RE: Woj had unfortunate test flight incident....see vid.
[quote]It just seems RCU has turned in to a place to just burn on people and this is a shame..[/quote] That’s pretty much the reason a lot of us have chosen (in some cases were banned) not to waste our time with this antisocial cesspool of many wana-be experts, pretentious OFs (and that’s with an “uck� on the end ), underhanded pot stirrers, and moderators who have not much more involvement in the hobby other than their moderation itself.We are playing with toys, and its supposed to be fun and recreational .... RCU seems to be running opposite of that mindset these days, ( moderators and many users included ) ..... My friend Alan told me about this thread over the phone on my way back form work today, and I have to say I find some of this quite funny … I’m not going to bother addressing any of the questions, concerns, comments, etc here on RCU, as these have been thoroughly discussed on another forum, where the topic ended up quite productive and informative (something no longer possible here on RCU ) … and many who actually KNOW what they are talking about were able to contribute … I definitely walked away having learned some good lessons .. I also have some info on my personal site on what happened .. I posted this video several weeks ago on my site, as well as the RC fr e e d o m forum , and I’m glad others here can see it now and also maybe learn some of the lessons I did, but hopefully without loss, damage, or even injury of their own. Now that I’m here for this one ( and last ) post on RCU, I actually have a question for Ben ( Ghost Rider . ) : So why is it that when I ( or others ) posted a video of someone else’s jet crashing (which I shot personally, with my own camera) , , Ghost_Rider numerous times removes the link, and deems it inappropriate to post a video of someone else’s plane crashing, and yet he comes here posting a link to one of mine going in ? I really don’t care where my video gets posted, but there is a clear sense of bias here, whereas a moderator supposedly is to be fair, objective, and impartial. I guess Ghost_Rider fits right in here on RCU … (To be fair, I do have to give credit to Ben for having had my back in the past, and I appreciate that, while positive actions deserver credit, crap is crap and needs to be called out as such at times …) If anyone wants to get a hold of me, reach me at : http://www.voy-tech.net Voy

here's what a failsafe lock-up looks like !!
Got 3 flights in yesterday at FBF in NYC on my 1st BobCat ( the one with the p120 in it ) it was a windy day, and the planes got kicked around a bit .. I had though here and there that the plane might have felt weird, or not reacted as expected for a slit second here and there ... i figured it was the wind catching me with a gust here and there ... well, what happened at the end of flight #2 was definitely an undisputable PCM lockup ... My set up on the aircraft was to have all surfaces "hold", and the retracts drop. The radio is a 10X JR, with the synth 10 ch rx. Watch the part of the clip just as the plane comes out of the loop .. i begin to initiate a left bank, and that moment i lose it .. the plane locks up, and continues to roll inverted .. you can see exactly where i regained radio signal as it flips back over hard right ( when it rolled to far, i was instinctively holding of the other way .. ) you can see as the plane is inverted that the retracts momentarily popped out !! 100% sign of a bad failsafe hit .... moments later i dropped the gear and flaps of my own initiative, and landed as soon as i could due to fearing further hits, interference , whatever .... " I attached my GSU up before turning of the batteries, and was shocked to see that "0" seconds and "0" instances of failsafe were recorded .. By my experience i have always known the JetCat ECU to pick up even a single dropped frame and record it as a failsafe hit ... , and where at other times I would have questioned if I had really been hit or not, it was definitely not the case this time ! any ideas on how come the ECU might not have recorded the failsafe condition ? that was one hairy of a split second !! http://www.voy-tech.net/BobCat/failsafe.wmv or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bEYFG1pLA8 Voy
