The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

When I saw stuff like this happening it was usually because the FCC was sue happy and went after the manufacturer real hard. They're probably just trying to cover their rears

Agreed! Pretty silly they cannot sell me an antenna regardless.

I did a thing this morning. Should liven it up quite a bit.

Decided it’s been a few years.... yeah definitely time to change the battery in my 73” AJ Laser.

Question for you spectrum guys. My UMX timber. Wanna make the ailerons work as flaps. They are both on seperate channels. How do I go about setting it up. Things look different from my old futaba or how I know to do it with my taranis.

Unfortunately I’ve only been able to do this with an Aura, where all the settings were on it and not in the transmitter.

Which model of Spektrum transmitter and does each surface have its own channel?

Yeah just a dx9 and each on their own channel though not sure which channels off the top of my head.

Wish I knew the answer.
Just downloaded the DX9 manual to see if it has the same features as my DX18. Looks like a combination of making a mix between aileron and flap, and assigning it to a switch, if you want both ailerons and flaps or full span ailerons. If you want only full span ailerons, then select the wing type as four aileron.

@pawnshopmike well you asked for it some of the pictures of the new aeroplane build shop being built hope to have it in closed before the winter flies. It is 62 by 32 ft and 15 ft tall to the underside of the rafters. Fully insulated up R34 all around and 9 loops of floor heating.

Very nice! I’m jealous of the shop and the tractor both.
