The STM8S003F3, if I have read it correctly, is a timer chip. It looks like it had a flying lead to connect to the receiver, which is no longer there at the top of the board with signal, positive and negative from left to right respectively. The signal connects to channel 13 which is a timer I/O. My guess as to what it does is that it is a retract timer with three servos activated at different times dependent on the program the chip is running. What next fit a lead and three servos and see what happens, probably nothing if its a failed device which had its rx connecting lead removed. Steve

My Next Assembly ( The Trilogy ) Phoenix 60 EP
EarlyBird replied to toto's topic in Build Blogs and Kit Reviews
I agree it does look like a two piece wing but in the manual PH036-Tiger 3 A4 25 (phoenixmodel.com) They say glue together but also talk about a dihedral brace and box. Looks like they have updated the pictures but not the words. Steve -

I think you are talking about the strain relief boot.
-
Checking how the engine will fit, side mounted. Looks fine so I will go for that and drill the holes. F1 needs cutting to size. Steve
-
Coming to the end of the jig work with just F1 to place and trial fit the engine. First time for me so not that sure of what I am doing and there will be plenty of thinking time. Steve

Have you fitted a centring bush for balancing? Fit the smallest.

Just tried this and it works well. The only risk is that something interesting could be missed.

That's a relief for me, maybe I will sleep tonight.🤣

Add them to your ignore list.

My next assembly ( The sequel ) ..... The Phoenix Domino EP

The black wire soldering looks poor. The bucket should be full of solder. The red wire looks strange as the insulation is inside the bucket. Steve -

The two ESC that don't work you soldered the EC5 connector on. The ESC that required no soldering works. Also your mentors ESC worked which you did no soldering on. A pattern emerges. -
Join servo connectors to a multipin

Just put it in the jig and for the first time ever everything lines up square. I must be getting better at this lark. 🤣 Steve

George at 4max is the same on both counts. -
Added the other side then checked for alignment, made adjustments, checked again when satisfactory glued in place. Then checked again just to make sure. ☺️ F1 has not been fitted because it needs moving back for the FG-11. Steve
-
Ply doublers added and F2 glued. Then indecision struck again so started something that had been waiting and added to the pile of wings.🤣 Feeling guilty I returned to this build. Battery location on F4 set up. Holes drilled for cable ties. Then F3 and F4 glued in place That wasn't hard as no decisions were required. Steve

Nothing that can't be fixed, is what I have learned. Sarik will provide all the wood parts that are shown on the plan, the AWP will contain more than enough sheet and strip wood for the build. Steve

I had issues with the quality of my workmanship on the fuselage. This has now been resolved based on my experience with Hound Dog. It will be flown, both of them. Destiny is in the queue as I have the cut parts and plan, from SLEC. Clearly my builds are to the design size but I had thought of making Destiny larger and 74" sounds good to me. Steve
-
Unfortunately not. 😞 but it's on the list to finish near the back of this pile. What size are you going to build? Steve
-
Did as you said Ron. Added clear plastic between the two, seemed a good idea. 🤣 Nice bit of detail Peter. Just the ply doublers to add then on to the fuselage jig. More fun to come. Steve
