    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    I was hoping to maiden the Cherokee this weekend but those dreams quickly vanished while programing the servos for 100% stick travel at the desired surface defection. The flap servo on the right wing shorted out. As you may remember I did not install access doors so this required cutting open...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    I seen this on YouTube and thought I might try it on the the Cherokee, Assan AG61 anti slip nose wheel gyro. It has two inputs, rudder and gear so when the gear is up it shuts the nose wheel servo off. Thinking how I might do this in OpenTX. Thinking using the flap function but I don't always...
