My Apprentice SAFE receiver, after two years use will not re-bind. As any one had the same experience? An e.mail to Horizon Hobby, was not of any forthcoming help; other than buy a new one !!
-
Can some one remind me as to how I calibrate my motor, for it to respond to my throttle movement. The Elev, Ailerons and the Rudder all respond to the transmitter, except the motor.
-
Has anyone converted the Black Horse Travel- Air to electric power ??
-
Thanks for your quick response ! It is for an E-Flite Apprentice, which is made of Z-foam. The label only states Solarfilm. There is no finish on the wing. I lost it in the sky because of the white colour and intend to put a dark cover on the underside of the wings.
-
Can Solar film be applied to a foam model ??

One of the other models that I put an eflr130031 safe receiver into, was a "Flying Super Model" Fokker Dv11. I had to follow advice from "Rcgroups"; which entailed making alterations, within my Spectrum D6 Tx. They have a designated Blog for " Installing Safe RX into another `plane". Members have added their modified models to a list, which is quite numerous.
With regard to my model, It does not take-off or land purely by it self; you have to control only the throttle and ensure the model is flying inline with the runway ! The safe Rx automatically, adjusts the other controls .

Hi, my interest in such Safe receivers is because I have, because of age 87yrs and recent heart surgery, I found it necessary to fly models with the EFLR310013 Safe Rx, for eg, Apprentice. However, I have been able to install this safe Rx into other models; which takes a lot of the anxiety away. There are 3 modes, beginner, intermediate and experienced. I fly mostly in the intermediate mode and if you aim the craft in line with the Runway, and slowly reduce the throttle, it will land by itself. I expect it would also Take-Off in the same manner but I`ve not tried that yet. Anyway thanks to all who contributed.
-
Is there a Safe receiver that enables models to take off and land itself ??
-
Can anyone recommend a mechanical winder, for a rubber powered model ??
-
I`ve found it, 77mm from leading edge of top wing !!
-
Hi,
When locating the C of G on a bi-plane , should it be on the top or the bottom wing ??
-
Hi Old John B, I`m 87 and my Safe receiver is a EFLR 310013 and I have had no trouble in binding it to my Fokker D V7.
-
The new switch works OK... Do not worry Lads, I will be careful !!!
-
This particular RX needs to be switch on, whilst holding it steady on the runway, to allow the ele, rud and elev to do a "dance", then she is read for flight !!!
-
Thanks to all. I have found what I am looking for on Ebay. "Blacksmith 8104". Without the signal wire ; Ail, Elev and Rud will work but the Throttle will not. I am using a Apprentice Safe RX.
-
I`m having difficulty in sourcing a JR/Spectrum on/off switch with a signal wire ! The on/off switch that I have, does not have a signal wire, resulting in no power for the throttle. I have searched on ebay but to no avail !! Can you help ??
-
Thanks Frank, it is the same model.
-
I have built an electric Fokker D V11 and the recommended power train is motor 800 kv , Lipo 4 cell 2200mAH and up, ESC 50 amp, Prop 12x6 - 12x8. I have a surplus motor 700kv, 70 amp ESC and three cell lipo 3200mAH, which I would like to use on this model. Can anyone advise me as to which size Prop, I should use ?
-
That is where I used to get them from but they are over 1inch now. It is the same in the shops that sell pins. IT appears they are not stocked any more.
-
I am having difficulties in finding 1inch pins, suitable for pinning mylar hinges on a light model airplane. Any longer pins such as over 1 inch tends to bend. Are there any alternatives to pins?. Cocktail sticks are to large.
-
Hi Chris, It is for a new kit Fokker D V11. I would not want it to be any longer than 3 mins. Just long enough to re-position, if necessary ! Happy New year to you both !!
-
I`ve tried to find the answer to my problem, by searching through the many past threads on this subject but there is so many !
I`m wanting a glue for fixing balsa wing ribs, that has an approx, 3 minute setting time, to ensure the ribs are correctly set. I use CA normally but it does not give me time to reposition. Please advise!!
-
It`s scrapped !! Eric.
-
Thanks Dave, Jon & Denis for your advice but before I throw it away; there is one other matter that has arisen. Whilst lying idle the battery voltage has risen to 7.0v. Is there still any hope??
