HK Zlin delivered

Post by solentlife » 13 Aug 2015, 10:51

So unboxing ...

Huge box ...

Image

Everything really packed nice ...

Image

All out on floor ..

Image

Noted the missing fuel tank and associated parts (expected as HK do not list these supplied, but manual from factory does ...)

Fuselage appears to have a foam sheeting for rear ...

Image

The main framing seems to be pretty good and follows todays style ..

Image

OK ... so points also noted.

Mention is made of pull-pull for rudder. A review said that guides were already installed ... well I can't see them !! Will have to drop a light down there and see if I can highlight through covering.

Not too keen on the single CF rod elevator pushrod via tube ... I prefer a twin set-up. I may look at that because the gasoline engine is going to need balancing out.

The RCGF engine I have is the original stand-off mount version and the bolts conflict with the engine box dove-tails. So will have to be mounted inverted instead of planned side-winder. This puts the plug exposed under the cowl .. but with silencer pipe extending lower - hopefully will be protected from ground strikes.

Wing is 63.6" .... that's a bit big to be one piece as manual states. But being underslung on fuselage ... I'll stick with it.

Overall out of box impression ? I like it.

Will post more

Just fitting radio gear ... but engine will be difficult. The firewall is only large enough if I invert the engine. I was hoping to put engine to side because cowling is nice and wide - but not possible.

Pictures to follow ...

Just waiting for engine to come back from Metal Master - one of the mount legs broke of when fitting ...

Radio fitted ... Twin uBEC from 3S LiPo to power Rx and Cdi ... Optic Kill switch ....

Once she's flight tested ... will then fit electric cartridge Smoke system.

Hoping to have her ready this next weekend ... depends on engine.

Ja pareizi esmu sapratis tad tas domāts ''māksliniecikais bardaks'' :) manā darbistabā kas līdzīgs darās :)
Un kas attiecas uz Frīks, tad tas ar principā drīzāk jau kā kompliments bija domāts ;)

I am not tidy person. I have debris everywhere I do my models. I clean up maybe two or three times a year.

Es neesmu nesakoptas persona. Man ir būvgruži visur man manu modeļus. Es sakopt varbūt divas vai trīs reizes gadā.

The model is actually in master bedroom. The room is my second model building room. First is full of other model gear.

Modelis ir faktiski guļamistabā. Telpa ir mans otrais modelis ēka istaba. Pirmais ir pilns ar cita modeļa rīkiem.

I keep telling myself - I must clean up and get rooms back to proper use. But another model comes and I am back to normal !

Es turpinu spēcīgi sevi - man ir sakopt un saņemt numurus atpakaļ uz pareizu lietošanu. Bet vēl viens modelis nāk, un es esmu atpakaļ uz parasto!

Nav problēma. Saruna ir svarīga.

Pilot is at Home !

Image

Model has Rx battery indicator ... and CDi Optic Light ....

Image

The Rx and CDi system are powered by a 3S 1600 Lipo via two uBEC providing steady 5V each. This is a lighter combination than a LiFe or NiMh system. I am not using Digital servos and this will help keep amp requirement down.

I considered fitting a gyro stabiliser but decided that this may only come later depending on how she flies.

I am still waiting for the engine to return - so CoG and final weight is not known.
