Lemon RX Test
I have flown the Spektrum/JR Lemon receivers in 3 different planes so far without a hitch. The latest plane is a PBF (Pizza Box Flier). I had one several years ago and it flew well. A buddy wanted to try some Coroplast & downspout planes, so I built a couple.
The PBF is a 24"x24" square of Coroplast with CF spar stiffeners, an aluminum channel spine and a ply engine mount. I am using a TT .42GP for power-maybe the same one I used on the first one. On high rate I have 70 degrees of elevon travel. The PBF will flat spin upright and inverted and flip end-over-end. The past weekend, I got into a weird, nose straight down spin and couldn't recover. The PBF boinked in on its nose. Neither the plane or engine was hurt.
The Lemon RX is still working. It's Velcroed to the wing in a zip-lock bag next to the spine and vibration hasn't seemed to bother it so far.
