Great colour!

Wings are fast and aggressive they deserve a loud colour.

So far so good, ran out of paint tho !

Looking good, I've made some good progress with mine, sticking it all together tomorrow!

Nice. What battery setup are you going for? Depending on the weight of your batteries you might want to hang the motor on the other side of the mount.

I have ordered two 4s 4400 nano techs ! To be honest I have never had great experiences with nano techs but fingers crossed this time. And your right about the motor placement, I'm going to wait until I have all the bits then bolt down into position, all I'm missing now is an antenna for the VTX and some uhu por ! I know the 8 channel diversity rx is a bit overkill but that's all I had without spending more cash ! Loving the build so far tho.

Sorry for the slow update ! My build blog is about as good as my love life ! Anyhow, my servos are growling ! They won't quite find their centre and relax, but, I am using new components on the whole so don't really know what I'm doing. Building this wing has been awesome, and I just traded in my spektrum for a taranis plus and ezuhf module, so lots of new stuff, the taranis has been melting my brain for the past 48hrs but starting to get there. Have done a calibration on the sticks and made sure plane is in manual mode but the servos just won't relax.
Here's a pic of things roughly layed out, please, any tips would be much appreciated.

Have you tried plugging the servos directly into the rx to see if the still twitch?

benitoculito · February 03, 2015, 11:00:31 PM

Just tried plugging servos direct into rx and they are still growling. I have not played with any settings in the ezuhf yet. More brain melt !

Brucey · February 04, 2015, 07:13:46 AM

Hmm, what servos are they?
Can you power just the RX and servos without powering the rest of the plane?
Have you connected the ezUHF tx to the RX? How do the servos move?

Bit of an update, was struggling with the storm osd so have swopped over to eagle tree osd pro. On the bench it seems to work great, I have set the stabiliser gain control to a knob which seems to work well and the osd gives more than enough info it's awesome. But can I ask one question, thrust angle ? What are people going for, or just bolt her down !

I've not adjusted mine
