RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Hi Randy I used the nylon bolt idea for the front of the wing and also a rubber band between two screw in hooks one screwed into each wing root to hold the rear part of the wing to the fuselage This seems to work well good luck with your build Mike Ps If you havent started yet take care when peeling off the paper stuck to the model as the sticky tape pulled off some of the paint on mine

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Hi I have recently maidened my Predator. I put on a steerable nosewheel plus converted the fin to fin plus rudder. Not absolutely sure if you need both. Possibly if no nosewheel steering then extra rudder could be useful for straight takeoff runs My nosewheel servo is in the front as suggested on this site however then you cant put a camera in, so maybe servo below would be good idea I think you will find this thread is not so active now as it was last year as most suggestions have been aired Regards Mike

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Hi Chris i am working on the same problem although plane has not arrived yet. I am using DX 6i and AR6200 Spektrum 6 channel receiver and I have just tried the following setup which looks as if it will work ( all servos move to corresponding inputs) ailerons in normal channels ail and aux - ele and rudd to tail using V TAIL on "wing tail mix setting" on transmitter . MIX 1 aileron with rudder as slave to get suggested opposite rudder MIX 2 rudder to gear for nosewheel. I am intending to use separate rudder as well and so have put a "Y" lead on gear receiver socket and put nosewheel and rudder servos on it. This seems to works fine however what appears to happen is when using ailerons the wing tail rudders kick in as programmed but the main rudder servo doesnt . I am also going to try out DIFFERENTIAL setting so down aileron doesnt go down as much as the up aileron goes up to prevent adverse yaw which happens on full size sailplanes and long winged sailplane models. Hope this helps- It will be much easier to see when servos are in and attached to surfaces. but if there any glaring errors please point out thanks Mike

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Hi I have a Predator on order and will be using a spektrum tx and receiver. Due to long wings am considering using the differential feature for aileron movement which I have used on long winged sailplanes previously. any bodt with experience of this?? Thanks mike

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
I have got a Predator on order it will take about six weeks to arrive . Have bought in advance a flycamone2 camera for it in advance to get familiar with it how big a hole do you suggest cutting in the fuselage for it to see down and forwards Any help appreciated Mike

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Thanks for your reply I have contacted Chris but as you know he's in South Africa. Since he's less than two hours away i hope we might meet one day up and he could give me some tips I sent you an email but should have put the question here in case others want the same info. In one of your pictures you show the blue esc outside the fuselage is this to keep it cool.? i was wondering if it could go up the front and have longer wires connection to the lipo would appreciate your advice mike
