At 64yrs old, I'm a bit late to the game but better late than never right? Upright elevators and harriers feel almost relaxing now, but inverted harriers, and especially rolling harriers are spooky. I'm working on the sim, trying to translate from sim to the real world, and can see that there is a corrolation between stick time and progress. I find your videos very informative and down right encouraging. Please keep them coming! I live in northwest Georgia, a little over an hour away from your favorite northwest Georgia field. Hopefully I'll bump into you one day.

Hi Don, I know you've been busy, but I have a puzzle about this. I'm using an NX-8, AR-620, Castle Creations talon 90 and XPWR -22 on an Ultimate biplane glow to electric conversion. (Video coming) I powered the ESC early in the build to center servos and set the throws etc. Now that the motor has been added, I thought I did the calibration correctly. Throttle up when connecting battery. The ESC connects. Throttle down and the motor "arms". Seems to work fine. Check throttle cut. Everything is good to this point. Turn throttle cut off, and the motor suddenly starts (at about an idle) but I have a dozen planes and none have ever done this. As I adjust the throttle trim down to about minus 60 the motor slows to a stop. But this is the first time I have had to trim my throttle down. Kind of dangerous since I thought the plane had been safety tested and then... "Hey! Why did the motor start?" Any ideas? Thank you. Edit: Problem diagnosed: Throttle cut on other planes recommended -130% I checked it against my U Can Do with the exact same power system and throttle cut was set to only -100% So I adjusted throttle cut to -100% and works properly now. Interestingly, as I adjust the throttle trim up, the motor begins to spin at about 58-60. So I surmise the ESC was getting sent a "new low" by the throttle cut and adjusting accordingly.

I'm way late to this but just in case you happen to see this... You don't have it on a switch but what about general flight? Example: blending rudder into turns to make flat turns maybe when going slow to avoid a tip stall.... ot seems like the mix would add positive or negative elevator? Or is it a negligible amount? Thank you in advance!
@RC-Air2 ай бұрын
So yes it’s always on for all forms of flight. The amount of correction is small and when you’re only adding a small amount of rudder it only adds enough to correct. Think gyro before gyro.
