I reckon it is the switch, when I was first testing it wouldn’t work & I bypassed the switch and all was OK.
I lubricated the switch and it seemed to work OK, if its still playing up I would just bypass it & plug the Rx battery straight into the receiver. THe battery indicator will still work as that was connected straight to the Rx anyway.
As for the Wild Wing, just something to keep me amused during these rainy days. Motor mount completed, just need to make a backing plate for the other side of the wing then it cam all be put together & tuned up.
Still plodding along, edge protection tape installed & also got the elevons covered & fitted along with the control arms.
Centred position
Hard Right
Hard Left
Now to fit the motor.
I’ll be installing the same size “Bell” motor (2408-21T 1750KV?) as fitted to Kermit’s Wild Wing along with a 30A Esc & 8 x 3.8 Prop so the performance should be similar.
Another less than nice day outside so another perfect opportunity to do some more building on the Wild Wing.
Servos installed, tested & centred and the top of the wing now covered in packing tape as per the bottom.
Now the fiddley job of the edge protection tape & then the elevons need covering & installing.
Yes, that is what happens when the “Air Brakes” fail, or you bounce on landing !!
Another fine video Mr Kermit but we need to check your camera settings as your 4K videos are no where near the quality they should be. Like you stated your 1080 versions were turning out better.
Great content none the less.
Not too bad for your first attempt at 4K video. I reckon there is a wrong setting in your editor somewhere as you shouldn’t get that blocky background on clear sky etc.
Great content none the less, thank Mr Frog.
A bit late but this is my contribution from a cold & miserable day @ the canal.
Fixed
G’day Bodge, just checked your calendar entry. Are you sure you mean what you wrote, I would have thought it would be Reg numbers less than 1100 not more than.
Thanks Chris, interesting video.
As usual, the Frog’s camera managed to capture all the action (and misadventures) @ the field today.
Well done Mr Kermit.
No Ron, that was my original RunCam2, not the new 4K version. Recorded @ 1080P at 50fps and edited & published at the same resolution. The higher framerate smoothes out the video a lot but the image is still not as sharp as the new 4K RunCam. Just thought the old camera needed a run for a change.
Looking pretty spiffy !!
The repaired fuselage is completed & painted (even remembered the exhausts this time Gerald !!) and the electronics installed & tested.
Now all I need to do is print the new wing.
Yes Gadget, apart from the time printing the new bits the repairs are fairly easy to carry out, probably easier than foam or balsa.
