I wish I had seen this before assembling my SW 67 laser. The build is almost identical but there was very little guidance. You did some things I wish I would have done. The maiden is this week! I'm pretty excited.

Nice overview, just got the SW Yak 54 PNP myself. Just very bad practice to calibrate/change ESC settings with the prop mounted! If people follow along, please don't follow that step and remove the prop first. These props on 6S will send you to the ER within a blink.

[@upwardrc]

Yep totally agree. I should have done that. If you mess up and get the motor reversed or something with the prop on you will be in big trouble.

Thanks for the temp info.. I very much needed to know that for sure.

[@upwardrc]

Glad it helped!

Nice video! I subscribed!

[@upwardrc]

Awesome! Thanks man

[@alwaysflying6540]

You don't need to reset the esc they are programmed from factory. You need to calibrate your throttle so the esc can learn your throttle stick endpoints. It takes only a few minute's.

Hi, thank you for your valuable video. I am not a 3D pilot, I carry out sport flights with some 3D figures. Could you tell me the recommended CG and the right excursions for low rate and high rate of this model? A thousand thanks. Maurice.

I need to know where to find the settings for transmitter for this plane. Having trouble finding what to set everything to as far as aleirons an elevator

Nice! hey, what Expo do you have setup, those are huge throws

[@upwardrc]

Thank you! I’m still experimenting to find the sweet spot for this plane. I normally start with 65 on Ailerons, 40 on rudder and 50 on Elevator. That said it really just depends on how you like it.

Totally! all personal preference. I just want to know out of curiosity how others do it. Hope you post some video of the flights. Thank you

[@upwardrc]

@ For sure. I hope to get some right videos out soon!

Awesome!! happy holidays

What covering iron are you using? Im havinf a hard time finding a good temperature controlled covering iron

[@upwardrc]

This is what I’m using: a.co/d/6P2BRQi

[@flyingfools47]

@@upwardrc thanks! I actually managed to find the exact same one an hour ago after some close examination of the few close up shots of the iron in the video and comparing it to pictures of ones on Amazon and I found the identical match! Apparently I'm a legendary detective 😂

[@AphexTwinII]

What iron is that?

[@upwardrc]

Hi! It’s from Amazon. Here is the link: O'SKOOL Display Veneer Edge Banding Sealing Iron a.co/d/4V73dBc

stop using apc props

[@alwaysflying6540]

Why. I use apc without issue

[@waynemiller6070]

Personally I like APC props. And the laser I just got looks like it's APC but it isn't. It's a wood prop painted grey. Are you happier now?
