Phil Green Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The first 7 seconds looked a bit dodgy Josip! Maybe its just a foreshortened view from the camera, but he's a good runner ! Lovely site you have there, big open spaces. Very nice! Edited By Phil Green on 28/08/2015 09:54:59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I do wonder about the flock of sheep on a full size runway. Could be interesting for full size pilots, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 At least you didn't have the battery bale out like mine did, also on a bunt I wondered why the model failed to complete the manoeuvre but remained inverted and floated down to earth with no control whatsoever (despite that I stupidly kept fiddling the sticks even though I knew there was no battery ) I bought a new cowl but the original reappeared in the club hut a week or so later so someoene found it. The battery was lost forever, however. Despite ending up on a hard runway there was minimal damage - just few minor scuffs. I now hold the battery in with a length of 2mm carbon rod pushed through the fuselage. It's hardly noticeable at the outside and not at all in flight. It really is a fun model. One of the aileron horns came unstuck last time I flew it. I wondered why roll control seemed so sluggish! That's one thing I find less than perfect - it's difficult to glue the plastic horns to the EPO with 100% certainty that they'll stay put.

Andy48 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Try Gorilla glue. The horn or the EPO will fail first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trebor Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I noticed the landing gear is different I just replaced mine with some real wire, totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes with both current and lowest cell voltage sensing on the Taranis and speech warnings your problems will be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, with the carbon gear I have better control, without bumps...ok, it's a matter of taste and skill. Thanks on your time.
