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

Gotcha. All I know is it’s working now and that makes me happy.

Great it works @49dimes comes through again for us , the main thing it is working radios can be so frustrating at times.

Thanks. I really did think it was a connector issue at first because mine had some too. The manuals are pretty straight forward if you are using spektrum gear. This is what I did to make the "rats nest" of connectors easy to plug in the wing. The bare pin connector is for the lights...

Oh! How do you like my "FAA" markings for such a toy plane? lol

That’s funny that’s telling them.

In honesty...I have had my registration since 2015. And it expires in 2020. Yes I will renew it to be legal. But I never thought in a million years it would come to this. Really takes the wind out of one's sail . And I suppose that is what it's really about.

She’s headed out to fly later today. Pretty sure I will be moving it over to my taranis in the near future though. With the stock six channel receiver the ailerons have to be on a y harness to be able to mix the flaps into full span ailerons thus limiting the amount of mixes I can do to it. Would love to program in full span flap and crow just to play around and moving it to my taranis will be cheaper and easier to accomplish this. But who knows after it flys today I may decide it doesn’t need those things and just leave it as is.

Good Luck and have fun. I have found however that these small park flyers that are designed around a "flight control system" do better with it. As a matter of fact the small extra I have is a horrible flyer with out it. You could get creative with the stock receiver and use the "Forward Programming" APP to set up the RX in a configuration that would allow "crow" but I don't know if a seventh channel would be needed for the additional mix. I think it would. So go get yourself the 7 channel AS3X Rx .

Valid point and I reckon I could see how it flys without the stabilization using one of my 6 channel frsky receivers and if I feel it needs it then I can get one of the frsky SR8 receivers that has 3 axis stabilization built in and only cost $33 bucks.

Trying to decide which size I like best. See if you can guess...
