That might help, but the gears are so cheap and soft, they strip way too easily. Especially on the foamy rudders.

Nope. If you study up on series vs. parallel circuits you will see that's a parallel circuit and the voltage remains at the battery voltage. It's not doubled. Now, if I ran the batteries in series, then the voltage would double. Good question 👍

@@ChunkyC_RC Very interesting. Because when you plug say one in the receiver you should have 4.8 volts across the whole receiver, plug 2 in you double the voltage. Still confusing but interesting. Thanks brother.

As long as the max voltage of a fully charged pack doesn't exceed the max voltage of the receiver your good. Energy is all the same no matter what type of cell it comes from.

Now that you mention it. I think I do recall seeing some PDFs of way older versions on Align T-Rex website. Nothing that's relevant for today's version

I haven't found anything new for 5.9.9. The only difference I saw was the change log at the beginning that told you what they fixed in the latest version. I've never found a PDF version of NONE of the manual versions.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the info 🙏👍

Can you explain in a bit more detail? Do you mean a straight battery backup and a BEC? For example, a lipo connected through an ESC.

@@ChunkyC_RC Yea I have been told that it could damage you receiver, but I think your right I am thinking if voltage is the same it should not matter or even just below max voltage I think it should be OK what you opinion ?

@@superdon1chw just make sure the battery voltage is within the limits of the receiver and servos and you should be fine, with or without BEC.

Just bind R1 as usual. Turn off R1 and then bind R2 as usual. Both receivers should receive same signal and operate simultaneously.

@ Brilliant! Appreciate your help mate! NEW SUB 🙏🏻

Wow! Sorry to hear that.

Glad to educate folks on the finer learnings of southern talk 😂. Thanx for watching 👍

I would give it a good pre-maiden inspection looking for loose hardware and security of ball links etc.. Since I'm just hovering around, I didn't go through and Loctite screws. The screws on this thing are tiny. If you fly hard, then I would probably secure them. I did Loctite all the screws when I built the Align TB40. Thanx for the question.

Your gonna love it!!! In the stabilization mode, it's a pussy cat. Good luck, keep us posted....

How do you have your antenna oriented? It's strange that all the receivers drop. Are the receivers in an aircraft. Maybe do a check with just receiver in the open (not installed in aircraft).

Hey bud thanks for the reply. 90° as stated in manual. I had a friend stand at my front house door with Tx then I walked up my street to this distance then red light starts stuttering, FAR too short for this equipment so I'm hoping the houses are interfering so I will apply the same aspect at my local open flying field to see if that makes a difference. Fingers crossed. Weird one 😕 any knowledge would be appreciated off anyone. Thanks👍

Wait a minute!! In your original post you said you did a range check at "50-60 METERS". That's WAY TOO FAR. That's 170 to 195 feet away, too far away for range check. When you put the transmitter in range check mode, it drops the signal strength to a fraction of its original power. You only need to walk away 30 paces, approximately 90 feet. It sounds like your simply walking too far.

@@ChunkyC_RC Hi. I did not set the Tx or Rx to range check I simply had it set up as if I was about to fly and walked away and the disruption happens. I will actually try the range check also but can't see that making a difference. Thanks

If all the receivers fail range check, I would have the transmitter checked.

No need for more switches. Just plug the batteries directly into the unit and the single switch will handle it all. You can remove the batteries and charge on the work bench or charge in place if you have long enough charging leads. You can install more switches if that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy....but it's not necessary. Thanx for the question 👍

Glad it helped!

Awesome!!! Glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!!!

Great info, thanx for sharing 👍

Thanx for watching!!!

Give it a try Chris. I promise you will love it. Thanx for commenting.

Get you one Jeff. Hopefully you can get better a better video than what I've been able to get.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting.

Thanx for watching

I was just looking at mine the other day. I really need to start it. What motor, prop and esc combo did you go with?

@@ChunkyC_RC I have a great running os65AX I have a homemade engine running stand that run and tune engines on works great then after I had it idling and running good I mounted it to the plane I have a 12x6 on it I used to have a 4 star 60 in 90s with that size prop plane was amazing I’m getting my old 4 star 40 ready for Saturday morning to practice on and to get back into the groove of the 4 stars

My friends just call me Radio ,😂

Yeah, I was less than impressed with the mat but it may come in handy for some things. Glad to help, thanx for the comment.

If the CG is correct then make sure all flight controls are neutral. Never assume the factory got it right. If the flight controls are neutral then it could be an incidence issue, but it being a foam molded plane, there's not much you can do about that except to trim it for neutral. Fly the plane and trim at around 75% throttle (or what % you normally fly it). When you land, take a look at the position of the elevator and re-center the trims. Disconnect the ball link from the elevator control horn and adjust the ball link until the elevator is in the approximate position that it was in when it was trimmed. Continue flying, trimming, and adjusting until it flies level when all trims are neutral. It may take a few flights to get it right, but hey, you were planning on flying it anyway. Do this on all surfaces, aileron, elevator, and rudder. All planes fly a little different. I do recall my Commander having a tendency to pitch up. I just trimmed and left it. Also, if you trim step in your radio is set to "fine" then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Hope this helps...
