Throttle cut not in glider programming

Hi Frank, yes RS assingned to channel 3, will look at the throttle cut. Thanks fro replying.

Hi, I have a T8FG Super and I am struggling to set it up for an electric glider. In particular when flying F5J type competitions. I am using an Altis v4 height limiting device. I have set the motor to operate on the RS - right slider, it starts OK but if i want to power on in an emergency it will not re-start. The only way is to disconnect the battery, reconnect and all is OK. The issue is, i believe, having the RS signal time go below 1100µs. How can I set the RS slider to go below that figure? Happy to move it to another switch, preferably on the right-hand side of the TX if that helps. The settings on the Altis allow for emergency re-starts. Te throttle stick T3 is used for crow. Hoping someone can help or advise. Keith

This should help http://www.freewebs.com/sasepp/  Think I going to get one too. Never been sloping before but do thermal gliding. Happy New Year Keith

Thanks, read and understood. it's a pity I did not look at the receiver before switching off to pick up the bits and pieces. On further investigation I think it was to do with low battery level. Lesson learnt.  Ben

Hi all, we lost a Limbo Dancer today from about 50' in a final turn on a landing circuit. We have just started to use the Spectrum  modules in our FF9's and chose the AR 500 receiver primarily because of its size. We have followed the instructions to the letter but todays crash was certainly not pilot error. The plane simply continued to roll from the turn and went straight down. It landed / crashed in the biggest clump of grass and whilst it was on the other side of a dyke I operated the TX and to my surprise everything moved as it should. I range checked it in that position and was probably at least 25 paces away. The plane is a write-off and the receiver casing is cracked. Checked it again tonight and it all works again. Does anyone think its worth persuing with Horizon? To be honest I do not understand fully yet about brown outs etc. so any help would be appreciated. Ben  

Ok, found it.

Hi Timbo, curious to know how you show the link as THESE and available here to. Please advise Good advice about not going the lipo route just yet. Caould also affect the balance point of the model too. Ben

So how can I set up a standing order entry to these prize draws then?

Let's try again

Great photos. This show gets better each year and with the new layout I feel it made it even better

Bit sneaky trying to hide, yes please I'll have it

just checked the weekends lottery results so will have to continue to rely on winning prize draws. Mind you winning a prize draw would be good. Here's hoping again......

let's have another go then, thanks

Don't think I've entered this one yet

Like the look of this one too, yes please

Yes please.

Like they say, gotta be in it to win it. Here's hoping again

I'll keep trying.......

Gotta keep trying or is that hoping! Keith
