Could be the kyosho version of the agwagon.

Thanks guys. Managed to find the Low Position trim which is what I needed

I have so far managed to work things out as I have gone along on my new journey into frsky. But my first real struggle is setting up the throttle on an ic engine. I want to end up with a stick that moves from idle at fully back position to full throttle at fully forwards position and then a switch that when activated cuts the engine. At moment I just have a setup that has throttle control moving the engine carb from fully closed to fully open. where do I go next please? thanks all.

Thanks Philip. 👍

Thanks. Doing this now, but notice that whilst github has version 1.4.8(your link), frsky website only seems to have 1.4.5 for ethos suite. Could someone please explain why the difference and which I should be using / trust? Thanks

thanks GG and PL3. Looks like I may have a busy weekend ahead of me. 😀

Ok thanks for your thoughts MB. I guess I keep trying to compare to Windows based PCs where after a while they tend to slow and become more ineffective the more you use them and so benefit from a reset every so often. Happy just to delete models in this case.

Thanks guys. with it being second hand is there any benefit in doing some sort of factory reset?

I am new to open source, having used Spektrum for many years but thought I would give it a try. Have got myself a second hand X20S from a trusted source and about to order a couple of basic frsky 4 or 6 ch receivers to get started with. Only looking to use the most basic functions on some simple foam and IC models. Any recommendations on how to approach this journey please?

I am looking for ideas please on a good diy discharge station for getting lipos back to storage voltage without waiting for a normal charger to do it. thanks.

Thanks DW

Wow, nothing??? @GrumpyGnome, with reference to your Heroes post, this could be the first ever BAD Chris Foss design. ?

Anyone still flying a mini wot 4 are they all in storage or bins now? Want to revitalise mine and start flying it again maybe with upgrades so looking for any more up to date experience please. Thanks

RCM&E is the only paper reading material I engage with. Reading it normally involves a cuppa and a comfy chair preferably outside in the sun. If it went digital only I doubt I would bother reading it.

I have a large bottle of aliphatic glue that I need to decant into more useable smaller bottle. Anyone got any links to a decent bottle they have good experiences with please? Thanks

I have a a couple of old 2 stroke engines which I would like to clean up and get them somewhat closer to looking new again. How does everyone go about this please. I have seen some ideas that simply say stick them in a pan of boiling water but I cant believe it is that easy otherwise I am sure many more of us would have shiny engines on the front of our planes? Thanks

Thanks John. This one is purely a fun (easy, quick and cheap) build in a design that I like the look of so will be happy to fly this without the need for it to tear through the clouds. With that in mind, I think your suggestion of putting in the 45 is a reasonable one and most likely my starting point. Thank you

I decided that I didn't have enough projects on the go ? so have started to put together my recently acquired (Thanks Jonathan M) Galaxy Models Musketeer. I want to use a four stroke and subject to them passing the working test, current choices could be..... Saito FA45 Saito FA-50 Enya 40-4c Open Rocker (not enough I assume?) ASP 52 (currently planed for Acrowot) Any thoughts and experiences as to my best option? Thanks

Thanks Keith but I was too late for it.

Must be working and also sensibly priced! Thank you

Thanks guys. I think that I may as well invest some time in getting the engine plumbed in and flown. But, I will still look out for something slightly larger to install when I find it. (please let me know if anyone has something like a 65 or 70 four stroke they want to sell ? ). Thanks

I picked up a second hand acrowot some time ago with an unknown four stoke fitted. Upon inspection it was an ASP 52, which looks like it was only fitted to teh front to sell teh plane and never flown with it (control rod not linked to throttle). So, question is will the plane fly ok with it installed as I don't have anything larger? Thanks

I have a cameo 3 that I bought as a bundle form MDP supplies (really good service).... MDP Supplies Cameo 4 It came with everything I needed (cutting mat, auto blade, squeegie, transfer tape, etc) and I got 20 or so sheets of normal vinyl and a smaller selection of heat transfer vinyl. The latter I have used on T-shirts etc with the kids. The latter for loads of different things. I also run solatrim through it. I use cutting mat a lot but not all the time. Role of transfer tape is essential. I only have the free software but it does everything I need including creating outlines from JPEGS.

Placed an order online Wednesday at 9pm. Parcel turned up today (Friday) lunchtime. I really can’t fault that service. ?

I wear glasses and have not had any issues with the Force 8.
