[Best position for FPV Tx Quanum Nova]

Thank you both for your replies,the Rx antenna was away from the tripod ,but obviously needs to be up high ,In the open.I have heard a lot about circular polarised antennas so will have a look on hobby rc,as for Tx I shall put it on top of the Quanum ,it will also be away from the Rx for controlling the Quanum and camera.I believe the Go Pro can emit interference.

[Best position for FPV Tx Quanum Nova]

I have just fitted my FPV Tx on my Quanum Nova, but at a distance of just 30 feet as it moves around I keep losing the picture,the monitor is on a tripod in the open ,transmitter is underneath next to camera mount aerial horizontal,both aerials are standard rubber ducks.Should it be on top with aerial vertical same as on monitor.

[Eachine ET 200 video tx]

Hi Essjay,thanks for your reply,I shall go ahead and see where I can fit it on my Quanum nova.

I have a Go pro 3 ,how does your Tx fit on to the Go pro?I have had to switch mine to 720 hd to get a narrower field of view,I did not like the ultra wide FOV.

[Eachine ET 200 video tx]

I am about to set up an Eachine ET 200 video tx on my multicopter ,and there is no protective cover on the transmitter,surely the static on your fingers could damage it.

How can I protect it? Obviously it is going to get hot and if I wrap it in insulating tape it will over heat,any ideas.

[Syma x5c]

Thanks Scot,I have just bought a new one off ebay £12 no Tx or camera,and I can use the faulty one for spares.

[Prop ballancer which one to buy.]

I have now bought the Dubro True Spin,very pleased with it.

[Bixler 2 flying very erraticly]

Thanks Chris,thats just what a friend of mine said.

[Syma x5c]

My little Syma x5c has one rotor that has stopped working ,is it possible to get a new esc for it.

[Bixler 2 flying very erraticly]

I have now had 3 flights this weekend with my new Bixler 2,but its very erratic motor cuts, slows down, speeds up its all over the place ,2 crash landings,balance is fine ,the second flight was fine in the middle once I cut the throttle to half way,taking off is very difficult.not an easy climb out.

The Dubro one looks good on you tube,bit pricey though at £39

[Installing servos foam wing Bixler 2]

Thanks Dave,I shall have a go at it in the morning,see what I can do.I like your idea with the tape.

The strip of foam under the wing will be glued in permanently over aileron and flap leads,if I need to remove a flap servo I can cut off the plug and pull cable out ,then rip servo out..as Pete said it holds the carbon wing tube in place ,I want a strong wing.

[Installing servos foam wing Bixler 2]

Guess what.The elevator servo is jammed ,won`t move at all just buzzes,glued in can`t get at it.

What can I do.

[Prop ballancer which one to buy.]

I shall have to look on you tube see what there is.Look up the ones recommended on here.

Thanks again

Chris.,

Is Clearcoat applied straight out of the can,my fuel proofer has to be mixed.

[Installing servos foam wing Bixler 2]

great idea Percy my only problem would be getting the servo lead out from under the strip of EPO foam which has to be glued down.

[Prop ballancer which one to buy.]

Hi Percy,I used to sand them but my prop balancer wasn`t much good so they were worse when I finished than they were before.I need some fuel proofer so I can get some clearcoat at the same time as my balancer.

[Installing servos foam wing Bixler 2]

Thank you both for that,I have a hot glue gun with bostik glue sticks,will use that,it did a great job on my weather station sensors.

[Prop ballancer which one to buy.]

Thank you both for your help,looks good,should all props be balanced?and do I just sand off the heavy end.

Chris

[Prop ballancer which one to buy.]

I am getting a bit of vibration on my Quanum Nova multi rotor and would like to balance my props,which one is best and easiest to use.

Chris

[Installing servos foam wing Bixler 2]

I have just bought a Bixler 2 and want to fit 2 small servos into the foam wing for the flaps, What is the best way to fit them in glue or double sided tape?

[Pusher prop on a glider]

Kiwi kid thanks for the links to the Ogar,looks realy good, bit too big for me though.Thanks for your diagram of the thrust lines very helpful.

Chris

[Pusher prop on a glider]

Thank you all for your replies,it would be nice to get it flying,I don`t want to give up, Simon I have looked at the Bixler for the thrust line,looks ideal for my FPV plenty of room in there,much better than messing with my glider,and I think its almost ready to fly.

[Pusher prop on a glider]

Is it possible to fit an electric pusher prop on my 6foot Simpleton glider on a pylon mount?many years ago I fitted an Enya 049 up near the nose which worked really well.Now I want to try FPV I need a rear pusher prop on the trailing edge of the wing so I can have the Go Pro with FPV on the nose with a clear view,first attempt is not very good,needs a lot of up thrust.

[Fuel tube sizes]

Thanks Chris,your large diameter thick wall tubing sounds a good idea,always a good idea to pressure test your fuel tank,had problems in the past with fuel supply.

Hi Andy,I have the same problem with o rings,I have a big box of every size I could possibly need.(that's what it says on box)except the one I want.

[Fuel tube sizes]

Hi Justin,thanks for your help,2 mm and 2.3 that's why they look the same but one is slightly bigger,I can now order some 2mm knowing it will fit.Hi Steve loose fuel tubing can cause all sort of problems including frothing up.I have some small cable ties,I could put some round my quick links on my control horns instead of using bits of fuel tubing.
