[Bit Cold Out--How much Flying are You Getting In]

Well so far here in South West France we haven't had any snow. Kinda miss it really, been a bit cold a couple of nights though and managed to get some flying in. Apart from a boom strike on the heli, had some good flights. Did find though the cold does have an adverse effect on electric models, reducing power and flight times. the club really has to improve on the coffee as well.

Dunno why everyones complaing, I've just been out with my Fournier RF4D testing FPV stuff, nice gentle breeze, 15 min airborne, then a few aerobatics with the Edge and broke the heli blades, normal sorta day.

 

Going to launch the DG1000 glider this afternoon for a gentle fly around then pop into club house for some heli repairs and maybe sim time. Just a normal day.....

[Whats the Best and Worst plane you have ever flown?]

Hi VA,

 

Mines the 1200mm version about the same as the Extremeflight model, came from a shop in Austria, I also have a Predator also by model expert. Same aircraft are also badged as Nitro Models and RC System depending on the distributor, Mine came with motor included.

Ailron and pitch are OK, its the elevator servo thats not not playing properly, works OK as elevator but works in opposite direction when pitch applied. I'll just have a look at the other thread, musta missed it.

[Walkera 60/ Futaba 6EX help]

HELP,

I have a Walkera 60 heli that hasn’t flown for over a year now since the second motor failed in flight, anyway, I have decided to resurrect this so have done a couple of mods ie upgraded to brushless and ripped out the supplied useless radio stuff and fitted a Futaba fasst rx . Transmitter is a 6EX.

 

This is where my problems started, following the recommended settings according to the Futaba instructions, no matter what I do I can’t get the  elevator servo to mix properly with pitch. Ailerons will work independently as does the elevator, but apply pitch the ailerons go up OK but the elevator servo moves down. Reversing the elevator servo is not an option as this then will not work properly as an elevator ie. Reversed!

 

 Has anyone here fitted a Futaba radio to a Walkera 60. I need to get this working as I’ve ordered a TREX 450se and the servo layout I believe is the same.

 

Have a happy new year
