I've been involved with the RC hobby for many years and this is my channel to share all sorts of RC and aviation content. I'm currently creating build VLOGs of various RC models that I'm building. Enjoy!
@@adrianmilanesi9143 I think you’re joking and you know this…but in case others read this and don’t know…it’s doesn’t matter if you balance it right side up or upside down. Do whatever is easier for the particular plane you’re working with…and the size of balancer you have.
On mine i also relocated the landing gear, made retractalbe the rear wheel, reworked the engine canopy, added details and did some weathering job ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u5lHojZp_ic.htmlsi=_WN4neGbzeCOwi9q
Another tip. I bought a lab jack from Amazon. Makes dialing in level on tail wheel planes stupid easy. I chose one that extends to almost 12" high, and it cost around $30.
@@djmoosecom DJ: Thank you very much, I though so because the inventor of the “E-Z Balancer II said that it’s a myth that You turn the plane upside down with the landing up in order to get the correct CG.
Wait, I thought you were asking about balancing the plane with the retracts extended or retracted. Were you asking about balancing the plain upright or inverted? In that case it doesn't matter. Do whatever is easier for the plane. Sometimes a low wing plane will be easier to balance upside down. Also, sometimes, a balancer might be too short or not wide enough to hold the plane upright...then you might have to balance it upside down. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter. CG is the same upright or inverted.
Not yet. My career took over this year. I'll get to maiden in the Spring. You can see my Perestroika here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GdgfKoJ2go4.htmlsi=RHhPXK8Ra0Poi8f-
This programmer only allows you to "customize the parameters of Hitec’s Programmable DXXX, HSB-9XXX, HS-7XXX and HS-5XXX Series Servos" -taken from the product page
Yes you can. There is no programming info sent out of the sync port...it's simply duplicating the pulse width being sent to the Hitec servo you're programming.
@@djmoosecom so if I understand correctly, your using the transmitter settings with one servo to match the pulse width of another servo plugged into the device?
This unit seems nice and techy but hundreds of dollars later your just complicating the balancing process. You can use the Great Planes CG Machine and get some longer rods from a Hardware store to put through the balancing support holes to make it work for larger Planes. I've don 50cc Top Flight Warbirds this way. What if the electronics aren't accurate.
That's true. What about 100cc planes? 200cc planes? You're not wrong. I'm not trying to sell this...just made a review for those who'd like to use one.
Hello… just purchased the model and will be delivered tomorrow. I am curious how you attached the wheel pants to the struts. Did you use screws like the other parts? Any chance to see a photo? Also, what size prop did you use? Thank you!
I used the same small screws that I used for the "shoulders" near the fuse. I didn't try something fancier as I have a few pairs of replacement pants and I wanted to be able to change them out without having to deal with glue. I'll post a closeup pic later. Thanks for asking! Enjoy the plane! Let me know how it goes!
@@djmoosecom Thanks for the reply. I purchased the same motor as you and was curious what your final battery configuration was? Did you have to add weight to the nose? Als, what size prop did you end up using? I was thinking a 22 X 10 or 12, Xoar. Thanks!
Hello. I am looking to do something unusual. I would like to buy the Black Horse Gilmore fuselage from Motion Rc to somehow mate with wings from a Great Plane Giant Stick XL to it. Can you give me the diameter of the spare wing tube please. Trying to se how much modification it might require.
Followed your video. All good light comes on DPC-11 , green square lights up . Will not connect. Servo is HSB-9380-TH, never been used. Have reloaded software several times. Windows 10. Any ideas. I see your connections are black wire to bottom. Tried that picture l received was black wire to top.
That 888D has the worst UI ever. An infuriating embarrassment; it couldn't be more non intuitive if they tried. However, it looks like they've changed a few things since I bought mine.
I've got a question about the tail codes, and I hope you'll know the answer. I built a model that had the tail code "3-116", with one red horizontal stripe and no ABC characters. If "116" refers to the type of plane and its individual number, then what does the "3" prefix mean?
One reason would be if you are experiencing jitter on a surface...increasing the deadband might help. Also, remember, folks use servos for lots of other things than RC....some situation might need the servo to be just slightly not EXACT at all times to help relieve pressure. I've never needed to adjust it, myself.
Can't you do most of this on a decent transmitter? I got a hs-7955tg I like the fact you can control the speed. I ran futaba 3003 standard servos as a kid and these high end servos are abit to fast expo seems to help slow it down. Anyone program one and was it worth messing with? It's neat but idk if I wanna invest in a programmer. What's your guys thought on this programing it worth it? I only have this one hitec servo rest are other brands. From past experience I'm not a huge fan of hitec had a few and think they were abit weaker than the specs claimed and seen a few burn out but that happens sometimes. But anyone use thus what's your thoughts on it?
Yes you can do most of this with a transmitter. I like programming the servos so if I sell the plane or change transmitters, the new radio needs less work to keep the same throws. I personally like programming the servos because it works with how I think...everyone has their own preferred way.
