Got The Boca bearings inbound today or to morrow so i can swap them out.

And just as an protective measure i put one of these in between the nose gear servo and my receiver.
It should protect against a short, so better safe then sorry one i suppose ...

Hopfully i get her ready somewhere this week (if the kids leave me in peace )

Quick question, anyone know the front to rear measurement (center section) of the Joker wing?

Midas D.

Euh, can any one explain this one??
It was in the bag with the gear stuff..

Cheers,

Ed

Ps. i know what it is and what for, but on the whole thing no torx-bolts to be found..

For the screw that clamps the struts in the gear trunion.

18.74 inches, thanks!

Midas D.

Check, just found out where they hide

Swapped out the bearings in the nose gear, quite some fiddle with "off-shore" hands




Thanks for the heads up Thumbler, sorry you had to go through the pain of breaking them first.
But it's wise to swap them in advance i guess, cause indeed, the stock ones break already by looking at them

Proud new owner. It looks great in person and comparable in overall size to a flash but sooo lightweight. Got the PNP version but unfortunately won't be able to start on it anytime soon because of moving.

All the "internal's" are done

Now only the small bits to do, gear covers/doors, battery tray in the nose, CG and programming.

I'm almost there

Hi Tumbler,

Just a thought from my side....

Did you check that thin red and black wire that goes to valve on the pump?
That wire to me looks very delicate and there might be a break there due to "flapping about" over time??
Check it for continuity with a multimeter i would say....

But again, just a thought ...

Cheers,

Ed

Ready for maiden.

Hope to get it done to morrow or Tuesday.

One question, what do you guy's do with the battery that goes in the gear controller box?
I got no switch in between, so i plug it in straight, but can you leave it there when the rest of the system is not powered up or do i need to pull the plug/connector out?

Cheers,

Ed

My maiden is delayed i think

For some reason my servo's freeze when i flik a switch?
It's the McGregor servos witch are in the PNP version in combination with futaba.
If i flik the flap switch sometimes the servo just or, does not go in to the crow position or does not come out it?
When i then slightly touch the stick it comes back alive normal??
Same if i flick to dual rate, sometimes one of the servo's freezes in the old position ..??
Other strange things if you look close to the video, if i let go of the stick, both elevator servo's start to flap in opposite direction???

This is the weirdest I've ever came across ...

any suggestions?

Every thing runs smooth and free and in servo test mode every thing works flawless.....

Cheers,

Ed

How far should the k85 nozzle be placed from the pipe face?

Midas D.

Well i'm totally confused now.

just by experimenting with the above issue, i thought it might be an idea to swap out receivers.
So i went from an 7014 back to an old 6014 and from 7.4V back to 6V cause the 6014 does not like 7.4V.

guess what......

All problems solved........

I'm completely lost in space now, but the good thing, Maiden to morrow

Sounds like the 7014 has issues??

Sparhawk

Have you tried the different modes that the receiver can do?

Midas D.

Hi Sparhawk,

Yes i did, tried them all that are available on the receiver, no succes.

Cheers,
