RE: [RCSE] Hitec 555 - was HLG and the Feather

2000-02-10 Thread Thompson, Curt
I bought a Hitec 555 in December, hooked it up and did a rough receiver check. It seemed to work okay. Well, I put it in a foamy I was building (EPP Red Herring). I routed a piece of wire within the foam just as long as I could for the antenna. Snipped off the original antenna and soldered on

I agree. It was good 30 years ago (still have planes covered 30 years ago). If find a film that is as good AND IS LESS EXPENSIVE, let us all know. Regis -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2000 8:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED];

Why worry about range with the Feather? Seems everybody agrees that the range is sort of 500-700 ft. I have an FMA Fortress micro FM, 8 channels, mine is on ch45. Weighs only 0.6 oz ( so maybe 9 gm more than the feather...will that matter in practical terms?), and has been glitch and worry

So, it is alright to have the ailerons reflex a little when I input down elevator? How much flapperon mix is appropriate for good turns, loops, etc? I think I have it set to 20% mix into the elevator. Thanks for the help. Greg Jeff Reid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am setting up my brand

A little reflex with down elevator is a good thing. The amount depends on the plane and setup. My DAW Foam-51 was quite responsive to camber/reflex. With just a *hint* of camber the inverted performance was uninspiring. But, with just a little reflex it came alive during inverted flight!
