Wonderful that was a great video Tim. I don't have the radio link however I do have a smaller model acrobatic that has the same type of equipment and structural supports and I found those set screws tightening and extending for the actual surfaces on those servos I found them both frayed up and broken so I have to come up with your idea it's quite unfortunate considering the radio link is fairly higher-priced and it's using that type of component. Now I'm thinking the weight is everything however I'm pretty sure they could have came out with a far more Superior product for that type of component in that RC plane.
I have this plane and it is really fun and I think a good value for the money. I however had to download the controller software that allows you to adjust the Expo (add a good amount) and reduce the aileron throws (down to 60%) to make the plane controllable and much better to fly. I also found that it really helped to just remove the landing gear as most any kind of landing would torque back the gear area and bend the foam back at the wing joiner.
The carbon fiber control rods work well as long as you do not overtighten the locking screws. Thanks for the aileron travel hint. I moved the aileron rods to the inside hole of the original servo horn. It's thicker there than at the tip so I had to use tubing to lock them. Waiting for a calm day to fly it.
The flight controller (gyro) is what this plane is ALL about. RadioLink really did a good job setting up the plane exactly as needed for the controller to work right. The quick-start guide describes everything pretty well so anyone can understand the different modes. I’m baffled why you did a “review” on it without reading the guide! You TOTALLY missed the essence of this plane.
Well, that is pretty much the point. I could not make heads or tails of the instructions. If RadioLink satisfied with this arrangement, is their choice. Just some honest feedback on my part. Tim
Nice video and review! I'm with you on the computerized issues. Sounds simple to download software - until your computer or phone starts an update or you get a corrupted file. I like mechanical adjustments!
Given the power of that little motor it's probably worth mentioning that although the propeller is held on with an elastic band it's more than capable of causing wounds. I learnt this the hard way
I looked that plane last year when considering sub-250 gram. I'm going that route, along with an RID module for others, but I like building. I've got a couple of sub-250 designs free on Cults 3D combining 3D printing with some balsa and covering film. You can easily create shapes with 3D printing that would be tedious and time consuming any other way. The maker crowd is not exactly like us, for lack of a good analogy, but over 15,000 views and several hundred downloads. I also have 60" 3D printed wing frames for Dollar Tree foam that have a true airfoil and cost less than $2 per wing panel.@@TimMcKay56
Thanks for your video, Tim! Be careful of the propellers, we suggest you remove the props when you only power on to test this airplane. Hope you enjoy fly time with this airplane!
@@TimMcKay56 That's especially important when doing the Level Calibration - on the older version of the firmware on the Byme-A stab the motor will give a kick at the end of the calibration process! Not sure about the v2. version. Those oddly set-up Modes on the 2 switches are a REAL PITA!!! If using a Multi Module Radio you can reset them into a much more sensible order. 🙄😉
@@TimMcKay56 Also using a Multi Radio (or a Spektrum one if you know how to set it up to use the required A, E, T, R, Mode Ch1, Ch6, Mode Ch2 channel order that the Byme-A stab MUST SEE) will allow you to easily set each Mode up with the required Rates and Expo needed WITHOUT mucking around with computers! A warning! If you severely mechanically limit the throws to suit Manual-only flying (rather than using Rates/Expo tied to the switch settings for the various modes) you will swiftly find that you will need 400 yards to turn the plane around when the limits for the various Stability Modes are applied by the stabilizer. 😉
they have the pnp version which i think you would like to bind to your dx radio I'm thinking about buying it as well good lil plane to have in your hanger. Thanks Tim Happy Flying!
Did you also try the different flight modes? There is also a mode that allows full aerobatic flight, but the gyro stabilizes and limits roll rate. In that mode, it's much more controllable, similar to AS3X. There is also a mode where the gyro is totally off, and then the roll rate is quite insane, making the plane very twitchy.
@@TimMcKay56 I should have an overview of each of the modes and what switch combo selects which one. With gyro assist it flies more smoothly, just like most smaller planes.
Hi, if the airplane's wing would wobble when the A560 flies at high speed. You could try to adjust the position of the aileron servo arm buckle to solve. It's recommended to adjust the position and move the mounting hole to the center.
Are you sure you have the gyro adjusted properly -at least the rudder? Because it looked as it was set up to destabilize rather than correct the flight path...
This is an odd video. This plane has 4 different modes with the switches that he constantly said he doesn't know what they do! And tried to put it in manual mode right off! That's the most difficult of all. Then started making mods so the Manual mode changed! Sheesh, did he even read the manual? I guess not.
TV: I am a fairly experienced RC modeler and pilot. I had extensive communication with the manufacturer to even publish the video as the instructions for the system were essentially incomprehensible. I wanted to ensure any users of this plane knew what they were getting into, not by any stretch a plug and play. Tim
I NEED to do a regular People reveiw WILL BREAK!, NOT RTF unless you want a headache. MUST REINFORCE BOTTOM TAIL, FUSE AND WING WITH 1.2MM CARBON ROD. SET ATTITUDE AT 15DEG. 1.45" SPORT WHEELS. AND LANDING GEAR MOD, SET THROWS,expo, end points ON APP AND ITLL FLY SOLID Like the Erratix. PUT TOGETHER ONCE AND DONT TAKE APART!!!!!!!!!
Very disappointed with your review. You do not need to modify or change linkage to fly this model. What you REALLY need to do is read the manual!!!! The switches on the model can be set to fly in stable mode that limit throws and helps stabilize the plane for a beginner pilot. Later you can set the switches to fly in aerobic mode with some stabilization. In this mode you can loop, barrel roll and other 3D maneuvers. Once you get proficient you set the switches for no gyro/stabilization and really wring out the plane. Out of the box and assembled flying in stabilization mode this is a fun easy to fly plane.
@@TimMcKay56 yes the rocker switches on the top of the transmitter. There is a simple chart in the instructions to help explain the settings. For Beginner mode you set both switches to down. This makes flying the a560 a breeze. With a little practice you can toggle between beginner and aerobatic modes with a simple click of the switches.

Nice review. Not sure if you know but you can get heatshrink tubing with glue inside it that melts and sets when you heat the tubing.

It's sub 250 grams? So you wouldn't need a remote id?
correct, as of this comment, if the rc model is under 250g it does not need a RID module.
Correct!
