Hi,

Dave Wilshere

Another quetion
witch type doe carf use?
notised that when instaling the pipe the rear former that also holds the taiplane.
on one side there is no glue on one side of the former.
i think they forgot to put glue on that side
should i us 24hr epoxy with micro baloons and cotton flock or use hysol 9462
Regards peter

Dave Wilshere

That area is less critical, but if you have 9462 that is perfect. Or 30minute epoxy with flock/talc

Will let the factory know it was part missed. Thanks

Dave

I brought this to note about former gluing and a few other issues ages ago and was blown-off .......
What's QA sticker number & order number ?
I also sent a communication to Adraes G. and guess what ......not one response
comp arf has piss poor QA !
That's my opinion -

jetpower

Thanks
will use 9462
My fuse does not have a number written in it

Hey Peter, I know your all set on the glue front, that Hysol works AMAZING!!! I believe that glue you took a picture of is called CAB-O-SIL. That stuff dries hard as a rock!!

jetpower

thanks for the answer bud i cant get a hold of that stuff bud i already used hysol.

Would sure like to see some more pics of radio installations under the canopy. On my trainer type jets I have just ran two 4200 nimh 6 volt batteries into two heavy duty normal type switches and then on into the radio. Would this work with 11 high end digital servos on my Carf Ultra Flash EVO?????? Would really be nice if this installation did not turn into the usual rats nest...........thanks in advance.

I'm at that stage of install, getting the equip tray planned out. When I finish I will post some pictures. Your servos, are they high voltage? If they are, you're defeating the purpose of that voltage of said servos with Nimh. Jam some Lipos/Lion in there, may need the extra weight for CG purposes

Yes it will work.
But using 2 batteries and switches and then just connecting them in parallel on the receiver end is a bit of a weird setup?
The only "protection" you get out of that setup is against switch failure?

Am going to give it some more thought. And you should see some of the weird looks when explaining it at the field. Thanks.

Rudeboy

I would say, if you want to keep it simple: use something like a Powerbox Sensor Switch.

It gives you redundancy on your dual battery setup. And things just keep on running should 1 battery fail + you can tell from the led light something is off when you're back in the pits.

If you wanted to get fancy you could have a voltage sensor on both packs, feeding telemetry back to to you while flying.

Dave Wilshere

Two switches/ batteries is a time bomb. One battery goes bad it takes out the other. The Flash series of jets were designed around the Powerbox Sensor switch, the V3 is another step forward.
You can use your 5N NiMH packs with a Sensor switch if you wish

OK Evo guys!


Thanks to my friend Colin, he held my hand for the Unilight install. I wanted to share my experience with the install. I took a few pictures along the way, the install was really easy and straightforward. Easy Peasy!!!!

Did you do a strobe on the bottom of the fuse ?

Hey Tom...which lights were those?

Thanks Tom, the more pics and light info the better, seems we all are interested. Nice scheme!!

737Driver

that’s next, doing those tonight. I’ll post pics of the install, but I’m following Colin Bell’s install.

737Driver

Hey Brian!

Uni-Light. Can’t say enough how nice these lights are, the shipping was Uber fast! I ordered the lights on 22 December and got them 27 December!

737Driver

no problem! I have to say I was really scared when I tore into a brand new wing to put these things in but it’s been nothing but easy. It’s like they were meant to be there the whole time.

737Driver

Here’s a little progress report on the Uni Light install. I used hot glue to install the lenses and light assy. The nose door light hot glue is a tad messy for me, but that light ain’t going anywhere!



Lense installed

Light install with hot glue

Hole drilled

737Driver

Had to remove that black thing, door wouldn’t close with the EV 40 gear. It was plastic so not sure if it was necessary for heat sync

WAY to much hot glue
