I realise this is an old thread but hopefully someone will read this, I've been using these current/voltage sensors successfully since the beginning and now have a few of them. I've installed two of them in a twin EDF but have found the ID (No.2) conflicts with each other so my Radiomaster with Edge TX won't read them individually. With Frsky sensors you can change the sensor ID with a servo channel changer but this only works for Frsky sensors.
Is there a way to change the sensor ID of these current/voltage sensors to stop the conflict.
Thanks in anticipation...

Try Pyramid Models, they will be able to make them.

Unfortunately Pyramid Models can't do them...

Got in contact with Chris Foss, unfortunately they no longer do decals for the Wots Wot as there's not enough call for them..

I had a look at his website it doesn't appear to have been updated for decades, found a phone/fax number (who still uses a fax) and left a voice message...
The premises from the postcode on google street view looks somewhat dilapidated..

Does anyone know if its possible to get decals for the Wots Wot and where from ?

I built the RCM&E 27MHz FM set for 1/12 car racing, using SLM supplied parts, in the 80s because I was fed up with the interference that was endemic at these meetings. It had the new-fangled VMOS output transistor.
I did the same, I'm sure its still around somewhere amongst other redundant radio equipment..

Hi,
I used to have an IC version of an old plane called a Purple Haze from a plan back in the 70's /80's I believe. It was a pocket rocket of a plane that gave me hours of fun over countless flights, till I went across the strip at full chat inverted and hit up elevator when I should've hit down. That was a good number of years ago.
I'd love to build another one but can't seem to find a plan. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or does anyone still have a plan knocking around that I could photocopy?

I have the plan of the electric Haze if you were interested

I use Ecalc a lot to calculate motor loads with different props, takes out the guess work when trying to find the best prop size required. Its not free but you can try out the program with reduced capability for free.
Not only does it do prop sizing but so many other things as well, C of G, performance calc even calculations for EV charging.

Transformed for the better or for the worse?
Could you please provide more details, such as the plane's weight, props size, how many Lipos (voltage), motors' type, power, and KV?
Thanks.
The plane was based on a plan by Al Masters instead of being a built up balsa construction its all hot wire foam veneered. Its weighs 10.5 lbs, powered by 2x 3547 800kv motors with 12x6 3 bladed props and 2x 3300 mAh 4S Lipos.

In 1990 I built a 70" Dornier Do 335 which flew with 2 brushed motors and 35 nicad cells complete with air retracts, we used to attend quite a few electric fly-ins with it. Over 30 years later it has been re-motored with 2 brushless motors and Lipos, performance has been somewhat transformed.
The 1990 version
The 2022 version

A lot of talking not much flying 😀

I've recently bought one of these.. not used it anger but I've run a bit of paint through it as a test, all appears to work ok...

Not sure about the definition of a Swastika but on my FW Ta152 I printed them reversed so the tails face the other way.

Is it possible to install a touch screen on the Horus X10S ?

Hi Chris and Dennis
I still have seven spare PSB's of the early ones if required..
Cheers

I was struggling to get the BMP280 to work on my vario, having just read Chris's post i realise why. I'd been using a 5V Arduino. Doh.... (should have read the specs) Put another BMP280 on a 3.3v Arduino and its working, But on the bench test it doesn't appear to be as sensitive as the MS5611, the vario note hardly changes when the model is lifted up and down with the BMP280, if i put in the vario with the MS5611 with just a small movement the vario note changes a lot...
I will add that I've built 3 of the current sensors (one with a MS5611 vario board) and there all working fine.

Now go and read 'Sea Harriers over the Falklands' by Sharkey Ward, an excellent and outspoken account of the air war in the Falklands, somewhat scathing of the RAF attemps to bomb the airfield..
Build your own telemetry sensors.

Thanks Mike.
So can I use value say (GPS) 0x83 in place of 0x22 as I'm not using GPS ?
