  1. On my Pupetteer, the yoke is the arming plug.
  2. I've been using arming plugs for years, indeed I published something on it years ago in RCME, so nothing new. Point of failure, true there is a possibility, but its never happened to me and almost all my models have them. However, as a safety feature is is very well worth it. I never fit the arming plug until the model is on the take off strip.
  3. Good for keeping the tired old brain cells exercised though. 😄
  4. Self levelling is very useful for checking the flight surfaces respond in the correct way when setting up the model. It also acts as AFU mode (all f@@@ed up mode). A quick flick over to self levelling and back is occasionally useful when you lose orientation of the model. You can also put this on a button, so that a quick press can get you out of trouble, but don't hold it down. I use one of the buttons on the back of my Tandem X20.
  5. Yes they are backward compatible, BUT the setup for a SR6 is subtly different, which is a right pain.
  6. Model Fixings : https://modelfixings.co.uk/ Also have a look on sites like Banggood and Temu. They often sell boxes of screws, nuts and washers which are good value:
  7. I've got some Zeee 4S 3300 batteries and they are excellent, with a noticeable power improvement. Indeed after buying a couple to try them out, I now have 4 more. I've also got some 3S ones as well and they well outperform similar batteries
  8. After 3 prangs with my Speccy system within 2 weeks all caused by radio problems I changed to FrSky. We do get interference down at the field, and most regular fliers changed away from Speccy, mostly to Futaba. I'm pretty much the only one with FrSky gear, but no regrets and the few crashes I have now are certainly down to pilot error. The investment in FrSky stuff was not painful at all, indeed I sold all of my receivers for more than the new FrSky ones cost. I'm right at home with OpenTX, and now slowly migrating to Ethos and my X20.
  9. My new electric Acro Wot was a pig to fly until I moved the CofG a good cm forward from recommended, loads of noseweight, 4000 5S battery as far forward as it would go, tail as light as possible.
  10. With a new setup, I do a ground range check, its usually a long walk. Then being a Frsky system I do a couple of test flights and examine the range telemetry data afterwards. This tests the model on full power and in all orientations. Incidentally being Frsky, you get a warning on every flight if there is a range problem.
  11. Look on the bright side Tim, it gives the old brain a workout, and helps stave off dementia for a little longer (or so I keep trying to convince myself).
  12. Tim, try unplugging any other devices on USB. I found the printer interfered with mine.
  13. Expensive treacle at that. 😒
  14. It says the Neuron 2 will be upgradeable using Ethos 1.5 which is not yet available. If using OTX, the LUA script seems to need an ESC firmware update:
  15. I'm have no idea what outcome you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to make a foolproof switch to enable and disable the throttle? @MattyB I did write all of it. Gave up updating it when a whole range of other transmitters were included and it just became too complicated to include all the possible transmitter variations.
