Thank you nick, elevon B it is. I am oh so thankful of your advise. I have been stuck on this for so long, mainly due to the inability to concentrate correctly. I am as happy as i pig in Shit!!!!! Bas

now I am stumped I cant find reccomended servo connections anyway. bas

I will try to input, My problem arises as I am taking strong painkillers after an op and lack of sleep ,my brain does not function correctly. Thanks for your understanding and time. Thanks Bas

sorry chaps whats been said has left me cold.can I ask for a step by step job please. RX AR630.... 2 servos plugged into Elevator and Rudder. TX spektrum 8e, recent version.

thank you for your comments , I need time to explore my TX many thanks Bas

I have decided to build my first powered glider. With help from another club member who has got me started I have embarked on a mission to build my first glider, had a hankering for some while. Seems a majestic path to follow. I am recovering from a recent op' and are confined to home and luckly have an understanding wife who has agreed to put up with a bedroom come workshop. My fellow member got me started, but being in full time work I am loth to keep badgering him with to many questions. The model in question is a much modified V tail model. it has 3 channels, motor and two others using I assume rudder and elevator . I can make several guesses how the tail functions but my theories are based on a clever transmitter able to translate the control of the two fins. Can some one please explain what should be the function of the control surfaces. using two servos. Many thanks Bas

thank you for your reply.Understood.Bas

Can some one detail the use of self adhesive 'Tape' hinges on control surfaces please. At what angle should the 'Meeting' edges be?. How far into the 'Gap' should the tape go. I am sure that an experienced user would know all the parameters. Thanks in advance . Bas

Thats good info Peter, I was aware that a lower voltage would present problems . Now I have a possible solution from your advise. I have some large Lipo's each one is at least several hours to run down on the charger , whereas its in minutes using auto bulbs. I try say 5 mins then after a check work out what time for the rest of the charge, allowing a liitle for the final charger run to the correct level. Far quicker................... Bas

Thank you gents, 35% it is then. It takes forever using the discharge on a charger. I am using 12v auto bulbs to initiate the discharge, with a check on the charger to finish. Bas

What is the recommended minimum charge level of a Lipo for storage please.Thank you in advance Bas

Toto, you are all to correct there, if they really want to get in they will, they dont worry about damage. All you can do is to make it as difficult as possible. Best regards, enjoying the trip. Bas

Toto, I know its all to easy to be piccy ,have you considered that a screw driver/clawhammer behind the hinge mountings ( On the frame)will very easily pull them off!!!!! Security is only as good as its weakest point. I am sure you are already aware of that. Bas

Looks really super.Bas
