not bad luke but where is the c140 build page.

it works, but like Kane says, "where's the build page"

No build page because i forgot to take piccies!

If anyone really wants a build page then send your build pics to me and i'll do one![8D]

Should hopefully get a 140vid done soon - just have to sort out some worrying glitching first! It gave full down and then full up on 3d rates a couple of times yesterday[X(][X(][X(] Thought the whole tail was coming off!

I'm very suprised because using these multiplex IPD recievers i havent had a single glitch in two years worth of flying even on adjacent frequencies to someone else[] Have heard that the kempton park site can give intereference though so i'll try and see if i can get the glitch at elmbridge.


PS
Kane have you gone up in that pitts yet?

Nicely done site! [sm=thumbup.gif]

who's gareth?

you mean when is adam going up in the pitts hes waiting on mum to book it.

Luke,

Why not PCM on this model??

The last case of glitching on an intelligent pulse type RX I came across turned out to be a flaky pot on the TX, as it was always the same channel affected..
The TX was a 9c, so not a cheapy either....
IPD Rxs tend to only move on receipt of a valid signal....

Try a thorough range test on the deck to see if you can recreate it!!

Regards,

Steve

The reason i didnt go for PCM is because it costs more and goes immediately into failsafe if you get intereference. The IPD is supposed to filter it out and then apply the most recent control inputs if it gets any worse (cant remeber the specifics)

I tried about five range checks with the model at all attitudes but couldnt re-create the effect. I'm suprised because IPD is supposed to iron out clitches. I was told afterwards that numerous people at the kempton site lose their planes to interference even with PCM, so it may just be a fluke.


Will get the TX checked.................when you say flaky do you mean dirty?
I also heard about Welsh 3d's tx wires coming out due to too much 3d stick bashing () so will check them too!


PS NEW c140EX PAGE UP WITH BUILD PICCIES!
http://www.sueco.pwp.blueyonder.co.u...ite/c140ex.htm

luke the build page isnt working[:@]

awwwww **** whats it done now!?
i'll sort it tomorrow

nor is the links when you click on the pics of the C140ex and C50[:@]

Its working fine now

PCM will only lock out at a level far beyond you would have lost the plane on a PPM rx. Only ever had one problem with mine.

Only advantage with PPM is it tells you if there is low level interferance.

dunno about anyone else. but i have hardly ever had a glitch. ive only ever had the futaba 138DC reciever, my cougars ones arial is about 5 inches short (cut it in a flat spin when it decided to un atach itself to the plane). have i just got a good non glitchy site to fly at, or am i just lucky?

Eddie,

I've NEVER had a glitch flying IC (now that's asking for it)

The only time i've gotten glitches is when I've been flying electric... some brushless escs can really shorten range at 35Mhz... seems the US made stuff only gets tested so it doesn't interfere with 72Mhz!!!

Regards,

Steve

My plane is glitch central. Need to send reciever off or get a new one! Quite upsetting to get full down on 3D rates every time the plane goes past the end of my aerial!

If the rate switch on the TX makes a difference as to how bad the glitches are, then it CANNOT be your RX at fault!!


Regards,

Steve

i think what he means is that if your plane is set up with severe throws and even if you are flying on reduced rates the glitch will just bang the servo over so it is far more severe on a plane set up for 3D

Dave

Hey Archie you were talking about some pictures of the freestyle comp a page back i was wondering if you could post the pics on RCU

I thought it was a glitch that killed my C50 the other week! But turned out the crystal fell out!! [:@] Now all my cyrstalls are taped into the recievers.

My new Capiche...

Its.. um.. bright!

Berk - Yeah i ment that any glitch on a plane with 3D movements is pretty tasty (wot da boy sed). Even if the interference/loss of signal or whatever is for a very short time. Changed my receiver and the prob went away so need to send old one off. It only happens when you fly across the end of the aerial (when the signal is wekaest) - i.e. if you point the aerial directly at the plane (which you're not supposed to do i know). Trouble is i've held my transmitter the same way for 13 odd years so its difficult to change habbit. Need one of them trannys with an adjustable aerial on a ball joint thing at the base. A tranny with balls...!

oh dear!

And why is it always full down elevator in the glitch????? typical.

My trademark fluorescent pink. Lovely eh!

Will put up some flying pics once get some.

Angus

fly upside-down when you fly past yourself then[&:]

Angus, i like it, but what have you done with that cowl![:'(][:'(]

Very nice angus. is the bottom pink too?
