It sounds fabulous when it overpowers the whine of the electric motor.👍Tutorial please Dom/James with that same ‘Sense’ sound module and advice with balance and c of g….ASAP😉🙏🏻

Will do Derrick. We've got 2 more on the way. I'll be using one and next time out we'll share more info on setup. James def didn't check his CG. It was tail heavy!

Absolutely a big yes! Sounds great. Game changer.

Absolutely!

I have these installed most all my foamy props. The key for max sound output is to mount on the most flexible part of the airframe... Thin (3/8-1-2")/tall/wide walls allow the tranducer to vibrate the foam easier. All of these together= best install but any single one will help a lot. Mounting over carbon stiffeners will reduce output. In my flrc 1.6m Spit, I mounted 2 txducers just behind the lipo hatch. It's not optimal but still sounds good. My fms 1.7m P-51 with tall/wide walls right behind the canopy is optimal. The cavernus space enhances sound even more. The worst for sound output was in my 1.6m flrc p-38, which was not really worth the effort. Fms 1.5 P-47, due to it's elongated fuse sides was another great result. My fms 1.7 Corsair, with 4 txducers, sounds like a beast. 1 in cowl, 1 in aft fuse, 2 on sides. It uses RCSounds module though. I use Mr rc sounds transducers, chucking the light weight ones that come with ESS Sense hobby modules. I glue the wires to the 'ducer frame so the solder joints don't vibrate loose. They have been reliable. Also , have pairs in my fw 1.4m Mossi and fms 1.4m bf109, mounted along side of and infront of lipo, respectively.

Hi Barron, what glue do you use to attach the transducers? Foam safe CA?

Sounds a good idea too me, and does sound like the real thing.

From my experiences you'd need a 15" subwoofer to reproduce what I FEEL when a warbird flies close by or does a start-up. 🙂

I got one of these sound modules. It has radial engine and Merlin sounds also cannon/gun sounds. I have tested it and sounds pretty good and will fit into an avios spitfire i purchased a few months ago👍

Nice James. Although with the speaker there I'd say it's given you a slightly rear ward C of G. Looked a bit sensitive on the elevator. I wonder if you use the bigger surface area of the wing as a speaker instead to allow you to get your battery more forward. Larger surface area for the speaker would mean louder sound too. Just all depends if there's room on top of the wing inside the fuselage and depends if the thickness of the wing at that point would dull the sound affect. I know space is at a bit of a premium in this model and not easy to get the wing on and off as it is with all the wires. But just a thought

Put it in the in the top of the wing would give it more sound. The only drawback, flying time will be less. That's what I had with the GT power system.

Been using the aspire system for awhile in my spit and never really got to the point where I was happy with it. Transducers get hot, sound drops off, can’t really hear it at full throttle. If I didn’t mount them in fuse behind wing I would have taken it out. I think it’s more headaches than worth it.

i have the RC Aspire in my spitfire and the sound is very realistic

I think it sounds great. With the the accurate sound you really can’t tell much difference between a little airplanes in the big ones

I do like the sound card, I always have had issues with 3 of them. Maybe it was a batch or something. Great flight, thought the Spit had more damage on the landing. Lucky I guess 👍🏻

Thats pretty cool! sounds pretty good in the air!

That's a really nice sounding plane especially given the anemic sound of electrics.

Veeeeery GOOD !!!

Sounds great,gonna build mine in it aswell!..Thanks for sharing!

Sounds great

You have a few different types of simulated sound systems. Can you still use gyros or does the vibration from the sound throw them off? My an RC Simulated Sound System Showdown is in order for a video ?

it just sounds amazing. Very good video and work keep it up

Hmmm. It's OK. It's not especially loud but placement of the inducers is very important. We found best place is on the insides of the fuselage at the front ensuring the battery can still fit in.

Indeed! Just received 2 more units yesterday to put in Jason's and my Flightline Spitfires. A video of that soon !

It needs that high-speed whine when spitfires are in a dive

It needs the supersonic blade tip sound at full throttle.

Good idea....

Which Spitfire''s brand is it ?

@EssentialRC

Flightline from Motion RC

Well polystyrene foam doesn't resonate, in fact it's normally used as a sound deadening medium, so you're never going to get a good sound output from transducers - needs speakers and a perforated fuselage - nice vid shame about the tip stall on landing.

Next it’s gonna be an rc huey playing Fortunate son

Sounds good. Needs more elevator expo.

CG issue we think actually. Will check and resolve before all 3 of us go up with our own sound systems !

Not bad, but far away from a real merlin sound, it doesn't seem equalized enough yet.

The module sounds good but I think it would be wise to be aware of any neighbours in the vicinity of the flying field. Too many rc flying sites have been lost because of noise issues.

@EssentialRC

Never going to be louder than the 2 and 4 strokes we have operating at the flying field. Fairly sure we're safe on that one.

Still an electric high speed whine unfortunately. 6/10
