That first landing was accidentally amazing. Although during you running it down, it was kind of reminding me of those action scenes from Trailer Park Boys. Then I got the idea that we should make a mockumentary about the FAA/TCCA tracking down rogue RC pilots taking their job way too seriously. I guess that last crash finished you.
What was the cause of the brown outs? Not enough amperage from the BEC, or do you think it was signal loss?

Not really sure, I have one of those AFHDS receivers in it not the 2A ones that I have, had the antenna running along the left side toward the back. Really sucked giving it full throttle for that low pass and everything was gone, had the stick all the way back and nothing. No FC or gyro so nothing that way. I thought on the first crash that maybe that pole and power lines might have had something to do with it as with the second crash but on the second crash I had control but no throttle. Almost thinking maybe I should have calibrated the ESC. I thought about it when I plugged it in at the shop to check everything over and didn't. I was definitely a little tail heavy but not too too bad, it was manageable . Fortunately That is the only one of those receivers I have so we'll see if I experience same issue in the others.

I can send you a couple of receivers if you need em. I am converting all of my stuff to ELRS, slowly but surely. So I have a couple of the Flysky receivers I can part with. |

I am good for receivers , thinking about upgrading the radio system as well. I am throwing together a little care package for droneflyer so if you think you might want to pass them on to someone I have his address.Had a smoke a little while ago and now I'm playing that episode of the Trailer Park Boys in my head LMAO. I can hear Bubbles freaking out LOL.

I can hear Bubbles freaking out LOL. If he needs motors let me know too, I still have a few I can give away, I can make him a nice care package. If the value is under $60 I don't think you need to pay customs on it. Who knows what Fidel's son up there will do though. (sorry, gotta make fun of your prime minister when I get a chance). Or if you want any motors, I would be glad to send em. |

Hey guys did some maidening myself got the FT simple Soar worked on and it flies well also got the FB school boy in the air and tuned in. also flew the FT Tiny trainer but that was tuned in a while back. I got the little FT arrow in the air but I guess I shouldn,t have used 4 gram servos the first time I tried to bank a turn a servo stripped and broke and she dove into the ground have replaced then with metal gear 9gram servos going to try again on friday as its a holiday here like monday is in the states. I going to try and maiden 3 or four others I built over the winter.

I stripped one of my dollar 9g servos, so I had to invest in the metal gear ones. In the grand scheme of things, they are worth it compared to the ones I threw in the trash. The arrow was my first successful FT design. I am going to do some FPV this weekend, I am hoping one of my new planes gets in. |

Well this is the first time i have had a problem i have four of them in my FT Tiny trainer and not had any problems with them but the size of the control surface that is used for elevons is much more substantial and The leverage force may need to be over come with more powerful servos. I read about a guy having problem with an Ft Spear the same way with the rather large elevons.

I lost my second FT p-40, the cool white yellow and green one I built with the epo front hatch and the 3d printer lower hatch because of something like this, I was going about 60-70mph in it, and I still had the $1.50 amazon blue servos on it and I was at about a 20 degree pitch down and I pulled up and the servo stripped plummeting the plane into the ground. Sad days. I only use the MG90 servos on fast and heavy planes now. |
