Description: RESCUED FROM 20 YEARS STORAGE ! de Havilland DH.91 ALBATROSS | RC Transatlantic Mail Plane/Airliner Another stroke of luck in acquiring this beautiful replica of the classic de Havilland DH.91 Albatross. Constructed by master aero-modeller Chris Golds many years ago and fortunately it did not need much work to ensure it was ready to fly again after many years in storage. I replaced the rudder and flap servos and added an SBEC so I could use a 3S lipo for receiver/servo power and step down the voltage to 6 volts. In the end the additional battery actually helped with achieving perfect balance. Up front I used a 3S5000 pack for the ESC/4 brushless motors. This flight went extremely well considering the strong wind. You'll notice how the DH.91 was bounced around by the wind. I'll be adding a gyro before it's next flight and also checking the tail wheel alignment because I certainly did not track straight on take off ! 00:00 Intro and DH.91 History 02:09 First flight 07:27 Slow mo 09:02 Outro Filmed by Jason at our local model flying club for the Essential RC YouTube channel using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for regular 'Essential RC' action using this link youtube.com/c/EssentialRC?sub_confirmation=1 PLEASE SUPPORT 'Essential RC' and JOIN HERE youtube.com/c/EssentialRC/join for EARLY ACCESS to NEW videos NEWS and REVIEWS at facebook.com/groups/essentialRC CHECKOUT OUR UNIQUE RC T-SHIRTS AND MERCH HERE: essentialrc.creator-spring.com
