can you make any channel or control surfaces have differential? on the transmitters i have i can only do diff on the airlerons but i actually need it on rudders too, because i have a rather experimental design with two rudders. I'm looking for a transmitter that can do it. Thank you
I'll try and answer your question and read a little between the lines. Differential is usually only required on ailerons and the amount of differential can often vary depending on the speed at which the model is flying at. On a glider I use more differential when the glider is in thermal mode than I do when in cruse mode and even less when in speed mode. My radio does not have differential on rudder however you could achieve this by a couple of methods. You could simply reduce the travel in one direction which will give a predetermined and fixed amount of differential, however if you wished to vary the differential in a different flight mode then you could introduce a mix in the flight mode switch which reduces the travel in one direction. Hope this is of some assistance.
yes that is very helpful. thank you, i will try to do that. Would you say this Futaba allows more adjustability than other makes? Or do they all allow the same sort of adjustability? I have a spektrum dx8e and it doesnt seem to be adjustble enough to get the kind of control i need, so im considering other makes of transmitter @@banko4509
The radio transmission signals will not pass through carbon fiber. The 'cockpit' area and nose of the fuselage is made of regular glass-fiber because that is where the radio-control receiver and other electronics will be located. The kevlar strips are laid in the stress areas that need reinforcement for strength in case of nose first impact, but overall this area of the fuselage is far less stressed than the boom/rudder and lifting surfaces of the wing where carbon is used.
professional Fuselage build ? No bolts in the molds, connecting with screw clamps like in stone age, not possible to push/close the mold due to the rising inmolded peaks. no white Gelcoat on the fuse, take out and fuse is ready. This is not state of the art in Mold and Fuselage building. Carbon looks good but not necessary. area fuse/rudder is immensly stressed and will break.
I think the wooden frame is a good idea on such a long mold, to stop it from warping. Makes bolts redundant. Metal frame is also an option. But I think you'd be being a bit too harsh. They probably know what they're doing.
