Ron Gray Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) This model was, out of the box, extremely underpowered and a pig to launch because of it. A simple mod has transformed it into a rather nice flying machine. Vid to come! Edited March 4, 2022 by Ron Gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Having challenges with this myself Ron. Not so much with it being underpowered although I am intrigued what 'simple mod' you made. I couldn't find details in your video? Mine has very strange roll characteristics but has flown better with reduced throws, expo and use of the gyro feature in my FrSky S9R receiver.

Ron Gray Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Replied to Dom through the YouTube channel but for completeness of this thread: I felt that, based on mine and others I’d seen videos of, there was a distinct lack of thrust at low speeds, probably due to insufficient air intake. So I cut a 25mm x 40mm ‘cheat hole’ in the underside of the fuse, just in front of the fan unit and I also 3D printed an extension eflux tube 25mm long for the rear. These 2 mods have transformed the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks Ron! I did the cheater mod and fitted a new EDF and certainly flew a lot better. Thanks again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
