TT trainer to tail dragger help
crispin church replied to flyeruk's topic in All Things Model Flying
when converting to tail dragger has any one found a need to change the elevator fin to a different angle -
mine set well apart from i havent manage to use dual ailirons on my dx6i so i can have flaparons

have you got both servos the same make ? if you got 1 futaba and 1 jp servo they go opposite directions apart form that like they say above in turn make sure you got wing mix elevon active and no other you do not need mix 1 or mix 2 as elevon is the mix and servos plug into elevator and ailerons channels then do one thing only at a time check see if right you mite get up down working like ailerons then change servo leads round and dont worry we all get this at some stage

LA is no power house FP and AX are the better ones but saying that if you need every last rev then may be you need a bigger engine in that plane i use to say LA was crap and dont touch them but i got one on ebay in a box of bits and its a very nice plodder

Blackhorse CAP232 46size CofG !!
crispin church replied to Tony H's topic in Sport, Aerobatic and 3D kits
i all ways put figure in a cog calc even if i have the manual i have a calc that i use that when using its answer gives me a good starting place i have the same plane i put on a webra 61 and needs no lead so your 52 and other things you changed must be quite heavy to need lead on back -
if your on 2.4 and set your fail safe correctly then just turn off your tx if no switch / safety plug on outside of plane or on my DX6I i replaced the cut off button with a switch so i flick the cut off switch but at end of day any model that could shoot across patch should held back by some thing

Cheers Phil if you can change a setting on a computers then this looks like the greats new thing fit any jr style module in back and it will still run frsky at same time and have as many modles saved as you got memory card spare for any mix you can think of and much more

codename john is right but why when we charge them to 4.2 per cell so a 3 cell is really 12.6 ect if using on same motor with 4c your get alot more watts and amps on same prop
