  • I did remodel the trolley, as the insulation pipe on the vertical part either fly away during take off or prevent the trolley to be dismounted as there is too much tape...

    I doubled up the vertical part with a pieces of plywood and glued over some insulation foam for doors, look to be very satisfactory, I should test this soon

    • Question: with the recommended landing flaps has anyone mixed in any elevator, if so how much? The recommended Aileron throws seem to be excessive, any comments?

      Comment


      • I am not using elevator mix with the flaps, but I do not put them down that much... I did not noticed a tendency for the plane to balloon when flaps are deployed, but I am using mainly spoilers on landing

        For the ailerons, throws are not excessive if you want to do a bit of aerobatics, I even coupled the flaps to the ailerons to have more authority (ailerons down -> flap down as the flaps don't move up...)

        Anybody has other views on this?

            • Question for all (especially Stephane): I wish to program mix so that my trailing edge is full flying in the down mode

              I have been on the phone with Horizon today asking them about programing MIX in my DX9 Black. I want to program in my acrobatic mode a flap/aileron mix. Horizon has yet to tell me how although they are still working issue. I wish to program mix so that my trailing edge is full flying in the down mode (as you all know, there is no upward movement on the flaps on this bird) Stephane ---> I know you have done this but I nor Horizon have been able to identify how.

              My quest continues, any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.......

              Thanks

                • Stephane,

                  With your direction I have once again broke through the glass ceiling, lol Thanks again!!

                  I will now go completely through her and finalize all adjustments. If the weather will clear up I will get her out for her pre maiden pics. Additionally. Now I have to turn my attention to the trolley as it is not deep enough to carry bird - regardless of what esprit models says. Apparently the one recommended by horizon is not the one in the pictures which they show. Also, not big enough for the bird.

                  Slow going but progress being made,

                  Thanks Stephane!

                  Bob

                    Just a teaser, here is yesterday flight, pict of the bird and snapshot of the vario log

                    For the trolley you can not go wrong with the horizon hobby one, they designed it for the ASW-20

                      PS. Doesn't the man get hot sitting there all day long)))))

                  • Stephane yes a huge tease.....

                    As for the trolly (http://www.horizonhobby.com/launch-t...20-p-han495509) they are all out of stock as (they have been pulled from stock - not the correct item (in Picture) being sold) I can't find one. If you know where one is I will be glad to order. Tried with Graves as well - pulled from stock. I think there has been a mix up on products somehow.

                    What was the altitude on the vary - I was not able to see left hand column...

                    Waiting for the sun to break I want to send you all pictures, I find her to be Beautiful

                        • Hello All,

                          I wanted to show you all my Maiden Flight. I, of course, was very excited. The video was taken off of a cell phone so its not the best but I wanted to share. Thanks to all that have assisted me in putting her together.
