    Painted up the Multiplex Mentor in a high-viz scheme for my girlfriend, and finally got the SAFE rx dialed in. Looks fantastic in the air!! Also got the maiden in on my Pulse. Flies fantastic, can't wait to get more stick time in on it. Discovered I had a lower KV motor than I...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Found this little organizer on Amazon for 50 bucks, thought it would help me clear out the cluttered workbench I've got going on. Well, I managed to get it this full as quickly as I was able to build it (it builds fast), and my workbench is no cleaner than when I started... :gnashing: I may...

    Essentially, the Aura8 handles all functions of the airplane, it only needs the most basic of input signals to tell the servos what to do. That's how most of these higher end gyros are regardless of brand. They only need to see 4 or 5 channel inputs from the transmitter.

    They are likely referring to subtrim. As far as in flight trims, it probably has a method you are supposed to do in order for it to recognize the trims next time around.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Problem is, this particular receiver came out of a different airplane and had an odd trim angle set into it of -16º. Since this was not an off the shelf receiver, the trim angle was not adjustable through the programmer. I had to spend a few hours inside of a text editor in order to modify the...

    Been messing with the Multiplex Mentor a lot lately. My girlfriend is wanting to fly bigger airplanes now and the Mentor is a perfect step up from her UMX Timber. So I put a SAFE receiver in the Mentor :oblong: Backdoor programming of the AR636A receiver has been a fun learning experience and I...

    This is the servo I use on ALL of my gas engines. Plenty of resolution, and coreless for precise movements: https://www.servocity.com/hs-5565mh-servo A cheaper alternative is the D-625MW, though you will lose some form of accuracy since the motor is an iron core motor...

    WHEW! What a crazy past 2 weeks it's been. We moved our ENTIRE Hitec warehouse to a smaller facility (our old warehouse was too big for us for a long time) and it's just been chaotic getting stuff setup again. We finally have phone and data up and going again today :) I'm sure as soon as our...

    Weight is the simple reason. It already flies on the heavy side with a 4s 2200.

    Ho ho HOLY ship batman!! :eek: She SCREAMS on 4S!!!! I'm still only managing 5 minutes of flight time, but now there's nearly 2x the power on 4s 2200's. The extra weight didn't seem to bother it either. At least I have 2 options now- run a larger prop and a 2700mah 3S pack for flight times...
