We had a fun day putting first flights on two brand new Liberty models from CCM in Ukraine. The white and orange model is the only F3J version ever made to his point. It weights 58oz, the black and orange model is a F5J light version and weighs 41oz. 4 meter wing span, designed for F5J and F3J competitions. Made in Ukraine. https://flightcomp.com/collections/f5j-ales https://ccm.in.ua/en/

We use KST servo tool #3 to program the center on our wing servos. Many KST servos are programmable and KST offers a few different programming tools. https://flightcomp.com/collections/kst-programming-tools

Let's build another vintage RC glider! This is a 3.3 meter span Multiplex LS7 kit. I'm not sure exactly when it was released. Very nice kit! High quality. Wood over foam sheeted wings, fiberglass fuselage, and extensive hardware.

Let's assemble a Pike Precision Fuselage. Pretty straight forward, care must be taken to insure the nose cone does not interfere with the servo arms. https://f3j.com/ https://flightcomp.com/collections/f3b-f3f Items used- Battery- https://flightcomp.com/collections/rx-packs/products/panasonic-ncr-1865j2-3400mah-2s-li-ion-rx-pack KST X12-508 Servos

A nice relaxing afternoon on the slope. Fun models and fun friends! Bluff Cove in Palos Verdes. This slope works will in west and north/west winds. Turns off if the wind is south/west. 809 Paseo Del Mar, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274 We flew- CCM Riddick- https://flightcomp.com/collections/slope-sport Dream Flight Ahi- https://dream-flight.com/products/ahi-kit DCU Dragonfly (vintage kit not in production) In attendance- me, the Thermal King, and Butler!

JR Propo Elite Sailplane Programming. Part 2- Wing camber settings and output curves to balance trailing edge surfaces. Information here applies to JR Elite and Matrix. Can also be helpful with the 28X.

The 2PK pro is an updated version of the venerable Prestige. New wing tips with different planforms and airfoils. The new tips now stretch the wing span to a true 4 meters. The X-tail version features a longer tail boom and different servo mounting system. Overall stability is increased and performance in the landing zone for the X-tail version is greatly improved. (my opinion ). More information- f3j.com flightcomp.com

Proudly Made in Ukraine 4 meter wing span radio control F5J sailplane. The Liberty is the most user friendly model we have tried. It is best flow by pointing in a direction and not touching the sticks. Wait for it to indicate lift and start turning! It virtually flies itself. Highly recommended for those who would rather focus on finding air than flying a more "hands on" model. The Liberty does everything well and is not super sensitive to setup changes. Truly, this is the best hallow molded F5J model available at this time! https://flightcomp.com/collections/f5j-ales/ https://ccm.in.ua/en/catalog/r-c-models/

If you would like to help me recoup my costs for dealing with this UPS customer service nightmare and help a small business owner out- buymeacoffee/AliFC paypal.me/AlifromFC My epic rant about how UPS claims service is just about the worst thing ever and how they do not care one single bit about small businesses!!! Shame Shame Shame..... Plus bonus un-boxing footage of a shipment of Samba Models. Pike Precision 2, and Paradigm GPS sport. Remember guys, UPS knows how to pack these things better than you or I.

We assemble the X-tail and servos for the CCM Toy 2M RC glider. Electric version with two piece fuse. Servos used- KST X08H https://ccm.in.ua/en/catalog/r-c-models/toy-2m-el/ https://flightcomp.com/ CCM’s new project – Toy 2m EL The model was created in 2019 for the aeromodellers, who like to get pleasure from the flight. Our team brings to life our new engineering ideas that are based on our extensive experience in the model production. This is an important project of our young team. The model is completely made of cutting-edge CNC equipment. Toy 2m is available in the following versions: – for high-speed flight on slopes; – in dynamic flows on a plain; – in the version equipped with an electric motor. We only use high-quality materials for the model production in particular the most modern Aero ST spread tow carbon fabrics. We create our models for you. CCM Team

The Samba Cup is the premier F5J contest on the planet! Every F5J enthusiast should try to attend at least one time in their lives! Held near the town of Litomyšl in the Czech Republic. This year I was able to drag two other American pilots along with me. We had the most amazing time! For more pictures, video, and information (including results) please follow this link- https://f3j.com/ Big thank you to everyone at Samba Models for making this possible!!!! By the way, the new 2PK Pro is amazing!

Items used- KST X10 Mini Servos- https://flightcomp.com/collections/kst-micro-wing-servos From CCM- It is the next level of our team. The new Liberty model is the implementation of new ideas and technologies into one single unit. The aerodynamic design is the result of collaboration of famous designers. This is a model with a great history and transformation into a modern f5J model. The original design was developed by Eser Kismir with Philip Kolb’s help, which allowed to choose the right series of aerodynamic profiles and the concept of the model. After that our CCM team picked up these developments and modernized it in accordance with updated modern requirements. At the first stage, the model was released in a limited series called Libery and later it will have the original name – Liberty. It is a completely new model with a larger wingspan, different fuselage and better materials. We designed an innovative version of the fuselage and to be more specific – it is about the mechanism of its connection, which will allow: – to store the model in a more compact way for transportation; – will make it easier to replace separate parts if needed; – will give an opportunity to develop new model configurations in the future. As a result, we developed the up-to-date F5j model.
