Skippers Walker started following Slec Limbo Dancer Wing Kit and Sunrise 30a ESC Issues (new)
-
I have installed this ESC into a 2.9M Introduction F5J. The TX is a Futaba T6K. The usual basic set up instructions, respecting the throttle reverse position for Futaba have been followed. When attempting to advance the throttle slowly, the initial revs increase commences only in 3 very definite increments before being able to advance to the 'full' throttle position! I'm puzzled about this situation and wonder if there is some way of 'resetting' ESC and recommencing the set up? I have tried using a Sunrise 2 programme card but without effecting any change to the throttle issue! After fitting another brand of ESC the motor operates normally. Has anyone any suggestions or ideas about this apparent problem please? SW

Well said🤫

That's interesting John, thanks for the information. SW

Perhaps I just got lucky. The roll I purchased was 20% off the 'list' price and was a solid red colour. It may have been old stock. I'll certainly be wary about buying anymore, it seems from the comments that it's a bit of a lottery buying other covering film. Oracover is so reliable but also so expensive now! ED; does your LMS do a postal service please? SW

That's a shame Paul. I also patched a few places elsewhere and it appears to have adhered OK. Time will be the test I guess. My only other comment is to say the Aerofilm does seem to me to be more temperature critical than Oracover. I found 120C to tack and 135-140C to finish. Definitely no hotter than 140C! SW

Perhaps? Thanks

Just a comment about this covering film. I've used Oracover/tex for many years in preference to other Chinese stuff. With an old, much repaired wing to recover, I chose to try the Aerofilm material as an experiment and to save cost. At at least half the cost of the German covering, I have, surprisingly, found the Aerofilm excellent to use. The finish is superb and adhesion perfect. In my opinion what's not to like? SW

Almost too much information for an 80+ fixed wing flier to absorb. Maybe I'll park my idea for a while! Thanks for all the contributions and opinions🤔 SW

Success! "Parallels -Windows" software download for Mac OS plus Realflight package and a Futaba (SFHSS) Dongle. You Tube certainly helped. Cheers Folk for your help SW
-
Thanks for all your responses, I'll certainly try again on You Tube. SW

Is there a suitable simulator programme that is compatible with a Futaba T6K TX and a Mac OS Laptop (2024) please? I've searched but without success so far!

Love the Junior 60 David, still a favourite of mine too. I've always had too many kits or projects around the little workshop. I do like building but take forever to finish even the most simple of models. Nothing better than being in the workshop on a windy wet day with a mug of tea and biscuits on the side! After all you are what you are, as another scribe has written "it's a hobby not a job". Just enjoy yourself😊 SW

Out of curiosity would this fit an older version of the Evolution Fusion? They look very similar in rib profile, span and construction. SW
