I decided to buy an old GWS F15 twin 64mm kit and used parts I had lying around to complete the model. It is an old model that requires you to glue the fuselage together so you better have everything working correctly before you glue. The kit is only $99 but again it is old technology and probably older than 10 years now. Here's the link: www.alofthobbies.com/products/gws-f15-with-64mm-edfs

    Great video, not long and very understandable, Thanks for taking the time. After more than thirty years of helicopters I wanted to try some planes and recently I bought a Viper radio NX8+ and AR 10360T receiver that I configured following your advice. The SAFE works very well, the AS3X movements are imperceptible on the model. Do you have any advice to increase them? In the Gyro setting screen there is a modifiable "Gyro system". As usual I found nothing: do you know anything about it? Greetings from Italy.

    • @Zek1701
      @Zek1701 12 днів тому

      You can play with the AS3X gyros gains if you want. I usually find the default works well. I've only ever reduce the roll om some jets. There is the NX8 has a knob you can tie to the gain in fwd programming and adjust the gain in flight. I've never done this. You mentioned the AS3X is imperceptible. Have you tried turning off SAFE and AS3X see how it flies then turn on AS3X and see if there is a difference?

    • @Zek1701
      @Zek1701 Місяць тому

      When testing it's hard to tell the difference between AS3X and SAFE as the control surface behave the same. The key difference is AS3X only gets enabled when the throttle has been above 20%. Usually people have trouble with AS3X not SAFE due to the throttle. If SAFE is truly not working I'm unsure what the issue is. You might look at the channel values when you flip the switch to see that different values are sent to the receiver.

    I think the throttle to pitch would work great on a foam aircraft I have that the faster it goes it begins to climb and I always have to add down elevator. My theory is the wings are bow some at high speeds causing more lift. I would like to have some down elevator added as throttle is applied, it may help this aircraft fly better. Thanks for your video. It's helping me a lot.

    • @Zek1701
      @Zek1701 5 місяців тому

      I hated that throttle-to-pitch mix because on my first trainer plane they had that in the receiver. As I beginner I would takeoff at max speed then it was all I could do to get the plane to turn 180 degrees. By the time I finished the turn the plane was so I high I was starting to lose orientation. To this day I still don't like the idea. If you want to go up pull back on the stick...period!

      The F14 is a complex aircraft with elevons, wing sweep, etc. However, it is doable. I have the 80, 50, 40 versions and love em. I am very confident with the right receiver and the plane configured properly, it will be a great flying plane and will be one of my favs due to its size and awesomeness. Don't let my experience dampen your experience with this awesome plane. I've ordered all the parts to repair it and there will be a redemption flight as soon as the nose cone is in stock!

    I saw one of these crash at my club with the same crazy up and down before the crash. I think this may be the result of the elevators plugged into the contorl box/gyro in the wrong location. See the Motion RC video where they specifically talk about this situation and how to check to see if the gyro is moving the elevator in the correct direction when you point the nose up or down. A simple swap of the two elevator plugs solves the problem.

    Ouch ! Sorry to see this crash. You mentioned "cheaper receiver" in your video. Did you have a successful range check? I don't know what you really have - but some time ago I bought a receiver on line that looked just like Spektrum. Later, I found that some of these were listed as using 'after market parts' or something to that effect. Well, what I had was a cheap copy of a Spektrum product - and I did range check it before putting it in a plane. My results were that it would only range check out to about half the distance that my good spektrum receivers had. So - I have never trusted this receiver enough to fly it.

    Sorry to see you have a drastically bad maiden. You are not the only one to experience this as nearly everyone eventually encounters this situation if you are in the hobby long enough. It is part of the build, setup, crash, repair (if possible) and repeat process of flying RC anything. Props to you for not being afraid of sharing your failure to us all. I have destroyed many aircraft over the years due to just about every reason you can think of. ESC failure, radio failure, of course pilot error and improper setup which I suppose is a part of pilot error, but all end in a bad way for the most part. Keep on flying and know there will be plenty of great days with your stable of airplanes this Spring and Sunmer to come!
