Thanks Peter. Both my 50mm and 30mm J10 EDFs can fly really slow in high alpha attitude. I believe the front canards play a role in the flying characteristics, similar to the Eurofighter, Rafale, JAS 39 Gripen etc. You should get 1 too! 😁

So you did drunk flying? 🤣 Yes, we are celebrating our country's 59th independence day on the 9th August. The 50mm J10 EDF can fly surprisingly slow on a windy day at a high alpha attitude. Having the Byme gyro onboard does help a lot and it really flatters my skills. 😁

Yes, it's a different EDF jet, 50mm J10 made of very flexible foam kit. I didn't see his plane when I launched mine, so I'm surprised when I reviewed my onboard videos. We were really close to a T-bone crash.

Hi Peter, I just read your comment. I will try to do a flying video of this plane soon. Thank!

Thanks! I've a bigger version coming soon! 😁

My kid plays, I only touch a bit when fingers itchy. 😆

That's done, I sometimes think too complicated😄

@@Retep12 Hi Peter, glad you found the solution. If your Jumper has a momentarily switch, you can map it with logical switch function and set a minimum duration for 'on' time. However if you intend to use a 2 way switch, the solution will be a little more complicated.

Releasing the momentary switch SD must trigger another switching operation 988>2012. I have not found a solution yet. SRFF and PULS are not available in Otx as a function in logical switches or have been named differently.

​@@Retep12 Hi Peter, based on the info available at mult-protocol.org, 3D/6G (ch8) is defined as momentary switch. Can I assume that every time that button is pressed and released, the X8 radio will send a change in PWM i.e. 988>2012>988 to the plane or it is only 988>2012 ? If it is the latter, then another press on it will bring it back to 988 ? Let's assume it is the first case, so when the button is pressed for the first time, 988>2012>988 is sent to the plane to enable 3D mode. To get back into 6G, press the button again and another 988>2012>988 is sent. Below is what I come out with: L01 EDGE SD↓ [0.2:<<] - - - L02 EDGE SD↑ [0.0:<<] L03 L03 STKY L01 L02 - - - L04 OR L01 L02 - - - For L01 and L02, you may set the duration to 0.2 or longer if the plane doesn't respond properly. For L01, the [0.2:<<} gives a slight delay 0.2 seconds after the button is pressed. This is to remove accidental triggering of the switch. L03 is there to ensure L02 can only be triggered AFTER L01 has occurred. You may map L04 directly to ch8. SRFF is now named as STKY. It's difficult to discuss this on YT. If you need more help, you may email me gmail com 😊

I've only flown it with Infinity 3S 850mAh 85C and Gens Ace 3S 800mAh 45C. The latter has slightly lower internal resistance and just a little bit lighter. The Infinity can take much abuse without puffing up. Flight time is about 5 minutes max with throttle management. Your mileage may vary though. 😊

Hi, you can try 5 quick presses of the left button. There will be 2 beeps and the green led on the receiver board should turn red. It doesn't matter if the plane is flying or if the throttle is armed. I believe the stock ESC is rated for 20A and we have been flying it on 3S but everything does heat up a fair bit. Some of us has converted it to with external receiver and gyro for much better control. You may do a search over on RCGroups forum. Here is a video of 1 of us... 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/enXadHpnjZuVgsUsi=IezKZizCPSIkLoM9

Yes, the stock props can be rather fragile. They do get damaged with rough landings.

I just bought a buggy. Maybe will go OHR to try out as it mentioned can go up to 100kmh

@@RCBobOng I ordered from taobao. Happy CNY

Oh yes, running 3S in this video. 😁

Thanks for the support! It's a fun versatile plane that can take much punishment. You got to try it on the water, just make sure there isn't much wind or waves. It can easily capsize in cross wind (happened to me twice already!) 😁

@@RCBobOng haha that is what I am afraid of. It is normally windy here and I don't have a reliable rescue boat yet. I may wait till summer as its freezing now and I ain't going in after it if it flips 🤣🤣🤣👊🏼

Haha! Google translate to the rescue! 😆

Thanks Peter. It does have a unique air intake at it's belly, direct into the air flow. It's not easy to take good videos of flying RC planes. We tried several times but the plane is just a flying dot on the screen. 😂

It's a Runcam Thumb powered off a small 1S lipo battery. Have fun with the Raptor!

Thanks! Glad that you enjoy it!

Well, this was the only time my propeller failed completely. I suspect the root cause is due to the aileron servo coming loose and into the path of the blade tips. At that moment, I was wide open throttle (3S) and making a vertical climb, so there was a lot of forward flexing on the motor pylon.

If you crash as often and as bad as I do 😱, then yes, this plastic frame piece that holds the aileron servo in will break. Once the servo comes off loose, it's a matter of time before the blades will strike it.

Ahhh. So the black aileron clamp on frames came loose causing the prop blades to hit and disintegrate? Is the foam material for the ailerons ok? Or do you need to order replacement along with aileron frame?

I have several big crashes to the point of breaking the fuselage/wings in half. Every time I've managed to glue everything back together after some hot water treatment to get the broken foam back into shape. It will be most useful to have some spares on hand whenever you need them. I do have a complete spare fuselage with all the plastic pieces ready to go for the next big ground smack. 🤣

Wenn Sie sich das Querruderservo genau ansehen, ist es aufgesprungen. Mein nächstes Video wird zeigen, dass dies wahrscheinlich die Ursache für den anschließenden Absturz ist! 😥

Having read your comment again, I'm not sure if I understood correctly which artifact you're referring to. 🤣 If you're referring to the artifact on the prop, that's more to do with the 'shutter' speed of the camera. It always happens when under a bright sunny day. Those videos that were taken at the river were done quite late at sunset. Less light equals slower shutter speed, more mesh up of any movement.

@@RCBobOng excellent information! It’s amazing how quickly this Paptor elevates to high altitude. Mine came with a 3000kv brushless motor. The recommended spare they show during purchase of the Paptor is only 2300kv. I ordered a replacement on the parts breakdown list, but it doesn’t show the kv value in the parts listing. We’ll see when it arrives. I always like to have spare parts on hand. Salt water in my area can be a problem.

@@floser75 Just like with fishing gear in salt water you have to rinse it all down when done or everything starts rusting and corroding. Rinsing down the motor would present an issue I’m sure.

@@lebleup Hi, to turn off the stabilisation, you can press the top left button 5 times in quick succession. You'll hear 2 "beeps". To get it back to stabilised mode, press it just once more and you'll hear a single "beep".

@@RCBobOng Wow thank you! Is there an instruction page for the Paptor in English somewhere? Somehow I think there is more function to this place than I am aware of. Thank you for the information.

Thank you! My setup is nothing too complicated. I have a piece of fibreglass tape over the top side of the hatch cover (near the plane's COG). That tape has a good wide base upon which I attached double sided foam tape that will hold the Runcam steady with its original mount. For this video, I used a small 1S 380mAh LiPo as power source and tucked it under the hatch cover with tape to stop it flopping around. Whole setup is plug and play. Hope that helps.

@@RCBobOng very nice! I just got a Paptor. It looks like I have a project to add to this new flight experience. Your idea is awesome! Thank you for sharing and again thanks for the videos they are very awesome.

Yes, it does flex a fair bit. I have blade tip cuts near the "gutter" area from a few bad landings. The horizontal stabiliser/elevator is another weak point but ok for now as long as I'm not attempting any acrobats. 😁

Yes, happened two time with me. I am using Gemfan propeller MCK 51466 V2, with good performance. Only with this prop I can land from water.

@@llledmarlll 👍 that's good info. Thanks!

@@RCBobOng We've got a 5x4x3 drone blade on currently. Works OK but it has put several marks in the plastic from heavy bumps down in spite of having some clearance on the prop when still. I'd say that using a 5.1" prop would be stretching it a bit unless you plan on treating it nice and gentle - and that's not what we bought them for! 😉😊

I guess maybe that's the reason why the stock prop is some weird size of 4.8", to give a little more clearance. Even so, with any rough positive G landing, it won't be long before something goes BANG! 🤣 It forces me to keep it smooth when touching down. Good habit for future bigger planes.
