Fly Boy 3

Forgot to mention you exellent virile. Thank you very much.

WOW, what a great idea Phil. Distance is the key. I don’t know about a channel indicator, but I could easily set up a led and battery circuit and clip leds to control surfaces in turn. Thank. You. Eric

Hi all, Cannot find suitable info on how to do a range check on this radio other than a long walk. Has any have a better idea ? Also what is actually meant by “full range”. Thank you.

Hi all, any one know an easy way (rather than a long walk) to range check a FlySky i6 radio. Also what does “full range “actually mean. Thank you

I agree David. I was told the smaller cc size engines were fine, but larger ones had a different carb and were not so reliable. Cheers

In suitable weather I fly my Super scorpion with the much maligned MDS engine which over the years has proved faultless. Built in 1973 I call my “best “ flier lol.

I do think the advice given by Chris ( first answer) should be looked at. These models look beautiful and by all means buy one if you can afford it, but as another forumite said, “ both water based like swimming and fishing” You know your own capabilities, so go for it if you think it’s the right thing to do. Best of luck.

Great video to watch plus the build. You are what we can call a true modeller. Rectifying problems as they arise, well done.

It looks like a flier Neddy, nice build too. I seem to like the look of models with large wing spans lol. Cheers Have a good maiden.

Hi all, have a foam board project soon for my grandson. Not sure what model yet, just wondered where can I source foam board, can it be sent by post / courier as there is no such shops around me. Thanks

Thanks lads for the info, nice illustration John, got it.

Thanks for interesting information. I useDeans connectors, that’s the reason for former question. Thank you.

How ieasy to solder leads to bulb connections may I ask ? Cheers

Leccy flier. What connectors do you use on your Lipos please ?

Good thinking Neddy.

Nice, apparently foam board is far cheaper than Depron too. Where is it available from please ? Thanks. Does foam board come with paper on it as well. Cheers

over the years I have seen many models with small vertical winglets at the end of each wing tip. Do these add to flying qualities or just look cool ? Thank you.

Built this Pushycat yonks ago. Only needs a prop and some courage to hand launch it lol. Cheers

Brilliant, that says it all.

Nice bit of flying , the landing was superb like a butterfly with bad feet, A good one. Thanks

Thanks all for your valuable information. It’s a bit of a learning curve for me but I’m on the way due to my forum friends. Cheere

As an electric newbie I have tried to read as much asI can before asking silly questions. As a ic nut of over 50 years of flying, I could eye up a model, put a 40,60 or 90 motor plus right size prop and away to go. Not so with electrics lol. Ok, for a start I use the80-100w /lb for motor. I would like to use a 3s battery and appropriate sized esc. What I need now is a KV NUMBER TO FLY SPORT PLANES. Would this be low around 950 1500 kv. I would then try a selection of props and a watt meter. THANK YOU.

Will do when I can John. Cheers

Thanks Geoff, not concerned with power change, more concerned with using wings not designed for the plane, and finding correct CoG. Thank you.

Just remembered, one model was called Josephine (Traplet) the other is a Tigermoth Cheers
