Actually, it was preprogramed into the IX 14. All I did was select the T 28 and everything was where I wanted it and how I wanted it except the flaps were reversed.
It was a long time ago already, and I still have not flown it. Typical old school ARF assembly, but I do remember struggling with the nacelle installations. They were very tight and took a bit of work to fit them into the proper place. Maybe the newer ones have fixed this glitch. Thanks for watching!
I was fortunate to go to the jamboree in 1978-80 , I was a kid but remember it being a huge event with what seemed like 100 models and the full scale show , was a great time !
After you put the battery in, before you plug it in, just give it the "finger balance" test. If it hangs somewhere around 1/4 to 1/3rd of the way back, you should be golden. Good luck!
Sorry to hear. I personally don't stress too much on the CG. With these Eflite models, I just shove a battery in and fly. 3 cell, 4 cell, 2200 ma to 3300 ma they all seem the same to me.
Well, this was like the 56th annual Jamboree, so I'd say there is a better than even chance for next year! LOL! Steve, it is always on the weekend after Labor day-Friday, Saturday and Sunday with full scale shows on Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.
I love the old biplanes. My dad ordered plans from a late 60's to very early 70's RC Modeler magazine for what I remember was called "Rumblestadt". he used ranger 42 foam wings and the 10 motor wasn't enough, so he upgraded to a 20 and it flew beautifully. My pops 84 and still has the fuselage, but loaned the ranger 42 wings to a kid building a bipe and he never returned the wings.
Sorry we missed you this year, matt and I were there Weds to Friday night. Left early due to rain forecasted Saturday. Looks like Sunday was another perfect day!
Very nice flight Rick, Very steady on the sticks on the P-47 Thunderbolt, How do you like the IX14 for a radio? Thinking about upgrading from the NX10.
Hi Tug! Thanks for watching! I like the IX14 just fine, but I don't really use it enough to understand it very well. I loaned mine to our mutual friend Jack 78 and he learned it real well and then bought one for himself. If you want some real insight into it, he's the guy to talk to. Rick
I may have to transport this in a hatchback. If it's got fuel and oil, do you think it can be transported on its back (the handle and wheels are on the floor). I feel your pain about bending over. Have had a hiatal hernia for years and it spikes my heartbeat into the 150s after a couple bends.
Very interesting crash video, You can hear the motor pulse around a minute before the crash. Wonder what caused that, I agree with Jeff In LA I would paint that Camera Orange so I can spot it easier. Great Video and I hope the Tundra can be easily repaired,
Yes, we both heard the motor too, yet after testing the battery was in the 80's percentage wise and all 4 cells good. The plane was undamaged and flew again shortly after this flight by me successfully but then after I left Al told me he had another crash. Also little or no damage, but hey!
Al nice flying a great part of the field to crash, I always find the Hardest spot to crash. Rick maybe paint the onboard camera Orange. 😀😀 Jeff in LA USA
A year ago, same plane, I think, dropped my bright orange RunCam into that field. We didn't see it fall off and despite repeated searches, including drones, it is still out there. The Mobius came of when/where he crashed so at least we knew where to look.
