RE: Flying wing conversion to micro flight
OH, one more thing.
I assume this, but just to be sure:
When setting up a "zagi" airplane, the two servos are used in "elevon" mode, which my transmitter can mix, and doesn't require anything special on the 4-channel receiver. But I was wondering on the RFFS-100, is the setup the same? I assume it is a three channel receiver
In other words, will hooking up the actuators to the rudder/elevator channels work the "elevons" I would be creating in this simi-air wing?
Oops, I lied, two things:
I did find many threads on rc-groups when finally searching on "N9M", which apparently the Simi-air wing copies. But funny thing, those threads all seem to be using two motors (and two ESC controllers???). Why do they think they need so much power? The way I figured it, with the RFFS-100 system and all the components you mention, it weighs practically the same as the 8 grams of putty-ballast in this wing.
And, as mentioned by U2Steve, those threads are old -- they talk about 4-5 oz flying weight!!!
I guess what I ASSUMED I would be getting is a nice slow-flying wing here since the all-up weight is bacically an ounce. I thought those KP-00 (or other) motors would have loads of thrust but could fly slowly, too?
Does this make sense or am I nuts?
