    Vintage gliders

    in General Vintage R/C Chatter

    Posted

    The Mobius holder is made of 10 mm balsa, 34 cm long and 10 cm high

    You can put a counter weight on the other wing, but normally only a few click on the trim is ok on a 2,5 meter plane.

    I have flown it on a Lidl glider but on such a small glider a counter weight is nice,

    From DX8 to DX8 G2 or DX9

    The DX8 gen 1 and DX gen 2 model files are not transferrable, so you have to reprogram all of your models back in.

    At this webpage you can change the DX8 g1 to G2 files, and it's working great smiley

    Just get the DX 9 smiley

    Program DX G2

    3. If you program a flying wing with 4 flap wing, then set it up as a glider with 2 ailerons and V tail. Outer flaps are ailerons and inner flaps is the elevator/rudder
      Then a mix: Aileron- rudder, to get the elevators to go as ailerons.
      Then a mix: elevator- L aileron, to get the ailerons to go as elevator. And then set the Dual rate for the rudder to % to disable the rudder stick.
      At camber system you adjust the aileron up in Crowbrake and after this preset Mix: Flap – elevator, here you set the elevator down in the Crow, after this you go to camber system and just the offset so that both aileron and elevator start to move at the same time when using the throttle stick.
      If it is a 4 flap flying wing you can set the crow brake on a switch and set it up in flight mode in the Camber preset.

    1. Program DX G2

    4. Camber system: Glider, here you adjust landing flaps/ crow brake and which switch or stick you will use for it. (In crow brake not more up aileron when using the crowbrake that when using the ailerons the aileron that going down must go down to neutral, in this way you still have good aileron control. And if you use flight modes you have to set it in all FLT modes you use.
    5. MIX: Flaps- elevator, here you adjust the elevator compensation when using the landing flaps (Camber system) and adjust the offset so that the elevator start moving when the flaps is moving when using the throttle stick to control it. 2 mm down elevator when using the flaps is a good starting point.
    6. Mix: Ailerons- flaps, here you adjust all span ailerons
    7. Elevator- flaps, here you adjust the Aileron –rudder, here you adjust snap flaps
    8. Aileron –rudder, here you adjust as described
    9. Set up the spoken Flight modes and switch change sounds
    10. Set up telemetry in auto config.
    11. Motor planes with flaps: you can go to elevator dual rate and set the switch to flt mode/ flaps switch and then set it so you still have full up elevator movement, when using the flaps and have set down elevator compensation, in this way you still have enough up elevator to pull up in the landing when using the flaps
    12. Set the timer

    Just use the glider set up

    My easy set up on the Spektrum:

    Program DX G2

    1. Select plane type: Chose always glider type if you want to use spoilerons or flaps. Use motorplane if it is a flying Wing.
    2. Select wing type. Activate motor if it is a motor plane or motor glider.
    3. Trim set up: set to FL mode
    4. F mode, Activate switch 1, 2, 3, for flaps on motorplane, maybe more if you want to use more than 3 flight modes on a glider.
    5. Put in the servo plugs in the receiver. Use the monitor to see this.. It can change for each wing type
    6. Servo set up: Set the right directions and sub trim the servos.
    7. Set the travel for the servos
    8. Ailerons differential, not too much because this can be a problem when using spoilerons and flaps
    9. Dual rate and expo, 50% on ailerons and 40% on elevator and rudder is a good start.
    10. Camber preset: Motor plane/Glider, here you adjust: Motor plane: Flaps up/ take off flaps/ landing flaps and elevator compensation and how fast the flaps move. Glider:Flight modes as Thermal /cruise/speed and how fast it changes
