I didn't build the twin 160 setup....don't remember if ballast was used aside from the batteries.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

I will probably fix the D9s wing first as id prefer the do335 to still be in one piece for WOTR:-)

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

It'll fly again once I fix the landing gear on one wing that came out on the last flight.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Plane is already setup the way it is. I'm completely aware that both motors can spin the same direction and be fine.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Don't have the same motor front and back...so can't use the same prop on mine. Not going to change them either.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

I do believe I stated I ordered another set of batteries. I hadn't done so prior just in case disaster happened. Common sense I thlnk. I also do have two 12v deep cycle marine batteries and two...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

I think really, the only way to increase the load on the rear motor, is to use a bigger prop. However, doing this requires the effect previously mentioned from the first motor. I could put say a...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

I have the JR 9 channel 2.4 radio. It is the version without the sim card so only 30 model memory. While I would love to have the newer JR11x cylon looking radio, I cant see spending that much for...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

That's not something I had thought of. But, as I have no spare channels open nor an rx that runs telemetry, I would have to invest in a completely separate system. While the idea is nice, Im not...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

I do think getting the castle link is a good idea, however, in the mean time, I just finished reprogramming the esc. I took it off auto-lipo detect and set it to 30v cutoff(equivalent to 10s as far...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

First flight was basically full throttle as I had no idea yet how slow it would fly. Being as heavy as it is, I erred on the side of keeping speed up till I could see how she'd react.
Once on the...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

So....there's no setting in the programming for the castle ice hv2 160 that just shuts off the lvc. Is there any issue with setting the lipo count to 10s to force a cutoff voltage of 33 volts instead...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

I actually said that at the field after the flight was over. yeah....going to look at esc manual and see about doing something about the lvc point. ive disabled the lvc in some other planes before.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Ok.....so after action review. I did not really have time to test slower speed or test stall point.....so that's a mute point. I had 3 laps before trying to lower the gear and then that whole issue...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Well.....from the start of the takeoff roll to LVC was 4 mins 45 secs. Admittedly, I held full throttle throughout the flight as I didn't know how slow it could safely fly. With throttle management...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Well......

Winds decided to ignore the weather channel's forecast and stayed relatively mild most of the morning, so I packed the DO-335 up in the trailer and headed out to the field at 10am.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Originally had planned to try tomorrow, but winds are questionable (8-11mph) and currently projected as a direct crosswind to the runway. While I know the Do-335 is a tri gear and wouldnt have some...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

:eek:There are true hinge pins on some of the surfaces, and as I said before, ALL surfaces have hinge tape in addition to whatever hinge is on any of them. They cannot pull out as a result.

Every single control surface has had hinge gap tape affixed in addition to ca or pin hinges used.

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Not going to debate about it. It would be same if u put a 50cc gas up front and a 26-30cc in the rear. Same prop sizes in use except my 65 rimfire can easily swing a higher pitch and larger diameter...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Was trying to keep weight out of the tail since all reports were that people were having to put everything'snt up front to balance. Also, I don't know of any 3 blade PUSHER prop bigger then 16x10 and...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

Well....I will try with the current prop(20x14) as they aren't cheap to acquire. Also....the pitch will get the plane moving faster on the ground to get more air moving over the wings, but a larger...

RE: ESM Dornier DO 335

jimkron....you are using 20x10s right? You don't use any flaps at all on take off correct?

I also highly doubt mine will jump into the air(non literal interpretations included). Im more worried...
