cymaz Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Today was running engines day. All started one at a time and adjusted by tacho. High needles done first the the low end point set from there and the idles. All 10k at WOT then idles set for 3,200-3,300 manually. The final idles can be set from the Tx.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 It's not a thing of beauty in my eyes Cymas but you have made a good job of it. Should look good in the air though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 An excellent result. I've thoroughly enjoyed following your refurbishment. Next job, a decent video is needed. However, no music please, I can't understand why people make videos of planes and then replace the audio with music! I want to hear the engine(s), and I'm sure I'm not alone....

cymaz Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Promise to post a video of them ground running in a few weeks. If I’d thought about it I could have posted a video today! Just come back from Davidstow...and didn’t take the camera . The mods I did last night at home after Saturday did the trick...needs lots of rudder on the turns mind.

cymaz Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 UPDATE!!! The lighting control work on the throttle position. I also did a second mix where they can be turned off should the need arise. Bought some of ...THESE..I should have put these in before I covered it. Ho-Hum, the deed is done. I am really impressed how bright these things are. Edited By cymaz on 24/03/2018 19:11:20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 What is the actual size of those lights Cymaz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 They are 22mm diameter, 23mm deep ( that includes the heatsink as well ). The lipo was from HK. The one I ordered is charged through a small JST plug so I had to make up a small fly lead for my charger. You plug the controller into a spare channel and the power is taken from the balance plug and not the power lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thanks Cymaz, I have super cub that needs landing lights these may work, nothing worse than having the lights on and they can’t be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 For under £10 there is not much to loose. They are flippin’ bright ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Well if they’re not just bright but “flippin” bright they are just what I need.

cymaz Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 The photo and video was taken on an overcast day in a garage with all the work lights on. Made the mistake of looking at then when doing the video...please don’t do that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 For those who stumble across the thread, I've just finished installing the landing lights fixed them in with Gorilla Glue Tony..I can confirm that they remain bright..

Tony Richardson Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 They should show up even on the brightest days, WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 These lights are quite a find. I used twisted servo lead and home made plugs as extensions, it has no effect on the light brightness. Using one of these as well.. Click to view larger image Have one to sell? Sell it yourself Turnigy 1000mAh 2s 7.4V 20C-30C Lipo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
