Thanks to everyone who replied. I still have brain ache. Looks like I will be going back to my old Futaba 6Ex. It seems quite difficult to choose a new system these days. Cheers John

Hi, The Horus is running Frsky OS, Does this make the books irrelevant? It is ACCST Thanks for the replies . Cheers John

Hi, trying to set up this radio is giving me brain ache.I think the answer to my problems might be found in this book. T9 sell them but are out of stock. The title is” Horus X10 Express Open Tx 2.3 user manual” by Lother Thole. If anyone has a copy they no longer need I would be very greatfull. Cheers John.

Using FrSky OS. Thanks for the replies so far. Cheers John

Hi all, I have a Horus x10 s & and a S6R that I’m trying to set up in my Warbirds FW190. I’m having difficulties in setting up the rates & also the gyro settings gain etc. Can anyone please help with the procedures. There needs to be a “Horus for Dummies” book. Thanks John.

Hi Ron, I’m nearing the end of the Tempest build & it now has some paint on it. I was wondering where you settled on for the cg position & what control throws you used. It looks as if I will need 12 oz lead in the cowl to achieve the cg on the plan. Cheers John.

Thanks for the advice. The situation isn’t desperate as I do have another 6EX which is almost unused. I will, however ,remove the pc board & see if I can find the fault. I have tried the switch cleaner. Thanks for the help. John

This TX has served me well for many years. It has developed a fault. The data input lever now only works in one direction. I can no longer adjust the dual rates or the expo. Can it be fixed or is it a scrapper? Any ideas please.

I’m cracking on with the build, not too far behind the leaders. Will be fitting the servo boxes in the wings & doing the fuselage decking today. Enjoying following the thread, thanks chaps. I have fixed the leading edge problem by gluing a strip of balsa , 1” by 3/32” to the top of the wing core. This has enabled a good leading edge profile to be sanded. Tallyho, John.

First flight of the 190 on Wed . No drama everything perfect. Thanks Richard , it’s a cracking model. The Tempest kit has just arrived today. How good is that?😀😀 John

Hi, here is another one ready to go. I wanted to try Richard’s monochrome finish, I think it has worked well. It has a Quantum 40 motor, about 700 watts on a 12 x 6 prop & 4s 4000 lipo. The cg is at 85 mm. Is that OK? Can you remind me of what the control deflections should be please? I have really enjoyed this build & following the numerous threads, can’t wait to start on the Tempest. John.

That went well👍👍

The dolly on the right was used on a FW 190d. The 2 wires, about 1/14 inch long, just plugged into 2 tubes , very loosely, in the bottom of the fuselage. The tail rested on the ground. The other dolly was used on Curtis Hawk. The rear of the dolly hooked over the trailing edge. The “ hooks” are from flexible foam about 1/4” thick.The tail of the model is on the ground & could be steered with the rudder. I think that next time I might extend the dolly fit a tail wheel. Ron, what size motor do you recommend & have you an ideal position for the cg? Thanks for the excellent videos. sorry about the inverted photos.6

Here are 2 dollies I have used.Both have worked perfectly, never had a failed launch.

Well done Eric.You don’t mess about do you?
