Can you help me plz ..when I trun the power button..i am getting a loading screen and I it's turning off..I haven't Hear a sound like your in vdo

@modelmakingmaniacs8600 3 күн бұрын

Make sure you hold the power button for a while. You need to keep it pressed the whole time the loading screens is on (the one that shows the dots moving across the screen) If you release too early it just turns itself off again.

When you fitted the battery in a later model in the space in the fuselage beneath the wings did you remove the plastic frame that the two front wing retaining screws, screw into, how did you retain the wings in place?

@modelmakingmaniacs8600 Ай бұрын

The battery is fitted into the cockpit behind the motor with a small ESC. The Receiver is fitted under the wings with the excess servo wires tucked in. I also have a small battery charge monitor connected to the receiver that fits under the wing as well. The plastic frame is unchanged from the original model.

@edwardryan9125 Ай бұрын

@modelmakingmaniacs8600 must have been changes from the early 707 to the 707s, because one I saw earlier didn't have the plastic cowling on the wings, but had a front wedge protrusion on the wings that locked onto a receiving unit under the domed section of the fuselage

Were I still in the market for a bigger plane that 1300mm PA-18 would be high on the list, boys. FMS stuff is always so nicely packed and generally is a dream to fly. My old SuperEZ v4 PNP that we got in a sale years ago for the bargain price (with floats) for about AU$210 landed does get a run occasionally (with RC noise maker installed to scare the flying vermin!) but mostly we're into Minis these days. Easier to carry, smaller and cheaper batteries and not so many tears when the inevitable Kamikaze landing occurs. 😉😊

Yes, I'm getting better at avoiding the hard landings. Hopefully this one will give me some good flying time.

What an awesome flying location! I love my Phoenix S 1600 but have found that when using deep flaperons, you have to transition to rudder as the ailerons have almost zero effect. Using a thermal setting of about 3° flaps is really nice when hunting for lift though. It is such a floater on a warm day.

Fantastic bit of beach on weekdays. can be a bit crowded on weekends. Thanks for the tip on flap settings for thermal flying. Can't wait for summer to try it out.

@theoztreecrasher2647 3 ай бұрын

Yep. A nice glider but not regretting that we didn't get 1 of these in the recent sell-out. The motor mounting area is a bit weak and we have no suitable area for wide ranging gliding flights at our old mining tailing strip. Surprised that you didn't have trouble with picking up magnetic sand into the motor there - a bad problem chez-us. We're much more into the minis these days. The bigger stuff mostly just hangs from the shed ceiling. My FMS SuperEZ gets the occasional run but it also glides forever and takes some care to put it down easy on the tree-bordered strip. The Kmart twins and AtomRC Flying Fishes are the weapons of choice to wheel with the birds. 😉😊

Might blow the motor with compressed air once the thing dries out. Fun day flying though. A few scary moments but came home in one piece, and the glider was fine too. :-)

I have the rudder control horn set to innermost hole, (most movement) and had to cut the fuselage where the control rod exits the fuselage to ensure it did not fowl on the end of the exit hole. Still don't get very much rudder control.

Your vidoes about the phoenix adding flapperons has got me thinking about doing something similar to my own homemade powered glider. I am only new to rc flying and finding sites to fly is difficult any suggestions. Have you thought about doing videos for learner flyers.

@modelmakingmaniacs8600 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comments. The Phoenix glider is very fast and needs a long landing strip. I don't think I'll try fly it at Hallett Cove. I've configured Flaperons, but it handles very differently and can stall on landing approach. I'm still learning how to manage the landings with flaperons. Learner videos is a great idea. Watch this space.
