    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    Started building mine last night. i fished some flat carbon fiber strips down there with dental floss and used a long tip to drip CA on them. looks kind of wack but no more flexing in the turtle deck when you squeeze the sides. I tried to save the original formers but they were too far gone...

    Flew my 48" Laser with the Cortex in it today. I have my gyro set up to remove the "hold" feature by copying bank 1 to bank 2. I set my bank one up at 30% to begin with and then found that was a little too much for me. At 30% I felt like my KE spins were flattening out on me. Ended up...

    Aerobeez 48" EPP Extra 330 Build

    That is really cool. I am going to have to give on of these a try once I wear out a 48"

    Aerobeez 48" EPP Extra 330 Build

    In the pictures it looks more like a balsa plane with EPP covering than a "foamie". Is that an accurate description?

    Luckily the program is really straightforward and easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised.

    Copied my bank 1 to bank 2. Super easy one click deal. I am going to put the gyro on the DX8 Aux3 knob like you guys are suggesting. Thanks for all the help, I can't wait to try it out in the air!

    Roger. I will be copying the bank 1 for 2 rate modes.

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    My concern about the knob is that it goes past center (0 gain) so fast that if I had a problem with the gyro it would be hard to turn it off. I can see myself trying to get it off and swapping between bank 1 & 2 repeatedly before finding 0 gain. Your comment about setting one side to zero is a...

    I had it on my AUX3 knob but decided to take it off because I thought it would be too hard to find center (off) while flying. I like the idea though, just think it is too much workload for my skill level.

    Thanks I didn't realize I needed to copy the banks. I will try to figure that out tomorrow.

    GYRO What is suggestion for a starting point for gains? Mine went into a 48" Laser so I am guessing that it is going to be about the same as your Edge. I am not going to set mine up with a Hold mode, just normal and "high wind".

    Already had the latest firmware version, lol. I was able to change the servo type from analog to digital. Into the plane it goes!

    Plugged it up like it was going into the airplane (external power) and it fired right up. Thanks for the help, I didn't want to plug it into external power and the USB and possibly over volt it or something.

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    I have another question... :facepalm: I am wanting to hook the Cortex up to my computer so I can install the latest firmware version. When I plug the Cortex and USB cable into the computer the computer program does not see the Cortex. The light also does not come on. Do I need to have...

    Cool, so basically set it at the highest rate you plan to fly the plane at. Thanks Gyro. BTW, I have been listening to the podcasts when I am in the car travelling, it really passes the time and I am really enjoying them. I am almost all of the way through them though so keep it up!

    Got some rainy days here in the midwest so I am going to install the cortex today. I see where you guys are recomending to have the controls set at max throws. I fly with tne DX8 so my max servo travel would be at 150% in the servo travel menu and 125% in the dual rate menu. I currently fly...

    Omega Aircraft Electric Motor 6MM Prop Adapter

    Can't find anyone that has one in stock right now. I would like to purchase 2 if anyone has spares lying around that they are willing to part with.
