Default RE: OS .10 Trainer

Another oversite on my part was I did not put a cable channel in the handle for the battery. So I clamped the handle up and used a hand saw to cut a groove in back of the handle. I then epoxied a piece of poplar light ply over the back of the handle and trimmed and sanded to match. Now I can stuff the battery lead down the handle.<div></div><div>The throttle trigger on the TX was set up to center with travel both in forward and back of its center position. I guess for reverse. I fixed that by removing the cam arm off the top of the trigger and relocating the spring so it pulls on the trigger vice the cam arm. I also swapped the pot cables for the steering and throttle. The reason for that is there was no trim for throttle, just steering. Now I can set the travel volume and end points.</div><div></div><div>Next is to cut the lower part of the TX off and mount it on my control handle. Also remove the steering knob. At some point I am going to replace the steering pot with a pair of resistor pads and a switch that will mimic the pot at either steering limit. I will mount the switch on the handle for thumb activation. A big enough plane and I just might run a smoke system.</div><div></div><div>Ken</div>
