Nice one @Ron Gray, I look forward to hearing that music soon.

Well I am well and truly stuffed!!

 

Forgot my predictions!

Mentioned above - EdgeTx has disable/enable touch screen :-

 

 

 

 

I saw that and forgot all about it.

 

Thanks.

All ready for flight testing tomorrow!

 

 

We need video evidence or it never happened.?

How'd you manage that ? 

 

I love my EdgeTX touch screen Tx.  At the field, I only ever use the touch screen for model selection - any programming is done at home, when I am more patient.  I find the touchscreen so much better than a scroll wheel.

Parts required, bear in mind I am UK based and your source may be different.

 

Touch Screen

 

Adaptor Board

 

 You will also need some quality wire for the connections.

 

Instructions these may appear in German, I just use google translate. 

 

Firmware at time of writing make sure to select EN for English

 

The whole process took me less than 2 hours including dismantling and re assembly. Weather permitting I will try to test fly this weekend!

Never been a fan of touch screens and avoid them wherever possible.  It's too easy to inadvertently brush something and all hell breaks out.  Perhaps I'm just clumsy? 

I love all my touch screen radio`s, although it has never happened to me, maybe I am lucky.

There is a request in to the devs for a "SCREEN LOCK" feature. 

[Horus X12S with EdgeTX and Touch Screen!]

A simple mod for any one with a reasonable amount of electronics experience.

 

 

 

If only the X12S had had this from the start, now I wonder if the ETHOS devs would port ETHOS to the X12S with touch screen.

 

Information from here. https://wimalopaan.github.io/Electronics/rc/touch.html

 

All you need is these and a few lengths of wire, and the custom firmware.

Do you use it neat or thin it down Kevin ?

Thinned down.

Depending on the amount of muck to clean off somewhere between 60 and 90 percent.

 

Somewhere I have written down the mix, but for some reason it is not with the bottle where it normally is.

[Irvine engine types]

And of course not forgetting these.

Yep Irvine did a range of Diesel engine`s.

Now that looks clean, any idea  ( out of stock ) what's in it ?.

Do you mean the LA`s?
It is just a degreaser, but who knows what is in it! All I know is it works for me.

 

Showing in stock for me.

 

The ultrasonic cleaner I use will only accommodate one engine at a time, but then I only work on one at a time.

[Cleaning old 2 strokes - Where do I start?]

I use the ultrasonic bath.

For my cleaning fluid I use this.
 

Awesome Cleaner

Brings them up like new.

 

I got my inspiration from this guy. Sadly he no longer does rebuilds, but there is a wealth of information in his video`s.

[Incidence Meter/Gauge Measurement]

Yep.

 

I also 3d printed myself a holder for the use of.

 

[Fantasy Formula 1 (Fantasygp.com)]

BIG team changes made!!
Poor predictions also done.

I have done them early as I am off flying soon. If I am back before quali starts I can tweak a little (lot).

[Sunday 20th March - Sky History 2 -History's Greatest Aircraft]

I am a big fan of the company who make these programs. Not to far from me as it happens.

 

Sadly I will not be seeing them until they become available on any platform other than Sky.

Looking at my prop inventory I have APCs 16x8, 17x6, 17x8 and 18x8W so I think I'll start off with the 16x8. Just got to find an STL file for a  P51D exhaust stack to save me having to design one!

Have you tried this one Ron?

I hadnt looked at the repository for a while, thanks Kevin for the nudge. And low and behold somebody has drawn the venturi!

 

It's still under debate, but if you draw it and print it yourself then you do not have to declare it and there are no penalties in scale competition. But don't quote me as there is much debate still...

 

It then does beg the question, how do we know the competitor drew it and didnt just download it.....

 

Cheers

Danny

 

 

And there is also the "I made that" factor.

I do not have the skills to draw them, so am grateful for those who can and make them public.

[Fusion help required]

Why re invent the wheel?
 

For those who are members over at RCSCALEBUILDER.COM you can download an already made STL.

Just sayin.?

[Unisens E Telemetry Sensor]

Had two from SM-Modelbau in the last 6 months.

Just ordered and they delivered. Took around 10 days or so each time.

 

Great bits of kit.

Can't see how you can pick a balanced team this year without going Pro.

Be lower scoring this year.

No change for me then, always score low.?

[Enya gasket/spares in UK?]

I make my own!

 

Sometimes use the original as a pattern or oil the part and press on the paper. Cut round the markings.

Gasket paper.

[Show us your workshop!]

More an assembly area than a workshop these days.

The building "mojo" has sadly lost its appeal of late.
