Guillow's Giant F6F-3 Hellcat RC Model Build

This video is a highly customized build of Guillow's giant scale F6F-3 Hellcat balsa model kit converted to radio control. I picked up this kit from my local hobby shop. A little more challenging than I anticipated, as is always the case. The wing is removable, held in place with two bolts at the front and one at the back. The covering is MonoKote with a white primer and airbrushed colour, clear matt finish was sprayed over the decals and paint. The paint scheme is close to the early introduction of the Hellcat in the Pacific. I left off the scale antenna, bombs, and rockets. The drop tank is removable. The landing gear has two positions (up and down) but are not retractable. I had fun building this kit, hope you enjoy the video! Four 9g Micro Servos. Flysky FS-T6 transmitter. Flysky FS-R6B 6 channel receiver. EP-9050 9” Prop (centre hole drilled to fit prop adaptor). Prop adaptor for 4mm shaft. 3S 11.1V 1300 mAh Li-Po battery. A2217/8T 1100KV brushless motor. 40A ESC. Wing span is 32 3/4” (83 cm).
