P40 Warhawk flies again


Finally test flew the P40 the other day. All she needed was some down trim and she was trimmed (although I might improve the roll rate). Had 3 flights so far and very pleased with the way it flies. I need to put the cowl on but the engine is cutting out on me so I need to resolve that first.

Kyosho P40 Kittyhawk (Warhawk)


I have acquired a second hand one of these models. I've put an ASP 46 up front and changed the servos connections. They use quick links which have a screw which tightens on the pushrod but I don't trust these on a 40 size model so I had to push the servo mounts back about 6 mm and bend the pushrod. This should make a more secure connection. Note I have retained a quick link with the throttle servo as it is under little pressure. I have yet to test fly. Its been too windy!!!
