Charging single cell Ni-MH glow plug stick.
Denis Watkins replied to John Wagg's topic in All Things Model Flying
John, With the correct input and Nihm selection, your B6 will charge a single cell glow driver. That is the combination I use all the time. As PhIl suggests, you have a polarity problem -

Making Old Timers More "Flyable"?
Denis Watkins replied to payneib's topic in General Vintage R/C Chatter
You are on the weight and size borderline David at 4lb I found that the 30 would fly 3lb and a bit by altering props too. Before giving up on the ASP30 and Guidato, try 10% nitro and a 9 x 5 prop to allow the 30 to rev -

We all spend time Dave, trying to make new innovative software run our old favourites but persevere with 11, the advantages are not obvious from day one, but I agree totally that it is scary loosing familiarity with our desktops. Slowly, I am finding Windows 11 to be ok and offers much to be discovered. I find start up so much quicker, and multitasking simpler. It took me a while to find a reliable Bluetooth for transfer between devices but 11 has proved positive every single time.

Your Tx is the Slave Toto Your instructor holds the Master Tx

Sounds like you have both running from one tank Craig? Also, are they mounted inverted? You have a a fuel/ pressure in the supply of more likely not - problem. Another check to be done is to visually look down the carb barrels to see that they are open fully with the throw stick fully up And conversely that the barrels are almost fully closed at low stick.

There are restrictions Smithy, as we fly " line of sight " Your receiver may be able to operate over 12000 feet, but would be way way out of sight. A model is barely attitude visible at 800 feet, and restrictions require us to operate within 400 feet without special permissions

This way up

Agreed that your driver and any interaction can have a bearing on deliveries. No matter how difficult, always be polite

Have just seen this post Robert, and want to point out that I get the opportunity after Every delivery to fill in an extended comment by email. The email delivery advise gives a dialogue box. Like others, my Evri experience has been excellent.

Motor Starts to Beep Whilst I'm Flying ... But Why?
Denis Watkins replied to Cliff 1959's topic in Gadgets and Electronics
Cliff, next time you are able, with the model tethered, or with prop off, check the failsafe, as it seems to be going full chat at Brown out. switch the transmitter off with motor running, to see if the motor throttles UP the motor should throttle down of course -

Experienced instructor requires your help.

I wish we had a few more members in the club like you Keith. You enjoy the features your club offers, and you fly, with a positive analytic attitude. You are there because you want to be. Flying a model is not easy, and I would just continue with your one input flying. You react to the model by brief one stick at a time control. This is not unusual. Multi inputs are pleasing when they come either naturally or by practice, practice and more practice. Drumming, driving or using a knife and fork are all contact sports, a direct input of hand or foot feels weight or pressure as a response produces an output. But flying a model, we are remote, often far away, is not a contact sport. And we have to process with our eyes, the shape we see in the air to point it a certain way at a certain speed in a certain moment ( not easy at all ) So continue to enjoy your flying one stick input at a time But practice on your transmitter that this much aileron, with this much elevator at the same time is a nice smooth turn and even better with a small increase input of power coming out of the turn and reduce lower again to cruise. That is multitasking in a simple turn, so orchestrate it in your mind 1st, then in the air, then build on this -

True on the different modes Frank, that trims may not duplicate. But the way I was shown as an instructor was that I would fly the Master, and take off, and be satisfied with the trim. On the Slave, other mode, a competent flyer would take the sticks and I would switch them into the model, that they then set the trims correctly on the Slave. -
My " Tony " was RC, and a total handful to fly, but the camouflage stuck with me and Jap style canopy.
