Well today was the day that I collected on my Christmas Presant! LOL. If youall remembered, I got an hour flight training in A Real Plane! :arms: I went up in A Cessna 150. She was an old ratteltrap but she flew beautifully! :cool1: The Flight Instructor put her in the air and I did the rest! I flew her Around for an hour practicing right and left banks. Glidding with the engine at idle. then landing. I did A touch and go then A full landing! It was scary to say the least but I did it anyway! the part the scared me the worst believe it or not was turning the plane right and left. I guess when the plane was banking it startaled me or something. After about 1/2 hour of flying I finally calmed down and my heart went back to normal. I told the instructor that maybe he should land the plane but he told me I was doing fine. He said if I could land an RC plane i would do great! LOL I told him i wasn't great at landing A RC plane! LOL. All in all it was A great time! I don't know if I would spend the cash to go any further though! OH WELL!!!! LOL.

I go to the mix1, or mix2 menu on my dx6i & I try & try but no matter what I do, 1 side works, but the other doesnt do anything. I know is probably I'm not programming my transmitter correctly.

I plan to take lots of pictures and post them here to document the progress as this thing comes together. The back story is that I was looking for a msr and came across a craigslist ad where someone was selling a pile of R/C aircraft. Among the pile was the msr I was looking for, and this acromaster. I bought the whole pile and decided to build up the acromaster since I was looking for a sport/3d plane anyway. From what I can tell, the guy who bought the ARF kit also bought this power pack http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVEP8 and a set of 4 HS82MG servos. I plan on getting an orange rx for this plane.

My first question is about the servos, are they digital, and is digital as big a deal for planes as it is for helis?

The prop is a 11 x 5.5 electric thin prop, is this what I need?

Also, there were no batteries in the box, however I do have a 1800 mah 3s battery from my blade 400, will this work to get me off the ground to start with?

Here are a few pictures of the electronics.

Today, I finally got a chance to use the digital caliper I bought a month or so ago. I checked all the lengths of the links and found them to be ugly off. I got it all back together and took it outside to run up the motor and see what it's like. I plugged it all up, the gyro beeped, ran the left stick up and ... nothing. No rotor movement. I was like !!! I took everything back inside thinking the battery might need recharging. Charged them up ... took it back outside ... plugged it all up ... no motor. Mind you the servos were running just fine ... not motor. Sat down with it in the driveway and started looking. Hmmmm, what could be wrong. Started switching switches on the Tx and Shazam! ... I've got motor! Only issue is unless I pull back all the way on the left stick, I get a minimal amount of motor running. I'm sure I just need to make some adjustments in the programming of the Tx. I figured since I have it running, I might as well spin it up and check it out. I tried this right after I built the thing (way back when) and had a ton of wobble. It all seemed to be out of balance. This time was totally different as it was as smooth or more smooth than the eRazor I first had (not that its that smooth, but hey, small victory). Other than it not wanting to shut down all the way, I'm only having one other issue with it, that being it wants to spin around on me. I have to give it a bunch of left stick to keep it steady. I'm thinking ... I'm thinking ... I don't really know what to do ... so that's the question. It's doing a great piro on the ground. I was almost able to get it up, but it's too hard keeping it steady to try and get it off the ground. I think I either need to shorten or lengthen the control rod going to the tail, but don't want to make that happen until I've got some ideas of you guys. I'm thinking I might also have the gyro on upside down, but don't know. I need to get some tail stability before I make that assessment. ]]> Paulster2 http://www.rc-help.com/showthread.php/3494-Ran-up-the-450GT Big Disappointment... http://www.rc-help.com/showthread.php/3493-Big-Disappointment?goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 22:56:41 GMT After the wind started to calm down, i decided it was a good time tofly my E-Flite UMX Geebee.

I was really excited because i havent flown it in 2-3 weeks. I take off, fly around for a couple of minutes and everything is fine. Then i do a turn on the right side of my yard and i lose signal!!:pissed-off: I've flown it in that area before without any issues!! So, i go to the crash site and everything works. I started to do a range test by walking backwards and moving ailerons until i lose control, and it loses control after like 20yds!!!?? I have NOO idea why i keep losing signal with it. Could it be that the UM reciever units just dont have enough range? I cant fly it at my AMA field because i lose it their too.....

So anyways, i got some other planes out with Spektrum RXs and some knock-offs to test signal. I put them in the area i lost signal in and they work fine. i could go 100yds away and they would be fine!

If you fly it, please give me feedback on what you would like changed. Remember, this is a beta version and you are building and flying this plane at your own risk. Use a 64mm EDF with a 5 blade impeller and a 2200mah 35c 3s Battery. Servos are just standard 9g servos. You can run a single elevator, or split as shown on the plans. If you want to run a single aileron, then make the back of the plane go all the way across (as shown in the maiden video) and you won't have to use a rod to connect them together.

If you feel that the ailerons need to be bigger or smaller, try it out and let me know what you find out. If you can get a 70mm EDF stuffed into this thing and run it on a 4s, let me know. I'm sure that will be a blast lol. I'm trying to get my hands on a 70mm, but that is not going so well.

I got the Hyperion parallel charge board for my MCPX batteries.
Wow what a difference. Instead of charging one battery every 20/30mins, now i charge all six in the same amount of time.
How it works.
The charge board sees one big 1S battery instead of six little ones.
So 6x 300mah batteries become 1x 1800mah battery, and this is how you would set your charger. Tried it for the first time today. 27mins later all charged and ready for action :) ]]> Chargers Lee http://www.rc-help.com/showthread.php/3470-Parallel-Charging-Gotta-love-it-) The big surprise is here!! http://www.rc-help.com/showthread.php/3469-The-big-surprise-is-here!!?goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 12:21:53 GMT It's not much but to me it's a big deal.

I lost the canopy nuts already. I got so excited when I opened it they fell out I think. Any how I have a new set on order along with a new align main gear set. Lets see If I can reduce some of the vibrations. This week end I think I might change the main and feathering shafts just to make sure nothing is bent. I did the hex wrench turning in the blade grips and nothing seemed out of alignment. This will also provide me the chance to check for a level swash.

In the 9x I can copy a model, so I will do that and rest the trims to zero and recheck. Anyhow Happy flying

I want a heli that I can put the receiver for my DX6i in that is a 400 or larger. I love Blade and would dig having a 400. All I need is the heli..I have TX,receiver and will get battery if I need to and I have charger for 3c 11.1 battery so no need there either. Would also consider a trainer plane of same state.. Basically ARF I guess. I have decided that I would rather have something I can run with my DX6i and simplify things. Also I must admit this experience soured me on Walkera as well as I can't stand the radio design. But I assume it will have to be something with a flight bar as I don't believe this receiver will work on a flybarles. Anyway that's my plan guys..hit me up if your interested or have any suggestions. Is a brand new Walkera V400D02 RTF minus battery as it died.

I did bring him the frame for the mcpx and we worked on his blade 400, but couldn't get the blade up and running because of a broke main gear. But we did get his mcpx running with the new frame and had a blast with his and my heli's. I had some tail issues with mine and I'm not sure why. Three times I had my tail just blow out all of a sudden for no reason. On the third battery when it blew out, I totally lost it and crashed it into the concrete very hard. so far the only thing I can see that broke is the tip of the little nipple on the weighted blades. Not a big loss, I have more blades.

I didn't get the Edge Mini or the Bipe out there today even though I wanted to. but I did take my Extra and my big Edge out there. Sadly, the only video I got was onboard the Extra and it actually turned out pretty well. I will be uploading it later. Nothing impressive, but it's flying.

There was one time when I was flying my last battery that I thought I was going to lose my Extra. I had taken off and was going to do some touch and go's in the wind that we have because my landings suck lol. so I went out and was turning around for a final and the wind caught the plane and twisted it. Unfortunately dark clouds had moved in and I still had my glasses on lmao. Needless to say, for the first time in a LONG time, I lost orientation on my plane. But, I regained it and brought it back.

After I did that, all of those nervous feelings came back like I had just started flying again. It sucked and my fingers were shaking lmao. This was bad in this wind. I was able to just relax and was able to do about half a dozen really good touch and go's. The final landing was perfect IMO.

the Edge flew just like the Edge flies all the time, flawlessly. One of these days I'm going to get a GoPro and I will get a lot more onboard video rather than having to rely on my keychain cam.

I will try to get that video uploaded tonight or tomorrow sometime. right now, I'm working on the lanyards and the shirts so I can get them in the store for you guys. ]]> Flight Stories Tony http://www.rc-help.com/showthread.php/3453-Great-Day-Of-Flying Engine recieved...
