- Guillows Zero RC Conversion Step by Step Underpowered
Join me is this video as I convert a Guillows Zero RC conversion step by step. And see that after the test flights, the model is underpowered, and what the next steps will be to correct this.
I have done five Guillows RC conversions to date. I have had great success with the ParkZone line of micro electronics, but these units are best suited for Guillows models weighing under 3.0 ounces. The Zero came in at 3.7 ounces, just a bit too heavy for the micro electric motor.
The Guillows Zero build is straightforward with no surprises. The video will cover the wing, fuselage and tail surfaces as well as lightening techniques. The model is covered by with Parklite iron on covering.
As the Zero is underpowered, plan is to refit the model with a more powerful electric motor and stand alone servos and receiver. Although the model will be heavier, the wing area should be sufficient to fly it. This will be shown in a follow on video.
