I have a R8 pro ACCESS RX and a FLVSS Smart Port Voltage Sensor. The Rx has a smart port input and the FLVSS has a smart port output. The Telemetry on my X20 TX, is working fine with Access RX, however the Telemetry does not discover the voltage sensor. I have tried various ID numbers and Physical ID. After an hour of trying various other options, I have been unsuccessful setting this up. I have five FlVSS voltage sensors which all work fine with XR8 rx's ACCST. This suggests, although they all have an Sbus they are not compatible, unless somebody could advise me what I am doing wrong. I am beginning to think that all five of my current Voltage Sensors are obsolete and therefore need replacing with the latest version being advertised. If this is the case I won't bother buying further ACCESS receivers. Has anybody had any success setting up the above ?

Thanks Rich for for the info. I think you may be right in saying may be I pulling back on the rotors. I think I will try and level out a little, prior to making a turn after take off. Also try and reduce power as the climb out is about 45 deg. Cheers Alan

Hi Guys, Just how critical is blade weight ? I purchased what was classed as Medium density balsa on-line, from one of the main suppliers. After I made them and covered them with Profilm each of the finished blades weighed 48g. I noted from Rich's write up they should be 50-65g. I have raised this topic as I am not having a lot of success flying it. The model will take off fine and does not tend to roll left, or right, climbs away fine, at a reasonable air speed. However as soon as try and make a smooth turn the blades appear to cause a stall resulting in the model dropping out of the sky before I have time to react. On the first flight the blade were set 90 deg to the mast, recommended as the starting point. The C of G was set 50mm from the mast entry point. I used coolwinds plates and shims, so this should not be an issue. I was expecting to make some trimming adjustments. But have not managed to reach that stage. Using 6.5kg metal gear servos, 2mm rods. On the second fight I had increased the hang angle by few degrees, however this has not helped. Making some blade of a higher density balsa appears to be my only option. Alan

Hi, I have almost completed the build of the Gyroo, all gone well up until a minor hold up. Where do the two balsa parts marked on the drawing as B1 fit. I can't fathom it out ! hope you can help, Alan

 Hello Peter,                       just finishing my electric version of the CAP21. I am pleased to say the construction from the plan has gone very well. My only concern is the C of G.  I am assuming this is (next to the fuselage), on measuring up is about 74mm from the wings leading edge ?    I alway like to be clear on this point for obvious reasons. Thanks  Alan
