The 8S model I bought off you just arrived. woo hoo. I agree with your views on flying nose heavy first, worst case you have to add elevator trim. Tail heavy, worst case is a snap roll on takeoff. Keep up the good work. You need to upgrade your Futaba to an 18SZ or 18MZ and run telemetry. Beats guess work. Swap out the ESC with a Castle and get the S-Bus2 telemetry link. Add a Futaba GPS / Variometer and you have everything you need. total ESC data / rate of climb and decent, GPS speed and you can even add a temp sensor for the batteries if you are going to fly full mil power for a while. Also agree with previous comments on Futaba upgrade and the sue of local switches and the use of Flaperons. I will be giving them a try. Im still working on combining the variometer and GPS speeds mixed with flight conditions to get a stall warning on landing approaches. Looks like I can get that to work on my new Graupner MZ 32. This plane is going to look interesting side by side with my LX F-4 Navy scheme. Its running 2 JP all metal 70mm fans.

So happy that MRC added the Grey version. Saved me alot of work :-) I can't wait to start my build next week (hopefully). My problem has always been which scheme to pick. There are too many cool ones to choose from. I finally settled on the Marine Red Devils. Another fantastic winner from Freewing and MRC :-)

Ryan, upgrade your 8j to the Futaba 16 or 18sz, then create flight conditions called Normal and take off (part flaps) and Landing (full flaps), use separate on elevator trim (gives 3 different elevator trims on same trim switch) Then can adjust elevator trims as your flying, with flaps up, half flaps and full flaps down. It’s brilliant. Enjoyed the vid of the Phantom. Keith

Keep in mind that futaba has weird end points by default. What most radios call +/- 100 is +/- 151 on futaba. In short, by default, futaba uses about two thirds of the radio resolution.

You know those plane tracking platform tripods that fpv pilots use for their fpv equipment? I bet that would work for a camera system...some tweaking or the Arduino code and you’d be able to get zoom to work perfectly too! All automatically! A perfectly framed shot all the time, every time! Could be done relatively cheap too. All with diy if you have the know-how. Can I have a job?

@Jazzman-bj9fq5 жыл бұрын
Hey, everyone has to learn some time, lol. I'll tell you though, if the FMS 1400mm series A6M Zeros come back in stock get yourself one of them... Although it's a warbird, it has such an airframe that it would be more manageable to learn to fly than trying to fly a P-51 for the first time and it can fly slower without stalling like other planes with more aggressive characteristics. Then you can get into the edfs that are faster and more challenging. Also getting yourself a nice flight simulator for your pc or laptop will be worth it's weight in gold, practice those take offs and landing approaches.
