    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Got out early evening today (5pm) and finally maiden of the MXS! Aura 8 off and low rates the plane flew rock solid smooth only requiring some up (4clicks) elevator trim. Threw the switch to low rate gyro and commenced to do the smoothest rollers I have ever done! Threw the switch to high rate...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Look! It even got an ESC! lol Serious though......Had to install an aluminum bracket to keep the receiver / gyro mount from shaking. It was causing the elevator servo to flutter. Been completely through the radio set up and put the stickers on! Plane weight is 6 pounds 4 ounces w/battery.

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    I have been a long time Futaba guy but like you I have been frustrated with the way they have priced themselves. I too have been looking at Jetti but the price point sucks. Hopefully this will be the answer..........I will get one when it becomes available........

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    I still have the wings to finish but that is easy peasy and hope Saturday morning will yield cooler temps so I can get a radio check done and some flights in. Need to order some more temp sensors so I can get the motor monitored. @Snoopy1 you had mentioned for me to tell the bad things about...

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    Some huge Seiko servos are 12 and Hitec has 12 volt. No I have not run 12 and was asking if any one has. If you under power a winding it can get hot as well.

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    That's a "Loaded" answer....... :laughing:. Have you tried 12 volts? My wires did not get hot. Just the servo's that went south.

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    Has anyone tried Ohms law?...........:cautious:. 12 volts to the servo? Should drop the amps a little.

    Need to paint the spinner cone gloss black and finish the wings. Hope to get a cooler evening session with it but the outdoor temp does not get to 80 until 11 pm :ugh!:.

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Installed some telemetry. Power Pack voltage is monitored. Receiver voltage is displayed as a battery Icon (always will show full due to BEC). Transmitter voltage is displayed both ways in volts and an Icon. I made a optical reflector for the rpm sensor out of a large wheel collar and punched...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Had some trouble with the servos in the 330sc so more than likely it will be fall before I can give a flight report with a big gasser and this radio. I have directed my attention back to the electrics and will have an EF 64" MXS ready to go shortly with the radio and an Aura 8 . The...

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    What I am going to do is make a custom cable with 18awg for the power and 22awg for signal. A 4 pin Deans or similar connector. Cable will be 4 wires + - s1 s2. Both servos in the rear (elevator) will plug in to the cable. A similar cable but 3 wires for each wing ( single servo).

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    I had noticed that the full stall load of the H50B is 6.5 amps. And of course with a powerful brushless motor that gets almost 800oz of torque one would expect insufficient current to cause them to get hot. Blue Bird honors warranty and will take care of the two I have needing attention. It...

    GP123 header help

    The DA100 headers by MTW should fit. The China or DLE style you have to elongate the holes a wee bit "I think". Of course the vendors advertising here should have the China style. Chief Aircraft has the MTW's with a 50mm drop. Don't know if the appropriate drop China style is available.
