Superb job Cliff! 😮

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Bob 🙂👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

Fantastic job Cliff, I am sure she will fly like a bird in the sky. Hopefully calm winds Friday. 🫡

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Chris, a big red bird 😁👍

[@mikeparkercreative5136]

Absolutely beautiful 😍
Cant wait to see it in the air.
Got out to fly yesterday evening. Only flew the Beaver foamy and my old faithful Tiger Moth...but good to get in the air again. Very cold though brrrr!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

That's great Mike, I think we're just a little warmer in the South West but when the wind's in the North or East it's pop-up weather! 😁 I plan to dust off my Veron Moth as well soon 👍

[@downwindchecklist6567]

Looking really great! It will look awesome in the air. Don't forget to do some low slow passes ;) And maybe don't be too brave if it is windy. All the best!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Andrew, the video will show all very soon 🙂👍

[@tonymccarthy9273]

it's looking nice cliff, I built a A6 Corsair navy jet , it's got similar construction to your hunter , mine also has seperate elevators , so I made up a fork wire shape to connect both elevates to the single servo , it flew well with just a 400 brushed motor with 8nimh cells , anyway good luck on the maiden, thanks cliff, from Tony from Bedfordshire

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Tony, I could have soldered the elevator pushrods together but they seem to work well through the servo fitting, cheers 👍

[@RcAircraft]

Looks great. Just the Maiden now. 🤞

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Hi Stephen, well it's happened now, I'll post the results tomorrow 🤔👍

[@RcAircraft]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes I will keep my eye on it.

[@zefkosta]

I always use ply horns but I make them triangular so I have a wide base of contact. Sometimes I make them as long as to reach the trailing edge. Sometimes I use fibreglass or carbon fibre board but ply is fine for smaler models.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

That's a good idea, thanks for sharing, I also run ca into the hole after it's drilled to help to prevent wear, cheers

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Hats off, Cliff! What a wonderful and masterful job you've done with your Hunter. Just Brilliant!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Gina, amazing what a chunk of balsa and a lick of paint can turn out like 🤔👍

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes I quite agree!

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Looks great Cliff much better than the Habu 😊

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I think so too Mark ... balsa rules 👍😁

[@IansRCExploits]

Very nice build that Cliff, me thinks it's going to go like 💩 of a shovel 🤣👍

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I think you're right Ian, cheers

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Amazing build Cliff. What is the weight difference between your Hawker Hunter and the OG Habu? Looking forward to the maiden. Jeff in LA USA

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Jeff, I don't know the weight difference but I suspect the Hunter is heavier what with the bigger battery for balance 🤔👍

[@skrswift]

looking realy good cliff...curious about what receivers do you generally use with your flash TX16s, ive got constant "low RF" call outs from mine

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

They're mostly Spektrum, nothing special. I think different receivers return different low voltage warnings, I think I've read on the RC Groups Radiomaster forum this can happen, you could ask on there. If I remember correctly they reduce the warning threshold 🤔👍

[@skrswift]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes You will be pleased to know that on removing the back of the radio, the aerial was found to be disconnected from the output module, thank you for reply.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@@skrswift An easy fix, thanks for letting me know, cheers

[@AEROERGO]

Cliff, how much she weights on flight conditions? (with battery)

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Just over 1kg
