My Rafale hasn’t had nose gear problems yet. However, my Eflite F16 started doing the same thing. I fixed it by lubricating the rod that connects the nose gear and the nose wheel steering pushrod.

@MultiSweeney1 Год назад

Have you tried it with the 3d printed nozzles from RcGeek? Apparently, they make a noticeable difference in performance.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Never saw a reason to. The jet performs exceptionally using LiHV batteries. We prefer the stock nozzles for more low-end thrust.

Larry should be developing a dual head burner that will work with this jet, but we carved the foam out in the rear where the exhausts bifurcate and used an 80mm burner that we had laying around.

@rlbutterfield Год назад

Great suggestion for gear not deploying.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

It's the only thing that worked for us. Full right rudder while climbing. Had to do the same thing with the A-10 70mm too.

@old-rcplane-phart Год назад

With an avian 100a esc, there's no more gear issues & the servos r a lot more responsive. (Avian bec is stronger than the predator esc's bec I guess). Everything got faster after I swapped esc's. (Put 100a 'A' version in my Rafale and in my fms pitts. Huge improvement on both. I just wanted telemetry. 🤷‍♂️)

@Aircamshots Год назад

Did you upgrade your esc or bec in order to handle the additional load from all the servos? I’m unclear if the breakout box actually acts as a bec too and I just upgraded to the Spektrum RX you recommended but just want to know the stock esc can handle all the servos without an additional bec. Thanks guys!

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

The ESC was changed out to an Avian 100 amp unit, but not because of any load issue - it was changed to have a 6v BEC for faster/more powerful servos and integrated voltage telemetry. The stock ESC handles just fine.

Nope, this is all on the stock servos. They're glued in place with extensive stickers covering them. It would have been a pain in the butt to remove them.

@RCPlaneNut Год назад

Awesome job I need a little help did you make a video of how you set this jet up and how did you remove the box they have in to and when you took the black box out how did you do it and were the wires lone enough to go up front?

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

We didn't shoot a setup vid for this jet. Simply put, we haven't had time to make setup videos anymore with the upload schedule we keep to. We may find a way to do it again in the future. For now what we'd recommend is to fly it stock - unless you really want to push it the way we do, stock is more than enough. If you don't want to fly it stock, you'll have to unscrew the wood tongue holding the black box and Reflex gyro in place and wire everything in manually, then program the receiver to function the way you'd prefer it to. It's not a simple task and unfortunately can't be easily explained in text.

@RCPlaneNut Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC yes I understand I have gotten pretty good at programing my ix20 by watching your set up vids . Knowing how to get the black box out was my big question so thanks for helping with that. And I feel I can manage the rest 🤞lol

@FFE-js2zp Год назад

The Mustang II’s split flaps under the fuse are a cool feature. I think those bounces are the rwy condition. Just from watching, I dunno know that I share your high praise for the jet in the air. It looks like it has really good pitch control, but it rolls hard right as the wing approaches critical AOA. One aerobatic test I always do is an elevator only, tight loop to see if a plane changes heading with straight back elevator. I think this plane would exit at least 90 degrees off of the entry heading with a straight pull. That can be really hard to solve. It’s also a risk of departure in the pattern final turn, either nosing down and into a slow right base, or reversing to a right spin on a slow left base. A “roller” is AF slang for any jet that rolls in one direction at high AOA. Sometimes it’s caused from flying in a constant state of slip: so the ailerons are over-trimmed opposite some similar amount of opposite direction rudder trim. At high AOA, like at the slower speed top of a loop, the rudder becomes more effective than the ailerons, and so the rudder trim starts to dominate the aileron trim. The hard thing is if it’s not trim, but out of square basic airframe alignment. So you might try aileron trimming a little to the right, plus rudder trimming a little to the left, to see if you can get it to pull all the way through an aggressive loop on-heading.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

That'll be something to look into when I get back from NH. Appreciate the info. Unfortunately a lot of the jet models do roll during accelerated stalls, so that might be the root issue too

@FFE-js2zp Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC All airframes will roll as one wing inevitably stalls before the other based on airflow perturbations or slight uncoordination upon stalling. Some great aerobats have a dynamic stability that self-corrects without ruining overall purity. But in theory, if the airframe is perfectly square, and none are, the asymmetry in each stall situation should be random. So it’s a matter of degree with each plane. The degree will run from zero tendency to stall the same side wing before the other (perfect build) to 100% of the time one side drops first (bent build). I would call this one bent because I think the right wing always drops well before the left. But obviously I am only watching not flying, so I defer to your actual experience.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

@@FFE-js2zp It could just be this particular airframe. I actually don't mind a predictable roll, makes it easier to plan where it will depart to.

@FFE-js2zp Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC There is probably some Goldilocks zone. To me the porridge is too cold when I need to actively correct the nose track through a loop.

@FFE-js2zp Год назад

It can also be a weight imbalance. Sometimes I tape a coin on a wing tip if the plane doesn’t balance while lifting from the nose and tail.

@squibblejack Год назад

So maybe mixing the nose gear steering to rudder, when their is enough receiver ports, and maybe you can get away with 150% rudder, and turn the steering mix slaving to the rudder down to normal. I like it when their is enough ports to assign steering to its own channel, and the dial knob, for fine running the taxi alignment straight. If you are having problems with that. I know I do not like the popping I see when I was using 150% rudder throw, on the steering.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

That's usually how we prefer to do it, but that isn't possible on an 8ch setup unfortunately.

@squibblejack Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC Dang it Jon, now I want one of these. Lol Totally awesome seeing your friend land that beautiful plane. Funny what you said, I laughed about rc landing with the bounces. hehhee

@squibblejack Год назад

But when gear is up, with 150% rates the steering servo and arm seem to have translation issues by way of to much and popping on extreme translations, I noticed on all my edf's. Also some of the edfs I own I can not get away with 150% rates, because the linkages will collide with fixed surfaces, also depends on hole authority servo's and control horns used. So I have to always check, and make sure no issues far as those matters. I was gonna say nice Delta, also FMS makes sturdy landing gear.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Sturdy gear but less than ideal linkage systems, unfortunately.

What flight times are you getting with the 5000 packs? I got one waiting in the queue. Going to use some 60C 5200's. Not thrilled about the gear issues you're having. Hopefully it's not a systematic problem with the plane.

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

Anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how much we push the jet. Honestly, the gear trouble isn't big enough to not enjoy this model. We'd recommend getting it - just be aware that you might have to climb and use full right rudder to drop the gear. It's only an inconvenience to what's otherwise the best flying jet we've experienced so far.

@jeffbrundt7740 Год назад

@@TwoBrosRC I'm wondering if something in the steering linkage is causing a bind. And when you apply right rudder it frees it.
