    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Joe, your antennas should be 90* to each other, no? :oblong:

    We had an awesome day yesterday! 85 and sunny. 8 flights this weekend :cool:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Not at all, even running it for the longest periods of time (completely filling or draining the tank). I'm going to tinker with it for a little bit to see if I can't come up with an improvement to its current design.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Was a nice 85*F today. Got 4 more flights in on the Yak, 8 total this weekend. Looks like my Secraft pump developed a bit of a leak without my knowing and caused the insulation on the input wires to peel off. Little did I know that they twisted together until it shorted out on me after I was...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Gorgeous warm day of flying today. Forgot the wing bolts for the Rockstar :eek: so I couldn't fly it, but there was plenty of down on the deck shenanigans with the 107" Yak :cool:

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

    Put the servo back in the Multiplex Rockstar I pulled out the other day, good as new. And finally got the Multiplex Wingstabi all setup and dialed in, ready for a test run tomorrow. All batteries charged, just need to load up and roll out!!!

    Your rig with trailer probably gets better MPG than my Jeep does just by itself. I'm almost afraid to tow with it... :bull:

    This is a Wingstabi from Multiplex, it's something we are looking at adding for larger airplanes.

    It friggin ROCKS!! It's so much fun, but I think the CG is still off a bit. Will have to play with it a bit more this weekend to get it dialed in. This one we have a new motor we have been testing out that is a ballistic missile on 4S. The ailerons may look small and it doesn't seem like there's...

    What is the max number of channels generally needed for giant scale?

    9 channels seems to be sufficient for most any giant scale airplane up to 40% if you want a dedicated channel for every servo. Technically, you could get away with using a simple 5 channel radio and a servo matching system, but you'd be limited with the functions you can use. There's guys in...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    That is something I have considered doing. It's a more reliable engine kill I suppose.

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

    Did a little surgery on the Multiplex Rockstar tonight, elevator servo was acting a little funny. I think I biffed it when the wind caught it on landing on Sunday, going to get it checked out tomorrow.

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    Me personally, I don't use them. I have seen every single electronic killswitch fail out there, from the cheapies all the way up to the high end 'fail-on' style switches, and they always seem to fail right at the worst possible instance. It's almost a catch 22 though. Risk losing control over...

    Crankshaft: Pinwheel: A poptop, but on its side. The Snake: Funnel: A cross between a harrier and a flatspin, either upright or inverted. Use throttle to climb or maintain altitude.

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    In this instance..... My servo was at full throttle as I was climbing up through a rolling loop :eek::eek::eek::eek: Somehow, I was able to reestablish power to the receiver just long enough to get the airplane on approach and kill the engine, as soon as I touched down I saw the other half of...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    I have the left side of the airplane on the left receiver, and the right side of the airplane on the right receiver. Since I run dual rudder servos in a tray, I run one rudder servo on each receiver, so I can at least maintain some level of control in the event one receiver loses link or shuts...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    Yeah I'm kind of stumped as to what the issue could be with those servos. I'm still kind of going back and forth with him on that. I would like to update this, I am now running a pair of Maxima 9 receivers, one for each side of the airplane.
