Want to achieve perfect RC Airplane takeoffs, here is the tool to do it 

Hey hooked this up in my freewing f-14 it disabled my rudders all my gear so I disconnected it and NOW NOTHING works

Tim, unfortunately I would say u have hooked it up wrong. It only goes between the nose gear and the receiver/blue box, not between the receiver and blue box. I would say thousands of people have used this and have not had issues. I guess there could be a one off but who knows. It has nothing to do with the rudder.

That’s nonsense Why is it that NOTHING is working on the plane after I DISCONNECTED it

@@timothygiggey399 couldn’t tell you. I am not sponsored by RC Castle so it appears your mad at me for making a vid on these. I as I stated before have them in my Mig 29, 80 FMS Bae Hawk, F14 and no issues. Nor has anyone else that commented here. The world is not immune nor am I to hooking things up wrong or incorrectly. I have fried many things in my day. My fault. If your sure you didn’t do anything wrong contact RC castle and see what they can do for you. Not sure why hoping this into your nose gear wire would feed back and fry everything. Doesn’t sound feasible to me. Again you can be mad at me, I am just the messenger giving you my honest thoughts

I love em. They work great

Such a cool little device

Thanks, Hope you had a Merry Christmas as well. Anytime

Any flight stabilizer will help. For a $25-30 solution, I recommend the Lemon RX 7-channel versions. I have them in all of my taildraggers and they make a world of difference for ground tracking (and in the air). My larger gas taildragger and tricycle gear planes have Aura 8’s in them with the sane ground (and air) benefits.

Awesomeness. Glad u like them

As long as you stay off the rudder on you touch down it will stay going in the direction

Yes.

Nope. It only ties into the nose gear

I don’t remember how off the top of my head but they list in the direction how to reverse it

It’s worked flawlessly on everything I have put one in. I was floored at how good they are. They only work on front nose gear planes. No tail wheel setups. If your water rudder is linked to the nose wheel give it a shot

@@JustPlaneCrazy The nose gear controls the rudder on the back of the float with a 24ish inch pushrod. What the heck, I’ll buy an extra one and give it a try. If it doesn’t work, it gives me an excuse to buy another expensive jet to put it on. (Thinking ahead when Ms Henderson see’s another jet and asks, “Where did this come from?!?! I’ve worn out “The internet. It was free.”)

I bought 5 because the shipping was free. If you buy one the shipping is 20 times the unit price. Weird. I found planes to put them in and it makes life just easier. Esp at narrow field or planes that are wicked on grass bumps

I used mine on high hv setups

Nope. That have always come quick. But… they have two different types of shipping. One is slower

You will love it. Just bought 5 more myself

@@JustPlaneCrazy I had bought two. The Avanti is the only plane I have that doesn't track straight. Good to have a spare. After seeing your video is what made me decide to try connecting the gyro again. Thanks for the video.

Tried mine out this pass weekend. I must say I make a world of a different for this plane.

Glad you like it

Yes they are completely independent of any system

Yup 7mm amass 150 anti spark. Check eBay and Amazon. I buy whoever is cheaper

Yup

I won't do that on your Cessna. Because it is designed to only work for nose gear steering that has an individual steering servo. First of all. It will work, you may need to plug a gear channel into it, so it knows when your "gear" is down(the gyro will start to work 10s after you lower the gear). HOWEVER, if your nose steering is controlled by the same servo as your tail rudder. By connecting that servo to this gyro. When the gyro is active you will have RUDDER SURFACE MOVEMENTS. I would not recommend doing that. The tail rudder will function with a heading hold from the gyro. And rudder heading hold is rarely used in any flight gyro at all. Because it does not provide a liner performance(unlike Aileron and elevator. Rudder inputs will result in two factors of aircraft movements, bank, and yaw). And might result in a crash. With that being said. If you really want to have it in your Cessna, you could add a separate steering servo for the nose gear, and plug the gyro into the steering servo's side of the Y lead from your receiver.

@@JustPlaneCrazy I don't think it's a good idea to hook up the tail rudder with this gyro.

I don’t see really any difference honestly. Using the rudder or the nose to steer on the ground is the exact same thing.

@@JustPlaneCrazy yah, the problem is he would have rudder movement in the air. Since his Cessna uses a single servo to power the nose gear and the tail rudder at the same time.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate that people comment that things I have done help them.

Unfortunately it is not. This setup is for nose wheel steering planes only

@@JustPlaneCrazy right ...but why....nose wheel, tail wheel...same job?!🤔😜

The input into the gyro will cause the adverse effect on a tail wheel and cannot be programmed out

@@JustPlaneCrazy ah ok no reverse possible.....

Thanks for watching. Those things still amaze me.

It isn’t operational when taxiing. It’s only once g force is detected

It definitely is operational when taxiing , when the gear is down the gyro is on.. it works wonderfully but it has limited my control while on the ground .. that why I asked if it can somehow be placed on a switch to be turned off while taxiing?

Then I would try running the auto config again per instructions. I have no limitations on any of mine while steering on the ground

@@JustPlaneCrazy the gyro works perfectly as advertised, I just installed a new one in my Zeus . I was just asking IF IT CAN BE PLACED ON A SWITCH TO TURN ON OR OFF? Sorry for the caps but the question isn’t being answered l

No

I have had no issues. Good company. Sometimes shipping does take a bit

Interesting question. I would think you could set the heading spec to handle the same thing already?

@@JustPlaneCrazy sorry but ya lost me a bit. where would you set heading spec. im thinkin its just independent of your gyro and once airborne it basically doesnt do anything maybe. id love to know

True it’s independent and will work by itself. But doesn’t AS3X offer gain and heading lock. Which if you set the rudder heading lock percentage higher I think it does the same thing.

@@JustPlaneCrazy ill try to get more info. In the mean time if you find out the right way to make it work id appreciate a heads up. Happy flying

Not that I am aware of. Rc castle at times has free expedited shipping if you order 5. Then they come in about a week. Something like this I usually order 5 and I am not in a hurry.

I was very surprised by it’s ability

I wish everyone could be neutral open minded

I don’t disagree. I think some people just may never get there and this unit helps pre ent them from expensive damage. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always love discussion

This is a stand alone unit and just plugs into the steering so it effects nothing else. Depending on your current gyro you may already be able to achieve the same feature with heading lock

I appreciate that but I don’t worry about associate links. I do everything with no ads and links, free really. I send out my tshirt ad link from teespring. If people wish to support or through PayPal brendenmccormick@att.net it’s always appreciated but not needed. Like share and thank u for watching. teespring.com/stores/just-plane-crazy-3

@@JustPlaneCrazy I’m on it. It’s the least I can do for the really helpful videos I’m about to take advantage of. Thanks again taking the time putting the videos together.

On the Arrows T-28, I got everything working on the front end. Steering gyro is doing it's thing, front gear retracts, but I noticed when I was patting myself on the back, and saying, "I didn't need any help with this!" I noticed the rear gear servo leads aren't plugged in. Where do I plug in the rear left and right gear? What am I forgetting????

There has to be a y harness to another receiver channel

@@JustPlaneCrazy gotcha. (LemonRx. I’ll throw the rear gear on the bind port) I was thinking I’d try a “Tri-Harness” and tie all 3 retracts together, but I’d thought I’d check with you first. What’s the worst that could happen, the wheels don’t come down on approach and I crash into the retirement home at the end of the field, or petroleum storage tanks at the other end?

I am not sure of the voltage limits. You will have to check the site. Good question.

@@JustPlaneCrazy Did that before asking you but still no answer back from RC Castle...

Per the instructions SPECIFICATIONS 1. Operating voltage: DC 3.3 ~ 9.0V

@@JustPlaneCrazy thanks man, still no answer from RC Castle, good there are people like you :)

Don’t forget to share the channel. Ty

Not sure why people say that. It only works on takeoffs. I can’t see a device that helps people get a plane off the ground in a straight line taking the fun out of flying. I think crashing on a takeoff takes the fun out of flying. I understand not everyone needs one but some do

@@JustPlaneCrazy I didn't say it takes the fun out of flying, on the contrary it clearly makes it more fun & easy. Its just that, as a pilot, it takes the achievement out of taking off and flying using our skills alone. Its mans mastery of his machine that makes it all worthwhile:) It is certainly a benefit to some, but most can take off straight & everyone should strive for that, that's what piloting is. As a flight instructors & pilots, we don't necessarily like to do things because they are easy, but rather we do them because they are hard! :)

Have to agree with @rcinformer....i HATE how all this tech has crept into the hobby from Drones....so many pilots out there with AS3X and Gyro's with ZERO basic flying or handling skills. The way its going if you love this tech, just as well put a flight controller in and let it auto takeoff and auto land, then you dont have to even do that🤷‍♂️. The fun of flying is the challenge of it IMO....and all this tech removes the challenge and makes a 140mph EDF fly like a 10mph supercub-why do these "basic flying skills" matter you ask, well short answer is "when things go wrong unexpectedly YOU know how to save your plane. Look at SAFE as a good example, lots of guys have stalled and crashed, or crashed on landing due to SAFE not taking the throttle position into account. No substitute for experience guys-hate me all you like but you know its true!

@@JustPlaneCrazy 🙈🙈🙈"safe select" safe my EDF this weekend. Guys if the technology is out there, use it on demand. On that note, you wouldn't use your simulator, since the old timers didn't had one. For example my new air field is what a call a Narco runway 🙈🙈🙈🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ (short - Narrow and dirt) what a better way to help me have a good experience while a get the hang of the field Kudos for spreading the word on new tech that helps you be a better pilot and have more fun.

@@Johnn_T I agree 100000% "there is no substitute for expirience" I have been flying since the early 90's (Imagine my first ✈️✈️✈️plane was an eagle tow trainer with a super tiger engine) I couldn't have imagine how far along technology has come along . I still remember when mixing, expo, was a thing of sci-fi, proper flight Sims, telemetry FPV, etc. It's inevitable (you push your own limits and others self and others push the limits of technology) In my part of the world ( Panama) technology has helped to raise interest in the hobby on young kids, and not sacred them away by having the tools to avoid an early crash in their intro to the hobby.

That is the install video

You just WATCHED it

Do jets have PFactor.? Is everyone perfect? Some people can use a little help.

Just Plane Crazy Perfection comes from practice, and the more these models get automated the less people are able to gain basic flying skills. Several months ago I had an elevator servo fail just after takeoff I was about 80 feet in the air, if I had any form of stabilisation in the plane I would have totalled it,But because I have basic handling skills because I refuse to use stabilisation I was able to land the aircraft almost perfectly using nothing but the rudder and the throttle. These are the basic skills this technology is stealing from people-The ability to handle unexpected failures like that. I've had aircraft with flight controllers in , you don't even have to launch it because it has auto launch and autoland all I needed to do was connected to a laptop and plot the course before it took off.... what a boring hobby that is! I agree that this technology is good for getting people into the hobby but at the same time people should be encouraged to use it less as time progresses-Lots of guys out there have had crashes and blamed AS3X or similar, when in actual fact a lot of the problem is they have no basic skills because they depend on that very technology far too much. Even this device is redundant when you think about it-You can put the nose wheel on a separate channel to the rudder And trim it so that the plane tracks straight-Then slave the steering channel off the rudder channel. People are getting very lazy because of technology I'm sad to say
