11:30 like my AeroScout mini!
I think ima get the cub if i can it looks better :D (unless i get a surprise budget increase)
Cant go wrong with the Cub!
Also @BRGT350 , what battery checker do you recommend? My aeroscout mini tells me when i have to land by dropping the thrust to 50%, i immediately cut throttle and land. So, i dont have one yet.
I use the Spektrum Smart Checker, which works awesome for checking both Smart and regular batteries. I can do firmware updates to my Smart batteries, use it as a servo driver/tester, and even recharge my phone with it. I don't think it will check the batteries in the Micro trainers, which is pretty normal that battery checkers don't check 1S packs. For flying, set the timer on your phone for 6 minutes and land when it hits zero.
@@BRGT350 ok!
@@BRGT350 Also are there any au sites that sell them? i don wanna pay like 50$ more for shipping
Has the prop on your p51 popped off mid flight?
yep! It was my fault as I powered it up for a hand launch and noticed that the prop sounded different and sure enough, the prop flew off on climb out. It was missing for a few days before I found it. I have since painted prop tips neon yellow and added chrome strip on the backside of the prop to make it easier to find. As part of my preflight check, I make sure the prop is fully seated before taking off. I should have stopped to check the prop before hand launching when I heard the sound was different.
@@BRGT350 thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, we've lost one of the prop sets due to this and the second one, we've yet to get a full flight out of it before it slips off the rod, mid air.
Thankfully this thing glides well enough to bring down safely but I'm at a loss as to how to stop it from doing this.
Mine didn't slip off the shaft, but rather the pop-off prop adapter wasn't properly seated when I powered up. Not totally sure how to keep the plastic prop adapter from coming off the motor shaft. It would be tough to find an adhesive that would adhere to the metal and plastic. One option might be to cut a circumferential groove around the motor shaft about half way between the motor and the end of the shaft, but not too deep as you don't want to make the shaft weak, and then apply some super glue into the plastic prop adapter, slide the adapter on to the prop shaft, the super glue will be displaced from the slip fit condition of the parts, but flow into the groove you cut around the shaft, but adhere to the plastic. Basically creating a locking ring of super glue that is stuck to the plastic and the groove prevents the super glue from being pulled out.
