Hee hee... Well you are right about the working on the plane stuff John, =
I
have just finished a Fancy Foam Pitts 12 and for mounting the motor it =
is
ready to try out! ;)
As for the configuration instructions, what they are describing is the
settings for programming your radio to help you perform some of the =
magical
stuff that we all aspire to do. For example, just like you dial in Expo =
for
more sensitive control for the stick from the center outward, you also =
make
flapperon, elevon, etc., settings for each of the servo's that are =
involved
to get the desired effect. I am not sure from radio to radio how this =
is
accomplished, but in many cases once you have made a setting for say =
aileron
channel 1 and 6 for say 30 degrees, and then the elevator channel 2 for =
8
degrees, then at a paticular time when you push the sticks for each of
these, or spin a dial, or throw a switch, those settings take place =
putting
the plane in that orientation for the effect. I am going to have to =
learn
how to do the same thing on my Hitec, but I have already noticed in the
programming modes that under flapperon mode, I have the ability to set =
the
forward and minus values for each servo for various modes. I know this
isn't terribly clear, but that is about the extent of my knowledge on it
until I have made all these settigs on my radio for the Pitts. I'll try =
to
let you know more as I discover more.
I also have an Edge 540 and Cap 232 in the hangar ready for build up. =
Gonna
give the Pitts the go first though! ;-)
Hope we can get a nice day maybe Wednesday or Thursday but as for the =
BBQ
this Saturday, I don't think I can do it. I might be able to fly some
Saturday afternoon for sure, but I have to do some things here at the =
house
most of the morning and early PM Saturday so I will have to forgo the =
BBQ
but the rest of you should go ahead with it if others are onboard with =
that.
Let's hope for some fly time this week and weekend at least.

Subject: [lektrik_flyers] Question of the day.
Hi Guys,
I hope the farmers are happy, but I am sure sick of the rain. My flying =
thumbs are itchy.
I guess we are going to try again for the BBQ on Saturday.
Question of the day. I guess everybody has been spending their time on=20
planes getting them ready to fly. I was working on a Fancy Foam Edge=20
3D. They have some Radio Mixer instructions I am not familiar with. =
They=20
say to set up your Futaba radio with the following:
Mixes: Flaperson/spoilerons mixed 50% with elevator. Mix 8 to 10% up=20
elevator with rudder to help knife edge.
Not sure what they are asking me to do. I am not using a Futuba radio =
to=20
start with. The plane does not have spoilers. I am not sure what a=20
Flaperon is.
Hey David. I have to go to Little Rock on Wednesday. Can I arrange to=20
meet you somewhere to pick up those planes?
Thanks,
John Gray
