...Cap'n Jack. He sorted out how to get the Combi Switch for my rudder coupling kickin' in as I pull flaps. I've set it so it comes in at about 25-30% flap movement. Now I just need to put my "landing" flight mode on the same stick, and sort out how to program a delay on the elevator, but only as

I have had experience with the JR 610 reciever not liking 5 cell. It will glitch on a fully charged pack. This showed up on a 1/6 scale extra that I had. I switched back to 4 cells. I saw a guy with a BIG DC-3 fight a glitch problem for 30 min. I suggested to him that it might be his 5 cell pack.

Not really IMHO...I say that because when you up the voltage by going to a 5-cell pack you do the following: 1) Over-stress the equipment when using a freshly charged pack. A 5-cell pack, freshly charged, puts out almost 7 volts. 2) Increase the current draw of the equipment resulting in less flyi

The adjustable towhook is a complex piece of equipment. Don't attempt this without adult supervision. I was disappointed that I could make a towhook without having to use my milling machine. See http://www.eclipse.net/~mikel/towhook/towhook.html RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane Ne

Matt, It is very easy to make the stock Organic hook adjustable. Where you currently have holes drilled for the machine screws just make a slot in the bottom of the fuse. The inner piece of the tow hook is wide enough to carry the loads as is the fuselage bottom. I have been using this method

Simple. Extend the hole aft and slide the hook back. Loosen one screw and remove the other. Extend one hole and replace the removed screw. Reverse the process for the other screw. -Ben Matt Fair wrote: > > I have an organic with the same tow hook and it isnt > very adjustable, but it is s

I have an organic with the same tow hook and it isnt very adjustable, but it is strong and light. If someone has it rigged as adjustable, I would certainly like to see it or read how they did it... Would be nice to have an adjustable towhook on my organic. Matt Message: 1 Date: Sat, 26 Jan
