Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

Good luck frank. I enjoy building and I'm sure this will help me see how a 3D balsa plane is constructed.

The primo15 is an awesome little plane. I've built two of them and am seriously considering a third when I finally kill my current one. (I fly it hard, it teaches me a lot!) I put lights in mine and I recommend you do the same. Flying after dark is awesome!

Saw this plane being built in our build clinic over on RCG and I thought to myself, I gotta have one of those.

I am going to use this thread to discuss my build and progress into learning to fly 3D with this airplane.

I hope it goes well.

Welcome to the site and thanks for making the build thread. I'm going to be building a .40 size primo-like profile this winter, so I'll be watching your thread with great interest!.

Thanks fellas. I have been looking long and hard for a good balsa profile plane I can fly in the lot by my house and this looks like it will be just perfect. I also plan on putting some lights on it as well. As a matter of fact, Jim who is building the one in the build clinic will be showing me how it all works. I never done LEDs before so this will be new for me.

I'll keep you posted on progress and will of course post pics of the build as I go. I just do not know exactly when I'll be starting it. I have another build clinic in the works coming up in Nov (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1733597) so I'm not sure if I should try to tackle this build in before then. Right now I am also working on a Speedo 1.2m sloper and doing a mini build thread on that as well.

But thanks for stopping in gentlemen and I am looking forward to those pics of your Primo teookie.

Awesome! Nice catch at the end there as well. The Primo looks perfect for what I want it for. A great 3D flyer for the lot by my house.

Thanks for sharing that video

Teeokie,

What size batteries are you running? I'm on the hunt for some decent cheap LiPos. I heard Gen Ace is the way to go so I might try those.

I also heard there is a long lead time of these planes so I better order it right away.

Thanks,

Frank
