Sea Land Air Paptor H650 XiaXiu 侠秀航模 Rudder Mod Stock Tx

I added a rudder servo to the vertical fin. The stock Tx and Rx have provision on the PCBs for rudder control, it's a pity the manufacturer chose not to include it. I guess to save some money and for weight saving?
Nevertheless, the additional rudder servo doesn't really change the flying characteristic much in gyro mode. In manual mode, the banks and rolls are 'cleaner' but it's hard to tell in this video due to gusty wind above the treeline.
It's most obvious on land. You can literally steer and drive it around with much better control. Next test will be on water... 😆

Looking forward to your proxy tests Bob. At no pain to us! 😜🤣🤣

Now i havd to take mine out asap im still yet to try it. I buy too many planes 😂

[@RCBobOng]

Yes, we all have too MANY planes. 🤣

[@Califaztlan831]

That thing rips! So specifically which 3s battery do you recommend for this small plane?

[@RCBobOng]

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. 😊

Hello Bob, unlike my other XK planes, the 6G/3D switch on the X450 is mapped to a memory switch. Press 3D once, press again to go back to 6G. That takes too long and I never know if the switch has been made. (Risk of crashing) On my other planes I hold down the 3D button for stunts, when I let go it automatically goes back to 6G mode. Do you know how this function can be mapped in OTx? I suspect via a logical switch. But I haven't found the solution yet.😅

[@Retep12]

That's done, I sometimes think too complicated😄

[@RCBobOng]

@@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.

[@Retep12]

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:

[@Califaztlan831]

One more question... can the h650 make loops with a 3s?

[@RCBobOng]

Yes it can when the gyro is off. But IMHO the stock radio isn't any good for aerobatic flying. It WILL be squirrely and I often have to put it back into gyro mode to save it.

[@Retep12]

Nose off, I know that from stock transmitter times and fault lines. 3s junkie!!!😂😂🤣

[@RCBobOng]

Oh yes, running 3S in this video. 😁
