White with red stripes with White and red strips on bottoms.  It's the 
version with trilerons, and only flown a few times. 3421s for the flaps 
and 94761s for the ailerons and ruddervators. Since the plane is a 
competitive current model, I'd like to get close to what I paid for it.

Re: [RCSE] BAD VENDOR REPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-09-20 Thread RCSoaring


It's clear that the batteries, and or charger aren't doing what they should for the customer, and the vendor never spent time to troubleshoot the situation. There have been other posts from unhappy customers concerning Batteries America. If you're continuing to have a good business relationship with the company, keep doing business with 'em =)

I believe the reason for the original post was to serve as a warning, and to garner support from fellow modelers.

I've also had several very bad experiences with those people. Most recently, I called about a batch of batteries that weren't peaking to spec. I wasn't asking to send them back, I only called to let him know that he might want to check his stock. He replied with something very rude and hung up on me. If you're particular about batteries, I'd stay away from that place.

Re: [RCSE] 9303

2004-10-26 Thread RCSoaring


The following solution was used for my Stratus SL with an electric fuse. Before I cover the actual programming, it's worth going over my basic set up (I'll leave out all the real detail stuff). The Radio is configured so that left three position switch is used for the following:

FORWARD = speed mode
Small amount of reflex, less throw, less differential, more snap flap

CENTER = cruise
No reflex, more throw, more differential, a little less snap flap

BACK = Thermal
More differential, just a bit of snap flap



Gear switch (I physically had to turn it upside down so that down could represent landing settings)

DOWN = landing mode
Using Mix one, the first 60% of the spoiler stick pulls the flaps down. The last 40% actuates spoilers up. The elevator compensates with the second mix on a multipoint curve. I also mix in rudder just for landing (There are nasty rotors where I land often land, and it gives me a little less to think about)

UP = full-span camber


Elevator dual rate

DOWN = off with brake
UP = 100% full throttle

JR. states that you can assign the MOOT function to a number of different places. This is not true. In fact, all the channel functions are stuck on the channels they are assigned to. They cannot be changed. They can, however, be mixed.The stock assignment for AX 2 (channel 7) is the spoiler stick. This means that no matter where you assign the MOOT function in the devices menu, the motor will be effected by the spoiler stick. for a 6 servo plane, this isn't workable.

You will need an 8 channel receiver, and the speed controller should be on channel 8 (AX 3). Connect the receiver battery to channel 7 using a separate lead. A "Y" connector for the receiver pack and the speed controller works with many speed controllers, but not on some... (for example, not on mine). 

Go to the DeviceSEL menu, andleave AUX3 set to the AUX3 LEV, and set it to INH. this means you can effect the motor trim by moving the right slider.

Set MOTO to ELEV D/R with the OUT set to ACT.

Go to one of the PROG. mixes, and set it for MOTO-AUX3.

Set CRU, SPD, and THM modes to POS1. the rest are set to POS0. This enables the elevator switch to actuate the motor in those modes in the up position.


Here's where your mileage may vary:
for Pos1 start by setting the top and bottom to +125%. This gives you full on, and full off with the switch. The Offset, will change the center position. By adjusting those three numbers, you can program the end points for the speed controller. Each speed controller is programmed a different way, so the specifics for programming those end points will vary. I had to set my Offset to +90 to get the amount of brake I needed.

[RCSE] 9303 with an electric

2004-10-16 Thread RCSoaring


Recently I askedif anyone had a chance to actuatean electric motor using a switch with the XP9303. I asked if anyone has done it, not if someone had read the manual. For those of you that read the manual, as I have, you might hane been under the impression that there was a way to assign the MOTO function to a switch.

If anyone has actuallyset upthe 9303 with an electric 6-servo plane, I'd like to know what solution you came up with. I have one already, but there may be a more elegant solution that I am not aware of.

[RCSE] DS368 Servo Question

I have had 3 JR DS368s fail in flight. 2 were actuating ailerons, and one was controlling a rudder. In every case, the servos were in an F3F style plane that was never on radar past 120. I am wondering if anyone else has had problems with this servo.

If you need information from someone that is focused on doing the right thing for his customer, F3X.com would probably be a good bet.
