After a lot of pushing & shoving (and a bit of 3D design & printing) I have managed to get the iNav F411-WSE flight controller into the Excalibur. It all appears to be working fine and by the way Gerald, I figured out how to change the radio display from knots to KPH, it was as easy as changing the default in the telemetery page of the radio. What ever units are set there for any of the displays are what comes up in the LuaScript display.
Hopefully the weather will be kind on Saturday and I will get to maiden her.
The Excalibur turned up today, 6 days from order was not to bad considering it was road freight due to the LiPo battery.
It was well packed and arrived undamaged so that is a good start.
Anyway, the build was very straight forward with 4 capscrews to secure the plug in wings & 7 self tappers to secure the tail being virtually all that was required to assemble.
Fitted & adjusted the linkages & balanced the 13 x 8 prop and she is ready to install the iNav auto pilot (but there’s not much room inside)
Geeze Mr Frog, have you been smoking the woopy weed again, firstly there was no music in either of my videos & I couldn’t see anything that could be construed as dancing (dirty or otherwise)
Thanks Mr Moose, the original Excalibur was good but everyone reckoned it was a Warmliner rather than a Hotliner. Don’t think the Hotliner moniker will be a problem with the V2
Thanks Chris, I finally got around to watching your video. Great to see footage from other parts of the world.
What is the net line running parallel with the beach? Shark line or something?Another nice video Mr Frog, it’s nice to catch up with what else is happening around the field when you are airborne & concentrating on your own plane.
Dave, the FCC version is the one you want, this is the “International” version . The LBT version is for EU contries only (a different standard).
Unfortunately you cant use the R161 as suggested by Gerald unless you get a different (more updated) flight stabiliser.
The R161 is SBus connected & the FY-41AP stabiliser does not support an SBus connection.
The RadioMaster R168 receivers are out of stock (again) at HK.
They are available here

Here is my video from the other end of the canal today.
Yes there were only 4 of us in attendance but we still had a nice sail on a very pleasant morning.
No we didn’t have a BBQ lunch today as 2 of the 4 needed to leave early & anyway it appeared that both the BBQ’s were in use.
