Mike I had the optic 6 before upgrading to the 7 on nicads in tx and Rx.  I had enoloope all round no problems. It's when you go digital servo s that you have to keep on eye on Rx batteries Edited By RC Plane Flyer on 27/08/2017 10:16:23

I was just reading the thread and thinking the photos or comments on numbers could be a lead for some not nice person or people

I was not satisfied with the wire set up so replaced these with a 1.5 mm piano wire

How about Pegasus Models. The Magician is a lovely kit to build and fly.

Photos as requested Acro Wot ( Yellow ) is a solid wire set up, (red & white ) is flexible wires

Michael do you need any photos of wire loop systems ??

As an after thought you cold try 3 plastic bolt fixings using above method until you master your landing routine

If you look at the post before named Acro Wot Kit. There is the picture of an undercarriage with a spacer piece that helps you get broken plastic bolts out easier

Flashing blue light indicates range check mode. Try switching on Tx and press the button on the module to see if blue light stops flashing

Hi I have seen small elastic bands around the prop somehow to pull the prop folded when not powered up. Only disadvantage of this that the UV rays causing elastic to fail so have a few handy

Good Morning Mike. If memory serves me right. Both batteries in good charge first switch on Tx with the button held down in the module next switch on Tx with button held down as well some times the lights will flash Tx about 5 ft away switch off Rx and the Tx. Switch on Tx and then Rx all should be linked It is easier to have a separate battery on Rx instead of trying to switch on whilst linked to the ESC

All things above tried with little success. Decided to revamp the elevator set up cut the end tips off reshaped them a little and re fixed them back on as a fixed tip. Bingo great landing's without oversensitive elevator and gentle glide in without the nose wanting to lift. Thanks to all who gave advise.

Is that  a Drone I can here ?  Trust it does not effect our flight patterns Edited By RC Plane Flyer on 13/07/2017 14:17:51

Short Update In between Latte's and painting outside I have managed to up rate the undercarriage, try a heavier 2650 Lipo well forward and now have a 93 mm C Of G. An alternative is back to my 2200 Lipo and 65 gm of lead on motor box

Still here asking questions My Apex motor comes in at 102 grams the Hacker as mentioned above 143 grams A quick c of g re balance is looking like 170 grams under the motor pod assembly to get to he 90mm mark even with a heavy 2.2 lipo tucked well into the motor pod area. Will have a nice Latte Coffee and a rethink

Have you seen YT International web pages Kit on there around the £80 mark

Hello Piers. What I should have put in the wording was I reduced the rates down by 65% from the original movement as above. I fly most of my models at -30% have increased the expo on this one to -45% to try and eliminate the sensitivity. I am intrigued by the c of g and give that a try thanks for the information

Short update. Took a quick time out this afternoon and after recheck of all settings away we go but elevator control was still fierce short flight and got it down okay. Lowered the elevator down to 45 % and better control in a turn etc but coming into land still oversensitive on elevator tried moving battery but still not smooth enough for me. Will have to take a closer look at the wrap around elevator.

Galaxy Models used the ply insert method in the wings on two models I built

Just a thought. A 65 ax for a new flyer may be on the powerful side do you have anything smaller ?

Hi Colin. Just measured the points on my wing and it is 65mm from leading edge

Short update The kit instruction are saying its a 2007 model ( Red and White ) and mentions its improved from the 2006 model but not in any detail. I have reset the motor with no down thrust and doubled checked and there is a little right thrust, . rebuilt the undercarriage area and about to reassemble the wing on to the model to recheck on the CofG. It looks like mid week before I can get another test flight. Thank you for your inputs and will report back

Hi All Just done a check on the set up with spirit level on wing thrust line and checked for zero incidence at rear and can see the down thrust in the motor set up, this is the set up in the manufactures light ply box arrangement. I can reset this on the way I mounted the motor to the ply box. as advised above one thing at a time. There looks to be a lot of right thrust as well

Apologies for some lack of information its an Electric model 3S lipo with 330 watts of power

Hello Forum Members, just completed a Hyperion Cap232 and took for a maiden flight, just a little windy and a good take off but I struggled to get it down smoothly .. The CofG was set as instruction but it seems it wanted to lift its nose steeply when powering of for a glide in. Which way should I adjust the CofG to get a smoother glide I am thinking it could be slightly nose heavy. Any advice would be welcome
