30cc electric setup

You also have the option of using Hangar 9 Cub type gear mounted to factory installed blind nuts in the Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc but I like the simplicity and easily repair of the standard aluminum gear. Unboxing and Prep As I do with all new planes I went through the box to be sure nothing was damaged. I also looked for open bags or boxes of components that might have turned something small but important loose in the main shipping box.

The Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc had none of those issues. While it is admittedly rare to find obvious manufacturing errors or damage I do look for them as I go over the parts. This initial inspection can also bring to mind accessories I might need to complete the build or changes to the accessories I had originally planned on using. More on this when we get to installing the DLE40 Twin later in this review. The most remarkable thing about what I found in the box is the pure size of the Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc.

Large, Robart-style pin hinges are light and very strong. Another tradition of mine with new models is going over the covering to find unsealed edges or loose covering. Both are common issues with an airframe that was covered and shipped from a distant country or one that simply sat on a shelf for a while. Covering loosens, get over it. I use this on all of the seams and edges of covering to be sure they are all sealed completely.

Once satisfied with the edges I switch to my heat gun and shrink out any loose sections of covering. Once again the Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc arrived in surprisingly good shape with only minor edges and loose sections needing attention. Despite the huge square footage of covering on the Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc covering prep took only about an hour. The pre-installed blind nuts in the Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc firewall for the suggested Evolution engine happen to be in the same pattern as needed by the DLE40 Twin so I lucked out there with a bolt up fit.

The biggest motor-related issue came when I could not find a firewall to prop washer dimension in the instructions. After some fussing with a mocked up cowl and fuse it looked like a mm firewall to prop washer dimension was right on the money. Tail Options The motor box is tough and the covering needed minor touch ups. The Hangar 9 Valiant 30cc tail feathers are impressive in their size but such large dimensions can be a problem transporting.

The vertical stabilizer lost the rounded shape and has been replaced by a more conventional profile that should enhance rudder response and predictability.

The fuselage retains its square, slab-sided shape but looks longer to me, especially the tail section from the trailing edge of the wing on back. Perhaps that modification is meant to further enhance the response of the tail control surfaces. I love a plane with good rudder authority and the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick looks like that will be part of its flight envelope.

We have always known that the lighter and more rigid an airframe is, the better it will fly. Hangar 9 has mastered the light and strong thing, evidenced by how well all their planes fly. Hangar 9 provides recommendations for a compatible electric power system for the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick , but I am gas all the way in the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick. That said, I have no doubt the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick would fly well with the right electric setup. It worked on me…. Anyway, the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick has been through its paces — repeatedly — since beginning this Review and it continues to fly well, with both wings.

When slipped together a pair of substantial wooden dowels on the leading-edge plug into the fuselage structure and a pair of nylon wing bolts, through a plate finish securing the wing. In addition to being more than strong enough, this system is surprisingly quick to assemble and break down at the field. I have been spoiled by the often-cavernous giant scale airplane interiors that allowed loading radio and related equipment with a shovel.

The accuracy of modern jig-based assembly shows itself when mounting the tail feathers on the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick. It was easy to align the horizontal stabilizer with the wing, an important thing if a nice-flying plane is your goal. The tail feather assemblies have plenty of epoxy gluing surfaces to insure they stay where you put them.

Installing the large CA-hinges that secure the control surfaces on the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick is simple.
