DX18 only 90 degrees of travel/X Plus 8 issues

[edfmaniac]

Everything seems to work fine through the extra Powersafe channels I have available so I guess I'll run the retract, brake and esc off of the main system...

[edfmaniac]

I can't figure out why but I can only get 90 degrees of travel on any given servo/channel and any servo hooked up through the X Plus 8 has a wicked pulse...

Tom, I corresponded with some guys from the Slaughter Lane field today and it sounds like they have a weird rule about sailplanes/gliders. They must be...

Thanks. I read the manual last night after posting and discovered the flight log data function. Things have come a long way.

Never installed a receiver with more than one satellite and haven't really dealt with the whole carbon fuse issue before so I'll take any criticism or...

[edfmaniac]

I haven't done final balance yet but I should be able to get away with very little ballast judging from a nearly complete fuse. That makes me happy since...

It's late in the game but here's the latest pic of my progress on the big bird. She's just about ready for some final wiring, programming, motor run ups,...

I hope to make it up that way this fall.

Tom has a 40% Carbon Cub and I have an electric AMR Trainer 50. I think he has a lot of experience and I have very little towing a glider but lot's of...

Hopefully the Austin situation changes. But even when we had a sanctioned soaring club, it wasn't that big and there was very little interest in scale...

[edfmaniac]

Thank you sir. I hope to maiden the plane before July. I will call you and see if we can get together for a chat or possibly have you be there for support....

[edfmaniac]

Thank you very much. I need to build a travel box for my big glider now, but I plan on bringing it down to one of the next two events. Fingers crosse...

I can respect the purest mindset. I almost put a power pod on my Hall Cherokee II, for the same reason that the ASW22 ended up with a motor in the nose,...

I'll definitely post about any successful gatherings....

Thanks Len. Was it you that I sold the Petrel short kit to years ago? Your name sounds familiar. Just wondering if she ever made it into the air. Thanks...

[edfmaniac]

After seeing the latest release from Horizon and thinking the ASW would rarely fly without a constant towing partner to pilot the tow plane, I decided...

[edfmaniac]

I would sure like to have a large scale mentor there when she flies for the first time. ...

I just posted my introduction in another section but this one will probably reach more folks. Any Austin flyers looking to fly locally with others. I...

Whoops. Wrong section. I meant to post in Scale section.
