Great video. I am very new to RC electric gliders and am interested in your throttle stick setup. Does that only control the spoiler and motor power is handled by another control?
@nickgeomap2 ай бұрын
Yes. The throttle stick only controls the spoiler. It is set up for competition where you have a maximum of 30 seconds motor run and you usually want the most altitude you can get in that time so it is controlled by a switch. Off is 0% and On is 100%. There is a limiter in the plane that stops it automatically at 30s. I have it set up so that turning the switch off on the controller re-arms the limiter in case I need power in an emergency.

@@nickgeomap Very interesting! I could program a similar setup by putting flaps on the throttle stick and use a switch for throttle.

I really like the kite tails. Bottle Rockets would not be fast enough. Dropping M80s? On 4th I was sling shooting Black Cats up in the air. Problem is wind speed made the fuse fast burn and pop as soon as the Black Cats left the sling shot. You have to tape up the fuse to slow the burn rate.

If only it looked like this on mine. Mine just slams the camera right on the ground, lifts up to the next point and slams into the ground, on every single point. It's not following a smooth path, nor is it elevated at all. I managed to add elevation data to the GPX file - but it made no difference. This wasn't a Strava GPX file, it was created by saving a route from Google Maps then using an online tool to convert that to a GPX file, then I used another online tool to add the elevations to it. Really, it shouldn't need the elevations I guess. I'll add time stamps with GpsTrackEditor then I'm giving up trying to do it! EDIT: Nope. It's flying along now, but it's still slammed to the ground. EDIT 2: I reset everything in Google Earth, still the same.

Have been thinking of getting a new res ship to join the Pures, andreas, gentle lady etc. I have one of those alloy spinners and they are crazy heavy. Use a proper reisenauer set up and you'll drop 40-50 grams straight off the bat, cost is about $20. That motor is way out of it's efficiency range and pretty heavy. I use a roxxy 2220/20 which is 30g lighter than than your 2630 and climbs at 4.5 m/s in my 550 gram res ship. It appears to fly very fast, after losing 80g (plus losing that tail weight) you'll be amazed how much better it will fly.
