  1. We have also hooked it up to goggles and a head tracker, which was fun.
  2. Here is our test vid, you can see a little more of how it's fitted here. https://youtu.be/JRKFYbpBGC8 Muds

  4. Here you go, I use one of these now as my original cable split where the jack goes into the TX, that'll teach me for resting the TX on my lap! http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__52145__Wireless_9_in1_Simulator_Adapter.html Works fine. Mat

  8. It's good practice to loosen the prop bolts after a weekends flying, wooden props will indeed crush if left tight over time. I check mine at the start of each flying day.
  9. Ply is flat, and difficult to form to the wing shape, ally is prone to splitting with vibration and awkward to glue. I would and do lay up gear doors with several layers of glass cloth. I tape thin clear acitate sheet over the area, then mark on the acetate the outline of the required gear door/hatch whatever, then a layer of heavy duty cling film (the sort used for wrapping palletts) then lay up about 6-8 layers of lightweight glass cloth. After a couple of layers, mark with a sharpie on the cloth the outline of the door required, using the previously drawn shape as a guide, when you put the final couple of layers on the shape required is sandwiched inbeetween, once cured just cut out with scissors or a dremel. Hey presto, gear doors that conform perfectly to the wing.   Mud
  10. I have found, with those white plastic bellcranks readily available, that in time, they go an off white colour and very brittle. I lost a 80  ish inch Harvard to this. Servo in the wing where I can now
  11. YAY well done on the maiden flight, I'm glad it went well.   Mud
  12. Posted by batcho99 on 09/08/2010 20:48:12: I'm a building addict!!   Iain.  Yep me too I'm halfway through a 100" Dauntless (Jerry Bates), then I start a 1/3 scale Avro 504K (short kit hidden in shed) then I start a 1/3 Pfalz D.X11 (hidden upstairs lol). That's me for the next few years
  13. TN designs are ace to build, after the spit I built his Lanc(with the help of the short kit), and then his B17 (scratch built), but I sold those last year having moved away from leccy stuff somewhat. Every time I see Tony I ask him to double his B17 plan, i'd love to do a big version. He says he hasn't the time   Hand launch is fine, a good firm throw at a slight incline works well (I got a friend to launch mine). A similar thing to fly as the Ripmax Spit.   Mud
