Since it doesn't use carbon rods I assume you could try, it's not specifically said by the designer, but you can probably try it and see how you go, You'd probably have to make sure you have a big enoguh printer cause scaling the parts could result in much larger pieces and since it's designed for vase mode splitting them may not work You'll also need to design siemthing for servo holders

@ I don’t think any of those will be an issue for me. I just have a spare 70mm QX motor edf and I’m looking for a cheap, simple, fun project to use it for. They aren’t the greatest edf’s in the world so I don’t want to use it on a more expensive build. What edf are you using in yours? Looked like an XFly

I'm eventually going to try it as i have a 70mm & 64mm ​@JoeyscustomRC

@@crazyaces9586 let me know if you end up doing a 70mm how it turns out

Haha yeah it's such a good one for starting out with I must say and still kicking goals

Haha I hear ya! You’ll be on the lookout for a printer in no time 😉

Heya, this is a closed beta at this point, we are testing for Altsi at the moment :)

Hey, Eclipson designs don't use infill in most of their profiles because they design the entire thing including the internal structures, in fact, this is what makes them very compatible with vase mode it's a lot more work for the designer, but the result is a great model! IN their site they have the parameters you need to use for the model :) Good luck if you decide to print it

It prints very well, the use of heat set inserts are quite nice, $40 is a bit of money sure, but TD is one of those design houses that actually do a lot of testing prior to selling and the end product in my opinion is solid! :) good luck with your build if you decide to go for it. the use of pre-foamed pla as per their advise i think is the only thing letting them down, i think this has something to do with not having to design for least retractions, and just rely on generated infill

Wow! Thanks! That's so good to hear I really appreciate it!

Elrs has a limitation on channel 5 where it's only 900 or 1950 pwm as it's designed for flight controller as the arming signal only I know some people have been able o modify that channel but info is sketchy

So yes it can be used for on or off applications like landing gear retracts but not as a control servo where you need fine grained control

@@locarshobbies sorry it should have said assign ch5 on RX to ch6 when setting up the RX and it works fine. I set a logical switch on the tx to arm channel 5 if the tx battery is above the minimum voltage so in theory when I fly ch5 is always armed and just set a switch as the throttle arming switch. If that all makes sense to you.

Hey yeah, it does make sense, but, essentially for a fixed wing that doesn't use flight controllers, it kinda limits ch5 functionality being only on or off, this really only need AETR, or at most AL E T R AR where i can put AR on CH6, just ttoally bypassing ch5, no need to muck around with it for this model

@@locarshobbies THats right just forget about channel 5 after all these transmitters are generally all 16 channel and if you run them in 8 channel mode then there’s still 7 to play with. In the old days we only had 4 and if we were rich we had a 6 channel set, so what we had today is luxury.

Gday mate yeah I'm in Adelaide! ❤️♥️ Thanks for watching! Yeah this is the best eclipson in terms of ease of printing with the vase mode as well as assembly with the male female interfaces! Really really good model

Hey! I use basic printers the sovol sv06 and an ender 3 v3 se

@@locarshobbies thanks

Hahaha indeed! I never get people when they say something is overpowered I'm always like we'll put your thumb down 😅

@@locarshobbies 😁👍

Thank you! i appreciate that! it is a really nice flying model

Hi, thank you, yes printed Using esun lw pla foaming she's very light

The cg was set as per the designers mark, I mean it wasn't too bad I've had way way worse In the second flight she I increased the expo to 40% and the tiniest bit more forward of the cg marks (like no more than 1mm) cause of the 4s and yeah she flew absolutely well so i think it's solid now I flew her again yesterday on the same setup and she was just rock solid Thanks for watching 👍

@@locarshobbies I wondered if the 4s might have moved the cg forward a tad. Whether that and/or the differential improved things, gliders and aerobatic machines are tricky regarding cg position as the designer may often want them to be more sensitive to lifting air (gliders) and more neutral for stuff like inverted flight. But this can make for pitch instability which can make handling unpleasant and landings more tricky esp with a clean airplane that has no airbrakes or flaps. Seemed to fly great on the second flight though 👍👍

Hi thanks for watching... Personally I like to have the model setup mechanically then using expo (where possible I try to not exceed 50) but hey, that's just me! There are many ways to skin a cat (or setup a plane haha) Thanks again for watching and the engagement I appreciate it

Thanks Alexis, when I used the 4s it also moved the cg slightly forward by about 1 to 2mm (I could have put the battery back a bit more but didn't have additional velcro at the field) It did certainly give better pitch stability but I also increased the expo to 40% so I cant really tell you whether it's due to the forward cg OR the expo or maybe a bit of both I flew her again today, moving the control rod up to a higher hole on the servo horn, increased rates and she flies even better! I can't wait to slope this amazing airframe But yeah I'm the same the moment I found out eclipaon was releasing the fox I already decided I was gonna get it haha

Thanks for the suggestion mate, yeah, i could do a better job of mixing the music better, i do kinda like the music though, but you're right on some parts there, it definitely is much too loud! Ill keep this in mind for the next one

Hey mate, i followed theFrisco's VTOL guide in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3anm3uaj7-AmqM give his video a look and follow what he says :)

Hey mate, my bad, ive been off the YT recently, so much going on! i realised your comment came 2 weeks ago and i haven't responded, MY APOLOGIES!!! So, in all honesty, i am NOT really a huge fan of pre-foamed LW-pla, i get the idea for sure, but yeah, i think for the additional stringing that it does, it doesn't give that much weight benefit (i beleive in my prints they are only about 80% the weight of normal PLA+ If im really going to give it a red hot go, i will use foaming LW PLA, at least with the increased difficulty of printing it, the weight differences are huge!!! BUt hey, let me know ify ou got any more questions im more than happy to help :)

We aim never to exclude but include! I'll leave it to Pete to send out invites for sure!

Hi! Thanks for watching! I'm quite lucky that the landing area at lonsdale is quite generous unlike most slopes, and some really nice long grass to gently stop the model She landed well, no damage whatsoever! I should have taken a video of the post landing state I will make sure to do that on future videos The fuse in pla+ can take a slight besting and it's designed strong, but the wings printed in lw pla might not take too kindly... The counter point is that it's not a big print to re make 👍

Yep represent! :)

Almost! Haha although a backpack would be better 😂

Yeah in all honesty it think this one is great I printed their other small one the rise nano and I never got that to work well at all, i think this is a really good model that is worth the time and effort 😊 good luck!

Same same my friend awesome flying man we should make a vid one day

Haha this is a good idea I was tempted to order the 6s capable EDF but thought the battery bay is pretty tight so kept it to 4s, I'm thinking about cheater holes to maybe help it breathe a bit better 👍

@locarshobbies No need for cheaters... The intake is huge on that kit. 6s 3300-4000 pretty much all the way back was awesome! I could hover it ha

Thank you! I really appreciate you saying this 😊

Yeah one fo the group people has suggested it wsd an old fms which is cool! Thanks for the info! 😊👍

Hi! So, 1300kv running 7040 3blade on 4s will be a bit lackluster, I have experienced improvement with the use of 6s with the same prop setup in 4s I'm constantly on the top third of the throttle to keep her flying running but on 6s I'm around 50-60%

Hi this is so bad by me as I have been so busy however can I refer you to this link he has a diff that I followed and a step by step instruction I will update the video with this link so that propel can see what or how to setup 😊 apologies for not getting teh diff kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3anm3uaj7-AmqMsi=zOgKca04lf_PvRW_

Heck yes! Thank you looking forward to seeing it!

Absolutely! Let's organize a catchup down there one day! I can bring my drones too 😊😊😊

At least I am from around teh area yes! 😊

Yeah mate come down one day! Let's go for a flight

Thanks mate! I appreciate it thanks for watching

I know right! Shame I was too distracted and missed The actual impact shot too 🤣😂

I did and I forgoty apologies I'll see if I can get it today

He actually had 2 flights his first landing was hilarious he sorta stalled it on landing and it did a couple of cartwheels but it's fine! Took off straight away and landed perfectly next time I'll make sure I get video of it

Thank yoh so much I appreciate the comment and motivates me to make more

Why thank you! i appreciate this sentiment! i love technology, and love trying new things out! Kudos more to the designers making this possible :)

Yeah honestly he was that good that he kept it flying for that long even

Will do shortly!

@@locarshobbies Hello again, is the config file ready? If so, can you send it? :) Thank you in advance.

Will do sorry I just got back on the yt land haha

I will do it tomorrow I'll do a diff all 👍

@@locarshobbies thank you my friend.👌

Hello my friend, which time you post the diff all?
