancy!!!!!!!!  Truly a work of art.  Can't wait to see it fly, even though it won't be until the FCM!  (If you don't bring it to the FCM I'm gonna take my books back!!)   H^^ H^^

I have not schduled that far in advance!

Current schedule is Brodak for it's first contest then the NATS.  If all goes well through the NATS then FCM should be doable.

Congratulations on the successful first flights, Clancy.  That's always a nervous moment when you first see daylight under the wheels.

See you at Muncie, if all goes well.

Frank Carlisle posted on youtube the video Jack Sheeks took using my camera.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YyFTqt8pSsc

Thanks Frank.
The Jeannin Stahltaube is 88 In. WS, 1500 Sq. In. WA and weighs 9 1/4 Lbs.
I am flying it on 65 Ft. lines measured AC C/L to Handle.  I am using my U/Tronics Control 4 channel system for Throttle, Wing Warp and Rudders.  This allows me to level the Wings and adjust the line tension in flight.  Is that cheating?  LOL

I was using about 1/3 Throttle during the flight and the model was flying at about 46 MPH.  The real aircraft with a 100 HP Engine could only do 61 MPH.

Thanks Frank and Jack,
Clancy

Looks like it flies really great.  Shame the video ended before the landing.  Does it land OK?  Landings for scale aircraft have always been MY biggest shortcumming at a contest.  LL~

Even with the soft donut tires it did not bounce on landing.  Just greased it in.  It rolled out fine but needed a toein adjustment on the left gear strut.  Nothing but the tires and tail skid touched the pavement so no repairs required.  Now to finish it!!

After buying a new battery for my stop watch I timed the laps in the video.  The Taube was flying at about 37 MPH.

Above I posted that the real airplane could only do 61 MPH.  That figure was from one source but another source says top speed of 115 Kp/h (71.4 MPH) and a cruse speed of 100 Kp/h (62.1 MPH).  Either speed is still about even with a Piper Cub.

I put the finishing touches on the Taube today and it is ready for the Brodak Fly-In.
All 92 Scale Cables are on the model along with the Wind Screen, Oil Tank, hand grabs, steps and louvers.

When the wife took the picture of me holding it the camera was in MOVIE mode so it is a frame out of the video clip. RATS!!!

Looks like a winner to me.  But, then again it is up to the judges.  Just don't do like you did in Virginia Beach. H^^

Looking very nice, Clancy.  You're really going to dress up the flight line at the Nats.  I find the early aircraft very interesting to model, especially the nearly endless opportunity to add all the surface details these early machines had.

Best of luck and good flying at Brodak.
