new here and some pictures

Hi all,

my own Savoia S.65 has recently taken to the air.
Some facts: 4485g flying weight, 165cm span, 2 Kontronik Kora 25 motors, one -13 wound and one -12 wound with thicker copper than stock factory wound. Battery is a 6S 4400mah, ESC two Schulze Future Value 60A-types.

And here are some pictures:






I have done 4 flights that day, and will make some more the next weeks. Painting will start over the winter month's.

Regards,
Rene

Beautiful! The S.65 is a challenging model from what I understand. Quite an accomplishment to build a good flying one.

Hi all,

attached is a link to a late-fall-flying of my own Savoia S.65.

Bill, the S.65 isn't tricky to fly, but you have to be watchful regards CG: the model flies fine even with a back-shifted (and trimmed-out) CG, but tends to dive then; it is hard to re-establish control. Also it tends to do this in hard-flown corners. Otherwise flying with a back-CG is quite fine.
At the moment I am giving her a coat of paint and some detail...

Hi all,

something new from germany. Last winter season I made a 1/6 scale model of the Nieuport-Delage Sesquiplan, with both wheels (as it was) and floats (I found a 3-view in the book "the Schneider Trophy" by Davis Mondey).

Her some pictures.
with wheels:



and with floats:



Here is the complete build thread (in german language):
