RE: Holy Spektrum FAIL?!
Repaired Plane ''B'' DX8 and receiver ''2'' (lost radio contact and crashed) Ok what was the minimum flight pack voltage on the telemetry in this crash? This will help you diagnose the problem. Also switches that SEEM to work is just guessing. Just because switches turn on doesnt mean they allow enough current to flow to keep everything happy. Sounds again like a power setup issue. I fly nothing but spektrum in all my planes (over 20 total from parks fliers to 33%) and never had an issue. I also have some futabas that i still use. I know you are pissed but you need to examine your install so this doesnt happen again. Look for binding servos bad extensions etc.Also are where are you flying? Good luck and i hope you find your issue.

If it was mine id suspect the throttle servo and replace it. Usually a radio doesn't malfunction like that.It can but its not common.

RE: Texas R/C Planes Drastick .60 Size
It is the 120 and i added the pull pull because those tubes were installed in such a way that they would never work to move the control surfaces. I think if you put your control horns on the top you could get the geometry a little better. I now know i would never buy another plane sold from them. They are made by cy models and have to many build issues. Its a good beat around model but there are better options. I hope you get yours whipped into shape.Ill be glad to help anyway i can.

RE: Texas R/C Planes Drastick .60 Size
[quote]ORIGINAL: SpinnerRow I had tried some 4-40 rods but they were too stiff and the curve of the tubes was too much inside the fuselage. The HS-5625 wasn't centering right and buzzing constantly. If I pushed down elevator, it would stay slightly down. If pull up, it stayed slightly up when I let go of the stick. So I straightened the stock pushrods out and put some carbon fiber tubing over them which made them much stiffer. Man, I hate pushrods! [/quote] Spinner does your book show those tubes with push rods in them? Mine looked like they were for routing an antenna . here is my pushrods install .

At least you have a chance you may get a replacement part. For years there was no such thing.We would scavenge parts from previous builds. Hobbyists are spoiled now.

RE: would like help on seetting up elec large plane
I see thats designed for a 25cc gas engine. I had a greatplanes giant super sportster that i flew with a zenoah g26.i later converted it to electric .A power 160 with a 20 x 10 apc electric prop on 8s with a castle ice 100. The performance was much better than when it was gas. I could easily get 2 10 minute flights out of the batteries .I flew mostly half throttle and under.It would loop at 3/4 throttle with no dive before hand.Do you have a power system already?
