I use a radiomaster pocket for slope soaring, very happy with it. I didn’t get on with the TX16 due to its size, my small hands couldn’t reach the switches and I found it too heavy. The boxer worked better for me, only found this out by fondling other club members TXs which I’m pleased I did before buying on paper specs alone.

Until passing my A I followed the advice above. There will be plenty of time after to work out for yourself what functions you do and do not want to use from your TX.

Location?

The two local clubs to me have now been unflyable due to saturate ground for 5 months.

My nearest clubs field has now been waterlogged for 5 months, the farmer has never known a year like it and there’s no sign of the field drying out yet.

Good morning on the slope yesterday with a Wildthing 60. 4725117e-cf0c-492e-8553-428714ead16a.mov

Do the sound files for special functions on Ethos need to be in the root Audio folder, not the En folder?

Yes https://blog.bambulab.com/a1-recall-update/ Mine does exhibit signs of damage to the outer insulation but I'm still using it, under supervision only, and will fit the redesigned heat bed when available..

After years of fiddling with Ender 3’s my A1 has been a breath of fresh air, good quality, consistent and reliable prints. Note there is a design issue with the heat bed hence they’re not available for purchase until the redesigned heat bed is ready, should be soon. Existing owners have been told not to use the printer and either return it for a refund or wait for the redesigned heat bed to be sent for self fitting.

Ask your instructor what’s required for you to be signed off for solo flying as I guess each club will have it’s own requirements. My club signed me off for solo flying before I did my A, what they expected was a very safe approach to flying and a reasonable standard of take offs, circuits and landings.

This was drilled into me for months, practiced in all weather conditions and has paid off. Find out what you need to fly solo at your club and concentrate on that as once you’ve achieved this your flying window opens up.

So so so pleased for you Toto, your patience and tenacity has been rewarded. 😁 That feeling of your first landing is fantastic and a big milestone, onwards and upwards. 👍

A bit more progress, the list of jobs left for completion is getting shorter.

Very interested to see what techniques you come up with for this mix of materials. 👍

Here's one reason for them on wings https://forums.modelflying.co.uk/index.php?/topic/53659-slope-wing-yaw-wobble/&ct=1711558523

The issue might be something else, you can update the IR4 module using an alternative method via a PC/Laptop which has worked for me. The procedure using the "Flash-Multi" utility is documented on this page https://www.multirotorguide.com/guide/updating-the-multi-protocol-module-firmware/, scroll down to the section titled "Update external multi protocol module using Flash Multi" and the latest firmware can be obtained from from this page https://downloads.multi-module.org/ using the "MULTI-Module Selection" drop down list.

Have you calibrated your temperature and flow rate? https://colorfabb.com/how-to-print-with-lw-pla

No Ferrari in my team, McLaren👍👍

That’s great news 👍

Thank you @dave windymiller, pleased you've gone ahead and documented this, I'll be making one, very much appreciated. 👍

Had second thoughts about this, not worth taking the risk of a PETG mount distorting or melting from the engine temperature. Now in a proper mount. On for completion next week.

No need to upgrade if your current TX does all you need, sounds like your fellow club members have been taken in by the Spektrum marketing department.

Really enjoyed that, nicely filmed video, thank you 👍
