Hi to all,
one point for me to the painting of the fuselage. At the top you have "silver colour". For my point of view "silver" in the air is not good; you will have reflexions/blinkings from the sun and "silver" will give no good visible view/line for pilot and judge.
We just had it with the Seba MythoS 2x2 m; at the buttom is red with silver and gold stripes. Depending on the sun in every roll combination the silver strips under the wing is blinking and giving reflexions. So I removed all this strips and did 3 normal whites stripes at the tipp of the wings and as well stab. Now no reflexions from the sun and the 3 white strips makes the plane better visible and gives a better line in the air,
Silver or gold colours are for my point of view no good colours; looking fine at the ground, but making some troubles in the air (sun reflexions etc.) for pilots AND judges.
I think the fixing of the top wing only with one srew is not a perfect solution, even if there were no problems during the test flights. The actuall modification is ... mmmhhh... a smal step in the correct way. The best way is - as at all F3A biplanes - to fix the top wing with two srews at the fuselage. But this is only my personal opinion.
Anyway a really interesting plane.
Corresponding the speed controller:
we are using the Jeti DC-16 together with the Hacker Q80 (Falcon Prop) and the Mezon 95 speed controller; the stuff works great and really fantastic to programm the Mezon whireless via the Jeti DC-16 TX and having all datas (rpm, ampere, voltage, temperature etc.) at the display of the Jeti DC-16 and if you want to have all this datas comming via voice announcement.
Also we have set a voice alarm to 4000 mA (10s battery is Hacker 4500 EcoEx); so if reaching 4000 mA, the Jeti TX says "alarm 4000 mA).
A really perfect combination !
