    Nice video! lots of useful info. I just got one and would like to do the same with separating ail/flaps/ele/rudders.
    Do you recall the length of the servo extension required to get rid of the ribbon cable and split ail flap and gear direct to receiver?
    I'm going to try a different technique with speedbrakes that worked well with F-16 (flaperons up and elevators full down). All on one momentary switch: Full ail and Flaps up, full tailerons down and rudders inwards (like F18)...for landing rollout use only. What do you think?

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  2 роки тому

      I don't specifically recall the length, but you can't go wrong with at least 0.5 to 0.75m worth of servo leads. It just takes some effort to run them through using a string. With landing rollouts, any surfaces hitting the air stream will work. The more deflection you get and the more surface area you can present to the air, the faster it'll slow down. Go for it!

    Wow, great video! Where to start? I like where you are going with this. Being a jeti user, I m certain my gear has the capabilities to duplicate but my lack of exploring all of its features over the past 8 years is going to force me to learn the radio better before ending up with the same result. That is a good thing as I’ve put up with this nuance by cheating and timing when the gear retract based on the known delay. Hard to get that right every time and duplicate scale operation.
    My Raptor has 15 channels available with a 10 channel rx + 5 via a 5 channel expander. I like your method of eliminating the delay of gear cycling via using sequence programming. Again, something I have not tried to date.

    Sup Two Brothers. Futaba flier giving Spektrum a chance. So far seems easier as Spetrum IX20Se explains things…. Question is are you doing 2 different flight modes, or are your mixes for flaperons and elavons always on? Using all surfaces all the time makes complete sense but it would seem taming things back down , for landing, makes me think modes make sense. Your mixes resemble a bird in flight and I’m guessing that’s how they got the F-22 to shine. My concern is flaps and elevator moving opposite during landing. Got a F-22 Raptor 8s on the way and I want full maneuverability, so I’m interested that you went there with removing the included blue-box.
    Next question, how’d you get dark mode blue instead of black on the IX20Se? It’s cool😉

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  Рік тому

      No flight modes here - the control surfaces all moving, all the time. We use lower rates for landing and takeoff, and full rates for flying. This is covered in the gear based rates chapter. The gear switch governs the rates used.
      Dark mode is an option in the Airware app as of a few updates ago.

    Very nice, but i am just curious how many times you used these mixes during your flights?

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  2 роки тому +1

      Sequencing isn't something we're able to explain easily via text. The best way to practice it would be to connect a receiver to a pair of servos on a table or desk, then adjust settings until one of them closes before the other. 90mm-class Freewing retracts generally take two to four seconds to close, so time the second servo (which would function as the door servo) to sequence based on that information.

Half flap set to approx 20 deg and full flap is at servo full forward position.

For me, it's a shame the video doesn't seem to cover linkage and servo changes - if any. I found it really quick and easy to deal with the cable threading - a bit of twine pulled through and back again tied to cable. I've now set it up with flaps being flaps and ailerons drooping in line with flaps for take-off and then going to a few degrees up when full flaps are selected. I need to be led through step by step - I'm afraid I found your video rather muddling because you seemed to keep wandering off on some explanation unconnected with the direct setup.

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  2 роки тому

      Wing and tail config determine predefined mixes for that specific type of aircraft. E.g. elevon wing types will automatically handle the mixing to make it handle pitch/roll as aerodynamically required. It will also instruct the receiver to stabilize it accordingly. If you don't use the correct type of wing or tail for your specific aircraft, the gyro won't stabilize it properly.

How AS3X stabilizes a model is directly linked to how it was set up as a wing and tail type. My F/A-18C uses an elevon wing setup so the stabilators correct for pitch and roll. The ailerons have no AS3X effectiveness at all. This means that I need higher gains to get roll disruptions stabilized because the stabilators aren't as effective on roll as they are in pitch.

      Switching the channel positions should make no difference. Try assigning the mix to left flap instead of right, or vice versa. One of them will be the counter-rotating channel.

I've always used either flight modes to turn those functions on/off, or just simply tie them to their own switch. Both are pretty similar. With OpenTX you can mix any channel and/or switch to each other. There really are no limits. Good work either way.

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  2 роки тому

      It's not difficult or even unconventional - I just don't want to use flight modes because I want the ability to switch in and out of specific configurations as I please, rather than being rigidly locked into a FM system that might not let me get the most performance out of this model. Appreciate the feedback however!

    Hey Jon I’ve been getting really comfortable with my Raptor. I have my tailerons set up and I can do low and slow high alpha really well now. I learned how to flat spin my 2.1m Carbon cub and my TT evolution but I can not get my raptor to flat spin. It just doesn’t want to rotate. I have everything set up by the book in terms of throw. I think the obvious answer to this would be more rudder throw but what about elevator or aileron? Any thoughts? My CG is 165mm back as you recommended and it flies and lands so much better than 150mm

    so i have done high alpha with the f22 with the little custom bottom strakes and the bad news is that above like 30 degrees the roll control reverses hard on this so having the gyro correct roll on the stabs makes it rock even more because the stabs stall faster at higher aoa so they just become airbrakes what i do is manually input roll opposite to the direction i want to roll which messes with your brain so hard trying to fly like that but it works

    question for you about 150% or max throws- when you are setting your planes up for max throw potential, are you doing the 150% only in the Radio? or are you also maxing out the mechanical set up in addition to the radio? or just mechanical max throw? ie- furthest out hole on the servo and closest in on the surface?

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  2 роки тому +1

      Usually maxing out the mechanical and electrical throw unless there's no need. Ailerons on this jet work better with 150% rates and a hole or two in on the control arm.

Also do you have you full span ailerons and tailerons on full time when flying or do you have on switch and go back and from conventional set up to full span ailerons and tailerons?

I'd love to see you start with your simple AR1036T receiver set up (channel assign, etc) to set the stage for all the advanced stuff. Might be easier to learn this way. I'm on an iX14 and fly predominantly SMART / Spektrum products. Perhaps I'm in over my head here with this Jet. I'd like to get the AR1036T installed, the , allow me to fly it in SAFE as needed, AS3X all the time and somehow eventually learn how to get the initial mixes set up to enhance the flight abilities. Sadly, I'm so afraid now regarding getting this setup right that I'll likely never take this thing to the field. I'll put this on repeat until I get it. Thanks Jon.

      The latter. Gear up = 150% rates, 70 to 85% expo depending on the model. Gear down = 47% rates (47% of 150% = 70%) with 50% expo. Setting this up does two things:
      A) It prevents the stabs from reaching the ground on bumpy landings and takeoffs.
      B) It prevents overcontrol during critical phases of flight.

    So you did get the F14! I'm planning to get the ARF F14, and put 2 Xfly 80mm inrunners in it.
    A thought about the flaperon and the taileron setup. I've heard a lot of people say they don't get a linear response with the F14 when its wings swept back. The reason is when the wing is swept back, and moving trailing edge up, the ailerons are generating turbulence which affects the taileron. Could the flaperon does the same thing to the taileron on the F22 as they are pretty much right next to each other?

In Safe mode the tailerns are working opposite to the ailerons and I don't think u managed to fix that issue here. Yes they work for stability when rocking the plane but when using the sticks they aren't working the correct direction. In AS3X mode the tailerons do work correctly. Also you mentioned about switching tailerons off. How did you do this? With mixes AIL to LEL to iron the tailerons out? I'm busy mixing them out on D for no tailerons, low rate and high rate input. Is this the correct way to get tailerons on and off? Hope you can help. Esp the Safe issue with reversed tailerons problem. Cheers.

    • @TwoBrosRC
      @TwoBrosRC  2 роки тому +1

      Make sure you have a differential stabilator mix active when SAFE is turned on, otherwise it'll work backwards. E.g. don't turn them off when SAFE is engaged. Make sure you're using the Taileron A or B type (whichever is required to make directions work correctly) and program the receiver using that tail type before moving it back to dual elevators.

High rate tailerons at D 2. It worked but soon as I enabled Safe on the RX the rates do drop as ud expect since safe reduces throws but at D 0.(no tailerons) Safe is reversing my tailerons like it was in this video. That's the biggest problem I'm facing. I don't mind less throws dual ELV/tailerons set up. It's the reverse tailerons in safe I can't fix.

    Why not do a video for a simple setup for taileron by just disconnecting the 2 elevator leads from the bluebox and plugging those leads directly into 2 separate channels on the receiver. This allows mixing with most transmitters so the stabulators follow the ailerons but ailerons do not follow the up down action of the stabulators. The only negative I can identify is If you use a gyro you loose.elevator stabilization capability.
