DG1000M

Very nice looking model, I'm thinking of covering my Leprechaun XL in almost the same colors.

Building the wing was simple enough just by viewing all photos and parts, as the wing was being built, was surprised how strong and rigid it was. TP, Elevator, Rudder, Fin, again was simple enough to build, just by viewing all photos. Fuselage, a little more reading in the building instructions.

Yes it's big for sure, first step will be to get the Inside F5J completed and flying.

Thank you for all your posts and advice, and welcome them all, if this of course helps in buying a new transmitter, I also have still in it's box, a Dane RC Leprechaun XL with a 4m wingspan, with this in mind, guessing a new transmitter as guessing my DX6e will not be suitable for le for the Leprechaun XL.

Not in a hurry to press the buy button just yet, want to make sure I'm making the right choice before I buy, but of course welcome any advice given and thank you for this. With all the posts there is some difference in which the way people think on what is good and which direction to go. Where can I look at Mike Shellim templates.

Thank you. So if it is possible to work with the DX6e and of course save money which would help, has anyone else done the same with 4 aileron and 2 flap, throttle, elevator, rudder? Guess I would have to use Y leads for both flaps and ailerons. Trial for sure.

Thank you.

I will look at the AR10100T, and AR10360T, is there much of a difference inn both price and performance.

Just like Spectrum with it's features, even though it maybe single band RF protocol. Yes that's correct 2 planes on the DX6e.

Thank you. I'm sure that once I have ordered the NX8+ and when it arrives will have some questions on setup and advice from Nick which has been helpful. Yes the aim is to get the model complete and flying as this will be my first full-house thermal soarer. The way I look at things, is everyday is a learning day, always some new to learn.

Thank you for the link to the NX8+ manual, slowly having a read through it, I'm sure I will have some questions later, and try and point them in the right direction. Ok, just need to make sure that I have enough extension lead to reach the receiver.

Looks like at the moment I'm going to go with the NX8+, what 10 channel receiver is best to provide all the servo outputs that I will need, 4 aileron, 2 flap, motor, rudder, elevator? Also doing some other research on other transmitters that have been suggested, but at the moment I'm going for the NX8+, unless anyone has any other advice.

Hi Nick, I'm also currently looking at the 20-channel NX8+ which looks great, a much better option than the DX6e that I currently have. If I do go for the NX8+, will I still need to use Y leads?

Hi Jonathan, Need to have a good look at the manual for sure and see how easy or not it maybe to start setting everything up correctly, even though you say my DX6e is durable, have also been looking at the 20-channel NX8+, would this be a better option to go for or just stick with the DX6e for the time being. I have also been doing some testing / experimenting with the Etronx Sercon Master servo tester, I have a number of Y leads and also Y lead with 4 connectors, connected all 4 aileron servos and all work as suggested, ie, both left and both right ailerons work and move in the right direction which is good to know. Still need to do a little more work to complete the wing setup, but before I start covering will make sure all leads are correctly fitted, and of course take any advice given, which is a great help indeed. Thank you.

Grumpy, Just taken a photo of my Spectrum DX6e transmitter box, so looks like I will be ok for 3 flight modes on one switch, plus with the coupled rudder and ailerons. If I don't really need to buy a new transmitter then this will be great of course saving money, but near the time I'm sure I will need more help in setting up two extract every single drop of performance. So if I do jump from the Spectrum what would you suggest?
