    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    Your probably right Steve....but as I am confident in timers and check my bats before and after each flight - I am on top of issues that may crop up...but like you say...if I had telemetry I possibly would never be without it.... There are some after market kit which will give me telemetry and...

    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    I have a Futaba 8J it was a tough decision between going the DX8 or stumping up extra money for the 8FG.... I decided that I have no use for telemetry and although would be a nice to have was not a deciding factor in choosing a radio. What it boiled down to was simply flying FHSS was...

    I Need To Vent

    Know how and can do is something that the west needs to put more focus on in the future... We can no longer compete with the vast cheap eastern labour force - so our manufacturing and processing will inevitably disappear over seas... What we are - are innovative, ingenious and free...

    Discussion aileron differential??

    No I agreed with what Joe said and his method...then went on to say how I did it ..and there are other ways to do the same thing...I should have made that a bit more clear....but was agreeing on what Joe said...even though I use a different method...his method makes more sense and better than my...

    Discussion aileron differential??

    What Joe said... If you fly over 2/3rds throttle straight and level and roll the plane..make sure you only are adding Aileron and the sticks aren't adding anything else...as it's easy to add some ele without noticing...you will see the plane not do a tight roll and yaw as described... I...

    Knife Edge tips.

    robj When I am in sport setup...as per EF manual - I have very little expo...and have setup without when I have had less throw on a plane...however once you start pushing that throw up...it's such a pig to keep flying...however not impossible...I think Daniel Holman has next to nothing...

    Knife Edge tips.

    Groan.... I am not saying don't use a mix....if you have achieved a level of competence and confidence in your abilities... And the argument of using a mix is the same as trim...is a little suspect?? as you need trim to fly a plane straight and level...and this has been done on radio's of old...

    Knife Edge tips.

    JPF if you read my earlier post I was not arguing a case for not using mixes - I was merely pointing out that learn to fly KE and that goes for all aspects of normal RC flight and learn how to use stick inputs...and corrective inputing to improve and gain RC skills....which you won't gain if...

    Knife Edge tips.

    Perhaps learn not to get into a dangerous car perhaps.....??? Or don't fly something you are not skilled to fly ;) There is absolutely no merit in cheating if you do not have the skills to do something before hand it won't make you an accomplished pilot - it merely means you are spending more...

    Knife Edge tips.

    I personally and just my humble opinion think people should not KE mix until they are proficient in flying knife edge each direction and correct and compensate to keep it locked in....I think this will aide your skills and prove your finger / eye coordination as you constantly adjust the correct...

    Well tonights football was about as lame as it gets.... England just aren't good enough...there will be the usual ' the pitch was rubbish ' the fact they couldn't play last night due to the waterlogged pitch was rubbish...the fact it was under a closed roof was rubbish...the referee was...
